That was awesome!  Love the Floyd, of course, and that was a most excellent application of kazoo :)

I'm always impressed by these one-man-bands.  I was out with my wife recently, and we saw some guy doing this in a bar/lounge.  He was using some electronic pads with his feet for the drums, playing guitar and singing.  He also had a capo clipped on the headstock, and was using the handle of it to play keyboard bass!  :o

I lack any and all coordination that would be necessary to pull something like that off.

Amazing ;D. This is a guy who made good use of his alone time ;D

Thank you, Nofi, I feel untalented now. You're really good at making me feel like that.  :mrgreen:

Awesome version of an awesome song. I'm no Floydist by any means (I find The Wall largely unbearably pretentious), but this was one of their great moments. And it doesn't go "pling-pling-pling" all the time either if I may echo a sentiment.  8)

The Wall IS unbearably pretentious, with the exception of a few good pop songs.

I'm a Wish You Were Here guy myself. Probably my Germanic soul because that album had a lot of krautrock/ambient music influence on it. I would have never admitted it at the time (Krautrock was uncool in Germany!), but I hear it distinctly today, Pink Floyd just bloozed it up a lot, making it sound warmer. Gilmour, though he hardly ever plays or played a 12 bar, is one of the great Brit blooze guitarists.

Very cool - my son, who's doing Damage/Eclipse in his set is searching for a kazoo as we speak.

BTW, The Thin Ice on The Wall one of the most sinister songs ever put to vinyl...great lyrics and a really evil delivery.
Have Fun.  Be Nice.  Mean People Suck.

Comfortably Numb has one of my all time fave solos...
The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...
