Any chance somebody could have a go at extracting Gilmour’s guitar from this? I can do stem separation in Logic, but it bunches all the guitars and “other” stuff aside from drums, vocals and bass into one track. I agree with Ron here, Gilmour’s work is really great on this one, but the rest is… less great, to put it conservatively.

That surely beats the hell out of Roger's recent reinterpretation of Comfortably Numb as a funeral dirge.
Seeing this posted here is some strange synchronicity for me since just yesterday the gf and I watched Frank and John Denver's Senate testimony before the assembled establishment goons and the PMRC who were trying to limit artist's freedom of speech during the whole "Porn Rock" scare in the mid-80s which resulted in record labeling that effectively boosted sales of any album labeled as explicit. As a result, the YT algorithm fed me a video about how Ice T and BC ran up against the same authoritarian goons when they released the first Body Count album, and how he stood his ground at the time, but ultimately bowed to corporate pressure by replacing "Cop Killer" with "Freedom Of Speech" on subsequent pressings of the first album.
I really dig old school gangster rap AND metal so I freakin' LOVE Body Count's first album. I wish Ice T would grow a pair and re-release the first album with "Cop Killer", but I guess that's not really the image he wants to portray any longer.
And ultimately, who gives a fuck anyway?

Would have never imagined something like this.

I love it, like a 6 min ragged solo
saw this quote in on a site
"“Body Count's version of Comfortably Numb is quite radical, but the words really struck me. It astonishes me that a tune I wrote almost 50 years ago is back with this great new approach. They've made it relevant again," Gilmour explains. "The initial contact from Ice-T was for permission to use the song, but I thought I might offer to play on it as well. I like the new lyrics, they're talking about the world we’re living in now, which is quite scary. Ice-T and Body Count played in London recently, sadly I couldn't make it, but if another opportunity came up to play with them, I'd jump at it.”
