The John Edgington?

He’s very humble. He is one of the greatest guitarists. His guitar solos sound like they are breathing. When I was young, I thought he was using an effect. But it’s really his incredible playing style. Amazing singer, too. The smoothness of his vocals mixed with Water’s neurotic, screaming vocals worked so well. The combo was brilliant.

Gilmour is an English gentleman from a different time. Those days are long gone in the UK; so refreshing to watch.

Humility, simplicity, calm, no pedantry, no arrogance, just an artist talking about his life, his work, David Gilmour, a beautiful person who created beautiful music.

David is my favorite musician. No one can play the guitar like he can.

I just love how respectful the interviewer is. Lets David speak without interrupting. What a fantastic interview!

In other words he didn’t learn how to interview from Howard Stern. If he had he would ask questions like: You really dislike Roger Waters don’t you? So Roger Waters was like dictator, you really hated working with him didn’t you? So you & Roger Waters used to get into fisticuffs quite often, how many times did you have to kick his ass? But you are so much better a guitarist than Syd Barrett, didn’t get you get angry when he was tripping on acid & you literally were carrying the band? But while Mr. Gilmour tried to answer Howard would bombard him with another idiotic question before he could even try to refute.

And 101 minutes, no less! Thank you so much for a peek into David's life! High school in the 1970's would simply NOT HAVE BEEN THE SAME without Pink Floyd as a MAJOR soundtrack and influence. . .

Gilmour is a class act. He"s obviously a very smart and talented musician, yet comes across as a very humble and grounded bloke...more so than Waters in my opinion. His guitar solos are next level.

Could listen for hours and days when David is talking 🤘

Pink Floyd in Pompeii was simply the best. It was magical!

It would be a dream come true to watch him in London … My favorite band of all time

David's lucid mental state obviously extends into his style of guitar playing - nothing but praise for this man...

Back in O.C. Calif when I was 30 my wife heard a commercial on the radio about a David Gilmour show coming up. Knowing I am a Floyd fan she called the radio station (KMET - LA, “The Mighty Met”) to get information on the concert, The DJ on live radio Cynthia Fox…. said...."Congratulations, YOU are caller number 10, YOU just won tickets to the show and the Sound Check Party before the show"... I met David Gilmour back stage. He gave us both a signed album that I have in my music room. We talked for 22 minutes. I called him…“The Master Of The Stratocaster” He smiled. I told him his music will stand the test of time with anything from Beethoven or Mozart. He smiled even bigger. I asked if I could shake both his hands that make such great guitar solos, he smiled bigger and said “Sure” and shook both hands at the same time, making a cross between us, I smiled HUGE. Hard to explain how awesome that moment was in my life. I asked him to describe his technique of playing guitar, he replied… “I strike a note, bend it, shake it and then release it”…. Yes, he does that quite well, better than any other guitarist I know. . I told him in my eyes he’s a “Legend“. He thanked me and said “Enjoy the show”…. during the concert after the song “Money” he looked right at me and said…. “On saxophone, another Legend, Mr. Raphael Ravenscroft” … acknowledging my comment to him. It is my favorite moment in over 300 shows I’ve seen.

In another interview, he actually stated that his wife thinks he might be Autistic, which certainly hits the mark. In yet another, Sampson (his wife) stated that he communicates through his music and isn't really very verbal. Getting any type of emotion verbally from him might be like pulling teeth. He's thoughtful and chooses his words carefully--not at all gregarious--unlike Waters, who will (can and has) talk the ears off of any willing victim. I was particularly impressed with how, when you mentioned The Wall and his hackles got up, how you were able to articulate WHY you'd asked him about it, and he came back around.
