Roger that; I'll get confirmation of the cane sugar and/or corn syrup they put in standard Steinie real soon now. Or sometime before Christmas, anyhow.

And yes, both of the above are additives as far as beer is concerned.

I don't know of many beers that don't have sugar...so you'd best make sure 'Pure' doesn't have either of those sugars whilst you're at it you crazy diamond. Shine on.

This is why people from the Hutt and people from West Auckland tend to get on well.

It doesn't. Sez so on the label, dunnit? Water, malt, hops and yeast. Like that law in Germany that said you can't label something 'beer' which has anything else (like sugar) in it.

S'the whole point of marketing the 'pure' thing. Beer consumers are starting to cotton on to what the real stuff should taste like.

Come on, you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and buy me my dozen.

Really? I think that recording sounds kinda like... arse. Even at his best, Gilmour has lazy fingers; he's not a particularly good guitarist.

IMHO.

Agreed Delicate Sound of Thunder is not my fav by a long shot either but to label Gilmour "not particularly good" is laughable, if not foolish. Honestly man, get off the crack pipe

Guitarists get better with age & he has been shit hot for a long long time.

The 2nd song on the 1975 album "Animals" (Dogs) has a guitar solo in it, bout 3 or 4mins long, an epic effort & that was over 30 years ago!

Sound card: I have my Senn's plugged into an Audigy2 ZS. A great card when first released & still does a great job today. Runs my Logitech Z-2300's well & ran the Z-5500's well also when I had a set of them. When this card dies ill most likely upgrade to an "Auzentech X-FI Prelude 7.1".

The sky is the limit with audio as you well know & the industry has gone mad if you ask me, I mean who the EARTH pays USD$15,000 for a set of headphones ffs!! Are they 15 times better than a $1,000 pair?

Music bit rate: I converted my 200 odd CD collection to .mp3 format & all @ 320 kbps. Took an awful long time to do but well worth it..........until the 1TB RAID0 (4x250GB SATAII's) decided to drop, lost over 800GB of data

LOL.
I was watching and enjoying Gilmour playing live on the DVD I bought a few weeks ago, and #2Son (who has four guitars (five if you count mine), and plays guitar, bass, violin, piano and keyboards) says: "He's got crap technique, y'know!"
"Oh really?"
"Yeah - lookit him hanging his thumb over the top of the neck, and he's only using 3 fingers at most for most of the time!".
"I don't care - it sounds good."

Break out the blender, nothing like a magic mushroom milkshake and some 'Floyd to shake the weekend loose.

What was I listening to..? The Rock, I think it was. Whatever - whoever it was said back in the day, if you licked David Gilmour (or in fact any Floydie), you'd see flying unicorns. (All the LSD leaching out through the skin).
In fact, I suspect that would've been true of only Syd Barrett (RIP).
