Words matter. These are the best Pink Floyd Quotes from famous people such as Jean-Marc Vallee, Diego Luna, Corey Feldman, Shavo Odadjian, M. Shadows, and they’re great for sharing with your friends.
I have two sons, and at 16, they were into Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, and a lot of British rock.
My dad was a theater designer, and I spent a lot of time hanging around the dressing room listening to whatever the actors were listening to, which is where I heard Pink Floyd for the first time.
On the musical side, I always wanted to kind of carry on Pink Floyd’s sound. You know, Pink Floyd always had such an original, creative and masterful sound, but there are no new albums. My thought was that there’s a way to keep their sound alive.
When I listen to a band like Pink Floyd, I don’t know the names of the individual songs, I know the full albums. That’s what we want for our albums.
I listen to a lot of Pink Floyd, the Doors, Elton John, Sabbath, Metallica, GN’R, Megadeth – just classic rock, classic metal stuff.
I like Aruna Sairam and Pink Floyd.
The first songs I learned was ‘Crazy’ by Patsy Cline and ‘At Last’ by Etta James. I had been growing up with the Beatles, Pink Floyd, great bands.
The Weezer ‘Blue’ Album is a classic. I think My Morning Jacket’s ‘Circuital’ is a great album to have. Any Led Zeppelin album. Pink Floyd ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon’ or ‘Animals.’ I always catch myself at concerts being like, ‘Oh, I just stared at the drummer for 15 straight minutes.’ I study them.
Generally speaking, I like all music, but Pink Floyd and Muse are my favorite bands.
As teenagers, we used to listen to entire Rush albums, entire Pink Floyd albums and shut down the lights and it was great.
Well, I love Pink Floyd, so I wouldn’t be offended by it. I only intentionally robbed them three or four times.
When punk came along, I found my generation’s music. I grew up listening to the Beatles and the Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd, ’cause that was what got played in the house. But when I first saw the Stranglers, I thought, ‘This is it.’
There are so many ingredients that are contained in ‘The Wall’ that were not necessarily contained in other Pink Floyd records, particularly following on from ‘Animals,’ which was very spare and sparse. Production on it was much more massive, the complexity of the recording was much more intense.
I guess I’ve never been introduced properly to Pink Floyd. I know they’re great, don’t get me wrong. Excellent, excellent musicians; great band; awesome harmony; great song writers; I just don’t know anything besides, I guess, the popular songs on the radio.
The expectation on me as a solo artist is very different to the audience’s expectation of a Pink Floyd show.
Well, I am David Gilmour, the voice and guitar of Pink Floyd. I have been since I was 21.
You’d have to be daft as a brush to say you didn’t like Pink Floyd.
There was always music in my house when I was a kid. On Saturday mornings, my mother would clean house to 45s blaring out the songs of Neil Diamond, The Doors, Pink Floyd, Cat Stevens, Harry Chapin.
I am a big Pink Floyd fan. That is where a lot of the concept lyrics come from.
I take inspiration from so many places. I think, more than anything, it would have to be the music made by others that I’ve then fallen in love with, whether it’s Madonna, Blood Orange, Fleetwood Mac, or Pink Floyd!
I was 14, and I fell in love with Pink Floyd.
One of my first records that I heard was ‘Wish You Were Here’ by Pink Floyd.
The first time I performed onstage was at church. Then I formed a rock cover band – Pink Floyd and Joan Jett. We’d play at birthday parties, since it wasn’t exactly church material.
The reason I got into music was obviously because of bands like The Beatles and Pink Floyd, things like that.
Every day, I hear a song and I think, ‘This would be great to cover on Glee.’ I like Led Zeppelin, of course, and Pink Floyd, Alice in Chains.
My experience with playing in odd time signatures was progressive rock and learning King Crimson songs as a kid coming up and maybe learning Pink Floyd, ‘Money,’ that kind of thing.
I don’t know, when I was a kid, when I would see shows that changed my life, I would go to see shows where there was my mother taking us to see classic rock concerts, like Zeppelin, or when I saw Pink Floyd or when I saw, you know, when I was a little older, and I saw Nine Inch Nails, and I saw The Cure.
If you look in my CD case, you’ll see it’s Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, now I can’t think of anyone else, but all that stuff.
Pink Floyd is like a marriage that’s on a permanent trial separation.
In the end, my children put me on to Pink Floyd when they were teenagers.
I’ve always employed a melodic style with my leads, placing strong emphasis on infusing romantic sensibilities into what I’m trying to say. Those big, epic melodies come from influences like Pink Floyd, Journey, Marillion… bands that have these guitar parts that are just soaring!
I don’t want to be a full-time member of Pink Floyd all my life.
I got my influences from ’70s bands – Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, blah blah blah. When I was growing up, we had all these crazy bands on the Top 40. Today, if Pink Floyd released ‘Money,’ it wouldn’t even get played.
When we got quite big and were generating a lot of money through the arenas, we became quite a big thing, and a lot of managers appeared, and it became a big machine, like we were in Pink Floyd or something, and I don’t think we were into that. We didn’t really compromise.
That’s what bands like Pink Floyd and bands like Rush and even the Metallica of this world have, which is long, ambitious songs that pull in all different directions.
