Band name - Pink Floyd

Post by Gregor »

The name of the band - Pink Floyd remains in the fog of misunderstandings and misleading associations. To solve this mystery, you need to focus not on what is officially known on this subject, which results from the definition of deliberately "introducing too easy conclusions" to amateurs, but to carefully filter the individual components of the band's name - Pink and Floyd. But first, the very interesting etymological and prehistoric origins of the band's name.

"The group was founded in spring 1965 in London, initially under the name Sigma-6. It was created by students of the architecture department of the London Polytechnical School: Roger Waters (guitar, vocals), Richard Wright (guitar, vocals), Nick Mason (drums), Clive Metcalf (bass guitar), Keith Noble (vocals) and Juliette Gale (vocals). Initially, the band was strongly influenced by the then popular Rytm'n'blues music, but then they did not shun musical experiments, such as weaving fragments of classical music into songs. The formation often changed the name (T-Set, Tea Set, The Screaming Abdabs, The Architectual Abdabs) and composition.

Let's start from the very beginning:
"When Barrett arrived in London in 1964 to start painting at Camberwell Art School, he immediately received a proposal from Waters to join the group. The band - initially named Sigma 6 - experienced, then and later, frequent changes in composition and name. When Syd Barrett joined the band, the group performed under the name The Tea Set. When it turned out that they would be playing a concert with another band of the same name, Barrett proposed the name The Pink Floyd Sound.

The Tea Set is commonly translated as: Tea set. Probably Syd would laugh at such a trivial and hardly original name of the band. By dividing this name into parts, one can deduce a little visible, but nonetheless, a clue that leads to an attempt to understand what he knew, but what for obvious reasons at that time could not say in an open text.
<<< Tea - gossip or personal information belonging to someone else; the scoop; news.
Spill the tea about what happened at the club.
(link) - http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=tea
First. The band's name: "The Tea Set" was renamed from "Sigma 6" only thanks to the intervention of Syd Barrett.
Secondly. His occult passion and artistic genius would not allow him, I think, to give the band such a trivial name. Confirmation that this was the Gnostic idea of ​​giving this and not another band name is another transformation of the name into: "The Screaming Abdabs", "The Architectual Abdabs", which I will also later discuss.
Third, finally. Combining this "subliminal" meaning of the term Tea with how "normal" meaning: set - set, collection, set, you can guess that the leitmotif of the whole artistic activity of the band will be topics related to the intimate experiences of a specific person, it will be just like most personal diary - what evidence I will present in subsequent entries.
Another "antique" name of the band: "The Architectual Abdabs" - is also too literally understood. Start here by correcting commonly repeated incorrect information:
<<< The article by a woman named Barbara Walters, published in the Regent Street University of Technology newspaper (today University of Westminster) is probably the first press mention of the group from which the Pink Floyd band later formed. [...] Many biographical publications on the history of Pink Floyd duplicate the erroneous information called The Architectual Abdabs that the band allegedly used for some time in its pre-activity. This is a misunderstanding. The actual name was simply The Abdabs, and the alleged architectural prefix was derived from the above article.

So here is another hint here that tells us what kind of "revelations" to expect in the above-mentioned (The Tea Set) "vivisection diary": abdabs - horror, nerves, which I hope to prove by my accurate interpretation of all subsequent CDs and band songs.
And finally the official and widely known name of the band - Pink Floyd.
<<< When the Tea Set realized they were not the only band by that name, Barrett proposed a change to The Pink Floyd Sound, from two musicians playing blues - Pink Anderson and Floyd Council. Ultimately, the team decided to shorten the name to Pink Floyd at the request of group managers Peter Jenner and Andrew King.

Maybe yes, maybe not, and maybe maybe. Based on such "information" you can easily fall into the meanders of cursory conclusions. However, I will continue to stick to the "occult thread" and using the municipal dictionary of slang and colloquial speech, I will say that the Gnostic type of message was once again used here.
<<< Pink - Pink is a pale shade of red that is named after a flower of the same name. It was first used as a color name in the late 17th century. According to surveys in Europe and the United States, pink is the color most often associated with charm, politeness, sensitivity, tenderness, sweetness, childhood, femininity and romance. A combination of pink and white is associated with chastity and innocence, whereas a combination of pink and black links to eroticism and seduction.

<<< Floyd - A person who is is so cool that people have to give them all his / her love.
Dude, nick is so cool. he is a total Floyd.
(link) - http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=floyd

Combining these two different definitions: pink and floyd, which at least were not borrowed from the names of Pink Anderson and Floyd Council, one can deduce a very important conclusion, which, however, may seem too bold and not fully understood at the moment, but after getting to know with the interpretation of individual songs of the Pink Floyd band (which I intend to post on the blog), it will only be possible to understand the non-accidentality of such a choice.

Well, taking into account everything that I wrote about: The Tea Set: (a set of personal information - the leitmotif of the whole artistic activity of the band will be topics related to the intimate experiences of a specific person, it will be even the most personal diary), as well as: The Screaming Abdabs, The Architectual Abdabs: (terrifying, nervous scream) - it is using the final version of the band's name - Syd Barett clarifies that it will be a diary of a specific, rather neurotic woman - Pink Floyd: (girlish pink color, cool person).

I wonder how much the band paid for that logo? Or it got passed over their heads and behind back? Imagine if they'd stuck with it throughout their career?
The Wall? Imagine that Pink Floyd logo stuck above

Jimi Dean Barrett - Your questions are interesting, but unfortunately too imprecise to answer them.
