Guitar World Magazine Presents: Pink Floyd

by Guitar World Magazine (Editor), Alan DiPerna

Pink Floyd's extraordinary career has now spanned four decades, from their early days pushing the cutting edge of British psychedelic pop to their massive successes with moody, conceptual masterpieces like Dark Side of the Moon , Wish You Were Here and The Wall , to their acrimonious split with Roger Waters and finally, the immense stadium tours that followed. Throughout, Pink Floyd has influenced everyone from David Bowie to Nine Inch Nails to Radiohead, and their albums continue to have timeless appeal. Now, premier interview journalist Alan di Perna and the editors of Guitar World have collected penetrating interviews and insights into Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Nick Mason, and Rick Wright to create a vivid portrait of a notoriously reclusive band.

Stumbled upon this by chance. I am/was aware of Guitar World but have never even perused a copy, never mind read it. This was about what I expected with a bit of repetition in the articles but not bad overall.
