    He’s very humble. He is one of the greatest guitarists. His guitar solos sound like they are breathing. When I was young, I thought he was using an effect. But it’s really his incredible playing style.
    Amazing singer, too. The smoothness of his vocals mixed with Water’s neurotic, screaming vocals worked so well. The combo was brilliant.

      In other words he didn’t learn how to interview from Howard Stern. If he had he would ask questions like: You really dislike Roger Waters don’t you? So Roger Waters was like dictator, you really hated working with him didn’t you? So you & Roger Waters used to get into fisticuffs quite often, how many times did you have to kick his ass? But you are so much better a guitarist than Syd Barrett, didn’t get you get angry when he was tripping on acid & you literally were carrying the band? But while Mr. Gilmour tried to answer Howard would bombard him with another idiotic question before he could even try to refute.

    Back in O.C. Calif when I was 30 my wife heard a commercial on the radio about a David Gilmour show coming up. Knowing I am a Floyd fan she called the radio station (KMET - LA, “The Mighty Met”) to get information on the concert, The DJ on live radio Cynthia Fox…. said...."Congratulations, YOU are caller number 10, YOU just won tickets to the show and the Sound Check Party before the show"...
    I met David Gilmour back stage. He gave us both a signed album that I have in my music room. We talked for 22 minutes. I called him…“The Master Of The Stratocaster” He smiled. I told him his music will stand the test of time with anything from Beethoven or Mozart. He smiled even bigger. I asked if I could shake both his hands that make such great guitar solos, he smiled bigger and said “Sure” and shook both hands at the same time, making a cross between us, I smiled HUGE. Hard to explain how awesome that moment was in my life. I asked him to describe his technique of playing guitar, he replied… “I strike a note, bend it, shake it and then release it”…. Yes, he does that quite well, better than any other guitarist I know. . I told him in my eyes he’s a “Legend“. He thanked me and said “Enjoy the show”…. during the concert after the song “Money” he looked right at me and said…. “On saxophone, another Legend, Mr. Raphael Ravenscroft” … acknowledging my comment to him. It is my favorite moment in over 300 shows I’ve seen.

    How tasteful his finger picked rendition is.. very soulful and heartfelt.
    After all those questions you’d rather not answer, but decide to anyways, and show your quiet vulnerability.
    Especially when he looks the interviewer in the eye at the end of the pattern of wish you were here. The interviewer misssed the fact that Dave opened himself up to him, and he missed it. That’s a very vulnerable place to put yourself in the context of getting to know someone and opening your heart up for those to see. If the interviewer didn’t see that I sure as hell did.

      Not to mention that Gilmour is a tough interview, regardless. He has to trust someone in order for anyone to get anything out of him. In another interview, he actually stated that his wife thinks he might be Autistic, which certainly hits the mark. In yet another, Sampson (his wife) stated that he communicates through his music and isn't really very verbal. Getting any type of emotion verbally from him might be like pulling teeth.
      He's thoughtful and chooses his words carefully--not at all gregarious--unlike Waters, who will (can and has) talk the ears off of any willing victim.
      I was particularly impressed with how, when you mentioned The Wall and his hackles got up, how you were able to articulate WHY you'd asked him about it, and he came back around. Truly a unique talent!

      @@Moonmaedyn I think you’ve hit the nail on the head about the silence between the questions. When I’m involved in filming an interview I always stress to the camera person that it’s often after the interviewee has spoken that there’s a pause .. and in that pause you can almost see on their face as their thoughts impel a further, often deeper, additional point/ observation/ confession.
      I like that you picked up on my response to David’s dislike of my Wall question. The lesson there for the interviewer is to have a clear focus on the key issues and to keep steering - in that case rather doggedly ! - towards them.

      Like I stated earlier, I have conducted many interviews myself, and you'd be surprised (or not!) at the things someone will disclose if given the chance.
      The last round of interviews I conducted concerned the sale, and eventual closing of one of the last industrial steel manufacturing plants in the country. One of the interviewees actually burst into tears about how he'd placed his job over his family for decades, and what a terrible husband/father he was.
      I never expected that. I don't think HE did, either. It's almost like you become a therapist sometimes! @@JOHNEDGINTONDOCUMENTARIES

    Pink Floyd is David to me. It's his guitar that drew me in and made me stay. The stuff with Syd, before David joined the band, isn't my favorite. I feel for this group of (then) young men who were trying to build something, had it in their grasp, and then one person in the group could no longer participate. It must have felt like their world was ending. I'm glad they were able to persuade David to join them. This is a fantastic interview.

      I've seen the Wall with Roger. But as a self proclaimed guitarist, to Feel every bend Gilmour makes, I couldn't have a life changing moment without him a few hundred feet in front of me, scratching my brain on how lucky I am that he stayed in some shanty hotel room to play for me and my standers round for what he was a genius of making. I would easily say out of all the shows I've seen, a Gimlour show would be at the top. Bar none. I hope to get that chance, but who knows.
