Freaking LOVE this man.
Since I first heard Momentary Lapse of Reason I was sure Pink Floyd would not only go on but there was so much more to look forward to; as a fan in 2022 so grateful to this musician for staying true to the Floyd way.
That's a great album
What a lovely man Mr Gilmour is, His grounded personality is a shining example to all of us.
PG tips and marmite on his rider, PURE ENGLISH CLASS.
Thank you for the upload Mudman.
Peace and love.
@ojay USED to be. Now he's a warmonger.
He's such an intelligent, articulate, handsome, talented, dedicated musician and producer. An absolute legend.
I was at this and still remember so well what a great man
I saw him picking up his geetar there. What did he play? Shame we never saw it here.
@@theguitardude5613 Was about to ask the exact same question. Come on, Ian, don't let us hang dry like that! ˘J˘
DAVID GILMOUR THE KING
i'd like to cruise down the river on his studio boat and play vintage guitars all day.
It’s nice the way he answers questions , it appears he doesn’t feel the need to be dramatic or try to please anyone with a rockstar image. If anyone wants to know how the English language should be spoken you just have to listen to Mr. Gilmore
Loved your commentary...and explanatory breakdown of the album...and especially in 'Hey You'! Thank you for your heart felt explanation. I was right there with you in '79-80....going thru similar..if not same life's drama...as a sixteen year old. This Album for me too was a life line and life Preserver. Ohhh those Memory!! Thanks again Professor of Rock...You Rock!!!❤
Thanks for sharing this. My friend was there that night and I have been waiting for it to be posted on CZcams ever since.
Gilmour is the best.
Gilmour is so laid back that he almost seems bored.
He did not say much, even not with the few words he used.
Good to hear some original questions for David.
this was great. thank you!
These people who interview never SHUT UP long enough to let the Guest talk !!
I think you’ll find that David is a man of few words. Is extremely uncomfortable in these situations and by his own admission is an interviewers nightmare. Hence the interviewer trying to coax more out of him
@@markbarrett8180 Yeah, true. Musicians are not like actors and comedians and other entertainers. He did not bad. I've seen lots of interviews, MOST musicians are just horrible interviews. Marc Maron does interviews with comedians, then branched out to actors and musicians and definitely musicians are usually the worst.
There were some interesting questions in there. He's a deep creative force.
Wow.. Waterloo Sunset and Albatross.. I'm with you there David..
Gilmore is a genuis..
Genius !! Maestro !!!!
Legend!
why did he have to repeat every fukkin question....
Acoustic version of shine on you crazy diamond made me start playing guitar. That was about 2 months ago and I’ve almost got wish you were here.. almost . Only got page 1 of 23 for the lead of shine on. Should be ready in a few years 😂
how is it going so far?
are you on page 3 by now?
@@lowandodor1150 Let's hope so. It's a hard song to get right, a lot of chords to play over with nuance's and letting it breathe, kind of sounds like his guitar is singing the notes.
@@tonypoore440 I love playing really slow and quiet music. And i know a couple of really good guitar players, technically and they are having a really hard time, letting one note shine (pun intended) for itself. They can play super fast and hundreds of notes per second, but letting it breathe...not so much.
I never got into playing solos though. I am more of a chords, melody kinda guy, haha.
@@lowandodor1150 I love melodic music and solos too. I used to think faster was better until I really listened to David Gilmour. It took a while to slow down and feel the music and dare I say I'm a better player now. Music is about emotions, you have to feel it. Watch the video of DG playing Venice, people are crying in the audience, that's powerful, that's why he's the best to so many of us.
LEGGENDA VIVENTE GRANDE DAVE ❤
Brilliant !!!
Such a humble man
Why doesn't this channel have more subcribers?
Agreed! Waterloo Sunset is my favorite ! And Albatross still just scary good!
I think David gets a little irked with the bending questions because its just a simplistic explanation of what he "nicked". I know tons of guitar players who think bending is just "something you do" when in reality for people like David its all about the note and avoiding the restriction of frets to get a smoother sound. He usually is bending to a specific note, not just "bending" and when people say "oh you bend" he's just like "yeah everyone does."
boonexy - Totally agree with everything you said.
I kinda thought he was being humble. All he plays is pentatonic scales and he’s consider one of the greatest rock guitar players and the reason is his approach to bending, no one does it like him
What he's specifically known for is doing double bends - bending a whole step up, letting it ring, then bending up another whole step without picking first (or with). Sometimes he'll go another 1/2 step further and then release the bend. The solo from Brick Part 2 is a good example. That you could call a signature technique, but just talking about 'bending notes' doesn't distinguish his playing from anyone else's. That's like thinking Johnny Marr was the only guitarist to use chord arpeggiation.
@@peteolson6093 in another brick in the wall youre talking about the bend on I think B I don’t have a guitar on me but I think it’s the 15th fret G string you do a full bend release and then another one that is like 2 1/2, I think he does it on shine on you crazy diamond. But I think his real peak of skills is on animals and he utilizes bends in such a unique way. There’s also his subtle use of tremolo bar. He does a lot with very little.
He's said before that guitar playing is as much about 'how you move your hands' as anything else. Steve Howe, Steve Hackett, all those prog guys bent strings all to hell. Go listen to 'Soon" by Yes, and he's pretty much playing his guitar like a violin. And the violin spirit is a perfect metaphor because at that level there is really no describing what it is they are doing, you can watch it, you can replicate it, but its still not quite 'it'. Thats why the word 'style' exists. Prog exists in its own class because they took blues and combined it with classical, some just combined it with pop. But while 'prog' artists are lumped together, they are all very different. You can analyze it forever, but the 'ugly' fact is, if somebody else had joined Floyd, we may well be talking about 'THEIR' style. Especially in a band its very difficult to break things down analytically (in the music anyway). We don't even have the LANGUAGE as of yet.
Sweet Dave😘
First question is from Roger, LOL, that's odd.
The King 👑
Dave & Roger need to make up before they kick the bucket. The universe needs it.
They have made up, well certainly healed wounds, they've met and played together several times since this interview.
Zeusdaz - The Unemulated Retro Game Channel K good👍 I know about live aid a few years ago. I just hope they truly wanted to be there. I'm sure they did though. It's sad to think the Floyd could end in never ending bitterness no matter who's f--king fault it is. There all way to smart for that.
@@neilgoldring4832 I just listened to an interview with Roger from 2011 for The Wall tour and he got asked about David appearing on one of the shows playing & singing with him Comfortably numb and he told the whole story how it got to that and the way he told it, how they conversed back and forth about David wanting Roger to sing a song (i forget what it was, it was for some Palestinian charity event somewhere between this and 2011) and he sounded so nice, i really think they got over it and consider each other more than old band colleagues.
They were so important for my musical trajectory and life in general, i can't stand them not liking each other too, haha.
And how sad Richard had to leave this realm when he did....
That's their business.
Happy Father's Day David! He's so nice and polite in his answers, even if it was a little awkward at times. It stinks how it looks like he was going to play some, but the video ended.

@@ropiyas Thank you, rop!
my god
I always travel abroad with PG-Tips as well!
Waterloo Sunset. I'm having a hard time squaring that.
so cute at 6:50
6:14 - "Say What?" 😌 That's MY line!!!😏
23:25 "next time we do concerts we will definitely consider cambridge"...8 years later, new tour, no Cambridge date lol
7:40 no wine glasses from the streets below.
24:30 bamn. She got me.
Albatross really is a work of art. In the Mac documentary Mick talks about it being a copy of some hawaian artist but I couldn't really understand him and have gone through a lot of crappy hawaiian music. But albatross is one of those 'from the gods' kind of tunes.I was surpirsed when he said Dylan and Cohen as inspirations because mostly when I talk to guitar guys or musicians they are more like Phil Collins or Bill Bruford who say they don't even NOTICE the lyrics. And I think its fair to say that Dylan and Cohen are probably more noted for hteir lyrical styles than guitar playing. Its also not surprising that it was Roger Waters who left Pink Floyd and wasn't kicked out. Because I think Waters lyrics rank right up there with Dylan and Cohen, so the idea of basically providing the music for Dylan or Cohen would make any guitarist pretty happy. Of course Waters is not Dylan or Cohen so 'happy' is likely not the right word.
I am going to read Polly Sampson’s books. And I love David Gilmour! I remember putting two speakers close together, started “Dark”, and made my future husband lay down and take it all in...now we are divorced! LoL! 😎
Perhaps too close together? ....but you seem to take it well....
17:32 what an idiot that guy was, saying he would call him pig-headed in front of him, he sounded bloody rude. David already looked really uncomfortable during this interview without him making it more difficult.
Obviously we can't change what happened 7 years ago, but the guy could of just said "I know that you've co-written quite a few songs with Polly Sampson. How do you and Polly collaberate when you write lyrics together?" and it would have been much less long winded

I'm not defending him at all, but I suppose he was very nervous meeting David.
This was "his moment", and he blew it pretty badly. :)
Im pretty sure he was joking or maybe even being ironic. But yes, obviously it was a bit out of the blue.
I think the guy was being tongue n cheek.
@@SpaceCattttt oh come on it wasn't that bad David survived
6:50 brian may???
God himself
I find David to be somewhat genius. I find Roger to be somewhat genius. What a shame they act as toddlers. To think of the music they made and could make.
Human beings just acting like human beings, nothing more, nothing less
I think it goes deeper than acting like children to be honest.
The media likes to make it worst than it really is. They’re good friends, they even collaborate with each other. People need to let it go!!🙄🙄🙄
@@jamesluby6705 they were actually very good friends. Their songs wouldn't have been as good if they always agreed, they brought out the best in each other musically. Division Bell is full of songs about them being apart and, I believe, David wanting Roger back in the band.
They’re not making shit. Those days are long gone. Even if they got along, guys of this caliber just don’t make the kind of quality music past their 30s. None of them do.
6m50, Brian May ??? xD
18:40 great question. I would ask that question myself.
yeah Fucking PG tips get in there. estimation +100
is this what I saw at the Cinema.. and Gilmour looked embarrassed when a middle aged man gave him a gift whilst quivering with gratitude ?
??
@@kerridrury4240 You had to be there. I was.
@@deepindercheema4917 I only meant I didn't understand what you were saying just genuine curiosity.
@@kerridrury4240 This film was screened live at my nearest Odeon cinema. I went there and watched it and saw the embarrassing moment of a grown man with a beard handing him a present whilst grovelling as to how wonderful the guitar man and his wife is.
@@deepindercheema4917 Oh!!! Absolutely thanks for explaining I felt the same way!!!!!!
"David, what happened to your hair from when you first joined Floyd, it was kind of a poofy hair dew of a model, then it went to a long stringy/greasy hippie look?"
Painful for me.
Why is that?
we meet again 144p
Gilmour, one of my favourite guitarists. But, what a bore. Wouldn't like to go for a drink with him, I'd fall asleep.
I'm sure you are hell'a exciting and always have something interesting to say, don't you?
@@lowandodor1150 Indeed. Shame you don't know me, you'd get to hear it.
@@greegm3304 Invite me over then, i am a good listener!
Not surprising he can’t write lyrics.
Like getting blood out of a stone making him talk.
On the flip side. Roger can’t shut the fuck up
How are your lyrics? Where can we see your work?
Rick Allen Dave said this himself. Don't be so protective and don't make any idols
@@what2521 David himself said in an interview on YT that he wasn't unfortunately as inspired with lyrics than with music.
@@mariececile3973 so agree with him there, it was always the music for me in the early Floyd, although I love Set the Controls.. and ECHOES lyrics. Cheers 🌛
Sadly, these two are getting back together to support the bankster war in Ukraine.
Proper legend
