@tigerfan1984 Long Live SID! The greatest diamond of them all!!! If it wern't for his demise, do u think PF would have written some of the greatest music ever?
I love that Roger wanted to do other songs and David, Richard and Nick shot him straight down. "..We're gonna play these songs, and if you'd like to join us, that would be lovely.."
@jaruel37 Wrong. Roger didn't want to perform songs from his solo career. He was quite happy with the songs proposed by David, yet he wanted to include 'Another Brick in the Wall, Pt.' in the performance. David and the other band members were against the idea for 'Live 8' is favor of worldwide education and the song just wouldn't have fit.
@gibsongold1970 couldn't agree more,,,and a lot of people know that dave double tracked his voice, but on some wall lessons about a seemingly match to dave was rick vocally,,,,,gust think on it
WOW!!!!! They r gonna get together again and I will be there!!!! You are so lucky!!! I just went to see Roger Waters in NYC! Roger Waters just amazing .He was just awesome... I think the whole thing with David Gilmour is not only, that he is just an Amazing guitar player but also because we all want the so call "original".....
@666767 Well, I was hoping for them to do it. Some charity event or something like that. I heard the rumor. I hope it happens. I'll ask Roger Waters ;-)
I know they hadn't played together in 25 years, but it still feels weird to think of guys like these needing rehearsal. I mean, obviously all musicians need to rehearse (and maybe these guys (um, Roger) actually could have done with just a little more), but these are my rock icons, and seeing them do the same kind of sound checks I do with my cover band makes them more... less... I dunno -- like the rest of us.
LOL @ whoever said Syd wasn't really a member of Pink Floyd. He was the founding member of the band and named it! There wouldn't be a Pink Floyd without his contributions. Syd was pretty much the subject of most of Pink Floyd's albums after his departure.
@DasGoldenBoy I seem to remember Roger wanting to play a couple of his solo songs. I think he wanted them to play Perfect Sense pt 1 &2 as well as Flickering Flame.
@DasGoldenBoy I believe in an interview Rick stated that David told Roger, "They've asked Pink Floyd to play and we're going to play these songs; if you'd like to play with us great."
@jaruel37 It would have been ridiculous if htey had played Waters solo songs. It would have been such an incredible waste of time of these four guys with the limited playing time.
@Xiolablu3 Yes, it would've been ridiculous for them to play any Waters solo songs. I couldn't believe he asked the band to play anything from his solo repetoire. To Roger's when the rest of the band said, "They've asked Pink Floyd to play, and we're going to play these songs. If you want to play with us great."
@PupuTheClown Alas, yes. It seems Nick and David agreed Rick was not doing his share (apparently due to personal problems) not that they wanted him actually kicked out. A compromise was reached that Rick would play as a session musician which he did for a long time until he was officially reinstated years later (long after Roger had left). At the time very few people were aware of this. During the 1988 Momentary Lapse of Reason tour, Rick was still a session musician which is sort of surreal.
Me too !!!! (Maybe Richard told Roger: Man If you woudnt call Dave we wouldnt be here , the 4 all together!! and Roger said I dont know Rick but I really think tonight its gonna be like in the old days)
"The black one... isn't it? - DG. David asks his guitar tech, Phil Taylor, for advice whether to use that guitar or his Red Strat. Good call on the Black Strat...going back to the good ol' days.
love it when Rog starts to play flickering flame. Always liked to do his own thing. This was the nuts when he done it at the albert hall with full orchestra.
Sure...Syd barret was one of its founders. But he get way to much (overrated) credit, half the crap he recorded had to be redone by Gilmore. Not to mention the first albums (i have them aal since 1967 or so) were utterly crap way to experimental. Compared to Gilmore, Syd was just a shorttime in the band.
WE do agree one thing tho, bands likes these are timeless. I knw for sure for the the bands that night this was a true honor to witness.
Sorry wrong, pink floyd iff syd was still in it you would not have liked them at all.
Want proof get ALL there albums mainly the ones were Syd is in. Utterly crap even for the most die hard pinky fans i know off (That even love crappy bootleg recordings) plus FACT Roger waters IS/WAS the leading figure seen the fact he wrote 90% of the songs you and i love so much.
Syd...overrated sorry founder or not..he did not make pink floyd what it was.
@SymphonicDelight what you say is 100% as it never was a discussion about the roots of pink floyd. There for that argument is not relevant to whats been said.
Te reaction was based on "Syd was the WHOLE band" thats been discussed ;)
i do have to disagree the albums with syd are utter crap, though. saucer is alright, but piper at the gates of dawn is an awesome album, not to mention some of the singles they cut in the earlier days were great too, see emily play, arnold layne, gigolo aunt. It's no ANIMALS or MEDDLE, but i have to strongly disagree. It's not utter crap.
@muziekfreak1980 You do know the Pinkfloyd consulted with Syd on numerous occasions with help on lyrics right? Syd was a poet and a dam good one at that. With no syd there was no good lyrics.
@muziekfreak1980 Don't talk such way about Syd, he is the founder, all the music is inspired by what he did, and he did not create crap, he set the stage for Prog rock basically.
Thank god for freedom of speech. I FIND that Syd is overrated as a ARTIST do you even own all there work? Readup on how much HAS to be REDONE because syd was in a other universe playing a FALSE guitar on regular occasions....
Yah he was founder kudos, did he make it what is was? SORRY NO!
@muziekfreak1980 In a way he did make Floyd what it was, however, to different degrees one can point to, Syd was someone who's very persona rubbed off on all the Floyd members. I think he deserved more in light of his death, a memorial program to document his life better, for future music fans and fans over all. He's hardly over rated, I can't see that being the case. I liked early Floyd, but my favorite era is mid 1970s. Wish You Were Here is very much a magnificent ode to Syd!
@herbpicotte yeah, but the guy i responded to said that Syd wasn't really a member of pink floyd or something, what i want to say is, that he also made some great work before he left and gilmore replaced him
@lullo456 - David was Syd's replacement, just to be accurate. Your statement makes it sound a bit like Syd and David were in the band at the same time. Not true.
@Mooseboy08 you're like the 4th one who fails to understand my statement.
Pink Floyd With Syd still in it was great, and Pink Floyd with David in it was great, that's what i mean, however since David 'replaced' Syd the music wasn't really the same 'trippy' style anymore
@lullo456 So an eighth of your audience misinterpreted what you said. Those aren't very good odds when you're talking about communication. Anyway, no big deal. One thing that this proves for sure... we PF fans are VERY passionate!
@Mooseboy08 Actually, I think they were in the band together for a short period of time. They were both on the second album "A Saucerful of Secrets" and I'm pretty sure they shared the stage for about 5 Floyd shows before Syd was forced out. I read this in one of the books about the band.
@SRMoore1178 "Around the beginning of 1968, guitarist Dave Gilmour, a friend of the band who was also from Cambridge, was brought in as a fifth member. The idea was that Gilmour would enable the Floyd to continue as a live outfit; Barrett would still be able to write and contribute to the records. That couldn't work either, and within a few months Barrett was out of the group."
DAvid Gilmour and also Roger Waters as well: both helped on The madcap laughs, while only Gilmour helped Syd in the second album(Barrett), where he was completely out of control... Waters could not cope with Syd at that stage
I wish they would have thrown an old school bone out... Pre-DSOTM that is... They were so great in LAPP with just the four of them... They missed a golden opportunity to ditch the accompaniment and make a real statement...
That's 'Dark Side of the Moon" and 'Live at Pompeii' respectively for those in the slow...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
when u see this if your a pink floyd die hard u will no roger fucked it up for us he was not floyd they all were without gilmour and his guitar and vocals what would of had DAVE GILMOUR YOUR THE GOD not waters
Hem... Man... Yes, Pink Floyd would have been such missing a quite great thing without Gilmour.
But... I mean... Who wrote the songs?... Like "Fuck off, Gilmour's the greatest, check out the first vocals & the lead guitar on Hey You!"... Yeah but, for fuck's sake, Waters Wrote the bloody song.
Stop just putting down one member or another. Pink Floyd quite "sucked" without Waters, and if Amused to Death was a record by "Pink Floyd" without Dave, I wouldn't like it neither.
if waters BIG ego had not got the better of him he would still of been a member of floyd am telling you without gilmour floyd were fucked did you no waters wanted to make the band make a album using household like pots and pans etc i think waters solo material is brill but without gilmour there would be no PINK FLOYD
You know, the Household Objects album project was held back in 1973-74 if I remember well. And the whole band got involved in it, especially Nick Mason due to his interest towards, you know, recording/sound tricks (he was quite a good producer, hence Rock Bottom). AND, back in 1973/74, Waters wasn't quite like "I'm the band". This was later.
If Floyd is fucked without Gilmour... Oh what the fucking hell, just listen to A Momentary Lapse of Reason!
i do often but if you listen to the solos of the dark side of the moon who else could come up with that magic we get to listen to and why does waters only sing the last two songs on that album every one of gilmour solos on every album is out of this world if gilmour had been with waters on his solo projects how much better would they been
I think I totally agree with this last comment. Let me just bring a couple of things that I think have to be said. If Waters didn't sing everything on Dark Side, it's because, even if He had written All the songs and a lot of the main music, he was Very, Very shy when it came to singing and didn't feel at ease with his voice at all, untill 1977. And, of course, Gilmour was just THE MAN for Pink Floyd's guitar sound. But Roger was a Great lyricist and composer. That's what made Floyd so Floyd.
but thats the thing gilmour not just a guitar sound as we clearly hear on all albums i think we are both stuck in were on own ways am bitter against roger because i think us of deprived us of the real pink floyd we should of heard for years and years
Gilmour has a great voice too, of course. But when it comes to composition, he's not as prolific/good as Waters. Waters NEVER prevented Anyone from composing. It's just that Dave didn't compose much, Rick composed some "crappy things" (even Gilmour said it), and Nick wasn't into composition. It's not Roger's fault, it's just a thing that had to happen. Let's just be happy for what Both Roger And David gave us for years and years. :)
Omg! Roger is playing the flickering flame!! =D while gilmour is standing there. to anyone who doesnt know the lyrics to that song. the last verse is "When my ego lets go of its end of the bone, to focus instead on the love that is precious to me." =D i have a feeling rog wanted gilmour to hear that.
get the tears in that moment is not for all..... forever and ever Pink Floyd.... when I hear this music my heart have a different beat. thanks for all English guys......
Of all what? Roger is a great lyricist but you should know that the others make their part too.
He once said that he found odd they let him get away with the lyrics of Dark side of the Moon. That means thata even he thought he was doing all the work. It wouldn't be the same without Nick, Rick and Dave.
Believing that one is the one who worked more is what make the band tear apart. It's a useless dicussion. Since Pink Floyd was formed by four wonderful musicians.
dave had a lyric in a song where he implies roger told him politely to go f**k himself. whether they've mended fences or not is anyones guess, but i agree that perhaps only guest appearances on individual works are all we're going to be left with. i too find roger's work more interesting compared to the remaining PF....or as i like to call it...the david gilmour band............oops........sorry guys!

@lullo456 So an eighth of your audience misinterpreted what you said. Those aren't very good odds when you're talking about communication. Anyway, no big deal. One thing that this proves for sure... we PF fans are VERY passionate!

@Mooseboy08 Actually, I think they were in the band together for a short period of time. They were both on the second album "A Saucerful of Secrets" and I'm pretty sure they shared the stage for about 5 Floyd shows before Syd was forced out. I read this in one of the books about the band.

@SRMoore1178 "Around the beginning of 1968, guitarist Dave Gilmour, a friend of the band who was also from Cambridge, was brought in as a fifth member. The idea was that Gilmour would enable the Floyd to continue as a live outfit; Barrett would still be able to write and contribute to the records. That couldn't work either, and within a few months Barrett was out of the group."
I stand corrected!

DAvid Gilmour and also Roger Waters as well: both helped on The madcap laughs, while only Gilmour helped Syd in the second album(Barrett), where he was completely out of control... Waters could not cope with Syd at that stage

I wish they would have thrown an old school bone out... Pre-DSOTM that is... They were so great in LAPP with just the four of them... They missed a golden opportunity to ditch the accompaniment and make a real statement...
That's 'Dark Side of the Moon" and 'Live at Pompeii' respectively for those in the slow...

Hem... Man... Yes, Pink Floyd would have been such missing a quite great thing without Gilmour.
But... I mean... Who wrote the songs?... Like "Fuck off, Gilmour's the greatest, check out the first vocals & the lead guitar on Hey You!"... Yeah but, for fuck's sake, Waters Wrote the bloody song.
Stop just putting down one member or another. Pink Floyd quite "sucked" without Waters, and if Amused to Death was a record by "Pink Floyd" without Dave, I wouldn't like it neither.

if waters BIG ego had not got the better of him he would still of been a member of floyd am telling you without gilmour floyd were fucked did you no waters wanted to make the band make a album using household like pots and pans etc i think waters solo material is brill but without gilmour there would be no PINK FLOYD
bigals1000 2 years ago
You know, the Household Objects album project was held back in 1973-74 if I remember well. And the whole band got involved in it, especially Nick Mason due to his interest towards, you know, recording/sound tricks (he was quite a good producer, hence Rock Bottom). AND, back in 1973/74, Waters wasn't quite like "I'm the band". This was later.
If Floyd is fucked without Gilmour... Oh what the fucking hell, just listen to A Momentary Lapse of Reason!
labitajojo 2 years ago
i do often but if you listen to the solos of the dark side of the moon who else could come up with that magic we get to listen to and why does waters only sing the last two songs on that album every one of gilmour solos on every album is out of this world if gilmour had been with waters on his solo projects how much better would they been
bigals1000 2 years ago
I think I totally agree with this last comment. Let me just bring a couple of things that I think have to be said. If Waters didn't sing everything on Dark Side, it's because, even if He had written All the songs and a lot of the main music, he was Very, Very shy when it came to singing and didn't feel at ease with his voice at all, untill 1977. And, of course, Gilmour was just THE MAN for Pink Floyd's guitar sound. But Roger was a Great lyricist and composer. That's what made Floyd so Floyd.
labitajojo 2 years ago 2
but thats the thing gilmour not just a guitar sound as we clearly hear on all albums i think we are both stuck in were on own ways am bitter against roger because i think us of deprived us of the real pink floyd we should of heard for years and years
bigals1000 2 years ago
Gilmour has a great voice too, of course. But when it comes to composition, he's not as prolific/good as Waters. Waters NEVER prevented Anyone from composing. It's just that Dave didn't compose much, Rick composed some "crappy things" (even Gilmour said it), and Nick wasn't into composition. It's not Roger's fault, it's just a thing that had to happen. Let's just be happy for what Both Roger And David gave us for years and years. :)

It's good to see that Waters and Wright made amends before Rich's death.
For me they'll always be the greatest band of all time. Their music has an ethereal magic that of which will never be seen again.

I don't know why most of the people remember Roger as the song writer, but my two favorite songs Remember a Day and The Great gig in the Sky by Rick.
Whoever says that Roger was the only one who writes songs is because haven't listened other works aside The Wall.

Of all what? Roger is a great lyricist but you should know that the others make their part too.
He once said that he found odd they let him get away with the lyrics of Dark side of the Moon. That means thata even he thought he was doing all the work. It wouldn't be the same without Nick, Rick and Dave.
Believing that one is the one who worked more is what make the band tear apart. It's a useless dicussion. Since Pink Floyd was formed by four wonderful musicians.

dave had a lyric in a song where he implies roger told him politely to go f**k himself. whether they've mended fences or not is anyones guess, but i agree that perhaps only guest appearances on individual works are all we're going to be left with. i too find roger's work more interesting compared to the remaining PF....or as i like to call it...the david gilmour band............oops........sorry guys!

i've always liked roger better. i think he's more artistically talented than anyone in the band. rick was the musician, roger was the lyricist.
he may have played a part by "leaving the band" as the others put it but david definitely has kept them apart.
RIP Rick
RIP Syd
