Talk:Young Lust (song)

message: The article states, "The song has a distinctive, raw hard rock sound that stands out among Pink Floyd's body of work."
I don't think it sounds like standard hard rock--too slow and ponderous, and not especially loud. I always thought it had more of a bluesy feel to it. Might it be classed as blues rock? marbeh raglaim (talk) 10:57, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You must be kinda on the young side.  Rock music circa 1979 really didn't come much harder, without being Led Zeppelin or full-out heavy metal.  Compared to today's standards, of course, it's more funk/blues than anything else.  --63.25.117.29 (talk) 12:06, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Depends what you mean by young. I'm 31, and I've always been a big listener of classic rock. By 1979, there were indeed many non-metal, non-Zep songs that were harder than this one: stuff by Bad Company, for example. Pink Floyd is often hard to classify, using elements of hard rock instrumentation to produce mellow, jazzy melodies. In the case of this song, I think blues-rock is more descriptive. marbeh raglaim (talk) 01:50, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  I'm going to have to disagree with you guys on the Blues-rock thing. I've listened to enough Blues-rock to know that this song is nowhere near classifiable as Blues-rock. Anyone who listens to all kinds of rock genres would know that this song is Hard rock and Hard rock only (To be honest, I can't really hear any progressive rock in the song). Also, it doesn't matter if this song is considered something else today than it was when it first came out, the fact is that when a song is classified as a certain genre, that doesn't mean it changes over time. For example, The Who is without a doubt, a hard rock band but compared to today's hard rock sound which is more heavier, that doesn't mean they stop being a hard rock band does it? Anyways, calling "Young Lust" a Blues-rock song is out the question. It's genre is going to be "Hard rock" or at least "Hard rock, progressive rock" (but as I said, I fail to hear a prog rock sound in the song).  ~ Madroxxide17
This song is definitely progressive rock, as progressive rock can span over many different genres, including hard rock, and in the context of the album being a progressive concept album, where this song tells a part of the story, I think it would be more correct to have it labeled as progressive rock rahter than hard rock. 80.213.200.195 (talk) 13:44, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Genre 

message: I've started doing some minor to medium rewrites on the articles for the individual songs from The Wall. Regarding the "Film Version" section, I'm concerned about the following paragraph:
In the film, the scene with the attempted phone call, in which Pink learns his wife is cheating on him, occurs before "Young Lust" rather than at the end of it. The implications of the song are therefore slightly different. On the album, he is already unfaithful to his wife while on tour, making him a hypocrite when he is appalled at her own faithlessness. In the film, he is only seen with a groupie after he learns of his wife's affair, which shows the character in a more sympathetic light.
I'm concerned that this may be Original Synthesis, a form of original research. I'm not clear on the concept, and I don't think I'm very opposed to it personally, so I'll defer to the opinions of anyone else who wants to venture forth.

thread_title:  Original synthesis? 

message: I was curious as to what the tones were at the end of Young Lust -- specifically, when the operator redials the number to try it again.
So I wrote a program to decode MF tones, and the answer is:  KP 0 4 4 1 8 3 1 SThttp://krten.com/~rk/articles/rtenough.html.
I don't know if that's of interest to anyone.
Cheers,
