David Gilmour Vs Roger Waters

What is more important for a musician? Heart or voice? OK! Heart is just a blood pumping machine. Brain or voice? This was precisely my question tonight. Is there an answer to it? Probably not.

Waters is a GREAT composer, Gilmour is a GREAT singer & guitarist. When Waters sang "Shine On" as a tribute to Syd Barrett(I'll rave about Syd Barrett some other time, meanwhile check him out on youtube), I missed Gilmour. But, I dont think Gilmour can ever compose a "Another Brick on The Wall" which happens to be my alltime favorite rock song.

When waters and Gilmour split up Waters took animations & flying pigs, and Gilmour took lasers. Waters took the brain and Gilmour took the voice. I cannot help but feel sad like many other Pink Floyd fans.

Concert ROCKED. Started off with "In the Flesh" just as I expected and ended with "Comfortably Numb". For the penultimate song, I could've paid any money(Yes it was "Brick on the wall Part-II"). But I missed David Gilmour.
