David apparently didn't care for the lyrics. Guy's bass playing on the 1987-1989 and 1994 tours was nothing like Roger's. He "settled down" by the time David went out on his solo tour in 2006, also playing a more traditional bass model. Then, of course, doing all the early PF stuff with Nick's band will have influenced his playing further.
David Gilmour, guitarrista de Pink Floyd, habla con CNN sobre la canción que dedicaron a Ucrania - CNN Video I don’t hear any mention of '....performing the song live'.
Guy Pratt (Official) In answer to the snide 'It's not Pink Floyd' comments. Would they make an album and tour calling it Pink Floyd? Probably not. Does it make sense to do whatever is going to attract the most attention and raise the most money for this? Undoubtedly.
I can’t believe people here and on other social media are missing this point. Gilmour, by all accounts one of the most charitable folks out there, is using a platform bigger than his own name and one that he has been a part of since he was 21 for a great cause. How can this ever be a bad thing?
RE: ‘Have a Cigar’, don’t think I’ve heard that one. Gilmour was co- singing it on the live 75 versions.
Wasn't practiacal to take Roy Harper on tour just to sing one song, I guess. He prob wouldn't have wanted to anyway.
It's at the end of this clip, right around the 5 minute mark: He just says he won't rule it out. Nothing at all close to being a story, but he's just keeping the door open.
Harper's better at sounding sleazily dissolute than either Gilmour or Waters. (Sacrilegious claim coming up: he'd have done a more effective job of singing the first part of Dogs as well. I like Gilmour's voice a lot, but he's not especially convincing when trying to sound hard-nosed—see also: Money)
It really doesn’t. Someone who they’ve collectively played music with less than ten times in the last 40 years? I think it would’ve been the last thing they wanted.
Yeah, and you can hear why they hired Roy Harper to do the job... Back on topic, I'm starting to like the song. I mean, it doesn't sound like "Pink Floyd" (like probably dozens of their songs) but there are reasons for that: 1. There's an ukranian guest singer who sings in ukranian 2. The harmony is typical of eastern Europe 3. The arrangement is sparse with little to none embellishments. Obviously, High Hopes was a much better closer to their discography, but as long as they continue to release new material, that is not reggaeton, trap, hip hop or R&B, I'm happy.
I had to literally get away from the thread and stop reading when I saw some of the early posts. Some who recognize the value of what Nick, Dave & co. are doing still argue they're not "real." I don't know why some find the band name so sacrosanct that using the band's name in a cause like this should be verboten. Some additional explanation here. Apologies if it's already been posted...

Back on topic: I really like the new song. And except for the vocals, it really sounds like classic Pink Floyd, with typical drum fills from Nick and a very emotional solo from David. Of course, it's not the best Pink Floyd song ever, but a very nice effort.
