One of my favorite songs from the album and my first tab. Let's hope I don't screw this
up. Really easy song.

Repeat this four times and that'd be the intro. There's also another guitar that plays
the same thing with a funk rythm on higher notes but I'm not sure how to play that if
you do please email me or submit it. Thanks.

| QUOTE: to me, this instumental is supposed to create an image of space travel, hence the title. The beginning of the song sort of sounds like an exciting liftoff. The next part sounds like the excitement you'd feel when you first see what outer space looks like. As the song progresses, it starts to sound more and more broken and almost scary. I think they are almost getting lost in space or something. Then I like to think of the hardcore ending as the landing.... possibly a crash landing. :) wow u said it all | |

| Similar to Echoes, but without the architecture, deep lyrics, or other things which make people (including myself) weep over that song. Syd, by the way, did not "write" it; it was a group thing. Look at the credits. They all contributed. | |

| Tapandslap, you might be thinking of 'See Emily Play' Syd used the zippo on the intro and the other slides on the song. Or it could be a book error | |

| It's very interesting to watch Syd use a Zippo lighter as a slide when playing this. However, I noticed something interesting (and very confusing) in the book "Another Brick in the Wall." It says Barret : Guitars, lead vocals (verses 2, 4, and 5) Waters : Bass guitar, backing vocals Wright : Fafisa organ, piano, lead vocal (verses 1-4) Mason : Drums I don't know if it's an error or if there is a version of this song with vocals. I've certainly never heard of such thing, but I was hoping someone else could help me out. | |

| its not like you have to be on drugs to like the song. im sure lots of pink floyd fans listen to the music while there not stoned or trippin too. ive never done acid but i have done plenty of other drugs mostly just whatever i can get my hands on, and what it has taught me is that this music is influenced by it, you should be glad (thing) their is such a thing as acid because arguably without it this song would not exist. | |

| Of the several versions 'floating' around out there, the best is live in Rotterdam, 1967 (w/ Syd, of course). Absolutely crazed & no-holds-barred. | |

| Interstellar Overdrive is an aural replica of an LSD trip. It goes from excitement to confusion or paranoia feelings (the scary part) just like an lsd trip does And all the space stuff has to do with this: "Syd had his plum, orange and matchbox and was sitting staring at them during his trip. Whatever he was into was his whole world - to him the plum was the planet Venus and the orange was Jupiter. Syd was floating in space between them." | |

| yeah at the end on headphones, it goes back and forth, so crazy. It sounds sorta like the cold war put into music. | |
