With Barrett's reluctant dismissal, Gilmour assumed a permanent position in the group. He was an immediate fit and eventually his bluesy-yet-psychedelic guitar playing became practically synonymous with the band. In 1978, he released a self-titled solo album, highlighted by the singable-yet-spacey "There's No Way Out Of Here." In 1984, Gilmour had a minor hit with the hard rocking "All Lovers Are Deranged," from his second solo effort <i>About Face</i>. After that, he concentrated on reforming Pink Floyd, touring and releasing records all the while maintaining a very public feud with Roger Waters (although that's all cleared up now). He recently released his third solo offering, <i>On An Island</i>, in 2006. - Mike McGuirkArt & Progressive Rocken720Mon, 23 Nov 2009 07:21:35 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5002&rws=%2Fdavid-gilmour%2Fmusic-videos.rss Before becoming the guitarist, singer and the secondary songwriting force (behind Roger Waters) in Pink Floyd, David Gilmour was a friend of the band, playing with them as the increasingly crazy Syd Barrett became more and more of a liability.
