Pink Floyd

in my opinion Pink Floyd is collectively a few of the greatest musicians of all time.The band consist of Richard William Wright,David Jon Gilmour,George Roger Waters,George Roger Waters.I am going to provide you with a short biography about the members of the band and how they one day became legends throughout the world. The band consist of David Jon Gilmour who was given a spanish guitar by one of his neighbors and from there the rest would be history. When Dave was a young teenager, his father's profession drew him overseas, to the U.S., leaving Dave to independently fend for himself. playing U.S. military bases with Jokers Wild, and working odd jobs, including his famous stint as a male model. All of this helped to instill in Dave, his underlying grit and a single-minded determination to succeed on his own terms...that was to resurface during the Floydian 'wars' much later. and it was to carry him through in the future, to the ringing of a Division Bell and beyond.For Rick as a young man, he was at a loss for a career to pursue at the prep school he attended, until someone suggested architecture. The Regent Street Poly is where he met Nick and Roger. Rick didn't want to be an architect however, he wanted to be a musician... the rest is history. Rick came back to life, so to speak, with TDB... he co-wrote WTIO with Anthony Moore, and co-wrote Cluster One, WDYWFM, Marooned and KT with Dave. Roger had a normal childhood and loving parents. He was a popular and successful student, and his passions ranged from camping and sports to drama and painting. He was once a Boy Scout patrol leader.Dr. Barrett encouraged Syd's musical interest with the gift of a banjo, and later, a guitar. Dr. Barrett died when Syd was just 14. It's been proposed that this trauma was the first 'catalyst' in Syd's eventual dementia.Syd and Dave were friends at a very early age, and while attending school, they would hang out together, teaching each other guitar....Dave was the better guitarist, and Syd's talent lay in words and lyrics...they would flow from him easily, according to Dave.The founding member of the band that so many today admire and respect, today lives in seclusion and in ill health....a once brilliant mind destroyed by drugs. Syd is a legacy and a lesson for all. All coming from the United Kingdom they have managed to become one of the worlds most heard of bands an more importantly one of my favorites. To see how they struggled with there lives and they took the risk and it wound up paying off. I say this due to the fact that i do not think you can walk up to someone in the street and they would not know who Pink Floyd is.
