Well, I am David Gilmour, the voice and guitar of Pink Floyd. I have been since I was 21.
David Gilmour
Image
I've sort of remarried a few years ago and have had a couple more children in the last couple of years. And so home life is taking up a lot of my time.
David Gilmour

People in Italy seem to be very capable of singing along with 'Wish You Were Here' perfectly, yet it's hard to get someone in the street who speaks english.
David Gilmour
Image
The expectation on me as a solo artist is very different to the audience's expectation of a Pink Floyd show.
David Gilmour

For me, gradually over the years, you refined your tastes in the way you do things and it becomes maybe less experimental.

Everyone goes to rotten schools when they're kids, don't they?
David Gilmour

I think a lot of things do influence me, but the influence mechanism is as such that these things dive into your brain and bury themselves into your subconscious and you're never quite sure where and how they're going to emerge. I don't think I really take direct influence.

Our music has depth, and attempts philosophical thought and meaning with discussions of infinity, eternity and mortality. There is a line which people cross that turns it into some magical, mystical realm, for which I dont claim responsibility and dont hold any great truck with.

The idea of going around to somebody else's flat or house and sitting around in a comfy room and having a really good hi-fi system and listening to a whole album all the way through, then chatting for a few minutes, then maybe putting another album on . . . does that happen today?
David Gilmour
Image
If people would like to come to my concerts I'd love them to come. And if they like the music that I make, I love that too. But I do not make music for other people. I make it to please myself.
David Gilmour
Image
I think once you've seen a song with a video, it limits your own mind's ability to read into it anything other than what you've seen.
David Gilmour
Image
My technique is laughable at times. I have developed a style of my own, I suppose, which creeps around. I don't have to have too much technique for it. I've developed the parts of my technique that are useful to me. I'll never be a very fast guitar player. I don't really know what to say about my style. There's always a melodic intent in there.
David Gilmour

I find it incredibly difficult to write anything that's really happy.
David Gilmour

The music tends to be an expression of one's darker moments.
David Gilmour

Yes, there's a lot of the blues in my playing.
