Question

(R&P) How Should I complete the waaaaalll? (Pink Floyd, The Wall related Q's)?

Answer 1

Aha, I love it! XD



1 ~ Both, can't choose.

2 ~ Either Comfortably Numb or Goodbye Blue Sky. I also love Mother, it's really hard to choose!

3 ~ I've seen it!

4 ~ Loads of times!

5 ~ It symbolizes all the events in Pink's life which cause him to become isolated, depressed, etc. and therefore build a wall up around himself [in his mind, that is] so that people can't hurt him anymore [more emotionally hurt him, I think]. And when the wall comes down, it's Pink finally reaching out for help after his own trial in his mind and him letting down the wall between him and others which has been up for so many years.

Answer 2

I like both discs.

RLH

Yes.

Yes.

The wall symbolizes all the f*cked up things that happen to this poor kid, from his father leaving, to the war, to his stint as a rock n roll star. It keeps building in his mind until the end, when he finally breaks free.

Answer 3

1. Disk 2

2. Waiting For The Worms or Hey You

3. I've heard it and saw the live version in stores but do not own.

4. Yes

5. The wall is a mental "wall" blocking off Pink from the rest of the world. The "bricks" are people that have made his life progressively worse (ex. "Mother", "Happiest Days Of Our Lives", "Another Brick In The Wall, pt. 2"). Eventually it got so bad he went into a vegetable state. The worms were in his brain living out the lives of the "bricks" ("Hey You", "Waiting For The Worms", "The Trial"). The movie helps.

Answer 4

1. i like the both equally

2. comfortably numb or hey you or run like hell

3. heard it

4. yes

5. the wall is the mental barrier that pink put around him so the people couldnt get close to him and hurt him anymore. he felt he needed to do this as a result of this dad dying in war when he was young, his over-protective mother, a bad educational system, and bad experiances being a rock star. the wall stays up until pink puts himself on trial(in his mind) and he realizes that he shouldnt have isolated himself from people and he tears down the wall



and the bonus is "young lust"

Answer 5

watch the matrix while playing the wall backwards, it's a trip

Answer 6

I actually prefer the soundtrack to the film "The Wall". It's got awesome tracks like "When The Tigers Broke Free" (see link). Not easy to find, but I have it.

Answer 7

While pink floyd is terrible, the wall is unusually awful.

Answer 8

1) I prefer disc 2, purely because the songs are better.



2) My favourite would be Comfortably Numb-It's just a classic.



3) I own it and i also own The Live in Berlin version by Roger Waters and have watched it at least 100 times.



4) I own the movie and have also watched it heaps.



5) The wall symbolises a barrier between a burnt out musician and his audience, that's how it all started right? in Pink Floyd's 1977 Animals tour when Roger Spat on an audience member. It also symbolises his isolation from society and his wife who eventually cheats on him.



bonus) it is from Empty Spaces and transitions into Young Lust
