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

The legendary singer and guitarist names some tunes fans shouldn't expect to hear during his upcoming solo tour.
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 shouldn’t 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 ‘You’d better run, run, run…’ I now find that all rather, I don’t know… a bit terrifying and violent.”
He added that he won’t be playing “Money” from the band’s landmark “Dark Side Of The Moon” album, either.
“Another Brick In The Wall is another one I shan’t be doing,” he said. “I don’t think I’ve done that with my own band, but I certainly did it in the post-Roger Pink Floyd, against my better judgement.”
Gilmour has been locked in an on-again, off-again feud with former bandmate Roger Waters, who was the Floyd’s primary songwriter during the group’s classic period.
