He is lamenting about a father he never knew. The Nazi imagery is there because Waters’s dad died in WWII. Walker, the school system in post-WWII Britain was very abusive. He thinks Waters should just “grow a new pair of balls”, as he sings. And as for the “Another Brick in the Wall”? He thinks it’s wrong to have all that Nazi imagery and use it as a comparison to school. And that’s not me saying that, that’s your former partners as well. He has the gall to call Roger Waters pretentious and has a bird with the word “ego” to represent his feelings about him. Doug Walker sings through most of the video, and I hate that. “Goodbye Blue Sky” gets a really bad parody on this. I do listen to current music, but I tried Slipknot and they weren’t my thing. I truly hope he doesn’t agree with Doug about this album, because that will make me think even less than I already do about Slipknot and their brand of “music”. So having Corey there to play a gag at the end doesn’t bother me. I’m not going to rip on Slipknot here, because that’s not relevant to the discussion. Corey Taylor is basically being Bob Geldof, for those of you who’ve seen the movie. The video begins with Corey Taylor of Slipknot fame watching a VHS which is actually a reference to the way the movie begins. It tells the story of Pink, a musician who is descending into madness. That needs to be understood before you listen. The Wall, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, those are narrative albums. The second kind is a narrative, where all the songs are more like chapters in a story. The first kind is where all the songs are around a specific theme, like Dark Side of the Moon or The Division Bell were. They don’t do “ordinary”) It’s a concept album. It is not The Beatles’ Yellow Submarine or Help. In fact, the movie and the album are 4 years apart.
The movie The Wall is not necessary for listening to the album. But not the way Doug Walker did.įirst of all, let me correct Doug Walker. There are some that fans don’t celebrate as much as The Wall, Dark Side of the Moon, or even Animals. I am not going to say The Wall is something everyone will like. There are some Pink Floyd albums I don’t go back to.
Now I am not going to say Pink Floyd had the perfect discography. I have decided I will NEVER watch Doug Walker again, no matter what stunt he pulls again. As a Pink Floyd fan, I was angry about this. He’d even timed it good, because last year was the 40th anniversary of the release of the album (he actually had the video go up in September, not December when the album was actually released.). That made me stop.Īnd then I heard about his parody of Pink Floyd’s album The Wall and the movie adaptation. And then I heard about Change the Channel, and everything his former partners said happened. I loved the anniversary shows, where he’d get everyone who was on the channel with him. He eventually changed it to Channel Awesome, to make you think he was getting more than just him. I used to be a huge fan of the Nostalgia Critic back when he used Blip to load his videos on his website, That Guy With The Glasses.
