the name of the band

Post by syd67ro »

I believe that 90% of the forum members and 90 % of the web sites will indicate that the name of the band came from those two obscure bluesmen:Pink Andersen and Floyd Council.Or whatever their name was.Even in that BBC Documentary about Syd,it is stated that.But,I read in an interview of Roger,that this theory is bulls*it.I don't remember his exact words.But it was something similar.So,my question is,what does Pink Floyd mean?Or,what exactly is Floyd ?Cause "pink" can be associated with Syd's era.

Check out that floyd over there, holding up the "no oil" sign and shouting things about cutting military spending. I wonder if he's washed his hair lately?

:shock:
Are those definitions for real? Ha-ha, I didn't even know that Floyd meant something, let alone all that!
Guess I'll start using that word more often, now...

I have heard about the blues players and all, but i recall once reading something about Waters amp brand being Pink Floyd Sound. I dunno probably a load of shit but i read that somewhere a while ago.
