Status Updates From Comfortably Numb: The Insid...

[an interaction between Bob Ezrin and Roger Waters when recording The Wall]
So very early on, there was a moment when Roger was pushing me and I turned around and said, “Read my lips, motherfucker, you cannot talk to me like that!” And the rest of the band were instantly on side, going, “Yessss!” And I think that held me in good stead from that point onwards.’

Peter Watts - roadie / later road manager for the band … and laughter on Dark Side of the Moon - & Naomi Watts dad

Fans know the story of the pig from the Animals cover, but I hadn’t heard of the pyramid incident- maybe that was a jab by Alan Parsons (via Pyramania) for Gilmour saying DSotM would have been as good with any good engineer

‘One of These Days’, seemed tied to the Floyd of old. With its ominous bass riff, BBC Radiophonic Workshop-style sound effects, and Nick Mason hissing the words, ‘One of these days I’m going to cut you into little pieces’, it sounded like a vamped-up, prog rock version of the Doctor Who theme tune spliced with The Tornados’ ‘Telstar’.

haha - as a fan of Dr Who I’m surprised I never made that connection 🪛

The Megadeaths - early band name… different spelling, but I did not know this 😀
