No! No! No!
Roger is the lead singer in this song.They just recorded him at his normal pitch and then,through studio trickery, raised his voice up an octave or two so that it sounded like he could reach higher notes. Or so it was explained to me in the Pink Floyd book "Echoes:The Stories behind the Pink Floyd Songs". Dave sings in the background.

Don't believe everything you read. I'm surprised by the amount of fans that still can't tell Dave's voice from Roger's. It's VERY OBVIOUS that's Dave. Listen to Money & then listen to Welcome to the Machine. VERY OBVIOUS! Dave is the primary voice you hear on this song even though they are both singing. I don't care what been said in books, on other forums, etc...

It is very clearly David Gilmour singing it for the majority of the song. Sounds like he is doing the lower harmony double tracked as well. On some of the higher notes, sounds like Roger joins in on lines like "it's alright we know where you've been"... perhaps assuming the role of "the machine" or something mad like that. I can tell by the "shape" of the sounds coming out of their mouths.

The really high higher parts are Roger and the rest are David, in my opinion. I like his singing on this song. I think it sounds great!Johnny Rotten wrote:If it really is david gilmour it is the worst singing I have ever heard from him in studio... it doesnt suit for him. I hear Dave on the lower voice but that ear scratching high pitch vocals are so Roger..

Yeh...it is most definately Dave. I mean...in concert and off, to me, his voice is unmistakeable...
