Corey Feldman talks about his Pink Floyd-inspired album

Former teen idol  turned reality star Corey Feldman has been busy in the recording studio since the filming of his reality show, The Two Coreys. The actor and musician, who starred in a reality show with fellow actor and friend, Corey Haim, has been working on a Pink Floyd-inspired album with his band.

Recently he talked candidly about what it was like having members of Pink Floyd working with him on the album, and how he felt about the recent passing of Pink Floyd member, Richard Wright:

How much of a influence have they been on you?

Corey: “Tremendous. Specifically with this style of music. To me they are individually and collectively the most generous group of musicians ever gathered together. Granted The Beatles are still the greatest rock band of all time, but for different reasons. Floyd explored regions of the mind and soul the Beatles wouldn’t dare consider. I know people who are afraid to listen to Pink Floyd. It strikes a nerve like a raw emotion that you don’t expect.”

With the recent death of Rick Wright many Pink Floyd fans across the world were impacted in different ways. I know I was depressed for a solid weak after the loss. How did it impact you and how did you hear about it?

Corey: “Well I think I heard about it the same as everyone else, on the news. I of course called the people I knew that were close to him, and wished my condolences. As far as the impact I was conflicted with true grief for the loss of a man and the effect it had on the people around him, and the selfish sorrow of facing the realisation that there would truly never be a final Pink Floyd reunion. I then decided to tribute the new album to him, and added a dedication a day before final press.”
