Ice-T and David Gilmour Team Up for New Version of Pink Floyd's 'Comfortably Numb'

"I'm telling the younger generation, you've got two choices: you can keep the fire burning or you can give up," said the rapper of the song's new lyrics
In a statement, Gilmour called Body Count's rendition of "Comfortably Numb" "quite radical."
"The words really struck me," he said. "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."
“When we originally contacted their publisher, they said ‘no,'” he told the publication. “It was not a diss, but kind of like ‘Pink Floyd doesn’t do samples. They don’t do ads, either.’ We were f---ed. I wasn’t going to take the lyrics and put it on another track. I was just going to burn it.”
After the "Mind Over Matter" artist decided to ask Gilmour and Roger Waters directly, things changed.
“Once we got to David, he was like, ‘F---, yeah. I love this song. I approve it,'” Ice-T said. “And then Roger listened to it and his only comment was, ‘Who’s singing?’ When he heard it was Ice-T, he approved it.’ To have two people who sit on two opposite sides of the fence agree on a song, that means it must be good.”
