Ad hominem: I don't think you're entirely wrong. The movie has the phone call happening BEFORE the song Young Lust, and uses the song as a kind of reaction to his wife's affair. The album has his...

Sorry, that was a pretty inartful comment. Read the lyrics to Young Lust, the phone call at the end is what precipitates his transformation.

Young lust is a tragic song. The Rockstar is all rocking out on tour and keeps trying to call his wife but a man keeps picking up and hanging up on him. This exacerbates his abandonment complex and...

Well, the song was mostly Waters' work, something about boys who blow off school to hang around dirty bookstores. Gilmour definitely added the sharper edges to it, but as far as collaborations go, it's...

I think actually hippybear is the right guy to ask about that. (If he didn't seem to know more about Pink Floyd than me, it wouldn't be any fun to pompously denounce The Divison Bell in his direction.)...

I haven't been a die-hard Floyd fan since high school, but the "Young Lust" scene in the movie version of The Wall certainly led me to believe it was a satire of dumbass cock rock.

No-sword, you seem like the right guy to ask about this. I saw the (awesome) staging of The Wall last month and have always wondered..... Was "Young Lust" supposed to be a spoof of a certain type of...

Okay, hippybear, I'm just going to come right out and say it. The Final Cut was the sound of Roger Waters shedding the rest of Pink Floyd like a rumpled cocoon, and emerging as... well... I'm sure a...

So when is it going up for sale? I know some rockers who'd love to buy EMI.

In all fairness, Syd has been a non-member of Pink Floyd longer than Roger. I mean, I mourn for the guy; he was a brilliant flame which was fed fuel too strong for its wick. But the chances of having...

It wouldn't surprise me if any of the major labels started going under. Most of them have been cruising on the momentum they built up over many years of being the gatekeeper that made it all happen for...

In Roger Waters' defense, I'm pretty this was the first re-staging of the Wall since the all-star cast concert in Berlin back in the 90's. It's not like he goes around staging it every year. Also, I...

The idea that in 2007 someone would pay 8 BILLION dollars for a record label is astonishing. What cave was this Guy Hands living in for the past 15 years? Christ, why not just buy Blockbuster Video and...

spicynuts: "Did they not just do another The Wall re-stage around Europe? Never underestimate Roger Waters' greed" Roger Waters hasn't been a member of Pink Floyd in almost thirty years now.

"They" would not be Pink Floyd, in this case. And it is a world-wide tour, not just Europe. (I just saw this about a month ago in Tacoma, and it was outstanding on every level. The things Waters did to...

meaning that the chances of there ever being a new album or reunion tour are slim-to-none. Did they not just do another The Wall re-stage around Europe? Never underestimate Roger Waters' greed.
