- Guy discusses his current comedy show "my bass & other animals" 2007/08. From Australian TV Channel Ten - 9AM with David & Kim (David Reyne & Kim Watkins).
The Mudman do not own the rights to this video track nor it's audio track, it is uploaded for educational reasons only. See my channel for more Pink Floyd interviews & thanks for watching :D
Guy Pratt plays bass guitar amazingly, that alone makes him part of the good portion of humanity, His sense of humour shows he's an asset to humanity!
Guy's work with Dave Gilmour is phenomenal.
and with Nick Mason's band (Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets)
Guy Pratt is so funny, so many great stories. Saw him do his My bass.. live at Edinburgh festival ...brilliant.
His Dad was Mike Pratt who play Randall in the 1960's TV show, Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased).
Fun fact: He's married to Richard Wright's daughter.
Was! Split a few yrs back
:O
@@jameswhile544 no .....still married .....not together ,.....but still married....
As far as I know they've been divorced for a few years. He is now engaged to Georgia Byng.
Love his sense of humour, and he comes across as a really genuine person !
Love your bass playing Guy and your comedy too! You’re an inspiration to me, at the age of 67 & with no musical ability whatsoever I went out and bought a bass, amp etc. 13 weeks in I’m playing comfortably numb, ok badly but I’m loving the journey.
I can't count the number of times I've watched this interview and I still laugh out loud when Guy imitates Madonna "Time is money and the money is mine!" He's too funny with that impression. He's fun to watch being interviewed. I'd like to find an interview of him talking about touring with Iva Davies of Icehouse. I think Iva Davies is the best thing to come out of Australia, he's an incredible singer and song writer.
Very good interview, intelligent questions and they let the guest speak, very enjoyable.
Cannot work out why 11 people gave this a thumbs down...Guy is awesome! I loved the soundtrack to "Young Person's Guide To Becoming A Rock Star"
Really good interview. Very entertaining.
I wish they talked more about Rick Wright because he's Guy's father-in-law. He seems like a really nice man too. I'd like to meet the guys of Pink Floyd and Dave's band. And just saying, watching Guy live, he's the only one dancing and jumping around at the front of the stage.
He was uncomfortable when he mentioned Rick..
Rick(Which i was very surprised by) wasn"t a particularly nice Guy by a lot of accounts
@@ghmusic8116 what was wrong with him?
the man is brilliant, pure brilliance
I surely adore Guy Pratt: excellent and most versatile bass player, witty, entertaining, brilliant as a storyteller and all that. Only one thing: I've heard the punch line 'A toaster would have come closer to what I really wanted' too often - he never fails to insert it.
I've been watching you tube clips from the momentary lapse of reason tour from 1988 and particularly love guy pratts opening bass riff on learning to fly 🪰
That madonna bit killed me
What a great guy!!
Gotta love Guy Pratt.
a lovely man
+WalterSobchak1000 Indeed! Humble and witty, like many Britons...
One of my fave albums of all time is the one off collab "Toy Matinee" on which Guy played a very big part. If you haven't already, go check it out - it's totally awesome and, to me, one of those "stars aligning" moments in rock history.
What a funny guy!! I would love to have some drinks with him, I’m sure he has even more funny stories lol!
Brilliant!.....great musician too! Genuinely funny as hell.
He is a great raconteur.
What a funny guy
Guy Pratt was in Icehouse 1982-86. Check out Taking The Town video clip.
He looks like a very genuine funny guy!
I like Guy a lot, I think if Roger would have stayed the band would have eventually hired a bass player anyways.
+Sluff Adlin Yes! Great Interview!!!
+Sluff Adlin He almost did the Live 8 show but was touring with someone else at the time and wouldn't have been able to make the show as the group he played with was doing the Live 8 show in Germany I think.

kind of Ironic, as a Floyd family member, fan and their post Waters bassist (after Tony Levin) he probably wanted to see Pink Floyd reunite more than anyone but was unable to attend because he was playing the same gig elsewhere.
That's rather true, because if you look at the Wall live during the early 80s, Roger plays the bass here and there, but he does go on stage without one, and there was another bass player that was doing his parts.
Greg Diller Both Snowie White & Andy Bown Covered a lot of Rogers Bass Playing parts on that Wall Tour (1980-81) David Gilmour Played a fair bit of Bass Guitar on Floyds recordings He Played Fretless Bass on "Hey You" (The Wall) Fat old Sun (Atom Heart Mother) 2nd Bass on One of these days & Echoes (Meddle) Pigs (3 different ones) Animals. Here"s a List of Floyd Tunes DG Played Bass Guitar on

PLEASE COME TO MELBOURNE WITH YOUR FLOYD STORIES, GUY?!!!!!.. ( I'll see in in two weeks with Nick and co -ROCKIN' THE OLD SCHOOL, can't wait)
I never realized how much he reminds me of Gordon Ramsay, LOL.
I think is he a great guy, very down to earth
He's the Guyest of them guys
An engaging guy.
cool guy, funny stories.
hilarious and accesible
hey Mr Mudman, Guy was the bass player for Pink Floyd, not a Pink Floyd bass player
Kind of odd to to interview him in Australia and not mention his time with Icehouse?
Wow, hot shit, cool dude!
Oh, trust me... I NOTICED HIM!
Rick wright is happy now. His son is LAW is part of the music he left behind
He's been that since the late 1980s.
I never knew that he was a stand up comic. I always thought that he was the guy with the most spastic energy on stage...
Ya, Guy is great! He did a hell of a job with Ferry and now PF. Im just woundering now that Gilmore broke up PF for good does the rest of group enjoy Gilmores new taste in music. Rattle That Lock is good though
The name for which you were searching is Gilmour
First thing I thought when I saw him, and the voice is also a little like, - Mark Sheppard -
What a great chap. Seems the opposite of rock and roll hype. You would find him easy to approach unlike Madonna. From comparing to other sources he's described her to a tee!
There are tons of people who co-wrote and co-produced songs with her and everyone says she is an incredibly down-to-earth and lovely person to work with, not to mention her talent and cleverness. So I guess it's just like everyone else, it depends on the personal experience you have with that specific person.
पिङ्क फ्लोयड को ज्वाईं !!!
Fun fact: He's being interviewed by James Reyne's brother... haha
I never knew it was Gilmour who probably played bass.
Yeah funny story, Roger wasn't even the best bass player in Pink Floyd. Always an idea man. If you listen to the studio version of 'One of These Days' off of 'Meddle', the intro consists of two bass tracks recorded over one and other, the first, dirty, messy bass line is Roger's, the second, cleaner, neater, more precise bass line is David's.
wherre did you read that?
mike Braxus It's been mentioned on several documentaries.
mike Braxus On the Echoes (The Best of Pink Floyd) Compilation CD it Credits David Gilmour as playing 2nd Bass Guitar on One of these days as well as Echoes, Hey You, Pigs three different ones, Fat old Sun, The Remake 1981 Recording of Money and Loads more .

Dave played most of the bass? prolly referring to Money, the 7-8 lines turned to 7-4.
i love pulse but tdsot album was stuck and forever should be known as pratt floyd
American Patriot Live at Pompeii is fantastic.
pulse concert in 1994 has no equal.
Guy if you read this, I don't know anyone who dislikes the reggae part nor the slap in ABiTW2.
I am huge fun
on charlie
One Slip is an amazing song, and the Bass has a lot to do with it.
I thought Tony Levin played bass on that.
@@andrewlaitres9080 not the live version - it's way better. Thanks to Guy
@@andrewlaitres9080 It was a Chapman Stick on the record, not an actual bass guitar (otherwise he would've used a MM Stingray)
Kind of frustrating how this superb musician feels he has to dumb down his answers or basically make things up, so they have some idea of what he’s talking about.
Roger Waters was never the mainstay of Pink Floyd....It was a group of four brilliant talents that made the band what it was, then the remaining three did an amazing job of carrying it on...
Roger Waters was the leader of the band, and after he left the band fell into mediocrity. He was the mainstay.
Aussie legend....(even though he now sounds English!)
err..................he is a Brit
He is british
I don’t believe Roger didn’t play bass on the records. I believe some songs and parts maybe he didn’t, but not all of the albums like Guy’s saying. Listen to any live recordings of them playing back in the late 60’s early 70’s and even up to The Wall Tour in 1980, Roger held it down just fine. Yeah he isn’t a Geddy Lee level bassist but he plays just fine. I love ya Guy but cmon we all know thats a huge exaggeration to make.
No finer bass guitarist ??......let me introduce you to my friend Mark King.
Jesus, no... Fuck off with that! :-D
r u out of your mind!!! pink floyd's base player!!! really. there's only one pink floyd base player and in fact person responsible for floyd being what it is today.
Don't give up the day job Pratt
Is he on coke?
This is the quintessential interview with David Brent, the cringe is off the charts
The bass player for Pink Floyd is Roger Waters...
He's embarrassing and cringworthy in this.
This was 2011.. not 07/08.. I was the manager at the Factory where he did the shows.
