Heard on the radio today that legendary guitarist with Pink Floyd, Dave Gilmour sold his £3.4 million mansion and gave all the money to a charity to help with homeless people.

now isnt that very cool !

[sinjin]

very cool indeed. btw, greatest slide guitarist ever.

[Zardon]

yeah he is a great guitarist, dont know about greatest slide player ever though. id have to give that to Ry Cooder.

[toddsmack2k]

Very cool indeed. Be nice if more people of that status gave more of themselves. Also i agree with he is one of the best guitar players.

[UberLord]

Very cool thing to do. Lets hope the beneficaries don't piss it up the wall ......

[Chaos]

He sure does have a distinct style of guitar playing. The last time I saw him live was incredible. It was Floyd not his solo tour but it was still great.

[Zardon]

going off topic a little here (in the offtopic is that possible? ermm)......... Chaos when Cyborg sees that signature he is going to be jealous ! he is the biggest homer fan out there

[Chaos]

hehehehe I figure any good person has a little Homer in them..... I knew when I was designing that someone here was big into Homer but I could not remember whom it was....Sorry Cyborg didn't mean to steal your hero for my sig

EDIT: Odd what happens after a doobie or two when you start playing around with Photoshop

[choppy9er]

Great guitar player and human being,but Duane Allman was the greatest slide player ever.Choppy

[Falstaff]

Lot's of blues slide guitar players out there too. But I am surprised with David Gilmours reputation that he gave so much. He must have had something more than philanthropic satisfaction from this, but he is an artist, and we are know to lead with our hearts not our minds, perhaps this will knock down more bricks in the wall.

It's okay, i'll forgive you this time, but only because I haven't had homer in my avatar for the last week or so.

I think I would have to give that trophy to Robert Johnson(30's)
I don't remember Dave Gilmour being noted as a Slide player. HE'S JUST A GREAT PLAYER. One of my FAV's

Now on slide I prefer the Allman Brothers style..
But newer .. Dave Hole just kicks A@@
Do I have a "HOWL YA" WYRE ????????

Edit:
Got caught up in the music. Ya Zardon very cool of Dave Gilmour to do that

[WyreTheWolf]

Agreed, Dave Hole is amazing.....

[Crazy Diamond]

I must profess my devoted support for all gilmour does too. I'm so pleased he's still going and making an impression on the scene. He's what made Pink Floyd in my opinion, and I can't wait till he releases something again.

[kinetic]

I'm a huge Gilmour, Pink Floyd fan and I must dig that solo album of his out that I have!

[Rayder]

Wish I had that kind of money....not that I would give it all to charity.....just wish I had that kind of money.


But yeah, that's a pretty cool thing to do for one who is so fortunate and talented.
