Yep, mainly from me! 8) It's in the way they tell 'em, I guess. :)

That would be quite intresting, though Syd's would be even better.

What about that rubbishy film The Cell, being able to actually explore the mind of Roger would be even better than becoming him.

I really can't choose. I admire Dave, because he's a good guitarplayer, but I also like Roger, because he's a real good lyricist. Can't choose.

David Gilmour

Definitely want to be David.He always looks so layed back.I'm sure
he was the one sought after by all the "chicks" in the 70's...I think
he kept himself the fittest in those days.He was and still is one of the best
guitarist in Rock History.

David....because he played "the" instrument that expressed more clearly all the feeling the songs could have. 8)

Rick.... .. ..because he was the lynchpin of the band in the early days and i would love to have the experience of being rick for one of those early shows especially during something like SFOS or STCFTHOTS,could you imagine it! brilliant light show going on all around you and your sound effects,organ and control of the tape effects are creating the really unique
and trippy pyschedelic vibe that everyone is getting off on,what a buzz!
Also rick was there from the start and would have seen so much and up to the/and including the animals period there were no really serious tensions in the band, i dont know if i would have wanted to be rick during the whole bust up with roger period but then again you would get to sample grade A columbian. :lol: (only kiddin!)

i love roger to bits...but i wouldn't want to be as depressed and dark as he has been...(even tho he is a genius)
David seems more at peace with the world and is a fantastic guitarist...so have to go with David.

Imagine being Dave Gilmour:
Rise and shine, breakfast, newspapers, giong to Astoria boat studio for some informal jamming with Paul McCartney, taking a walk through London or a helicopter spin to France, lunch in Paris, Barcelona or Rome, rehearsals for a gig, evening gig at Earls Court, coming home and a bath in a cash!
