BODY COUNT UNVEILS NEW “COMFORTABLY NUMB” VIDEO FEATURING DAVID GILMOUR
The Grammy Award-winning metal band, Body Count, has released the music video for their version of Pink Floyd’s “Comfortably Numb.” The track will be featured on their upcoming album, Merciless, which is set to drop on November 22.
The video by Jay Scorsese features legendary Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour whose unmistakable solos provide a haunting backdrop to Ice-T’s raw, electrifying new lyrics that radically update the song. The song and video maintain the original themes of detachment and isolation, memorializing the most unlikely collaboration of 2024.
Ice-T about the track:
“For me “Comfortably Numb” is an introspective song—it’s me acknowledging that I’m older now. I’m telling the younger generation, you’ve got two choices: you can keep the fire burning or you can give up. It’s me trying to make sense of what’s happening, but also pointing out that we’re all in a place where we don’t have to face reality. We’ve got flat-screen TVs and popcorn, and we can just sit back and watch the chaos of the world like it’s a TV show. It doesn’t feel real until it shows up at your door. I’m a little numb, too—we all are.”
Body Count, fronted by the legendary Ice T, will be performing at the Aftershock Festival on the DWPresents Stage this Saturday, October 12 in Sacramento, CA.
