What Pink Floyd’s “The Wall” Cover Would Actually Look Like…

If it really was on a wall in 1979.

A manky wall, somewhere in Islington
Note the following:

a) RW 4 RW. Initially cryptic, is easily understood when one considers the narcissism of Roger Waters.

b) Whilst sadly the crude NF written upon the wall is probably for the National Front, nasty racist group that they were, it is also possible that it is short for NO FLOYD!

c) Some wag has made a Chad like Syd Barrett joke, not comprehending how much worse the album could have been if Syd had been there. Well, at least bad in a different way.

d) Oh that I was a boy and could piss so magnificently.

    Jesus, Jesus, what’s it all about, trying to crush these little ingrates into shape (Pink Floyd – The Hero’s Return – The Final Cut)

    you know how Bil Wyman’s solo albums were all really dull? He was in a great band, but without the real talent he was, well, the bassist doing a solo record.

    Syd leaves, Waters takes over and the whole band become sidemen on the bassist’s solo records, tediously wanking away for years on end.

    You deserve all the abuse you got over this, you fucking idiot

    Well, I have had just an absolute ball reading this. There were some lovely treats here. Misspellings, abusive vitriolic comments and fanaticsm, not to mention the appearance of a hobbit.

    I am a PF fan and have seen ‘The Wall’ movie about thirty times and yes I love the album. However, I couldn’t care less if the person next to me thinks they are shit. In fact I say, “good for you and more power to your elbow”. Why on earth people get so desperate that others MUST like what they like is beyond me. Do you really need another’s opinion to validate your own music tastes?

    That said I liked your artwork Tanya, good on ya and you know who really rocks? YOU DO – because you have had people replying to this for 18 months and still counting. Nice work indeed!

    Al, thanks for that link, creepy stuff indeed.

    Cheers

    Hey assfuck, why do you want to dis on Pink Floyd. They’re the best fucking band ever, as apposed to those fucking faggots like “Soulja Boy” and “Flo Rida” and “Lil’ _____.” Can you say that any of those fucking peckerheads have platinum records as well as a band that has been able to pull their shit together and be together for 40 fucking years? Nope, in fact, “Soulja Boy” will be long gone tomorrow. Why? Because he’s a nobody, just like all those fucking faggot rappers.

    So take that and blow it out your ass, you lace curtain motherfucker! Hope you rot in hell for the things you’ve done, you fucking piece of shit!

  8. Tom on 10 February 2008 #

    Joseph, I’m sorry Soulja Boy didn’t answer your letter, I’m sure he was just too busy that day. :( You’ve got to remember he gets a lot of letters like that though! Most of them are from women I’d guess, but he’s a nice guy, he doesn’t discriminate.

  9. fdsfdsf on 4 May 2008 #

    Hah, I love Pink Floyd, and I still thought that was pretty clever (not to mention truthful). Get over it, people. It was just a joke.

  10. Ashley Pomeroy on 14 October 2008 #

    I’m surprised that no-one has commented on this posting yet. I remember finding a copy of The Wall on vinyl in a record shop in Plymouth one day, long ago, and the previous owner had done something similar – he had written graffiti all over the front of the record. I’m not if that would increase the value or not.

    My other memory of that shop is that it had half a dozen copies of Kissing the Pink’s “Naked”. And the clear version of Faust’s debut album. I wonder if it’s still going?

    You have all right to belive Pinnk Floyd is shit.

    HOWEVER.

    THEY ARE NOT.

    I have listened to Pink Floyd ever since I was a young kid, and I’m proud to say that none of their magic has deteriorated. You’re allowed to belive what you want, don’t take this the wrong way.

    Just don’t be surprised when 900,000,000,000 fans all knock down your front door and burn your every treasured belonging. Just a tad warning before you ever post anything this cruel again.

    I was laughing until I realized what I was seeing.

    Ah, well. Have fun dissing other people… I suppose…

    crawls into corner and plays “Hey You” REALLY loud)

    Heh heh…

  12. Al Ewing on 29 March 2009 #

    Clearly, Pink Floyd fans are crazed arsonists who seek to enforce belief in their ‘magic’ through terrorist strikes on YOUR home.

    Brown needs to wake up to this menace in our midst and bring back hanging – or is he one of THEM?

  13. Les Tennant on 30 March 2009 #

    I am really really surprised that there are 900,000,000,00 Floyd fans. are we including the actually dead here as as well as the DEAD INSIDE lololol?

  14. Belfegor on 28 June 2009 #

    Tanya you rock! You have more balls and honesty than all these self-deluded idiots. Calling Pink Floyd crap would be offensive to the crap. Their musical diahrreah fucked up a whole generation like all these nitwits who are always trying so hard to convince themselves that they are so special and so great. They are a sad joke; just a bunch of conceited hippies with big fat egos. Their music is the expresion of pretentiousness and cheap elitism. Just look at the comments of their loyal fans; it’s always so laughable to see how they react when someone dares to crap on their “geniuses.” That album cover was great and let’s hope that Waters goes to hell too.

  15. Belfegor on 10 July 2009 #

    Tanya you rock! But calling Pink Floyd shit would be very disrespectful and mean … to shit. Don’t be so mean to shit. That band is the diahreeah that the 60s and 70s evacuated. Their boring, stupid music is just the expression of elitism and self-importance, and their fans are a sad bunch of self-deluded poseurs. It’s always fun to see how they react when somebody gives his piece of mind about them. Just look at their comments; they sound like a bunch of outraged muslims crying for Jihad because someone made a cartoon of Muhammad. You have more balls than all of them, and let’s hope that Mr. Waters goes down there soon.

  16. Vlizzle on 24 July 2009 #

    You are a complete fucking moron. It’s bad enough you don’t like Pink Floyd, but you don’t like any music at all. You need to get a life. Music is the one universal language. You must lead a very sorry existence.

  17. pink floyd lover on 30 July 2009 #

    you fucker you dont understand what is real music pink floyd is better than the shit that you hear stupid motherfucker roger waters is not a narcisist an first listen to the music an then you will understan the real meaning of the letter ok fuck you or maybe you are saying that shit because you have a brain damage.

  18. Uwe on 8 August 2009 #

    What I love about Pink Floyd:
    is their music and their lyrics which have accompanied me since I was 16 and that more than 30 years ago. And the older I get the better I understand.
    Their music questions our world and how we see it.

    What I hate about people:
    intolerance, stupidity, fundamentalism!!

    Sorry guys allmost all of you do not understand what your beloved band tries to teach you: TOLERANCE

    I find this new wall design brilliant. I had to laugh!
    Dont take things too serious or you may start looking like those fundamentalists, Nazis, Commies,(… you name it) whose only joy is to HATE!

  19. Doug on 9 October 2009 #

    “Blah blah blah,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Well all in all it seems as though most of the Floyd fans have just put another brick in the wall. As a devout Floyd fan I am disappointed in our responses. I’m looking at the reviews and I feel some of the same things you all do,,,,, @ the same time I think of the lyrics of 2 Pac’s Changes. Unfortunately this is something that The Pink was trying to open our minds to. pulling us away from personal and Nationalistic views to move us toward Unitarianism. We need to stop using differences as a way to point the finger and use them as a way to unite the masses. no matter what your nationality, race ,creed or religious affiliation or personal views, we all care about the people around us and those we love, we want to be respected for our views and understood. When It comes right down to the line, we are all just living within ourselves and the wall that separates us is built by ourselves. Just listen to Sorrow by You Know Who. ” one world one soul, time passes the river rolls.” When it comes right down to it most of us will never see past ourselves. Grow Up and live by the rule you want others to live by and “make this world a better place.” Oh, and by the way before I forget. ” I kissed a girl and I liked it.” Music Shows us the best and worst in all of us. Get over it and don’t hate –

    nothing is like pink floyd. if you don’t pink floyd thats one thing. but just because you dont like something doesnt mean you have to go and talk shit about musical poineers. for example: i dont like santana. but i dont go talk shit about him to his fans ans crap!!!!!

    No, she won’t be a chav..
    She’ll be a spotty little girl trying her damn best to be popular and cool by ragging on bands that changed music for the better.
    Just because you don’t appreciate it love, don’t mean you have to broadcast it…unless of course you are excactly as a say you are and you want attention.
    Grow.The.Fuck.Up.
    Cunt.

  24. Good ol' Muffin on 11 January 2010 #

    I think “The Wall” was several degrees less important a project than “Captain Beaky” in the annals of popular culture.

  25. seira_g on 17 January 2010 #

    Fuck u. u have no idea what good music is. I hate all music, my ASS.

  26. No One on 20 June 2010 #

    I cannot decide which is worse: the drawing, the people talking about how much Pink Floyd sucks, the people making death threats to Tanya, or the fact that anyone cares about this. I don’t even know why I came here.

  29. xXananymousXx on 26 October 2010 #

    “That one don’t look right” “If I had my way I’d have you shot” the wall is one of the best albums of all time and you prob dont know these lyrics cuz your a 12 year old trolling screw off

  31. Martin on 19 November 2010 #

    HOW DARE U 2 DO THIS?! pink floyd was, and still is one of the greatest bands of all time! i mean, sereausly! what are u? a fucking justin beaver fan? u dream about HER everynight or u have a freaking photo of her under ur pillow?! or maybe u just like one of those disney´s motherfucker that pretend to be musician, like hanna montana or the jonas brothers?!

  32. Myrtle Pink Floyd on 24 November 2010 #

    This was written from a person who doesn’t only hate Pink Floyd but ALL MUSIC. So there is no need to discuss that that person is an idiot.
    You hate music therefore you hate everything nice created in the world. Btw Pink Floyd is one of the best bands and you are not to judge these things when clearly you hate all music and know nothing about it. Get a life. Stop commenting on the stuff you dont like in your sad miserable life. If you hate music then why bother writing about it. How can you expect not to get hate comments?
    Syd Barrett was a GREAT musician, greater than you will ever be.

  33. morfinh on 24 November 2010 #

    How dare u say such things about Pink Floyd?!?!?
    They were a great band.
    And after all, u really have to read their lyrics, see their work, thei music etc before you start critisizing them like that. I threw a look at your web and found out that u ‘ve written about…like..hundreds of bands. You re like the guy that knows everything, or sth?
    You have to know a thing about music to judge it.
    And finally, the fact that “you hate music” does not give you the right to say such things about it and underestimate or laugh at what hundreds of other people love.

  34. FloydLover on 10 January 2011 #

    I Personally like Pink Floyd, But if you don’t that’s fine.
    To each his own…

  35. john on 25 January 2011 #

    i bet the bitch who posted this listens to lady gaga and all the mainstream shit lol

  36. Junior Godoy on 15 February 2011 #

    You Wrong People… Even if you’re not good at it, don’t criticize those who do it well!!

  37. Pink Floyd Fan on 16 May 2011 #

    You’re saying Pink Floyd are “Shit”!? Holy fucking bollocks!!! Mainstream music like Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber and Soulja Boy is SHIT, in fact mainstream music is a complete load of BOLLOCKS! You’re probably one of these chavs that listens to “N-DUBZ” or whatever the rest of those shit new chav bands are called! Pink Floyd were the best band ever! You’re just being contrary for the sake of it!!!

  39. JessEatShit on 18 July 2011 #

    You see, I do respect everyone’s opinion in anything they belive. But To beleive that Pink Floyd is “shit”, then to post it on a website is a bit absurd. I’m sure people would rather an opinion of a band from a person that actually likes music. Since you hate music, this is probably the opinion you give to every other band. So i suggest you stop wasting your time criticizing a band that you knew you weren’t even going to like in the first place. This is the most pointless blog(or whatever this is) i have ever seen. How about writing about something you like for once, instead of perioding all over everyone’s opinion?
