Pink Floyd fans inside please
 

Can someone please explain to me what "Waiting for the worms" is about?

Waiting to be assimilated

in a nutshell...

Pink has lost all hope and has let bad ideas, or "worms", control his thoughts.

On a more literal level, the worms also represent the Nazi-like party of fascist followers that spring up around Pink. "Waiting to follow the worms" can be seen in both sense, as can many of the elements in THE WALL.

Floyd to Fly Again?
 

Nick Mason is indicating that there's another reunion coming....

After seeing the Waterless Floyd three times and Roger twice (seperatly, of course) I would love to see them get together and do The Wall. I never got to see that.

And some new collaborative material would be nice!

BTW - Waters is playing at this years Coachella festival. :thumbsup






London (ANI): Legendary rock band Pink Floyd are all set to reunite for a charity gig, it has emerged. Drummer Nick Mason confirmed the band's reunion and said that they just had to find the right cause to support.

"I'm pretty sure we'll play together again," The Sun quoted Mason, as saying. Pink Floyd have made up after a 20-year grudge. "We're not at each other's throats now," Mason said.

The band last performed at the London Live 8 concert in 2005, mending the rift between Dave Gilmour and Roger Waters. Pink Floyd fell out in the Eighties over who owned the band's name.

I always thought it was all his fucked up thoughts( memories ) that he's buried over time in his mind.

I could see it happening.

Right from the horses mouth... transcript of the national radio program that Roger Waters and Jim Ladd did about the Wall. http://www.pink-floyd.org/artint/119.htm

[Waiting For The Worms]

RW: And then he keeps flipping into the other persona which is the raving, facist persona that he has adopted. I could explain one thing and that is that all that shouting, the bullhorn stuff is actually describing a march from a place in south London. It's a heavily black populated area of south London where the National Front is particularly active. And it describes a march from a place called Brixton Town Hall and it just describes the roads and things and which bridge they come over and where they're going. And they're going towards Hyde Park Corner to have a rally in Hyde Park. And at the end of it, I don't know if can hear, they're saying hammer. And that's another thing. On side four, the audience who start off in between 'The Show Must Go On' and 'In The Flesh'...you can hear them chanting Pink Floyd, but slowly that gets taken over by Hammer. The idea was for a rock show to turn into a rally.

JL: These last few lines in 'Stop': "Because I have to know / Have I been guilty all this time." Is Pink asking himself, 'Am I a contributor to this very Hell that I have made for myself?'

RW: Yeah. Exactly that.

[Stop]

JL: And what's your judgement on that?

RW: Well...it all comes out in the next song.

JL: Which is 'The Trial.'

[The Trial begins]

JL: And here you bring back the characters of the school master, the wife, the mother.

RW: And he has been obviously. We have been. We did do Aneheim stadium last time where the first people in the audience are 120 yards away because they won't let you on the infield. A dreadful place to do a rock show. The only reason for doing it is money. The defense of doing huge gigs like that, where nobody can really hear anything or see anything, is 'well gosh, we're so popular...there are so many people who want to come see us that we have to do these very large venues in order to accomadate them.' Which is a very nice gently out, but the reason that we all do it is for the bucks. And don't let any rock and roller tell you different because it ain't true. So, he decides that he has, we have. All those big stadium gigs. As it's himself that's trying himself. The worst thing that he thinks can happen to him is that he should expose himself, and his fears, and his feelings, and anything to make himself vunerable.

JL: Now wait a minute. You say that he's judging himself?

RW: Yeah. This is him hallucinating. This is him breaking down.

Also, the worms eat you when you die...

I always thought it referred to death.. as in, You're worm food.

wtf`??:helpme

I take it you've never seen the movie.

And the worms ate into his brain.


Don't overthink it.

I'll be seeing Roger Waters perform Darkside of the Moon in 3 weeks. woot.:thumbsup

You officially suck. :winkwink:

I got to see the Division Bell tour, I would kill to see the wall or Darkside. My Iphone has the Wall, Movie and CD, Plus Final Cut, Division Bell, Animals, Delicate Sound of Thunder, Darkside of the moon and A couple lesser known albums from the UK... It's basically all I listen too.

Can you explain the whole Animals album?

Lost my virginity to Pigs..25 years later still love the song but have no clue what they meant:1orglaugh

What a great album!!

Never seen The Wall huh?

Please tell me you are kidding. You have never seen The Wall? :helpme:helpme:helpme

Pink Floyd is about getting high and listening to probably the most creative band ever. draw your own conclusions, just make sure to start the movie after the third lion roar!

Thats no way to talk about your first.... I'm sure she had to have some redeeming quality.

think this will be worth seeing/experiencing?

Now that's very clever:1orglaugh How about Dogs? Good job.:winkwink:

same here

Damn! Gonna have to change your nick to Lite-Rocktansky...might have to change your avatar too:

Like a lot of their albums, that's the kind of album that you just have to turn the music up, sit back, close your eyes and let your mind conjur up images as the tunes play... and as someone else said decide for yourself what it all means.

It's actually for that very reason that I generally despise music videos, always have. I don't need others telling me what the song means or "looks like"... that's why we have imaginations. And there's no better music in the world to fuel your imagination than classic rock, specifically Floyd. :2 cents:

Well, since I have all access passes to Coachella (courtesy of the family that owns the land - more access than the artists themselves have) and this is just one of many bands i'll be seeing, yes. :winkwink:

Got a vacation house less than 2 miles from the event, golf carts to travel to and from, a 45' RV filled with kegs, etc....

That one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs.

that will fucking rock ... enjoy!! :thumbsup

One of my favorite bands/concerts of all time

And THE WALL is certainly one of my favorite movies

i think you will enjoy this one

I was fortunate in high school to find out about this movie at a party with the "older people". Every one was on acid and he was a snake collector. The idea was to be on acid. I think it was the thing back then. Probably now now eh ? he he

I tried to have a good time

... i'm not the 60s either not that old. this shit is timeless art

"The band last performed at the London Live 8 concert in 2005, mending the rift between Dave Gilmour and Roger Waters. Pink Floyd fell out in the Eighties over who owned the band's name."


And that Live 8 performance was very uninspiring. It did not look to me like the rift had subsided.

I have an original piper at the gates of dawn record..havent played it in ages..and dont have a record player any more, used to love listening to The Gnome

fuck this made me crank up Animals.... fuck there just arent genius minds like this anymore

The worms = Bush, Cheney.
