Pink Floyd The Black Strat book by Phil Taylor

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!

Roger Waters "Leaving Beirut" artist interviewed Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Tuesday, 15 August 2006

This afternoon (August 16th), Harvey Award Hall of Fame inductee, comic book guru and master artist, Neal Adams will appear on US radio talking about such things as the stunning comic book artwork he has created for Roger Waters.

During his current "Dark Side Of The Moon" tour, hitting the States in a fortnight, Roger performs his recent song "Leaving Beirut". To help with the narration of the song, which details Roger's own story of trying to get back home as a youngster, Adams' work fills the screen behind the band. Created in conjunction with Roger, Sony, and Bill Sienkiwitz, the images fill out the story, and provide a strong visual hook for audiences who potentially are unaware of the song.

The interview will be aired on Fanboy Radio, a live comedy radio show about the world of comic books and pop culture hosted by Scott Hinze and Oliver Tull. It airs from the KTCU studios in Fort Worth, Texas on KTCU 88.7 FM (The Choice), online via their internet site's streaming audio, and is syndicated across the United States and Canada.

Apart from his work with Waters, Adams is responsible for the rebirth of such icons as Batman and Green Lantern for DC Comics, and the X-Men and Avengers, for Marvel Comics in the late 60s and 70s. Neal also helped create Deadman, drew the timeless Superman Vs. Muhammad Ali story, defended comic creators’ ownership rights and founded Continuity Comics and Buzzworthy Studios.

“Good fanboys respect the creators that built the foundation we enjoy today” says Fanboy Radio host Scott Hinze. “We speak with icons of current pop culture all of the time, but to be able to interview such a colorful and important artist as Mr. Adams is a real treat.”

The other FbR host, Oliver Tull adds “I’m really excited to talk with Neal Adams. He’s a living legend of the comic book craft and his naturalistic work inspired a generation of artists like me. I can’t wait to pick his brain!”

Should be an interesting interview. Tune in at 1pm Central (2pm Eastern, 11am Pacific) and give the show a call at (817) 257-7631. Fanboy Radio also broadcasts from www.fanboyradio.com and podcasts from www.fbrpc.com.
