Pink Floyd Put Bickering Aside to Finally Announce ‘Animals’ Reissue

[proggy_jazzer]

When I lay back an listen to Animals my most remote thoughts are around the acrimony, I just focus on a stunning musical achievement. I just adore Animals.

This is me. The music speaks for itself and I really don't give a chocolate-covered fig for the rest.

As far as why I would post this in a thread explicitly about the bickering, well...guilty as charged. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Interesting that he's still doing In The Flesh, but he's moved it to open the second set. Any idea who's going to be in the band? In particular, who's going to be the surrogate Gilmour this time around? Has he still got Snowy White playing in his band?

Dave Kilminster is doing the "Gilmour" as it were.

"Playing with his his current band—guitarists Jonathan Wilson and Dave Kilminster, drummer Joey Waronker, guitarist and bassist Gus Seyffert, keyboardist and guitarist Jon Carin, organist Robert Walter, saxophonist Seamus Blake and backing singers Amanda Belair and Shanay Johnson"

I started shopping around today for the box set. I went to LE....not there (yet?) Import CD with shipping & tax $101.00 Burning Shed with shipping & tax $69.00

With the GBP at an all time low.....now is the time for the Yanks to buy from overseas! That's a $32.00 Savings!

Excellent tip! I hadn't thought about it that way. I always feel good directing some cash at Burning Shed if there's any way to do so.

I am reading Mark Blake's Pigs Might Fly book and wow, the Dave/Roger drama has gone on for a very long time.

Pretty much did the same. Actually went to check the Deluxe Editions website and found out deluxe box is released in Europe at lower prices. Not sure why U.S. prices are so steep. Anyway it is on preorder and just need me a patience to last until September / October. Actually I may end up ordering single CD and BR as well, to listen to these without the release and shipping delays (from Europe), and still the price will be comparable to the preorder price of deluxe box in U.S.

I guess this is a dilemma for impatient people as I am sure the prices for the deluxe version here will have to eventually fall as well. Just do not want to miss it as I did some other ones.

His band sounds really good here.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpU4EClgAr0

Apparently Roger has gotten his ego bruised up in Canuckistan. This has resulted in forty-three pages of insanity over on the Hoffman forum, not exactly a shock.

Canuckistan?

Canada I gather, but what's the beef?

Roger did two nights in Toronto. Local media covered the shows by The Weekend and Drake instead. Roger proclaimed to the press that he was “far, far, far more important than any of them will ever be.” Jebus, you're closer to 80 than 70, y'think just maybe the kids want to see someone a little more relevant to their experience than a guy the age of their grandparents?

Saw that too. At first I thought it was just clickbait or that his quote was taken out of context, but as I read the article I realized with growing dismay that it wasn't. He comes off as rather full of himself in that statement. I love Roger and the music he has made throughout his career, but man he really needs to get over himself IMO.

I'm not a Drake fan, but I actually like The Weeknd. He's doing some cool stuff.

Sorry, it was the 'Canuckistan ' bit I was querying....?

A nickname for Canada. A Canuck is slang for Canadian. There is even a hockey team named the Vancouver Canucks.

Back in the days of PE 2.0, Canada was referred to by some of us as Canuckistan or even Soviet Canuckistan. It was kind of an inside joke, I guess.

I think it was playing of the Canadian Conspiracy and Canadian Bacon things. The former was a comedy special that aired on Cinemax circa 1984, that hinged on the idea that after the PM of Canada was offended by a joke Dwight Eisenhower (or was Truman?) made during an official visit, instituted a plan to take over Hollywood by innidating California with scores of Canadian nationals, starting with Lorne Greene.

Canadian Bacon was a mediocre early 90's picture that played off the idea of US officials creating propaganda hinging the idea that Canada is planning to invade the US (as a means of kickstarting a new cold war, after Russia refuses to play ball, to save America from it's failing economy in the wake of the collapse of the Iron Curtain). Alan Alda plays the President, Rip Torn plays his Joint Chief Of Staff, with John Candy ironically playing, in his final role, an Upstate New York sheriff who decides to matters into his own hand. It's kind of a dumb movie, but there's certain things that are hilarious, like the guy who insists Canada is always tryign to "pam stuff on us, like the metric system and Neil Young", and the broadcaster during the propaganda pieces saying that if the US falls to the Maple Leaf, we'll have to listen to "Anne Murray, all day, every day".

Remember, Canadians walk among us.

SCTV is Canadian Gold.

Absolutely. I can't believe the Scorsese documentary still isn't released, it's been finished for years!

I have to say, that is one of the most interesting and unique stage/lighting setups I have ever seen. The massive cross-shaped screen essentially provides all the stage lighting minus a few lights on its underside. Pretty damn cool.

[MortSahlFan]

Same old Roger, it seems.

Good grief, that guy...

What's wrong with having the truth? Gilmour sounds like a baby, "No, I refuse to put it out if you tell them who did what"...

"Same old innocent David Gilmour"
