(Lou Gehrig's Disease is a type of motor neurone disease). In any event, his death doesn't sound like it was a pretty one. <BR/><BR/>Beyond Keller, the revelation of this interview is Syd Barrett speaking coherently. Sad for both him and the passing of Richard Wright. His keyboard playing was indeed was a crucial element of the band's sound during its peak period. All our condolences to Wright's family and the surviving members of Pink Floyd.TJWoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00312890704167853988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-72076363434653702492008-09-15T20:38:00.000-04:002008-09-15T20:38:00.000-04:00Re; The Pink Floyd video:Hans Keller may be the bi...Re; The Pink Floyd video:<BR/><BR/>Hans Keller may be the biggest asshole I've ever heard speak about rock and roll. I hope he died a painful death from rectal cancer!!!<BR/><BR/>I am not a huge Pink Floyd fan defending them at his expense. He's just an asshole. "Concertizing"? Boy he is deep! Why didn't Waters & Barrett poke him in the nose? Does anyone know who the fuck he is?<BR/><BR/>ROT(Plumber)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-19531888501294693392008-09-15T20:10:00.000-04:002008-09-15T20:10:00.000-04:00Crap.I've waxed hot and cold on Floyd, but Wright ...Crap.<BR/><BR/>I've waxed hot and cold on Floyd, but Wright was always a favorite. His playing was understated, but never simplistic. And for my money, his synth work on "Shine On" ranks as some of the best electronic music on record.geor3gehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18382136451663610951noreply@blogger.com
