Re: David Gilmour - Self Titled Album David Gilmour
I'll be honest, I'm not as much of a fan of this album as most here seem to be - if I'm going to go Gilmour solo record, I'm far more likely to reach for On an Island or About Face - but that doesn't by any means mean I don't like it. There are a lot of really good cuts on this album. There's No Way Out of Here was a personal favourite of mine for some time, and a lot of Side 2 is honestly pretty fantastic (even if Gilmour did reuse Raise My Rent for What Do You Want From Me).
On the poll I gave it a 4, but it's probably closer to a 3.5 for me.

Are you sure? You'd still get The Wall as a Roger solo triple album - no guitar solos, but I'm sure there'd be lots of corny saxophone.space triangle wrote: ↑Wed Aug 12, 2020 9:52 amAnd we would get 'A Momentary Lapse Of Division Bell' a new Pink Floyd album already in 1979.

(All reissues of Floyd albums with non-Dick Parry saxophone should replace them with Dick Parry saxophone. ASAP.)

No, we would have a one double album to be called ' The Pros and Cons of building The Wall'. Roger would hire Clapton and Beck and David’s solos wouldn’t be missed very much.ZiggyZipgun wrote: ↑Thu Aug 13, 2020 3:00 amAre you sure?

I think Clapton was too busy in '78/79 to be making drunken agreements that everyone around him, including his manager, advised against.space triangle wrote: ↑Thu Aug 13, 2020 12:44 pmRoger would hire Clapton and Beck and David’s solos wouldn’t be missed very much.
Beck had time on his hands, and could've done a great job, but I think it's more likely that Bob Ezrin and Michael Kamen would have just brought Steve Hunter and/or Dick Wagner along, since they used them for everything else. A good example is "Sloe Gin", which Ezrin and Kamen wrote and recorded right before starting work on The Wall.

5. It sounds more like what I think of as "Pink Floyd" than Animals or anything that came after it. I wouldn't change anything about it, other than I wish Rick had played on it.
