Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Adam Average	#1 by Adam at Dec 7, 1970 at 1:58 PM EST
	Roger Waters had/has a very cynical and bitter sense of humour, which is great. I think it's quite funny that the whole punk movement despised Pink Floyd for being old dinosaurs or whatever they saw them as. The Floyd were a whole lot more subtle than the punks in saying f*** off to the System they were meant to symbolise.

No Picture Aaron Wanna Be	#2 by Aaron schmidt at Jul 6, 1973 at 8:31 AM EST
	ok i get it....it weird because in welcome to the machine its sort of the opposite because there refering to the machine to show that music is a product of society made by the music industry...the machine...its weird i know there related tho

No Picture tane Wanna Be	#3 by tane at Feb 18, 1979 at 9:16 AM EST
	That cover version is horrible. It does PF wrong. Yes, I think this album is about Syd, and the record companies.

No Picture UknownSoldier Lead Player	#4 by UknownSoldier Nightmare at Jan 9, 1983 at 3:43 AM EST
	Even though it's not Roger singing, Hats Off To Roy Harper for doing a really great job with this. It still sounds like Pink floyd even w/o roger or dave singing. Duh, cuz of the instruments and lyrics but many times with different vocalists you can't tell. Roger had a sore throat when they were planning on recording this song, so they got roy harper. i just wonder why dave couldn't sing it?

No Picture RJ Average	#5 by RJ Rehmann at Nov 1, 1995 at 10:49 PM EST
	I beg to differ brn2, that line has to be understood in conjuction with the earlier three lines. The line represents the inner struggle in the band in a subtle way. He even says, "... it (the success/albums/band) can be made into a monster, if we all put together as a team"

No Picture Dylan Average	#6 by Dylan at Aug 20, 1997 at 1:07 AM EST
	RedAriken06, maybe I misunderstood your comment, but Wish You Were Here is about Sid. Anyway, sipayi, I never thought about the line "Oh by the way, which one is Pink?" the way you initially described it. I can see how you came to the conclusion. Sounds like an honest mistake. For some reason, I always saw a connection between this song and two others. 1) Welcome To The Machine - sort of shows the flip side to this song. In Have A Cigar, you see how Pink Floyd ridicules the record company execs. In Welcome To The Machine, you see how Pink Floyd sees themselves as selling out too. 2) Brain Damage – “And if the band your in starts playing different tunes, I’ll see you on the dark side of the moon”. Almost as if the record company “wins”, then the only way out is to quit.

	whats a flanger

No Picture Tony Average	#8 by Tony Cracknell at Nov 27, 2006 at 7:58 PM EST
	From what i've heard the whole CD of "Wish you were here" is about Barrett. The lyrics make a lot of sense then.

No Picture Aaron Average	#9 by Aaron Webster at Jan 29, 2007 at 12:28 AM EST
	Tis song is clearly about the record company being complete A$$holes and not even knowing who they are as long as they get their cash, with all do respect to roger waters he is stingy and fell for the record compainies tricks on purpose because as much as he loved playing music he also wanted the money. Think about it he continued making dozens of their greatest hits albums abd EVEN SEWED David Gilmour for the rights to 75% the profit of Pink floyds new albums! whast up with that as much as he was making fun of the sytem he went along with them for a while

No Picture Brandon Rhythm Player	#10 by Brandon Winfrey at Apr 18, 2007 at 7:07 PM EST
	After a little more research, I will have to agree with brn2, the three lines do actually depict EMI. Legend has it that somebody did in fact ask Waters, "Which one is Pink?" Apologies to Brn2. :-)
