Talk:Careful with That Axe, Eugene

message: "Careful With That Axe Eugene" is in fact the b-side to their 5th single, "Point Me At The Sky" 
the b-side to "It Would Be So Nice", their 4th single, was "Julia Dream" 
early versions of the song had the titles "Murderistic Women", or "Keep Smiling People" 
in 1969 it was included as part of the extended suite "The Man and The Journey", with yet another alternate name: "Beset By The Creatures of the Deep" 
throughout 1969 and 1970 Eugene was usually paired live with the song "Green Is the Colour", which segued into it
"Come In, Number 51 (Correct number?), Your Time Is Up" I think was another alternate title for the song. I forget when that title was used though. I'm not too certain. Absolutely Curtains 18:39, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

message: "a loud (and largely indecipherable) pictish rant" Picts states (correctly) that the language hasn't survived, so this strikes me as a bit unlikely. --84.92.81.68 15:36, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: "Pictish rant" is shorthand among Floyd collectors for Waters' habit of shouting gibberish in a Scottish accent during concerts. That bit should probably be changed to something less obscure.   GhostTrain 06:52, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It definitely needs to remain as a Pictish rant. After all, Waters did write the song "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict," not "Grooving with a Scottish Man Who Spoke an Ancient Dialect That Has Not Survived."

:Also Waters' screams are vocalizations, not instrumental. Would you call Great Gig instrumental just because it's not lyrical? -Vic
:: Yes. The voice can be used as an "instrument" as well as for singing words. Choirs often contribute to instrumentals.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.92.38.22 (talk) 05:05, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: It is an instrumental - as are "Atom Heart Mother", "One of These Days", "Talkin' Hawkin'", "A Saucerful of Secrets", "On the Run", "Signs of Life", "Terminal Frost", etc - all of which feature some kind of vocalisation. – Dyolf87 (talk) 16:18, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

message: If I remember correctly, somebody has fielded the idea of a page all about the Roger Waters scream.  I personally don't agree with this, but wonder if anyone else does.  --The guy with the axe - aaaaaaargh!!! (talk) 20:12, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: It was me. I suggested it 'cos it keeps coming up in different songs. Thanks, guys! MartinSFSA (talk) 06:57, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I suppose we could mention it in the Roger Waters article, though.  --The guy with the axe - aaaaaaargh!!! (talk) 19:41, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Why? It's not unique to Roger Waters – anyone can do it. All you do it breathe in hard while closing off your throat as you do so. The result is a kind of "backwards scream". I don't know if the phenomenon has a specific name, I've never been interested enough to find out. – Dyolf87 (talk) 16:24, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

message: Regarding the proposal to merge this article with "Come in Number 51, Your Time Is Up", did you mean to say it the other way around?  "Eugene" is the better known title.  Two different recordings of the tune were issued under different titles, but there is no instance where either version was released under both titles, or where the titles are confused for one another.  I don't see a need to combine them as long as they properly cross-reference. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 00:41, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It is the same song and articles have been deleted for less I guess (which rhymes). I fixed the merge-tags. I clearly would make a section for "Come In..." in the "Careful" article, and if it's only to keep the deletion troops from our door... --Avant-garde a clue-hexaChord2 00:54, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. Beacause "Come In..." is simply a re-recording of "Careful", there's no reason why it needs a new article. That would simply be overkill. Plus with that new information added on, "Careful" will be a better, more informative article overall.Krobertj (talk) 21:45, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. It is the exact same song. It just looks like whoever decided to create a page for each song on Zabriskie Point didn't realize or didn't care that a page had already been created for CWTAE.Adsfsdfsdfsd (talk) 20:46, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

message: Hi, thanks for this article. Can I suggest that Relics is added under Audio? It's mentioned in the first para but not under discography. I understand that Relics is the official release of the studio version. Maybe also clarify whether A Breath of Fresh Air is the same studio version as Relics - I've never heard of that compilation tbh. Thank you. Pkbecher (talk) 14:24, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
