Pink Floyd's David Gilmour Names Classic Song He Won't Play, Saying It's 'Terrifying And Violent'

Rock legend David Gilmour of Pink Floyd is about to embark on his first solo tour in eight years but told Mojo Magazine  there are a few iconic songs that fans shouldnt expect to hear. 

There are songs from the past that I no longer feel comfortable singing, Gilmour told the magazine. I love Run Like Hell. I loved the music I created for it, but all that Youd better run, run, run . I now find that all rather, I dont know a bit terrifying and violent.

He added that he wont be playing Money from the bands landmark Dark Side Of The Moon album, either. 

Another Brick In The Wall is another one I shant be doing, he said. I dont think Ive done that with my own band, but I certainly did it in the post-Roger Pink Floyd, against my better judgment. 

Gilmour has been locked in an on-again, off-again feud with former bandmate Roger Waters , who was the Floyds primary songwriter during the groups classic period. 

In recent interviews, Gilmour has indicated little interest in revisiting the tracks that were mainly written by Waters. Gilmour told Rolling Stone over the summer that he might only do one or two things from that era. 

In the new interview, he suggested it might go beyond the one or two. He told Mojo hell stick to Floyd songs that are essentially my music, and I feel some ownership of, naming specifically Comfortably Numb, Wish You Were Here and Shine On You Crazy Diamond as tunes fans may hear during the upcoming tour. 

He didnt name any songs beyond those, but his focus on music thats essentially his own would mean fans may hear tracks from the Pink Floyd albums A Momentary Lapse Of Reason and The Division Bell, which came out after Waters quit the band, as well as Gilmours solo work. 

Gilmours tour, in support of his highly acclaimed  new solo album, Luck And Strange, kicks off Friday with a pair of rehearsal shows in the U.K. before moving on to Rome, London, Los Angeles and New York.
