the wall (official thread)

[SickOfStars]

dug it out of retirement and have been spinning it a lot these days. one of the better albums I've heard. the sketches make for good avatars. discuss.

[Brokenhill]

Amazing album, artist, and movie.

[Brokenhill]

Mother is my favorite on the first half, and Comfortably Numb my favorite on the second half.

And both "In The Flesh" are just amazing.

[SickOfStars]

I like the whole thing, but I'm actually a sucker for "The Trial". I love theatricality (word?)

[CellarGhosts]

As soon as I hit prestitigous, I'm breaking out the talking anus judge av hahaha...
Either that or the Iron Eagle thing from the "Goodbye Blue Sky" sequence.
That'd be pretty cool...

But anyway, I have no qualms expressing my love for this album. I know that Pink Floyd and such bands are supposed to be punk's mortal enemy, but I could really care less. The music is good, so I enjoy it.

I think that Comfortably Numb has two of the greatest guitar solos ever. The first one captures Pink's floating, drug-induced state of bliss/childhood reminiscence perfectly, and the second one/outro solo suits the whole transistion into his state of madness/mania very nicely.

Yeah hahaha..I'm kind of a nerd about this album. I used to listen to it all the time several years ago haha. Forgive the nerdiness? haha thanks.

[Smash Adams]

If you don't eat yer meat you can't have any pudding

[Brokenhill]

Well yea, I don't dislike any song on it...from beginning to end im in awe.

The Trial is fantastic.

...Solo #2 on Confortably Numb, is my all time favorite guitar solo ever...

[SickOfStars]

Well yea, I don't dislike any song on it...from beginning to end im in awe.

and I like the trial, but more when im watching the ckip from the movie...because that song doesn't ahve any guitar or barely any drums.

Dont get me wrong, that is a really great song.

I love the fact that it's orchestral. It really adds to its nature.

This is the best album in history to be nerdiness about. I overanalyze it sooooo much.

It gives it an edge...it gives it that one of kind feel when you listen to it.

That is whats so great about the whole expiremental/pyschedelic rock thing; there are no limits.

..I was abtou to say, no one should be ashamed for loving this album.

Its completely landmark.

[Brokenhill]

...I often think about how awsome it would be, if I was born in '60 and being able to see these guys surface and going to a concert or somthing...

Like I was born in the wrong time period lol.

[CellarGhosts]

It's an amazing solo, indeed.

Haha, as do I. I actually finished writing a full-length spoof of this beast some months ago haha. It took me roughly nine months. I could post a link, if anyone is interested....
(And FYI, it's lyrics only. I didn't do an actual recording thing haha. That would kill me...)

Anyway, yes, this is probably one of my favorite albums ever. I love the Trial to no end, how everything leads up to that point, and it just gets more theatrical and moodier as it progresses, until the riff from "Another Brick in the Wall" is reprised behind the judge's verdict, the chorus of vocals shouting "tear down the wall!!" and then the sound of the wall falling...and finally, the peaceful, lovely placidness of the closing song, Outside the Wall.

Wow...I think I'm going to go listen to this album now. I hanen't actually done so in some time now...

I'm on "Thin Ice," looks like I'm already ahead of you!!!

I love the verdict. The recurring theme riff and the judge's words themselves are so lumbering and intimidating.

Also: LOL at Worm saying Pink's actions fill him "with the urge to defecate" and the schoolmaster then yelling "go ahead judge, shit on him!" (not in the movie version)

[Brokenhill]

I just listened to this album like last week...about 4 different times...on the PC and falling asleep...

Thin Ice, eh? Sorry for my stupidity here, but are you saying you fond the spoof already and are reading it...or you're writing your own spoof and up to that point...or...what? hahaha I'm slow...

Anyway, yes, the final verdict is huge.

Hahahaha, yes that part is great. I do love the part where he's like "hey judge, shit on him!"
I remember the first time I ever listened to the album, on the Trial, I thought that he said "They must've taken my blue balls away!" (they mut've taken my marbles away) hahaha I was like..."okaaayy...." haha

Oh, and a quick question: Which do you prefer between the theatrical and album versions of "Outside the Wall"? My vote's for the theatrical version, all the way actually.

and I just meant I had already begun my daily ritual of listening to it the whole way through and was already on the second track.
definitely the theatrical version.

However, it's album version for everything else. The theatrical version of "Stop" annoys me to no end because the volume's ridiculously low as he's mumbling to himself in the bathroom stall and then all of a sudden The Trial starts at normal volume.

Ohhhh, I gotcha. Cool deal.

And yes, I do agree about "Stop" in the film. Plus, I like how the album version, at the end of "Waiting For the Worms" it's just "stop!" but the movie is "stoooooooooooooooooooooooooooppppp pppppp!!!!!!!" you know? haha yeah...but I still do prefer the movie version of Outside the Wall. (Plus I love how at the very end there that kid picks up the molotov and sniffs it haha)

[Brokenhill]

...I dont see how you could make a parody of such an album like this 1.

Its almost disrespectful.

[SickOfStars]

you use '***' a lot.

major loss of points.

[Brokenhill]

huh? who?

[Tyler Revolution]

Amazing album. Probably my 2nd, 3rd, or 4th favorite (it changes often) from the Floyd. Comfortably Numb is my favorite song by them, and one of my favorites of all time.

Yea completely astonishing album...

But when you compare it to Wish You Were Here and Dark Side of the Moon...idk its hard to decide which one is the better...

I go back and forth between Dark Side and The Wall being in first...then Wish You Were Here comes in 3rd for me...

[CellarGhosts]

Sorry about that. I actually hadn't read over that whole thing in a while, and forgot all about that. Everything in that story is just that though, so hopefully nothing was taken offensively, as it was not meant to be. Come to think of it, I'm just gonna delte the link to that thing from this thread. Sorry again about that. No disrepect or anything of the sort intended...

Dark Side of the Moon is the best thing they ever created. It's incredible how well that album flows, it's like no other. It probably has number 1 spot at all time, and then The Wall, Wish You Were Here, and Meddle battle it out for the next three spots.

If you ever get the chance to buy or download the making of Dark Side, do it, it's an awesome video.

the best thing sartre wrote by far

Haha, I got ya.

[CellarGhosts]

I'm listening to "Nobody Home" right now. Definatley one of my favorite songs on "the Wall."
That sequence in the film is pretty cool as well, but I'd say my favorite part is probably "Goodbye Blue Sky."

Word....they did a really great jobwith their animations...althought not entirely appealing, they were very unique.

Overall tho....I really liek the part in the movie when he is at the park...tryign to hold that stranger's hand, and even more so, when he puts the bullet on the tracks, and watches the faceless people pass by... its so awsome.

[SickOfStars]

Nobody Home is such a great song. It conveys so much, yet all it states is the things he has.

True.

Those are good parts as well. I also quite like the part where he's in the hotel pool during "the Thin Ice" and the water is running red, supposedly with blood. Pretty cool part.

And although I think it's been mentioned already, the trial scene is great. I love how it just builds up into the end, with the wall finally coming down, and then the utter beauty/calm that follows with "Outside the Wall."

Oh, and here's some of my over-analyzing:

When the children are picking up the bricks at the end, carrying them around, and placing them in the bins of their toy trucks, I always looked at that as being symbolic of them beginning to create/construct their own personal "walls" that will follow them later into life....

[Brokenhill]

Nobody Home is such a great song. It conveys so much, yet all it states is the things he has.



I noticed that too...its so great.

almost creepy though when you listen to it.

[SickOfStars]

http://www.thewallanalysis.com

a little outdated, but quite cool.

your interpretation of "outside of the wall" is in there, Chris

[CellarGhosts]

Cool post. And my interpretation is in there? Nice, haha

(actually, the name's Chris haha, not to sound like a prude or anything haha.
But I do get called Charlie alot on here.)

Speaking of all this Wall album/Wall movie stuff, I had an idea that it'd be pretty cool if the Larry Arms had their own indie/short-film made to accompany "the Greatest Story Ever Told"

I think it'd be pretty sweet, anyway...

[Brokenhill]

http://www.yourprops.com/view_items.php?movie=Pink+Floyd+The +Wall




I am so jealous...

[CellarGhosts]

I forgot how good of a song "When the Tigers Broke Free" is.

I know it's not on the actual album "the Wall" but it is in the movie, haha, so I guess it still counts...

[Brokenhill]

I saw the footage of "Hey You" that was supposed to be inserted into the movie...its pretty sweet.

[CellarGhosts]

I saw the footage of "Hey You" that was supposed to be inserted into the movie...its pretty sweet.
Oh, yeah, I've seen that before too, on the Wall special features. Isn't it more footage of the kids at the concert/rioting/"rag doll" Pink?

I dunno...its been a while since I've seen it, so I'm not all that sure...

[Brokenhill]

Yea I think..I dont remember either, I saw it last June on vacation, looked it up on YouTube

[CellarGhosts]

Ah, I see.

I really sort of wish that Pink Floyd would reunite...all the feuding going on between Roger and David...it just seems immature to me.

But nonetheless, still a really great band...btw, did anyone hear Gilmours' solo album, On An Island? I've not heard one song off it, but I've been interested for a while now...

[Brokenhill]

...All good things must come to an end.

[SickOfStars]

They won't be getting back together, but last I heard the feud was reconciled.

[CellarGhosts]

...All good things must come to an end.
Sad, but true.

They won't be getting back together, but last I heard the feud was reconciled.
Ah, that's good at least. A reunion would be cool, but I guess its not happening. Ah well...
But anyway...

I think that "Vera" is one of my new favorite bits on the album. Short, but very sweet.

[Brokenhill]

I love "Bring The Boys Back Home" The whole little symphony thing is awsome.

[CellarGhosts]

Ah yes, "Bring the Boys Back Home" coupled with "Vera" is great. The symphonic part to it is really cool as well.

[avengedtbs]

who listens to pink floyd? its not like they sold THAT many records or anything

[Brokenhill]

pshh..naw...only a couple billion.

[avengedtbs]

that was my sarcastic comment of the day lol

[Brokenhill]

I know. =P

[avengedtbs]

im feeling a reunion within the next 2 years

[avengedtbs]

and when i say a reunion, im not talking one show at some festival...i mean a full international stadium tour

[Brokenhill]

Naw I dont see it happenin.

[avengedtbs]

gut feeling

[Tyler Revolution]

pshh..naw...only a couple billion.

I know you were probably kidding, but they didn't sell that many. They have sold millions, though. The only two bands/artist to sell over a billion records is The Beatles and Elvis.

[Tyler Revolution]

Also, I don't see a reunion tour ever happening, but it would awesome.

[Brokenhill]

I know you were probably kidding, but they didn't sell that many. They have sold millions, though. The only two bands/artist to sell over a billion records is The Beatles and Elvis.


Lol, yea I knew it wasn't that high...

But that would be pretty insane.

[HeyCoffeeEyes]

Dark Side of the Moon > The Wall

[SickOfStars]

Dark Side of the Moon > The Wall

truth, but I had been bumping a ton of the wall lately and decided to see if anyone would like to nerd-out with me about it.

[Brokenhill]

I still think Dark Side and The Wall are tied...

I like to sway to The Wall more because of it's length, and because it has more singing and lyrics...

Idk, its hard to decide.

[SickOfStars]

Dark Side of the Moon has just as many if not more redeeming qualities.

1. probably the most chill piece of music you'll ever listen to

2. supposedly more 'complex' music-wise (haven't really overanalyzed this yet)

3. band's worldwide breakthrough album

4. features more contribution from other members of the band (as opposed to Waters masturbating to the idea of himself as the 'tortured artist.')

oddly enough, I like Dark Side and The Wall more than any other Pink Floyd works, but neither of them contain my favorite Floyd song (that would go to 'Have a Cigar')

[Brokenhill]

I love Have A Cigar...but their other song's lyrics have more of a meaning...

So as much as that is a great song, it isn't my favorite.

[SickOfStars]

I love Have A Cigar...but their other song's lyrics have more of a meaning...

So as much as that is a great song, it isn't my favorite.

The lyrical focus is why there are a lot of Floydians (my dad included) that are still a little wary of the wall. Pink Floyd wasn't really about lyrics. Yes, there'd be themes in their lyrics, but they were mostly about their musical content. The Wall was a pretty big shift to most fans of the day (though with the power of hindsight and being born after the whole debacle, I can see a slow progression towards more lyric-based music).

[Brokenhill]

Right...it was a big turn from Wish You Were Here and Dark Side of the Moon...

but I love all the lyrics throughout Dark Side...from start to finish...

[we are cured]

the concept of the wall is amazing. i have a live bootleg dvd from 1980, where they actually build a wall on stage. it's pretty sick.

[Brokenhill]

^ Now your just makin me jealous =[

[we are cured]

sorry...but this thread actually made me want to watch it. if my computer didn't suck i'd up it for you.

[Brokenhill]

Haha no biggy...

sometimes I just wish I was born in 1963...

[icyeyes26]

im pretty content in the year i was born

[SickOfStars]

sorry...but this thread actually made me want to watch it. if my computer didn't suck i'd up it for you.

just curious, how do they go about performing 'The Trial'?

Is it just pre-recorded, or is there an actual orchestra?

Also, do they bring out the props when the respective characters "testify"?

Good points. Very true.

Very good chillout album, plus, it syncs up to the Wizard Of Oz (yes, a friend and I actually tried this It works pretty well.)

Can't wait till I get an oficial copy of the movie for Christmas!

I already have it, I just gotta wait to open it...

I have yet to see a full uncut version of the movie.

I've seen the tv edition 4 times.

I also hope they have Hey You either inserted in, or in the bonus features/scenes.

[SickOfStars]

*bumpety mcbump!*

[Brokenhill]

I was waiting for something epic.

[Brokenhill]

Oh yea i've totally decided Floyd album order.

1. The Wall
2. Dark Side of the Moon
3. Wish You Were Here
4. Animals

The album is epic enough.

So nevermind, your time has past.

[SickOfStars]

The Trial is probably my favorite scene in that flick... I'm pretty much obsessed with Scarfe's art/animation (even though I'm pretty sure he just directed the animation)

[Brokenhill]

He drew out the actual pictures. Then he handed them to a team of animators or whatever that put them into motion.

[SickOfStars]

He drew out the actual pictures. Then he handed them to a team of animators or whatever that put them into motion.

yeah. I remember on the extra features documentary on the dvd it took him forever to find the right animators because people "kept drawing [his] characters with big disney eyes"

[Brokenhill]

I don't remember that part, I watched the doc. just last week I think.

You may be talking about the commentary, I haven't seen that yet.

[SickOfStars]

I don't remember that part, I watched the doc. just last week I think.

You may be talking about the commentary, I haven't seen that yet.

maybe, but I'm pretty sure I could never stand to watch a movie with commentary over it. I think there were two shorter doc.s on mine. Do you have the anniversary edition DVD? (really slim case with a slip over it?)

[Brokenhill]

Yea 25th edition.

The art is textured to where you can feel the bricks, and the clear slip over has "The Wall" in red...

[SickOfStars]

Yea 25th edition.

okay, odd. I'll have to watch this stuff again sometime, because I definitely remember watching scarfe say it himself in interview format. maybe it was the "behind the wall" thing I saw on youtube.

[Brokenhill]

Well maybe I went to the bathroom during that part.

Or didn't clearly hear it because of his accent.

[SickOfStars]

Well maybe I wen tto the bathroom during that part.

Or didn't clearly hear it because of his accent.

haha, maybe. t'is quite thick

[theguilt engine]

this whole record is ridiculous. "Hey You" is definitely one of my favorite PF songs.

[Brokenhill]

Look Mummy, there's an aeroplane up in the sky...

[TachyonEvan]

It used to be my favorite album.

[Brokenhill]

If I ever have a different favorite album, I have no idea what it'd be...

[x togepi x]

probably a shitty one since this one sucks.

[TachyonEvan]

It's still my favorite PF album. It's just so fucking good.

yeah but you have terrible taste/like bands that release mostly filler, so it would make sense that this is your favorite floyd album.

After 4 years, my enjoyment of 'The Wall' has not waned by even a little bit. I enjoy more now, compared to when I first got into it.

Blasphemy I know, but the Wall is my least favorite Pink Floyd record.

Yeah you were really "minding your own business" when you decided that gay people were subhumans and women should be your servants...oh and when you quoted me for no reason to talk about a shitty album.

The fact that Togepi went as far to grab a DIFFERENT GIF just proves how dedicated he is to salting the snail. I applaud the effort.

he's cooled it on the gay bashing, but he's said in the past that he thinks the bible thinks women should be submissive.

No no no no no.

A couple years ago I said some things which were completely inappropriate, but have since then recognized fault/apologized to Togepi.

Since yes, I believe the Bible to be truth, I view homosexuality as a sin (but not as a "greater" sin or anything like that), and in certain circumstances the role of women is under the male. It's not what I think the Bible "thinks", it's what the Bible clearly states.

Togepi has and always will twist my words.

Anyway...lets get back to what this thread is intended for.

This is bullshit. You have never apologized for anything.

and anytime you're in a thread that homosexuality gets brought up, you go off about it. so no, i'm not "twisting words". the bible doesn't clearly state anything, which you'd know if you knew anything about your religion/the nature of reading a text.

You're a child of the 50s and the world will be a better place when you don't exist in a form where people think you're anything but crazy.

http://i38.tinypic.com/1jx0lj.gif

[Brokenhill]

And when is this?
In the Church. They can't teach/have authority over a male. There's multiple verses which talk about it. However, they still have their role, they still play a vital part in the family/congregation...they just do it in a different way.

I did when replying to you in the Theology thread. You must have skimmed past it. If you type in "sorry" or "apologize" i'm sure you could find it.

I used to, but for a while now i've only been discussing such things in the appropriate threads.

Me saying "I recognize homosexuality as a sin", and then you going and telling people "AFG HATES ****" is twisting words.

I know how to approach the scriptures, I know that you have to take into consideration society at the time of the occurence in the Bible.

If you want to continue this, just copy the quote and transfer it to the Theology thread. If you don't want to do that, then don't reply in the first place.

one "Sorry" while ranting that it's a sin isn't exactly an apology you dumb fuck.

you still point out that it's wrong for no fucking reason. well, besides your blatant homophobia.

It's the same thing. You're not tolerant of homosexuality. I just said you're anti gay, because you are. You focus on that sin but i don't see you going into threads when people are lying about shit or bragging about cheating or having promiscuous sex and talking about how those are sins.

but shit, mention gay rights, and you're all over it.

Unless you have only just skimmed over every single reply in the other thread, then you know that i've given like 3 different reasons why it's not right.

It isn't the same thing.
No I don't go into threads with lying and talk about that because I don't just go into any thread and do that with any sin. Like usual, you're the one who brought it up in this thread. Out of the 100 discussions over it i've had on this site, I only brought it up 2, maybe 3 times and that was years ago.

The salt that he's using correlates to the ignore button that you should be using on me because you complain so much. He saw a snail...he's doing something about it. Why don't you?

You don't "give reasons" you mindlessly repeat things your daddy told you. Nothing you ever say is at all worthwhile or responsive to anyone who calls you out.

oh so you like sin?

dude. I never accused you of "bringing it up", I accused you of ranting when it gets mentioned, because that's what you do. Plenty of people talk about plenty of fucked up shit on this website, hell, there's all sorts of topics about sin in the politics forum, yet you only choose to talk about it when you want to attack the homosexual community.

why post in just the "hey christians, jack me off for supposedly reading the bible thread" instead of some of the others?

I don't attack. I defend my beliefs. You attacked them.

Not just because it's grammatically incorrect, but because it's such a wonderful piece of music that it deserves it.

False. 'The Wall' has theee best writing/composition overall for any Pink Floyd album. It's almost flawless, in fact...in might be just that.

Now I can understand why a lot of people either don't like it or prefer other albums over it, mainly for the musical components, but still.

What's your favorite album then?

By Pink Floyd? Probably either Wish You Were Here or Dark Side of the Moon.

Overall? Either Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth or Remain In Light by Talking Heads.

I see...what all do you have?

[Theseventhson]

I have everything but A Saucerful of Secrets, Atom Heart Mother, More, Obscured By Clouds, and anything made after The Wall.

[Brokenhill]

So 7/14. Not bad.

'ASOS' and 'AHM' are pretty essential for a PF fan though, so try and get those at least.

[x togepi x]

hey guys, i'm going to make a blind assertion that the one pink floyd album that essentially everyone thinks is mediocre at best is the best because i'm a fucking moron.

You do realize organized religion (including the one you practice) is a social construct that was originated to lend validity to certain culture's morality, and has been used to solidify the status quo, perpetuating various inequities and maintaining hierarchy right?

The fact that you think (the judeo-christian bible is actually a very subjective thing with much interpretation) that it states that homosexuality is a sin (reading laviticus, it never explictly states that, simply that a man should not "lay" next to another. Does that delve into same sex relations, queer, transgendered people, actual intercourse, gender identity, etc.) and that women are to be subservient in certain situations and that, because you think it states that, it's right and the "word of god" is proof of what it continues to do and its purpose - to maintain western culture and is an integral cog in the social stratification process.

What I'm saying is, you accept an ideology of exclusion (Christians are right, those who go against its belief system are "deviant" and they are used as examples that the social reality of Christianity is right and that those going against it are wrong, those who don't accept god are wrong, etc. those adhering to other beliefs are wrong, etc. It's very exclusionary) and inequity.

It's very damaging. Religion is awful.
