Pink Floyd Reunites? [color=red]UPDATE

i think we all know in our heart of hearts that Pink Floyd's days are over in relation to the band we know them as. It is particularly sad for the bubby fans (like myself) who were nothing but a star in the sky when Floyd reached its brightest hours ... the lyrics "together we stand ... divided we fall" seems particularly appropriate in this kind of context.
AH WELL ... still lovin' them with every inch of my heart and soul.

Personally I wouldn't like Floyd to reunite, I feel they have finished on a high and they have achieved greatness, not only through their songs and lyrics but also in how they have opened people's minds through their meaning. I have only been a Floyd fan for 6 months but in that short time I have heard what is being said and have interperated it in my own way. I wouldn't go so far as to say its been life changing, just eye opening and thought provoking.
I remember watching the news and seeing Iraq being bombed, I was listening to Goodbye Blue Sky and thought to myself "why?" - normally I'd just change channel.

Pink Floyd will live on as legends, and deservedly so.

since i only got to see them once ( the greatest time i ever had in my life!!!!!! i would pay ANYTHING to see another PF concert and it would be the best thing that could happen). but i agree, the more time that passes the less likelyhood of them getting back together becomes a sad, sad reality. which sucks because the rolling "bones" still tour and only had 2 good songs (and those songs were done in the late 70's). Pink Floyd songs are timeless, classic, and i believe that 20 years from now there will still be PF fan sites and their albums will still be being bought for generations to come. britney spears and michelle branch type music may be main stream now (i'm frightened of what will be main stream in 20 years) but PF's music will never die! the kind of talent syd and roger brought to the group cannot be repeated by ANYONE. it just can't possibly be done.

p.s. no offense intended to any rolling stone fans!!!!!

Floyd's great, but I think they're left best disbanded. I think they were/are great, and their time of fame is over. If they did get back together, I feel as though it'd ruin it somehow, it's hard to explain.

bak2life Wrote:That could be true, but I'd rather them join back up. I never got to see any of there tours, so I hope they do come back.

I was fortunate enough to see Roger Waters at Glasto in 2002. I have been a fan for a while and would love to see the band as they were. Seeing Roger Waters was amazing and it was the closest i am likely to get to see Pink Floyd. I am upset to hear that the rumors about a reunion are just rumors as i was hoping that mayby just one day i wouls see them. Great site by the way! i will be a regular i think!!

Eh, I still stand by what I said.

If Pink Floyd were to tour again, wouldn't it be great if they did a Dark Side of the Moon tour. It's a great album, and I'd really like to see it live.

Mark Wrote:Hola guys! Well, Pink Floyd ceased to be many years ago. Shortly after "The Final Cut" was made. Their was a cover band going around with some fat guy playing guitar, but Floyd was done. They will never rejoin and to hold out hope is pointless. Roger has moved on and the nancy boy remainders bear Roger no good will.

Mark Wrote:Very familiar with that superb site. Appreciate the help. I am trying to be more civil. However, the band was never civil to each other, why should we be?

Mark Wrote:Well, I don't know if I can really agree with that post about continuing to love the band, despite the changes. Changes dramatically alter the sound. It is natural to reject material from a group after say one or two members leave. Horrible example here, and I know I will be killed for it, but here goes. I loved early Van Halen with David Lee Roth. Maybe it was mindless rock, but it was good on some levels. I hate all Van Hagar and other variations of Van Halen. By your argument, if I were a true Van Halen fan, I would love all of their stuff. Even if my favorite member left? Who does that? That is blind loyalty and I have never been down with that.

I don't necessarily agree with that notion. That's like saying if you can't be a true Metallica fan if you don't like them after Master of Puppets since they changed bass players after Cliff Burton died. And Cliff was a critical part of the musical arrangement. Did their sound change? Maybe. But I still love Metallica. And I still love Pink Floyd too. Roger may have written all the words, but there were 3 other guys in the band that made Floyd's music SOUND like Floyd. And Division Bell sounds a lot more like Floyd than a lot of Roger's solo stuff. Pros and Cons of Hitch-Hiking? Not a bad album at all, but it doesn't sound like Floyd. And it shouldn't; it's a Roger Waters solo album, and not a Pink Floyd album. Now if Floyd's post-Waters output sounded horrible due to the loss of their main songwriter, I would still like Floyd, but not without Roger. Even David Gilmour's Meltdown performance didn't sound like Floyd. He couldn't have done that kind of show from within the confines of the Floyd idiom; it's a Gilmour solo show. And Roger doesn't seem to want to be within those confines anymore. Whether that is because he feels he left the band on a high note (he barely even acknowledges their existence afterward), or because he believes in the delusion that HE was Pink Floyd, I don't know (besides, no one's been able to make that claim since Syd left). But the other three have taken the attitude that they're willing to get together again if the time is right, but they don't know when/if that will come to pass. I would love to see a new album and tour, but if it happens it happens. And it's even less likely with Roger.

They are a tribute band...evidently a good one.

About my previous post, and only from my point of view....
For me, there has always been something similar in all of the Pink Floyd music. I am not sure what it is, but something,,, almost like a spirit. And, yes, it has changed (i view it as grown) over the years, but it seems to still stem from the same.
As you can tell, I like to ramble on about Floyd :O

And, Mark, I classify myself as an "early" VanHalen fan, an "early" Metallica fan, and.....maybe I am a little too detail oriented.

In regards to the posting about the Aussie Pink Floyd, they have come to my home island twice, and both times i have seen them i have walked away a happy man , but still in the knowledge that they are NOT Pink Floyd. The only let down was the venue they played. The band should play in a big venue and not the sports hall for 2000 people that they play in here. I dont think anyone will think they are an insult to Floyd, if they do i think its because the band are having an 'off day' which no doubt PF had. As mentioned in a previous posting i have only ever seen Roger Waters and that was at Glasto in 2002. It was an amazing experience which left me wanting more and, sad to say, a little more gutted that i never saw PF. Very few bands ever have had that much effect on me and i think it will be a long time before it ever happens again. I discovered PF 10 years ago and have been hooked since, so much so, that when the rumor went around about a reunion, i told my missus i was going to put our wedding on hold so i could see them!! I was absolutly gutted to find out it was just a rumor. So back to my point. The Aussie PF are well worth seeing provided you remember that they are a tribute band.

man i used to dream of pink floyd coming to my arena as a kid,the place only holds about 700 people but that didn't keep me from dreaming..i think a reunited floyd would be awesome..i mean were talking about remeshing the talents(most notably roger and dave) of the greatest band to ever record..

i hope it isn't a case of "all the iron turns to rust and proud(pig headed)men turns to dust" ..wake up boys put the egos to rest and blow us all away..i challenge you...

ricarleite Wrote:

Quote:now why did you have to say that...now my eyes are all tearing up!

Well, they are senior citizens by now. In 5 years they'll lose their eye-hand cordination and won't be able to play it like they used to (I belive that already happened). In 10 to 15 years, the odds are two of them will probably be dead (maybe not, they are rich enough to afford the best doctors). So, if they want to make a new album (they will never tour again, that's for sure), it must happen now. Right now. Before it's too late.

But the funny thing is, there will always be this "will they reunite" discussion, until one of them die. Well, except for Syd, I wouldn't be surprised if they performed one last time at Syd's funeral.

On what subject, which band member will die first? I know you suggested you think Rick will be the first to pass on above. Would not be a pleasant poll to have to think about. Not a popular poll.

Ok, before I finally give up for good:

Syd's going to the great gig in the sky first. That 2002 photo of him was creepy, he looks so much older than the rest of the band... He'll die on his sleep I guess.

Then, it'll be Rick, he dosen't look to good either, he never did, and then David, because he is the one who has aged the most, I mean look at him in "pompeii", look at him now.

Then Roger, on stage, while performing a song from Amused to Death, see the irony there? Heart atack. Crowd going wild.

Nick, well, he will live until he's 90, I belive. He seems to be in shape.

skullone Wrote:I'd love for Pink Floyd to reunite and actually embark on a worldwide tour. I don't know how good or bad the relationships between the post-Waters band and Roger are, but the current times are very grim (politically and socially) and the band's music has far more to say to the people than all the lovey-sexy-lusty prefabricated stuff we keep being bombarded with everyday.

Which is perhaps why Pink Floyd's music is considered dangerous by some people in power...

I think pink floyd is the greatest band ever...and wish that they'd reunite...but it would be nice if they coul ALL come back...but i guess that's not really possible is it???

Rock on

FantasticFloyd Wrote:Pink Floyd reuniting is like a dreamy, distant aspiration. The best thing in the world I can think of would be PF getting back together... Roger, Syd and all.... putting the past behind them and forgiving eachother for everything, but we all know the chances of that happening are terribly low. Men can be so stubborn. :( I can't hold a grudge... I always forgive people.. I'm a dupe, I guess. I always think about our 'possible pasts' and what might have been... thinking that way can result in being very depressed if you dwell on such things. :( Oh... well... life goes on.

Pink Floyd in my opinion is the greatest band. They are the most unique band yet have the amazing quality of a classic rock band. I would like them to reunite because I would very much enjoy to see them live in concert, i want to appreciate their music even more than I already do and seeing them live i think would do that for me. Their music has given me a totaly different perspective on music period. I would like them to just reunite for a worldwide tour, not to continue to make more music. I agree that they have finished on a high and they should continue to play the music that they left at.

Wow you said it better than all the previous 7 pages combined. How True.

And yes believe it or not both men AND women can be stubborn Steve Hill, and you are only proving her point more ;)

A Saucerful of Secrets Wrote:I am still skeptical about this. My first thought and question is "why?"

Why would they tour? They have no new album to promote. A reunion tour would most probably mean a reunion album. I don't see that happening. It would be great, but I would hope it would be a genuine Pink Floyd album, the likes we have not heard since Animals or perhaps Wish You Were Here or if you really want to be picky, Dark Side of the Moon. (The Wallwas mainly Waters, Animals was his beginning to take over and Wish You Were Here was a great but self-admitted legargic album. Dark Side of the Moon was the probably the last one they were all totally into doing and contributed equally to.)

There is too much to be resolved between Waters and the others. Way too much. I hope it can be resolved however.

As far as Dave not getting on with Nick anymore, I would almost guarantee that that is a result of Nick sitting in with Roger's band a while back.

Actually, Dave and Nick both seem so down to earth, I cannot imagine them not getting on and resolving things.

I just hope if they do reform, they make a great album with equal imput from all, and no extra musicians.

I hope this happens. I'll travel many miles if necessary to see them if it does happen.

quicksilver Wrote:Don't forget that David did extend Roger an invitation to play the Dark side set on this very day 10 years ago at Earls Court and he refused. The ball is not in David's court.

Pink Floyd Reunites? [color=red]UPDATE

It now appears that early reports that Roger Waters performed with Pink Floyd at Steve O' Rourkes funeral were in fact false, despite this news coming from very reliable sources.

Initial reports suggested that Roger Waters was present and reunited with Pink Floyd to play on 2 songs, but it now appears that Roger Waters didn't even attend the funeral, much less, perform.[/color]

Not bragging, thats just what I did in my younger years. Saw some awesome bands, had some great times. Last time I saw Floyd was in Denver Colorado about 10 years ago and they were still in prime shape. If they ever do decide to tour again, do anything you have to do to go see them. You will not regret it. No it will never be the same as it was when they were in there 20's. Nothing is, but good music is timeless and there musicianship is impeccible still. Pink Floyd is one of those bands that only comes around once in a lifetime and if your ever lucky enough to see them count yourself blessed.

Welcome to the forum!

The Hollywood Bowl concert was definately one of the finest indeed!

I have heard that "The Bowl" was the inspiration for the Pulse stage as well.

DarkSideoftheWorld Wrote:If Pink floyd actually reunited, it would do our world better to actually have real musicians playing music that actually has meaning. Todays music dosent have much to say, with rap taking over and making everyone something that they arent. Floyd was one of the greatest rock and roll bands of all time, and honestly, if they didnt reunite we should do something to MAKE them reunite. I didnt grow up in the era and golden points of Floyd, but even as a kid myself i have grown to love and respect their music greatly. nothing beats floyd.

Miss Sassy-Frassy Wrote:I'm torn between wanting to see them reunite, or just leaving things be.

With everything that has happened between them, hearing them sing some older stuff now just wouldn't be the same.

Personally i think it would be a shame if they did not reunite. I have had the huge honor of seeing PF twice in my life. First one at the L.A. Coliseum ( Momentary Lapse of Reason) and once at Tampa Stadium (Division Bell) the night before my wedding. Both experiences you could never begin to explain to someone who has not been as fortunate as some to see first hand. Movies dont even come close to doing justice to a live show. I would give and or pay anything for my kids to experience a show who are big fans, and for those who think they could not top what they have already done or think they wouldnt finish on top are not true floyd fans. That is all they have done in their career is accomplish the unbelievable over and over and over again.. To think of what they would come up with next just blows my mind!

Pink Floyd reuniting would make my life.

I too have had the opportunity of seeing Pink Floyd in concert in 1993 for the Division Bell Tour at Texas Stadium (Home of the Dallas Cowboys). All I can say is that it was truly the best concert I have ever seen (and there have been many concerts over the years). It rained all throughout the concert and during the laser light show all the laser beams refracted off the rain drops - it was absolutely breathtaking. If they ever do reunite, which a pray they will, then I would pay ANYTHING to attend.

Ok, just a real quicky......have any of you guys seen the Aussie Pink Floyd Show? Ok, so its not Floyd and never will be, but DAMN they're good!!! Every time I see them all I hear are people around me saying that they really are the next best thing, and they're growing and growing - doing a STADIUM tour this year in England! Facing the sad truth, its unlikely that any of us will ever get to see Floyd live again, but seriously, if you need a substitute, go and see these guys! They rock!

PS just a last selling point - Dave Gilmour also thinks they rock - enough to have them play at his birthday party!! :laugh:

Hey, the hell with roger and syd. If they cant "get along" long enough to reunite then i say screw um. Dave and the boys can do it themselves. 3 is better than none and quite frankly as much as i love the old floyd the newer is just as awesome. Division bell kicks ass!

Personally I think they won't reunite, hell I would be chuffed to nuts if they could just stay in the same room for 5 mins!!

In Nick's book he writes that he did send drafts of it to everyone one else, maybe this could be the first stepping stone for them to at least make up after all the years. Perhaps this will be the 'closest' that they get to a reunion.

Of course the dream would be another concert!!!

AndersonCouncill Wrote:Does anyone know what they are playing?

I think people aren't being realistic. OK, they are gonna be there. They are getting back togethor for it. They are doing it for the charity. There not going to tour again after this with Roger. They couldn't stand eachother that long. Roger and Dave were probably both sent a playlist, they will go on stage, play there parts in the song, leave. They won't hug, they won't be all happy. Read the interview I posted. Roger said it "I don't like him." No passion. No screaming. Just a fact, "I don't like him." He doesn't hate Gilmour because of betrayal. Dave felt betrayed by Roger. Thats not why Roger left. Roger left because he didn't like Dave. They won't tour, they will get up there, play, and get off. End of story, probably for good.

AndersonCouncill Wrote:Roger left because he didn't like Dave.

Well...now http://www.pinkfloydz.com is reporting the band has officially denied this "rumour" and have said there is no truth to it at all.

I sure wish someone would figure it out.

They are rumours for a reason.

More importantly, there has been no confirmation from Bob Geldof that the event will take place at all! that point seems to slip through the cracks.

PINK FLOYD NOT AT "LIVE 8" CONCERT

We have had loads of emails from people worldwide (thanks to you all!) regarding the rumours of Pink Floyd reforming (WITH Roger Waters, too) to appear at the "Live 8" concert that speculation says will be happening at the start of July.

We have heard back from the band's PR company, who categorically state that they are not appearing, and we also spoke with Pink Floyd's management (PFM) today, who confirmed that all the talk of the band reforming is simply rumour - there are no discussions between the band members past and present ongoing, and no intention to open discussions.

Obviously if things change, we'll let you know. Bear in mind, though, that "Live 8" has not yet been officially confirmed as an event that will happen... Bob Geldof, who organised the original Live Aid show, recently denied that any show would take place, however, he is expected to officially announce the show and full details on Tuesday 31st May. Sting has already admitted he is committed to the concert, having been told by Geldof that he would be appearing!

There are also rumours that the band will be appearing at this year's Glastonbury Festival. Again, no truth in this at all.

on the live 8 website it doesnt have them listed as preformers is this because it's supposed to be a suprise or is the whole thing a huge friggin rumor. hopefully its a suprise

All those albums they had made, from Dark Side to Final Cut, they had something to do with the live8 cause. Why doesn't at least Roger Waters perform, its really his message they're giving.

It feels like Christmas. This band is tied with "early" Genesis (with Gabriel) for me, as my favorite. I've been waiting for Mr Waters to get back on board, for so many friggin years.

Man, I just hope they do The Wall.. apologies if that has been explained in this thread, I'm rushing to get my day going.

skullone Wrote:I'd love for Pink Floyd to reunite and actually embark on a worldwide tour. I don't know how good or bad the relationships between the post-Waters band and Roger are, but the current times are very grim (politically and socially) and the band's music has far more to say to the people than all the lovey-sexy-lusty prefabricated stuff we keep being bombarded with everyday.

Which is perhaps why Pink Floyd's music is considered dangerous by some people in power...

They are not going to tour and they NEVER WILL tour again as group so can we please drop it??? The most I can see happening is Gilmour touring on his own next year to promote his solo album..... ???

erris_earth Wrote:Pink Floyd told us all a story and it moved a generation of people more so than any other small group could do. It was the intention to have thier last words and leave the rest of us to contemplate them, as some have said to leave at there zenith. However, they from the sixties sparked a new generation of awe struck listeners who are themselves looking for masterful minds to give them a small piece of understanding. I know to much of a good thing is not good, but there are some of us who for whatever reason found pink floyd in a dark place and found a new light by them. I believe ( and wish) they would come together for one last grand tour and give all the loyals what they so desire. If not for them selves then do it for the world!
We are lost souls and we wish you were here!

I wish they would reunite for a tour. I never got the chance to see them and I would, as I'm sure many whose lives were shaped by their music growing into adulthood, love to see them perform. A montage of everything they created musically. It's not the same as the past - you're right. It's a visit with them in honor of a timeless magic that touched our souls - and theirs. I saw the remainder of Skynyrd, and listened for 20 minutes to a guitar solo along with a whole stadium of others, to a man who is a master. It was the same when I saw Jethro Tull. Then, and now. It's the same with Floyd. Something to reconnect with a genius that touched my life. CD's are CD's - it is from the past, not the present. Floyd rules.

Vintage Wrote:If you read the interview with Roger in Word magazine, it's easy to see how one might get the impression that the Floyd will reunite for something in the future. Roger even said he wouldn't mind performing 'Dark Side'.

Problem is that David Gilmour really doesn't want to tour with the group anymore.....If it is another 3 piece I do believe Dark Side would be hard to do without Gilmour.....I could see Waters, Wright, and Mason doing either "Wish You Were Here" or "The Wall.......

I became a Pink Floyd fan during December 2004, so have never gotten a chance to see them tour(or even be complete), so i wish i can get the chance to see that. I also feel the 2 recent albums don't even compare to the album they released in the 70's

i fear that with the music today, the album would perhaps not get the attention it deserves.

If only it were as easy as that. David is a family man, who doesn't want to make the same mistakes as when he was younger. He's comfortable now.

Even though I really really hope they do one more tour, I can't see it happening.

Rock on guys,

Clearly everbody would be happy if pink floyd would re-unite, they have done something to affect the lives of every person who listens to their music.

mattmc1973 Wrote:Dave's interview in Guitar World makes it pretty clear that he has NO interest in reuniting.

Yea, I read that too, he 's more than happy to spend time on his "little" boat with his guitars and family.

Too bad. :(

Would love nothing more than to see the original Pink Floyd(Roger, David, Richard, Nick, and even Syd) preform for one final time, whether in concert or studio(dvd or cd). I watched "Live 8" last summer(PF reunion is only reason I watched), and the earth stood still (at least for me)when PF preformed! I know that rumors of Floyd's reunion and tour are false, but there still is hope!! Just one last time, pleeeeeaaaaaaaaasssssseeeeeeeee! Pink Floyd to me is IMMORTAL!!!!!!

Like said already many times before:

They gave us a perfect farewell with the 4 magnificent songs of the London Live 8. Thats the bonus, i am totally grateful for that. It was godlike! Now rest in peace and thanks again for everything, Pink Floyd!

What should be also said: their music is eternal, folks! Go, grab some guitars, sit behind a drum set, get some keys and go for it! Play the music you love and it will never fade away!

Fingers crossed, yes.

Wait a minute, we're going on about this imaginary concert here - it hasn't even been confirmed or fully speculated, so let's shut up for a while!!

I will be the happiest person in the world if this does happen, and will contemplate selling my body parts to get a ticket, if that is necessary!!

As for setlist, they should do all of wish you were here, some floyd classics, some syd era floyd stuff, and syd solo stuff.... that I would be satisfied with!! Actually, I'd be happy with anything, just having all the floyd together again would be enough.

Indeed! All the money made should go to charities as well. It would be unfair for them to make money out of something like this. The money should go to help people

RickD Wrote:great post Myriad - the thought that the "Pink Floyd Reunion" could overshadow the reason for the show could be the one thing that prevents it happening.

I agree...although it would be exciting for one to happen, it would be even better because it would be for Syd, and even though not all of us love him, you have to admit that without him, the music wouldnt be the same. if they do actually do a concert, it would be good then to know that we can finally put the idea of them reuniting to rest.

shine on Syd

This is even more promising:

I think madchris means that they should do something like what Cream did.
One last full length show.

I truly believe that's what David thinks... and probably Rick. Roger is keen for more, evidently, and Nick will play with anyone, anytime. But David holds the keys, and he's done.

As a whole i still love them, fighting or not. I would fly all around this world just to see them together again

I also wish that Pink Floyd reunites someday!
I hope they can put their past conflict behind and move forward. I never had a chance to attend any of Pink Floyd concerts. My only wish is that they reunite and come up with a new album for the sake of their fans.

At last a good, quality post. None of this 'I hope they reunite. I hate David because he won't reunite them' business. I have never heard about the security issues at Rogers concerts before but it does sound pretty bad. Also, with regards to this stuff that people are saying, as if it is David's fault they are reuniting, we are not to know what is happening between the members. All I can say is that I have read some things Roger has said about David about his wife e. t. c and if I was in his situation I wouldn't just turn a blind eye and forget about it to reunite. It would be great to see them renite but I would rather leave the band as they were, hugging and smiling at Live 8, than have them reunite when none of the members are up for it and have only agreed to do it to be obliged to the fans. That is the way I see it anyway.
