500 Questions
Is Pink Floyd still touring?
Asked by Wiki User
As a band...no. But some former members of the band do. Like Roger Waters, I recommend to follow his Twitter or Facebook. But David stopped touring for some time. I think he needs a break. But you can occasionally hear about Nick touring with his band called Nick Mason's A Saucerful Of Secrets. There was one time when Nick invited Roger to perform one song with this band. They performed Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun....what a surprise. But this performance was amazing. And it was breathtaking to see Roger and Nick together on the stage and also to see Roger share the stage with the guy who replaced him in Pink Floyd. Rare moments for fans to see at least two members of Pink Floyd together.
Genre von Pink Floyd?
Asked by Wiki User
Mostly known for Progressive Rock.
But all I remember they did or tried to experiment with these genres are: Psychedelic rock (Barrett Era and the Era of Progressive Experiments), Progressive rock, Experimental rock, Post-Prog, Experimental music, Alternative, Space rock, Folk, Avantgarde rock, they tried some of Jazz, Blues-rock (The Dogs Of War for example), Blues (Seamus).
But their music can be classified as blues-based progressive rock which you can clearly hear in songs like Pigs (Three Different Ones), Sheep, It's What We Do or even Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts 1-5) and Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts 6-9).

What is the meaning to the song 'Comfortably Numb'?
Asked by Mac O'Connell
Great question! There's actually a few ways to look at it.
- The song is from Pink Floyd's 1979 album The Wall, in which an archetypal rock star named "Pink" grows increasingly isolated as a result of traumatic events of his past and present. These events lead to his building a metaphorical "wall" to separate him from the outside world, using these events as "bricks". The song "Comfortably Numb" shows his isolation after he builds the wall.
- Primary songwriter Roger Waters and director Alan Parker approached the film project "The Wall" as a feature-length music video, with the songs telling the story (which is fleshed out quite a bit more with the accompanying visuals). During "Comfortably Numb", Pink is still isolated, but we also observe him shaving his head, eyebrows, chest-hair, etc. This symbolizes Pink's reversion to a fetal state, out of which he will be reborn as a proto-fascist later in the film ("In The Flesh" and "Run Like Hell").
- Like many of the songs on The Wall, Waters drew upon his own personal experiences when writing the lyrics. In the case of "Comfortably Numb", he recalled being very ill with stomach cramps while the band was on tour, and being administered a tranquilizer (the lyric "just a little pinprick" alluding to the injection). The medicine made his hands feel "like two balloons" and took away his pain ("there is no pain, you are receding").
- Most of the songs on The Wall were written by Waters alone; once his concept was complete, he presented the song cycle to the band, who then added their parts with strict supervision from Waters. In the place of "Comfortably Numb" was a shorter song called "The Doctor" that barely resembled the finished product. Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour added a chord progression for the chorus, and of course added his iconic guitar solos. At that point it was renamed "Comfortably Numb", and was one of the only tracks on "The Wall" that was co-written.
Why is this important, you ask? Well, at the time The Wall was being recorded, Gilmour and Waters hated each other bitterly. They'd barely talk to each other, much less cooperate in the songwriting process. And after The Wall, the band released another Waters project The Final Cut, after which Waters left the band for good. So in a way, "Comfortably Numb" could be seen as the last time the two primary songwriters of Pink Floyd worked together, before their own wall separated them for 25 years.

The main character in Pink Floyd's "The Wall" is named "Pink". He, however, is not a real person. If you meant the personnel who played on the album, the main people were: Roger Waters, David Gilmour and Nick Mason. If you meant the actor that portrayed Pink in the movie version, that was Bob Geldof.
