who sings welcome to the machine?

I'm not quite sure but I think so that it's Waters.

Just listen to the IN THE FLESH-Live Version on his tour. Gilmour can't (!!!!!!!!!!!!!) sing like that...he can't he can't he can't!

[eddie]

i think is dave... in concert dave sings most of the song...

[princessDungan74D]

I always thought it was david

[Johnny Rotten]

another site that supports Waters:

OMG!!! I can't believe what I'm reading here.. How long have you guys been listening to Floyd? Because that high vocal line is without a doubt, David. There isn't even a question in my mind. That's DAVE GILMOURS voice. Just listen to that line "It's alright we know where you've been," and then go listen to something dave sings in a rough voice.. Like Young Lust.. or the Nile song.. Now tell me that's not Dave. I can't say who is singing under him, but I'm pretty sure it's roger. There is a point where the lower voice has to hit a high note as well, so maybe that's what those books are talking about. But yeah.. That's Dave.. No if, ands, or buts..

It was probably Roy Harper.

[Johnny Rotten]

It is definetly not Roy Harper in any part, otherwise he would be promoting that too in his website.

I have now listened track throughly and htere are the spots where I hear RWs and DGs vocal parts.I hear Roger Waters with his studio edited high pitch vocals mixed in with DGs singing the lead. I do not hear Roger coming off in anywhere else on the song. DG also does those silent vocals that rise clearly in the "so welcome to the machine." part.
They are both present on the tracks same time.

Can anyone watch this from somekind of reliable PF book?

[Ef.U.if.U.Dont.Like.it]

Most of us free thinking people don't need books to tell us who is singing what. We have ears and common sense that tells us who is singing. That, and over 20 years of listening to these guys tells me who sings what. I thought that most people that have listened to this band for longer then, lets say one year, would be able to EASILY determine who sings what. I thought for sure when mosespa clearly and sanely explained who was singing this would be over, but nooooo.

Keep it up, it's good for a laugh!

Don't feel too bad, Lisa...I've always said that this world would be a much better place if people would just shut up and listen to me.

*sigh*...I'm used to being ignored, however.

Roy Harper, who was hanging around the studio and when Roger or David couldn't get it right Roy stepped in.

[mosespa]

That's "Have A Cigar" you're thinking of.

[dj865]

There was once a female on this forum

[mosespa]

Several, actually.

They are somehow combined, by machine I would say …

It's David. End of story
