The latest issue of Guitar World
magazine, which has just hit US stores, has a feast of Floyd, with
indepth interviews with Roger Waters AND David Gilmour!
The interview with David,
conducted recently on board Astoria, his houseboat studio, is an
absorbing look at the recording process.
It covers the development and
creation of his new album, On An Island, and also looks at other recent
events - the Live 8 reunion, and how the chances look for a repeat of
this historic get-together in the future. (A clue: it doesn't look
good!)
He even touches on the numerous
delays to the Pulse DVD, and from his comments, makes it clear that
there should be no good reason for any delays beyond the confirmed
release date of September 18th this year.
Turning now to the Waters
interview, this is a fascinating look at his views on the state of
music today, the Live 8 reunion, his thoughts on Pink Floyd, and more.
It is the same interview that originally appeared in the UK's Word
Magazine, around the time of the release of Ca Ira.
Elsewhere, there is also a guitar
tutorial, described on the cover as "The Ultimate Pink Floyd Lesson".
The CD-ROM includes a step-by-step guide to playing "Another Brick" and
"Comfortably Numb".
And, in selected newsstand copies only, there are a
pair of Pink Floyd posters: the first of which is Storm Thorgerson's
"back catalogue" picture, and the other is a collage of items, adorning
an early seventies picture of the band.
The magazine, which is out now,
should be available from all good stockists in the US and Canada, and
available in a number of countries worldwide as an import.
Our thanks to Alex Reist and Marie Lopez for their help in bringing this info to you.
