Corey Feldman Reflects on His Musical Journey and Pink Floyd Tribute
In the previous year, Corey Feldman ignited a wave of discussions online with his guitar performances, which faced scrutiny over allegations of “fake playing.” Despite the backlash, Feldman, along with Limp BizkitS Fred Durst and various online investigators, stood firm in their defense.
In an interview with Guitar World, he clarified, “If we can connect with millions – and I truly mean millions – through this seemingly trivial solo, then we must be doing something right.”
A Journey of Persistence in Music
Feldman is now candidly sharing his extensive journey toward gaining respect in the music realm, highlighting how his 2010 album, reminiscent of Pink Floyd, played a pivotal role in reshaping his identity from actor to serious musician.
“I’ve been at this for a considerable time. For 35 years, I’ve been releasing music, and it has been a gradual ascent,” he shared during a conversation with Billy Corgan on The Magnificent Others podcast.
“I like to joke that I’m an overnight success after 35 years[[[[laughs], but honestly, it felt like nobody was paying attention. I was creating songs for film soundtracks and releasing small indie albums. I had a modest following, and while every performance was sold out, we never played venues larger than 1,200 seats.”
technology Analogy: A Tribute to Pink Floyd
in 2010, Feldman unveiled Technology Analogy with his band, Corey Feldman’s Truth Movement, which he describes as a “deeply impactful album that echoes the essence of a Pink Floyd record.”
“It captures that vibe and atmosphere. We even collaborated with Storm Thorgerson, the renowned English art director known for his work with Pink Floyd, for the album’s final conceptual artwork,” he added.
Seeking Approval from Legends
Feldman took his homage to Pink Floyd a step further by personally reaching out to David Gilmour and Roger Waters for their approval. “To emphasize my respect, I approached both Gilmour and Waters to seek their blessings,” he disclosed. “I presented them with a copy of the CD to ensure they were neither offended nor upset by it.”
“I made every effort to maintain authenticity, treating it as an extension or sister project to my tribute to Pink Floyd, without appropriating their work in any way,” he explained.
“After that,I believe people began to recognize that I was genuinely serious about my music career.”
In a previous discussion with Guitar World, Feldman expressed his profound admiration for Gilmour, noting how the legendary guitarist influences his choice of equipment.
