At first this song was a guilty pleasure but now I’ve come to terms with the fact that it just plain kicks ass. Sexy, sexy and um…did I mention sexy? The pre-chorus vocals after the guitar solo still make the hair on my neck stand up.

Best to be played loud.

It was reported on Billboard that since Roger Waters agreed to David Gilmour’s request to join him at a recent Charity event and, more importantly, sing two part harmony on “To know him is to love him” Gilmour would reciprocate by guesting on Comfortably Numb for ONE date on Water’s upcoming Wall tour.

Two reactions to this development: if you read the article there appears to be a shared campy sense of humor and a very real mending of fences between the two of them that, dare I say, makes the impossible notion of them playing together more in future - remotely possible.

Taking a “page” from the Page/Plant tour, a Waters/Gilmour collaboration would NOT be Pink Floyd - which I think is one of Gilmour’s hang up’s. He just doesn’t want to do Floyd with Waters (which is strange since he has already effected the Floyd legacy with a non-Water’s version of the band. So his reasons can’t be the “sanctity” of Pink Floyd - but that’s another discussion). Now that Richard Wright has passed it makes that reunion impossible. But from all the stuff I’ve read recently a co-billed tour seems like something they could consider…?

Here’s the Billboard article with some choice quotes from Water’s:

Damn, that’s pretty sweet.
