It was written by Richard Wright and Roger Waters and sung by David Gilmour (harmonies by Wright). My problem is Portnoy’s opinion just doesn’t add up. Us and Them is a song from English psychedelic / progressive rock band Pink Floyds 1973 album, Dark Side of the Moon.

If fans like Portnoy don’t like it they don’t have to buy the album or download the songs. But Pink Floyd can go on with or without Waters. Dark Side Of The Moon is, in my opinion, the greatest rock album ever. No doubt that Pink Floyd was legendary when it was Waters and Gilmour working with, against or off each other in the studio. You’ll recall Waters did just that to Gilmour and company back in 1986. He didn’t take Waters, Gilmour, Wright and drummer Nick Mason to court for continuing under the name Pink Floyd. Capitol records, 1973 Us, and them And after all were only ordinary men Me, and you God only knows its not what we would choose to do 'Forward' he cried, from the rear And the front rank died And the general sat, and the lines on the map Moved from side to side Black, and blue And who knows which is which and who is who Up and Down And in.
He never gave any of the band members permission to continue. As far as I know Barrett never gave Waters his blessing to do that. Gaining a following as a psychedelic band, they were distinguished for their extended compositions, sonic experimentation, philosophical lyrics and elaborate live shows, and became a leading band of the progressive rock genre. If Gilmour is disrespecting Waters then that must mean Waters disrespected Barrett for continuing the band way back in 1968. Pink Floyd was an English rock band formed in London in 1965. This is where Portnoy’s point loses its thunder. With all due respect to Portnoy, who must be a passionate Pink Floyd fan otherwise he wouldn’t feel so strongly about this topic, he’s not making any sense.Īny long-time Pink Floyd fan will tell you that Syd Barrett was not only a founding member of the band but he also came up with the band’s name and, more importantly, wrote and composed most of the songs in the early days including Arnold Layne and See Emily Play, two early Pink Floyd hits.Īfter Barrett was out of the band, Pink Floyd continued. Black and blue And who knows which is which and who is who. And the general sat and the lines on the map moved from side to side. Forward he cried from the rear and the front rank died.
The string-heavy arrangement of 'Another Brick in the Wall (Part II),' sounding like the score. God only knows its not what we would choose to do. 'Us and Them' and 'The Great Gig in the Sky,' two of Pink Floyds most beautiful compositions, lend themselves well to the symphonic treatment, especially the latters use of solo violin to re-create the originals astonishing Claire Torry vocal solo. War is a never ending cycle based of greedy nations trying to own what is not theirs. While we welcome feedback, if you pop into modmail being a stick, you are less likely to be taken seriously or with actual concern, so please take that into consideration.“What’s this about a new ‘Pink Floyd’ album? Last I checked, Waters is no longer in the band and Wright and Barrett are dead … If these are leftovers from ‘The Division Bell’ sessions, then just put ‘em up on a special edition release! It’s disrespectful to Roger and everything he built for all those years! Just do a solo album, Dave …” Us, and them And after all were only ordinary men. To summarise Pink Floyd’s Us and them is a song released on their 1973 album The Dark Side of the Moon which depicts war as being senseless and a waste of people over resources.
