Dave Gilmour is, IMNSHO, one of the most underrated rock guitarists out there, because his style is so understated. Listen to the solo in Pigs, from Animals...what he does with one note, holding it out while the song changes and evolves around it, is more moving and colorful than what any platoon of 80s shred-meisters did with eight fingers and eight million notes. Gilmour is one of the best.

That said, he's a Socialist tool who needs to STFU and stick to playing guitar. His son is evidently an even bigger dipsh** who needs to spend a year or so getting buggered in prison to fully appreciate the freedom brave Britons fought and died to protect.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

"That said, he's a Socialist tool who needs to STFU and stick to playing guitar."

I'm not aware of (David) Gilmour being too politically outspoken...Waters, yes, but Gilmour? I'm not saying he isn't but it's not something that I've heard of or noticed. I do know he does a lot of low profile charity work, and has been pretty generous with his own money and time.

That said, sounds like his son is worthy of this Pink Floyd cover.

The “Live in Gdansk” DVD is simply awesome, and it was the perfect swan song for Rick Wright, one last time to hear Gilmour and Wright singing “Echoes”.

it's true -- what he does with the simplest melodies and chords is sublime. It defies description at the moment, how such simple by-the-book blues can be played so straight with such great effect. It should be understood that context is everything, and so the rest of the band gets credit too -- the sum of the parts is definitely greater than the whole.

Richard Wright was a very understated, very powerful player as well. They all were. That's why they could gross a half a billion dollars on a tour - and that's the other thing -- Waters really understands show business.
