Home Interviews David Gilmour interviews February 10th 2003 - VH1 Classic, USA
February 10th 2003 - VH1 Classic, USA |
|
|
Despite being promoted as an hour
long presentation, with rare videos such as Arnold Layne, what was
broadcast in the event turned out to be just 30 minutes long. Most of
the footage came from the Delicate Sound Of Thunder video, with the
exception of the Wish You Were Here film and Another Brick film (more
of which below).
David looked relaxed, and dressed
smartly, with an open-necked blue shirt. One irritating thing about
VH1's presentation of David's interview segments was the way that they
kept on swapping between the correct image of his face, to a mirror
image. Why? It only served to annoy...as most people's faces are not
symmetrical, you naturally find yourself concentrating more on the face
rather than what's being said. Our huge thanks to Jon who so
kindly helped out Brain Damage with this interview.
Programme start:
"I found the voice of
mine that I liked many, many years ago. And while one always struggles
to improve, its good to recognize your limitations, but always try to
push it on constantly."
Opening titles for "Headline Act" follow, then:
"That first moment
that you find something that you think has got that little touch of
magic to it, it's wonderful. And the moment that you sort of get close
to realizing it in the studio, when it's all done, and you hear back
things, you know, harmonies, and voices, and guitars that you're proud
of."
"Wish You Were Here" performance from Delicate Sound... is played, then:
"I don't feel,
particularly at the time, that this is a way that I am expressing
emotion when I'm playing the guitar, just think of it bending old bits
of wire and stuff. But sometimes afterwards I can see, in the better
bits of guitar playing that I have done, that there is a successful
transmission of emotion in that."
"On The Turning Away", Delicate Sound... is played, then:
"The music business,
industry, whatever you want to call it...art form, is lots of different
businesses all sort of running parallel, which often have very little
to do with each other. And there are still bands who are coming up the
way that we came up, who's life blood is to is the making the records
and touring and playing gigs all over the world to people and gradually
building up a following."
The "Welcome To The Machine" animation film is played in full, accompanied by the studio recording of the track, then:
"Regaling the world
with the words "We don't need no education," unless it's for the ones
who understand a double negative, is probably not the greatest message
to put across. Within the context of the film and the album, anyone
would understand that it is actually a plea for better education."
The Another Brick sequence
from The Wall movie is played with abysmal sound - it runs from the
railway tunnel segment, through the mincer part, the school riot, and
ends on Pink blowing on his sore knuckles, then:
"One is never
satisfied, I think...I don't, yeah, if you live some sort of an
artistic life, I don't think you ever think you've quite achieved what
you wanted to, or that you maybe should have done. But overall one
couldn't be too discontent!"
A fairly short interview then,
and a disappointing selection of videos to accompany it. With the
exception of the Wall sequence, none of the video clips relate to what
David is saying...nice to see the Wish You Were Here animation in full
though.
