I'm a huge fan as you can see from elsewhere in the thread, but they actually kind of weren't. At least, they weren't particularly virtuosic musicians. Which I think led them to be ultimately more interesting and adventurous.
- nzoschke 3y agoI see your point in terms of individual musical talent and skill. I think we agree… They unlocked something as a band where the musical sum is greater than the individual parts, which makes them special.
- nervousvarun 3y agoThat's an interesting take. Richard Wright was a trained classical pianist (if memory serves) and Gilmour always makes the shortlist of greatest rock guitarists. Waters was an average bass player (but outstanding lyricist) and Mason I guess was an average drummer but they weren't really writing tempo-based pieces. Do agree though that their sum was greater than their parts (but their parts weren't too shabby).
