Topic: Pink Floyds heavyest moments Posted: January 02 2005 at 08:50 |
Well, I've listened to The Nile Song from their 1968 More and I thought that this was as heavy as they got in terms of vocals and atmosphere. Then I did some research and found out that on-stage PF sang Careful With That Axe, Eugene and Interstellar Overdrive in a riffy way, quite different from the studio versions (less synth, more guitar; synth still predominating, though!). Discuss Pink Floyd's links with "harder" acts.

The Nile Song is the heaviest in my opinion , with loud vocals and intertwined guitars from Mr.Dave Gilmour

Has anyone heard VOIVOD's cover version of The Nile Song? Now that is Heavy!! They also covered Astronomy Domine too. Their guitarist is a huge Dave Gilmour fan apparently.

I haven't heard VV's interpretation of "The Nile Song", but their rendition of "Astronomy Domine" kicks ass, as our cousins across the pond might say.
Depends on how you define "heavy", I suppose, but many of Floyd's more intense moments can be heard in a "heavy light" , e.g. "Comfortably Numb".

To be the Nile Song is very heavy as well as Ibiza Bar, but so so are Sheep and Pigs(Three Different Ones) not to mention The In The Flesh tunes on the Wall as well.
Personally I feel there is more intensity in Sheep than there ever was in The Nile Song.
Vegetable Man is pretty heavy as well.

"One Of These Days" is pretty heavy too. I happen to have this bootleg named 'Secrets' which opens with quite a cool, heavy version of "Embryo". Anyone here ever heard this?
And of course Voivod's cover versions of "Nile Song" and "Astronomy Domine" rule. They're all big Floyd fans and these renditions were made with respect to the originals and infected with the unique Voivod sound.

Theres a Floyd bootleg... Rotterdam October 12, 1967. This gig was heavy metal. They played Reaction in G, Pow R Toc H, An Old Woman With A Casket (Scream Thy Last Scream), Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun, and Interstellar Overdrive. The quality isn't very good, and Reaction in G, Pow R Toc H and Interstellar Overdrive are just noise... But STLS and Set the Controls are really something. STLS is supposedly transformed into something reminiscent (or foreshadowing?) to hardcore 80s punk rock... Howling guitars, monotone beats, screaming vocals.

"The Nile Song", by the way the only "bad" track from this very inspired and under-estimated album which is "More" "One of these days..." is maybe the most heavy

"Theres a Floyd bootleg... Rotterdam October 12, 1967" i was thinking it was only sudio albums... Yes, i have a bootleg with quite heavy moments. It's called "man and the journey" and it's from the early 70's

Ah you like it? i found Gilmour to sing badly on this one, but it's a part of the album concept, and illustrates a special moment in this great movie which is "More". What a masterpiece that movie is! By the way "Ibiza bar" track is quite heavy too and is very similar to the nile song. ..and is great too!
