Brain Damage and A Fleeting Glimpse

Pink Floyd 1968WELCOME TO THE 26th YEAR OF BRAIN DAMAGE, YOUR PINK FLOYD, DAVID GILMOUR, NICK MASON, SYD BARRETT, RICHARD WRIGHT AND ROGER WATERS NEWS RESOURCE!

It's 2025! This year sees the 50th anniversary of Wish You Were Here, which is an incredible thought; where does the time go?!

The stunningly restored and remixed Pink Floyd At Pompeii MCMLXXII on Blu-ray, 2CD, 2LP, DVD, digital and cinema screenings are now here - with some more cinema screenings in selected places. However you experience it, it is NOT to be missed!

There's also been three Record Store Day releases released on April 12th, from David Gilmour, Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets, and Roger Waters which are also definitely worth tracking down, either in a participating store, or online, now that RSD has finished.

Last year, David Gilmour's superb new album, Luck and Strange, was released in a variety of formats, and a selection of coloured vinyls. A limited number of concert dates thrilled crowds in Brighton and London, England, Rome, Italy, and Los Angeles and New York, USA. Rome shows were filmed for release at some point...watch this space!

The Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets 2024 Set The Controls tour revealed a band in even better form than the 2022/23 shows which managed to exceed everyone's hopes and expectations! Our sincerest hopes are that they continue, but in the meantime, there's the RSD release, and the earlier live recording from London's Roundhouse on Blu-ray, DVD/2CD, and 2LP which is really excellent.

Of course, Roger Waters read three extracts from his memoirs in October 2023 at the London Palladium, so it might not be too long before that is published...he's also working on his new album based around The Bar - we'll let you know as soon as we get all the info! Before all that though is the release of Roger Waters This Is Not A Drill Live In Prague on 4LP vinyl, Blu-ray, DVD, 2CD and digital on August 1st!

Cover of "Money" on movie soundtrack Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Sunday, 27 April 2003

The forthcoming (and unnecessary?) remake of classic British comedy "The Italian Job", filmed on the streets of Hollywood (where else?!) includes a remake of Pink Floyd's "Money" by a band of ex-Guns'n'Roses musicians. The following extract from a Rolling Stone news story tells more:

The singer of "The Project" -- the band featuring former Guns n' Roses members Slash, Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum -- has not yet been announced, but heavily tipped candidate Scott Weiland of Stone Temple Pilots will front the band for at least one song. Weiland recently recorded a cover of Pink Floyd's "Money" with the ex-Gunners for the soundtrack to director F. Gary Gary's upcoming remake of the 1969 British crime comedy The Italian Job, which stars Mark Wahlberg, Edward Norton and Charlize Theron.

"Scott is doing this one because that's the voice that they wanted and they like working with him," a spokesman for Slash said, adding that the group is still auditioning a number of other vocalists. Among those vying for the job are former Skid Row singer Sebastian Bach (who, the source said "desperately wants to come back again"), Days of the New singer Travis Meeks, Lit singer A. Jay Popoff, ex-Buckcherry singer Joshua Todd and ex-Neurotica singer Kelly Shaefer. To date, more than 600 potential candidates have campaigned for the gig, with Slash and Co. bringing in at least 100 known and unknown singers for live auditions.

The Floyd cover also features guitarist David Kushner, who performed with McKagan in his side project Loaded. The soundtrack is due May 26th.

This news has been met with dismay by certain elements of the Floyd community, who are not looking forward to hearing it. Newsgroups are already starting to argue about it in heated discussions...
