Pink Floyd Were Inspired By The Beatles

They taught Dave Gilmour how to play...

Share

Guitar legend Dave Gilmour has hinted that there would be no Pink Floyd if it wasn’t for The Beatles.

The 61-year-old was speaking shortly after the release of his live DVD ‘Remember That Night - Live At The Royal Albert Hall’ when he admitted that he learnt how to play from listening to the Fab Four.

He told reporters: "I borrowed my first guitar of a neighbour and never gave it back. I've still got it actually.

"I was an enormous fan of the Beatles. I copied everything they did before I started creating my own stuff. I’d like to have been in the Beatles. They did well.”

Did well? Can’t say we’ve heard of them Dave…
