This looks pretty cool:

 

TRIBUTE TO THE WALL COMING SOON

 

Tribute to Pink Floyd's The Wall

A lot of interest is growing over a forthcoming album playing tribute to Pink Floyd's The Wall. As the creation of the album is still in its early stages, we don't have all of the detail, but we have another update for you following on from our last one on 28th April.

 

Billy Sherwood [occasional member of Yes - added by GG] is producing the tribute to Roger Waters' 1979 masterpiece, for Cleopatra Records, and he recently contacted us with an update to let us know the mammoth list of musicians involved in the project. After seeing some of the great musicians involved, it is clear that this is shaping up to be a very interesting project indeed!

 

Billy told us: "It is coming along quite nicely and I should be mixing it very soon. I'm a long-time huge fan of Pink Floyd and especially The Wall. I have been working very hard to keep the over all integrity extremely high, as did everyone who played on it. I hope you like it!"

Lots of prog rock heavyweights there. Very impressive.

 

The presence of actor Malcolm McDowell is interesting. Perhaps his contribution will be, "If you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any pudding!"

 

I'll predict that either Steve Lukather or Steve Morse will do the "Comfortably Numb" solo.

Tribute albums usually suck, but there are some good names in here.

 

I have a file of a live performance at some British awards show where Kate Bush comes out and sings Comfortably Numb with Dave Gilmour. Maybe they could get kate involved on this. That's the only way I would even consider buying it...because tribute albums are always pointless.

I usually avoid tribute albums like the plague, but I must say that the list of musicians on this one is very impressive indeed.

 

Does that mean I'll go out and buy it? Well, at the end of the day it's still a tribute album, so, no f*cking way!
