Premiere Draw
The all-important numbers for this draw were 32, 45, 46 and 59, meaning that our winners today are: Ulli (who wins a signed programme from the ‘Remember That Night’ premieres, plus an Odeon Leicester Square VIP pass), Paul Sexton, Robyn, and Joe from Canada (who each win a programme and a pass).
Congratulations to you. Please let me know where your prizes should be sent.
There’ll be another prize draw on Friday, with US-only exclusives of the ‘Remember That Night’ DVD up for grabs. If you don’t want to be considered for either a Best Buy, or Borders, disc (the former includes a three-track CD, the latter comes with a rather nice poster), please speak up.
Here’s some more from Phil Taylor.
I’d be interested to hear which three guitars you’d choose, by the way…
If you could hypnotize David into handing over three of his guitars to you, which would they be and why? (Buffalo Phil)
Why stop at three?
I just read on this site that David is a “Gooner”. Are you a “Gooner” also? (Barbara Phillips)
Man. United for ever.
In your opinion, which delivers the ‘true’ Floyd tone, the Pete Cornish P-2 or the newer G-2? (Randall Yeager)
Neither, David has almost never used Pete Cornish distortion pedals – a popular misconception. He has them in pedal boards, but only as alternates to his favourites, and as separate pedals. He has tried them (as he has many other makes: Rat, Boss HM2, etc.), but his choice is nearly always EH Big Muff, BK Butler Tube Driver, and, in the earlier days, a Fuzz Face or a Colorsound Overdriver.
My 3 guitars:
I’m not guitar expert, but I’m always impressed by sound of David’s guitars in:
- WYWH Live 8 (probably Gibson Acoustic, something)
- This Heaven (AOL sessions) also Gibson, but Les Paul
- Comfortably Numb (In Concert with Robert Wyatt, I’m thinking about electric for that one),
I wonder if David has ever played Gibson SG or V Flying, I do not remember to see any photos with those type of guitars,
Have a wonderful weekend,
Tomasz

I bet Matt can come up with a Spinal Tap image of David and a Flying V.
Thanks.
Andrew
My must haves would be:
The Black Strat
The ’55 Fender Esquire
The S/N 0001 Stratocaster
Hi!
This site is online for two years now? Why didn’t I find it earlier???
Congratulations, FEd and good luck for the next x years. May the server always be with you
There are guitars to choose? I’m not a guitar-player but, like Phil I would’nt stop at three:
the black Strat and anything else what looks like Les Paul
Have a nice weekend and not too much trouble with christmas shopping

[A certain team from Manchester, Barbara. They've won a few league titles and big, shiny cups in recent years, back when David Beckham's hair was all blonde and floppy. - Features Editor]
Ahh, finally a name I recognize, David Beckham. He is in our news a lot here in the States, since he moved here. You’re right about the hair, it looks almost shaved off now.
It has been very interesting to read all of Phil’s answers. Even for us non-guitar geeks.
Thanks for the info Fed. I think I will be a Gooner, just because I like the name!
[I suspect that 'Becks' kept all the hair that he didn't want on his head in an old sock, and now stuffs it down the front of his pants whenever the Armani people come calling. - Features Editor]
nice quote from david about led zeppelin and a possible floyd reunion (click my name):
“i saw the led zeppelin show and it was brilliant. as to whether they should do more shows, they should do what makes them happy. regarding pink floyd, we do what makes us happy. what makes me happy is making my music on my own and touring, which i have just done.”
[Absolutely, and that should always be the final word on the matter. - Features Editor]
Well, saw this blog and wonder if any of you out there would know, or if Phil Taylor by chance may have a record.
A few years ago I bought an old Black face Fender twin reverb (All my pocket money at 45 years old then) a bit tired and missing its tilt legs and a nice green light on the front instead of the red one.
Anyway had it all put back together and a few things serviced and got on with using it, what a sound!!
Anyway bumped into my pal who sold it to me and just in idle conversation he drops in “oh yes that belonged to David Gilmour!” What The Dave Gilmour? Yes, he said loads of people were after it, I just got there first…
So honestly it’s not for sale until I get old and infirm but does anyone know? I am a massive fan of Dave’s playing and it would be nice to know if it was his and it is recorded anywhere in his hands, much appreciated.
it is serial number A00460, supposed to be 64-65.
bye all!
[Will try and find out for you, Shaun. - Features Editor]
FEd, should we take this as a hint that a “giveaway” from David Gilmour from his inventory is in the works???
[We're not going to be giving away David's guitars, no. Keep dreaming. - Features Editor]
How I could even come up with such a silly thought … I beg your pardon. I must be working way too hard these days. I do like to dream about it though.
Hope you have a marvelous weekend, FEd and all!
[There's nothing wrong with dreaming... - Features Editor]
[I suspect that 'Becks' kept all the hair that he didn't want on his head in an old sock, and now stuffs it down the front of his pants whenever the Armani people come calling. - Features Editor]
Well, he has claimed to have had more injuries since he came here and sat on the bench for some games. Thanks my friend, now I know why, he is trying to keep the sock in place!
Only you Fed could come up with that answer. Thanks for the laugh! (and my husband is still laughing) Have a good weekend.
