Not sure about Nick though... I would have to agree with this. PF's music was as much about the sum of the parts as opposed to individual parts. The organ and keyboard work on the music is outstanding and identifies the PF sound as much as Gilmour's subtle phrasing.

I dont really have much of an opinion on Mason. It all seemed to work though.

I am going to go out on a limb and say while Waters was an incredible writer I think he was an average base player. I have "heard" that Gilmour actually wrote and played a lot of the bass lines. This could be wrong. I base my information on many a late night "discussions" with equally uninformed friends. :D Adult beverages where involved.]]> Opinions and Polls chalkoutline https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/pink-floyd-were-post-waters-albums-good-pf-music/paged/2/#post-344819 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/pink-floyd-were-post-waters-albums-good-pf-music/paged/2/#post-344703 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 22:02:45 +0000 Opinions and Polls rparker https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/pink-floyd-were-post-waters-albums-good-pf-music/paged/2/#post-344703 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/pink-floyd-were-post-waters-albums-good-pf-music/paged/2/#post-344698 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 21:37:24 +0000
Also, you can check out the Pink Floyd Echoes FAQ for lots of detailed info:

The author of this book also can't describe Richard Wright without referring to his "haunting chords" or a little drug problem he had. Other than snorting un Greece and playing haunting chords, I have little idea what he was about. He dives into Nick with about as much fevor. Auto racing, switched loyalties and some verbiage indicating that he wasn't that good a drummer was about all I retained about him. No, this book was about Barrett, Waters and Gilmour.

And speaking of Barrett, this author suggests that Gilmour was filling in for or playing on stage with the oft-stoned-too-much Barrett as early as the first album, and that subsequent efforts had very little Barrett involvement. Like someone said earlier in the thread, I wasn't there.]]> Opinions and Polls rparker https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/pink-floyd-were-post-waters-albums-good-pf-music/#post-344668 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/pink-floyd-were-post-waters-albums-good-pf-music/#post-344667 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 18:15:31 +0000

I think the tensions within Floyd helped them create the music. Waters lyrics and mindset helped fuel Gilmours solos and creativity. Unfortunately the rest of the band seem a bit interchangeable, but I wasn't there when they created their masterpieces so thats only how it seems.

Personally I don't think you can effectively compare a lyricist to a guitar player. The Wall was class, DSOTM was class!]]> Opinions and Polls Kroikey https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/pink-floyd-were-post-waters-albums-good-pf-music/#post-344665 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/pink-floyd-were-post-waters-albums-good-pf-music/#post-344630 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 01:29:19 +0000 Opinions and Polls Kevin72790 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/pink-floyd-were-post-waters-albums-good-pf-music/#post-344630 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/pink-floyd-were-post-waters-albums-good-pf-music/#post-344618 Wed, 16 Dec 2009 22:46:05 +0000
