Funny enough as much as I like Guy as a person he is one of the reasons I don´t like listening to 87 Roios. His playing during the early Echoes and Time is all over the place. It´s just waaaay too much and together with the stupid jumping percussions guy it really ruins those songs for me. Horrible mess. And those bass solos on Another Brick, Money and One Slip make me cringe. Technically probably brilliant but it´s got nothing to do with the "classic" Floyd sound.

Thankfully he already toned that down after 87 and in 94 he was much better. Also sounds brilliant on the current material of the Sacuerfuls.
