James Blast wrote:okay, my turn first Mr. 'Foreigns' -
take a very precious album you hold dear that delivers a new experience every time you play it... k?

then imagine a band you hate having a go at covering it

I have more problems with tribute bands that are trying ever so hard to bring the real deal not even a real band can recreate something they written before, everything evolves, even them. (okey except for the Cure, trilogy was ace ) I hear the Roger Waters Tour is really good, but you will argee it is not The Pink Floyd.

No. It isn't. But you will agree that Roger Waters was key to making The Pink Floyd what they were.

Although he trots out good versions of Floyd stuff (I saw him in Budapest on his tour), he can't do it all himself.
His band are good. But not that good.

Most are sh!te but some are passable & one or two are actually better than the originals..

Go away and think about what you just said.

Repeat after me,

no-one does a Cure song better than the Cure...

Next life then.

i think as you i got not much to do so i wasted my time on pointless discus. and btw. I'm checking people reactions. yeah i know, it's stupid checking this on threads that is more about emotions/feelings than everything else.

@ CureBoi: so you say that Mr Waters can do everything by his own, so what about this small band form west Yorkshire? ok there voice of the band left but i'm afraid that many of old fans hate this incarnation.

& you are quite right.

You're wrong about Comfortably Numb though Steve. The Sisters made it EVEN BETTER

The Cure are pretty crap at covers tbh.

Pink Floyd is good but I discovered that most people giving me lectures about what THEY think *I* have to like or 'you are not into music at all' are mostly 40-something-going-to-85.

Pink Floyd (note not-die-hard-fanboi-spelling) are absolutely great, but I got the new Porcupine Tree 'The Incident' today and god, is that powerful! The Pink Floyd allusions are all on there, inches thick, but they took that sound and juggled with it and took it BEYOND.

Still when I hear TDSOTM or in my case 'The Wall' I am thinking 'man, in THOSE days they ought to have been really progressive and they even might have shaken a lot of people'.

But I am today more impressed with what PT do instead of what Pink Floyd did a couple (!) of years ago. Maybe because I was born in the seventies instead of spending my twenties in it, I dunno.

I have a severe disgust for people who let me choose between the Beatles and the Stones, for example. I meet them a lot, because most people I meet know I am a musician, so they address me after their 20th pint and ask 'hey, rockstar, who'd'yafink is da best band EVER? The Beatles or the Stones?' I answer: 'Neither, they are both crap'. They answer: 'ah, kid, you know nothing about music'. Me: 'I don't need to know, I PLAY it'.

Just to say, some bands are very important for people because they were a revelation in their time.

I have the same with 16-years-old talking about 'Kill 'em All', or 'Raining Blood'. And I go "Hey, what are YOU talking about, smartass, you weren't even born yet!".

Then again, everyone has a right at an opinion.

And covers are, most of the time, a tribute to this or that band. You don't have to like it of course, but you should be proud that the younger generation still think a band of your generation is still popular enough to cover a song of...

fact.
but on the other hand I wonder why a bind like FL would want to cover Pink Floyd, one song oke why not, but an entire album?
it comes over very cheap to me, it isn't exactly a bold move and it is not like they are trying to get into a totally different audience. to make a reggae cover, or a babysounds cover, or a blackmetal cover... it might be even funny and interesting. but I can't see what FL can add.

that is the only reason why they should or should not, not because it is sacred

Maybe... they... REALLY...like... Pink Floyd?

I'm so upset, I'm going to bed till 2010

s**t happens. Unfortunately. Chill James. There will be plenty more warm nights to make crop circles in Wiltshire.

Everyone's right, of course.
It is a good testament to how much feeling some music can evoke in folks though.
@Iz.
You're not wrong about The Incident.
I haven't heard that much Pink Floyd come out of PT since Voyage 34 (surprised they never got hauled up in court for that one tbh).

and Breathe...

The girlfriend's brother played this to me, synching it with the end of 2001, very atmospheric!

I'm reluctant to see this happen, because I know how a cover can sabotage a good song - and this particular item is more than a song!

Fingers crossed they don't utterly screw it.

they didn't screw it, they totally fucked it up, eat it, sicked it up and did the whole 2G1C routine with it

I shall hunt them down and stab them

I see good spirits, I see bad spirits
