An article from Far Out Magazine revisits the well-known story behind David Gilmour's celebrated guitar solo on "Comfortably Numb", which the piece frames as his finest musical moment. It links the solo's creation to a serious falling-out between Gilmour and Pink Floyd bandmate Roger Waters during the tense 1979 recording sessions for "The Wall", suggesting the friction between them fed directly into the intensity of the performance.

The article's title references the pair having "looked way too big, frightening" during this clash, underlining how personal conflict within the band shaped one of rock's most acclaimed guitar solos. However, the full text of the piece was not available for this summary, so further specific details, quotes and context from the original article cannot be confirmed.
