- Spectre - 02-07-2006 06:23 PM
"David Gilmour is once again telling people that Pink Floyd is history, just as he's done for the past seven months. The singer-guitarist said, "I think enough is enough. I am 60 years old. I don't have the will to work as much anymore. Pink Floyd was an important part in my life, I have had a wonderful time, but it's over. For me, it's much less complicated to work alone."

I certainly hope this is not true...
- FloydianLeaf - 02-08-2006 04:40 AM
That isn't what I am hearing. I think David is protecting what he refers to as his best work from being overshadowed by Floyd reunion talk.
Watch for David to be "swayed" once again just like he was for Live 8 after the release of his album and supporting tour.

I ****** wish david would quit crying about how tired he is and just give us another show, if not for himself, for the die hard fans man. I love the guy and all but damn! I pray every night that theyll do one more for us. I hope roger and the guys can maybe convince him.

I think this all to get attention back on David's solo stuff and off of Pink Floyd. I still think they'll have one last show/tour before they retire for good.
- thirdman27 - 02-14-2006 08:55 AM
I'm a die-hard, fanatic fan but lets face it, I think its over people.
It really is an impossible dream to think that they will throw away all their differences for a whole ******' tour. maybe another one-off, but forget about a tour. Roger will probably be touring with his band for his new album coming out next year.

You are right....it is over! This is the reason why Dave Gilmour wrote "What do you want from me". These lyrice speak volumes about what it must be like to be idolized so much. To have people study and disect every nuance of every note played or word sung. The world as we know it won't end without the amazing Pink Floyd. Anyway, if the Pink Floyd did even one more show .....then there would be even more whiners about doing even more shows, it would never end. And in my opinion Roger and Dave working together as a band again........no way! They should call it quits while they are ahead! The Live 8 show was cathartic for everyone, including us fans, no need to do any more.
Good on ya Dave.....looking forward to hearing and getting your new album in March, and I'm sure there will be a DVD of it sometime too. As well as The PULSE DVD will eventually get out. (Although I sometimes wonder about that!!)
I'm also looking forward to getting Richard Wright's new solo album that is in the works too.
As a long term Pink Floyd fan (right from their start), I think it's time to end touring as Pink Floyd. Sure I'd like to go to another Pink Floyd show....but it isn't going to happen. I just pick the good (tribute) Floyd shows out there touring now, and there are a few really good ones, and go see them.

Yet another reason why their amazing PULSE concert (as near to a complete set list as one can do - 2h20min!) should be out on DVD NOW - and not delayed 9 months!

maybe they will come back for another one-off or a farewell concert.
- EGT - 02-17-2006 08:11 PM
Just set up a venue out in the middle of no where. 20km squared. I suggest the Sahara. Big monitors, miles and miles of speaker cabling and gallon after gallon of beer with nice snacks. People will come in thousands.
Start from the beginning and work right the way through to Division Bell. Well OK, maybe a bit much. DSOTM in total at least!
And then we'll never ever ask again. After that, we officially declare the Floyd dead.
Thanks. :laugh: :D

I have been a major floyd junkie for 35 year's and hate to see the end of floyd as much as anyone but give the guy's a break, their old and tired. I would rather see them go out in style then to go out like a bunch of washed up old geriatric farts on stage in wheel chairs doing a beneifit concert sponsored by bengay.

I would love to see Pink Floyd in concert, but even if they did play again I wouldn't stand a chance of seeing it, look at Creams re-union, the tickets where like gold dust, I shouldn't even get my hopes up for a re-union, not becuase I don't think it will happen, but becuase I know I wouldn't go.

Its as if he forgets that if the fans had not brought his albums and his bands albums and gone to see the shows he would not have the life he lives and the ability to just make an album whenever he wants
- scalzmoney - 03-26-2006 08:19 PM
I read on Outside the Wall where Dave has stated that the Live 8 reunion could have been done without Roger. Wasn't that the point? The reunion of Dave, Nick and Rick would not have been as big a deal. I know I wouldn't have cared as much. I would have watched on tv, but only to hear how they played Comfortably Numb this week.
The beauty of the Live 8 line-up was not only Roger's appearance, but also the limitation of additional band members. Extra guitar, keys and vocals, but that was it. Plus the young lady who sang on Comfortably Numb.
Basically, I wish all the press and others who keep bothering the band members with talk of album and tour would ease off. Dave is out supporting his current project.
Dave's also said no tour without a new album (or new art as he put it). Fine, I say. Let's have the boys swap demos and get to work on eachother's tunes. Who's with me?

be patient, folks.
as old people are sometime getting sentimental, also Pink Floyd will.
The surely gonna make a good-bye tour or something, maybe, when Pink Floyd turns 50.
2010 - Pink Floyd the 50th birthday tour.
Don't count the years, the band did'nt officially exist, we all know, that the band still exists.
In our hearts and that judges the 50th birthday, even if the band was "officially" broken up.

With or without Roger Waters, it would be really nice to see a new Pink Floyd album!

- Grguitarfreek100 - 04-27-2006 06:29 PM
Let them live life. unlike many people on here, i never had the opportunity to see floyd. Before Live-8, i barely recognized floyd, and was more focused on metal. im only 16, and im devoted to floyd, but think of them.
Theyre like 60. Give them a break. They came. They rocked. They will die. But their music will live on.
We have to accept that they are getting old and tired.
Every one of them has the right to say pink floyd is over, since they are an equal part. Dont think of what Floyd can do for you. Think of what you can do to Floyd.
- Wiggy Mopp - 04-28-2006 04:41 AM
Roger Waters could buy the name Pink Floyd from them, and then recruite a drummer, guitarist, and keyboardist, and do a few live shows. :p He's got enough money, eh.

- kingwilliam - 07-10-2006 06:30 PM
I think every Pink Floyd fans daydreams about some type of reunion show or tour. I have only had the oppurtunity to see Roger Waters...not the whole band. I saw RW on the 2000 tour and it was amazing. I am also going to the Hollywood show this year.
I do not think the band can call themselves Pink Floyd without Roger, nor he without them. I LOVE Floyd deeply, I listen every day of my life.............post Rogers Floyd does not appeal to me in the same way as the real deal. Honestly, I lean more toward Roger, because his voice is so unique....and "floydian"..........Don't get me wrong, I love all the members, but to me someone else singing the intro to Comfortably Numb [Pulse] sounds weird.
I try to stay up to date, and all of the members since Live 8 have rejected a tour, but never totally rejected the idea of another show - "for the right cause".
I'd like to see them do a reunion album, even if it was just one show in Egypt... with the stage setup between the paws of the Sphinx, the Pyramids in the background on the night of a total lunar eclipse.....
whoa......need to put the pyrex out of arms reach............

Live 8 was nice and any future reunions will also be nice. A new album with original members? There's really no need for it and their creative dynamic is fractured beyond repair anyway.
These guys already did it. There's plenty of Floyd to listen to. If you's itchin' for some Floyd, just pick an album at random and enjoy.
My only wish, on a personal level,would be to see the band play as a whole because I never saw that. Still, it wouldn't be the same now as it was in their heyday.
I think on some level, we'd all like to see them make up for lost time, but life rarely works that way.
- mmarconi - 07-13-2006 05:19 PM
as Rog "the Hat" has said "Musicians have big egos...you should know all about that"...a band that tours together lives together...I see my ex wife for my kids...not to work...it's done..."you've gotta go out on tour, you owe it to the people, we're sooo happy we could all make out"...The band just can't get along w/ Roger long enough to tour or make a record...and to tour now?...what COULD they play?...It would take 4 hours to scratch the surface..live 8 worked for me...let 'em retire..I hope Syd's sister still gets royalties.

To be honest, I don't agree with all of these people who want a full tour and a new album. If they don't feel right playing with each other then we shouldn't force them to do those things. But, personally, after they have said themselves they would do another event like Live 8, surely paying tribute to their original genius member who they wish was here fits the bill.

I've Always thought in my fantacies that Roger will reunite with the floyd one last time and go on a worldwide tour, but we all know that might not be likely. Roger seems very solid with his solo career, same with Dave, but you never know......

ColdStealRail Wrote:I think Gilmour would be all for another reunion. Its Roger that would need convincing.Not really, if you look at some quotes from the past few years. Twenty years ago, you would have been right. But now Roger's starting to think a Pink Floyd reunion wouldn't be so bad, and Dave's more comfortable working on his own.
- whong - 02-03-2007 10:29 AM
I don't blame Gilmour at all for wanting to stick with his own thing. Trying to reunite the classic foursome would be an insurmountable challenge and headache. Live 8 was a nice little way to close it out, and maybe one more show at some point. In realist terms, I think that's all we can expect.
The Floyd has run it's course, folks. Face it. If they didn't reconvine after Syd passed, it's just not likely to happen at all.
Personally, I'm more than happy with their various projects and tours....and hope that this will continue for as long as possible.
- FACEMAN - 02-20-2007 02:11 AM
I think that 'one more' being completly out of the question is a sad thought. But, if enough is enough for the band, so be it. There will come a time when Pink Floyd will be treasured as all bands that have shaped the mass psyche of the world and passed on are treasured. If I may say, they are the 9th wonder of the modern world. And due to the masses of fans who grasp the meaning behind all this, the recordings they hold and the memories of what 'Floyd meant to them, if they stopped the presses on Pink Floyd, they would still remain immortal... as they are now.

Maybe David feels that He's too old to travel that much anymore. I mean yes I know that Mick Jagger may be the same age as david (or older I don't know). And Yes the stones are still around. But you know not all of us are the same as to what our bodies can handle. Relentless touring can have a toll on people and maybe David just doesn't feel up to hitting the road again. Yes like all of you I would love nothing more in this world than to see these guys in concert. Many of you probably got that chance already, I never did because I didn't become a fan until about three months ago.
- quickpost - 08-06-2007 01:09 AM
i must say that I felt hard done by and that I really missed out when floyd were touring (i missed out by about 6 months. Pulse tour just ended as I got into them
)but a great weight fell from me the day I saw gilmour's concert in the RAH and again when I saw RW in dublin. I strongly advise you go to the next DG / RW solo concert and it will make the pain go away.
- Jintzey - 08-06-2007 10:01 AM
Right on quickpost! I agree, seeing two shows from Roger Waters' Dark Side of the Moon tour was a very satisfying Floydian experience. I wanted to see David Gilmour too but I wasn't able to travel to any of his gigs, which were all too far away from me. We need to get whatever Floyd we can while we still have the chance because it won't be around for much longer. :(

well, I see what you guys are saying, and I don't see what Gilmour is sayin although I kinda understand, and I see what Roger said about for 1 show butnot a whole tour. But the could do this:
Make an album by doing one song one take each week and each add there own little touch in production, they can't delete anything, just add, and also each song is a different band members song they wrote and it is performed the way they want it to be performed, the studio organizes the songs into an album with a concept, run it by each band member, see if they want to add anything more, they each come up with a title, the studio choses it the final title, they release it, each tours on there own, come together for about a show a month, no more than that unless they want, and stop there.
Sounds good to me. What do you guys think

RE: Pink Floyd Is History - David Gilmour Speaks - Pinkman07 - 01-05-2008 04:40 PM

RE: Pink Floyd Is History - David Gilmour Speaks - "Capt. Midnight" - 01-06-2008 07:39 AM
AHM, has some real good thoughts, and I agree with the concept. I don't doubt, that when Dave was asked the question in the original link, he meant what he said. Imagine how many times a day he gets asked the SAME THING
he's trying to "do," DM music, and you know EVERY interviewer is going to ask.They STILL keep their skeleton crew on the books. They pay the warehouse bills to store the pile of crap. Sometimes Dave speaks of "Floyd," as present tense, other times he uses past tense, and those of us looking for sublte shades of meaning in his every word, hang on them. I have seen them on both tours, sans Rog. I really enjoyed it. I would be happy if sentiment over rides resolve, but make no major bets based on the facts as they are. It was true; it's not the, "same," without Roger, but it was another chapter in the Floyd story, like those last two albums. (I'm showing my age with terms like album
) they were without Rog, they were older, and had different perspectives. I do recall younger fan's at the time slamming the works, as not being, "trippy," enough. I enjoy both works for what they are, just as much as I enjoy "Syds," 'Floyd. Also, another chapter, and a good oneI'm 42, and have three kids under the age of 10 on down. With half my life over, I don't take for granted my time with my kids. My Dad died this year, and he was younger than Dave. Dave has little kids. With the income he's made, and STILL rolls in from all of his work, he dosen't HAVE to do anything, if he chooses not to. He has chosen to make an album, less intensive on all aspects than a 'Floyd project and tour, and go out, away from his family for a bit, and play some tunes to people that he will never meet, that claim to, "love," him. He dosen't have to do that, so music is still flowing through him, just different than the Dave that spent hours and weeks in a room with another difficult person, with wires and tapes trying to shape ONE synth tone to your liking, then getting the other guy to like it. They went places no one else was going, but they went alone. We went their, after the fact, in our own minds listening to the end result, but THEY went there alone. The theme of an echo is oft reapeated in Floyds music, its whats left. It's gone, and all you can do is reflect on what you just heard.
The last few times the Dead went out, Jerry was very not into the retro/frat house hippy scene that was coming around changing the loosley knit summer trips they rather enjoyed. It wasn't the same anymore, he didin't like it. I've seen them countless times, you'd always be able to get a few tix, the last few tours? kids just wanting their card punched, "hey Dad, I saw your favorite band," the young fans were mean, drunk and problematic. It wasnt the same.
The period around live at pompeii, was to me just so creative, so alive and part of that energy was youth, and time, lots of it. the echos of each chapter reamian, and with big screen plasma TV's, 5.1 stereo systems, and all that perhaps whatever chapter of Floyd that touched you most, won't sound or feel the same, from a guy over 60. That can be proved by the young fans not liking th last two albums.
They left us piles of stuff to sift through, take any color you like. If you don't mind seeing Dave, or Rog as they are willing or able to deliver their art to you, then perhaps thats their other point?
Musicians are fickle people, the stars may hold something for them, someday, but Dave says no. He's got some reasons. If your like under 30, like to eat mushroom pizzas, and listen to 70's Floyd? and don't care for anything you hear either party do now? you would not like the Floyd show, lazers and everything, and you wouldn't have liked the last two tours. They sold well, I liked the stories and songs, but alot of people didn't then. It is what it is. You can be a fan of the echo, and its huge.

They all have worked so many years making the greatest music known to man, why do we all have to act like greedy children always wanting more, more, more. I will die listening to Pink Floyd. Although I know each word without thinking, I still enjoy it as if it were new. Their music vibrates my soul, touches my heart and how can I be selfish to these men and ask them to pour more of their own lives, blood and pains out for me? I am so grateful for what they have given us. I only wish you were. Thanks to the whole band for everything you have given to us. God Bless and Cheers!

Although I know each word without thinking, I still enjoy it as if it were new. Their music vibrates my soul, touches my heart and how can I be selfish to these men and ask them to pour more of their own lives, blood and pains out for me? I am so grateful for what they have given us. I only wish you were. Thanks to the whole band for everything you have given to us. God Bless and Cheers!Great first post. I welcome you wholeheartedly to the forum and hope that you have a fantastic time here . . .

Long Time Fan / New To the Board.....All I can say is the Fans knew this day would eventually come
and that's sad....However as David said he's 60yrs old and the rest of the band is the same or older....The time for new albums , stadium concerts and reunion tours has passed....IMHO it's time to thank them for the memories and let them rest....** This isn't to say that that IF they suddenly announced a tour that I wouldn't be going....I would be one of the first in line to get tickets , but I just don't see it happening....

Welcome Mammal. I agree, it looks like the time has passed. If they did one more tour though, I'd empty my bank account if it came to it.

My only regret is that being 40 I never was able to see the entire band play together....Seeing David , Richard and Nick was Great as was seeing Roger.....
, but sure wish I could have seenthem all together....

I'm not in a much better position, I'm going on 20 this year, I was born in 88, so yeah, there goes my chance of seeing the Floyd that I even remotely care about - with Roger. Eh, my interest in Floyd is waning anyways, but I would give anything to see the ITAOT tour or the 77 tour.
RE: Pink Floyd Is History - David Gilmour Speaks - Kirara2001 - 02-24-2008 06:41 AM
I can understand it when they never would tour again. They are no young men anymore and a tour under name Pink Floyd would suppostly mean much more stress than a solo tour with all the big expectations people would have. To many people would hope that by some strange magic everything would be back as it was in the seventies (or in many cases as they thought a Floyd concert was meant to be in the seventies) and not even with Roger (maybe especially with Roger) as a Floyd member again, this would be possible.
But what I hope for is that they will finally release some old concerts on DVD. Hope that at least here they can finaly find an agreement.And as someone who not only enjoys the PULSE DVD but Division Bell and AMLOR, too I would be more than happy when we get some more material from that time (DSOT or Live in Venice would be great).
But one thing would I really like to know: What was it really what David Gilmour had said on the end of the "Which one is Pink" documantation -
"No" or "Who knows ?"

RE: Pink Floyd Is History - David Gilmour Speaks - drk229 - 02-25-2008 04:32 PM
I'd like to see David tour, even if it is alone, just one more time. I've seen Roger twice, and I know he's coming back around but it's the SAME SHOW.

I see nothing wrong with that. Pink Floyd happened already. Happened and was amazing, left behind a bright, shining legacy. But it's over. Listen to the music and let it make you happy but I think, as fans, we should let the members move on. Remember, Pink Floyd wasn't as wonderful and euphoric for them as it was for us, it's a long and convuluted and sometimes ugly history. Pink Floyd will never be equalled, but it must, like everything else that is life changing, come to an end. That is not a bad thing, that is just the inevitable cycle. Dave made something amazing with Island, Roger made something amazing with Ca Ira (or reinterpreted it), let them do that. Instead of expecting them to go on forever (I think we younger fans have a difficult time understanding that these rock and roll stars are as older or older than our grandparents), younger musicians should pick up a guitar or sit down at a kit and try to do something as awe-inspiring.
RE: Pink Floyd Is History - David Gilmour Speaks - yellowrose - 05-02-2008 07:01 PM
I"ve been listening to Pink Floyd for over 30 years and the best compilation of their music and a legacy of Pink Floyd was the video PULSE. I know Roger Waters was absent and that was unfortunate as he was a major part of the band but somehow the others seemed to carry it off with the most incredible show I've ever seen. Waters was one of the genuises behind the music and lyrics but the Pink Floyd "sound" comes from Gilmour's guitar. The man is a god in my eyes and always will be. I still watch Pulse and get the same feeling I got the first time I watched it. Thats just my opinion but wanted to share it. I saw Waters in concert several years ago and was a brilliant show but now Pink Floyd.

When you have listened to their music for more then 35 years it becomes part of who you are. Just like losing a loved one or even a beloved pet it can be hard to completly let go. You will alway hope for what could have been. As musicians I doubt that their genius and body of work will ever be equaled. Ahhh but we can all dream, can't we?

Pink Floyd is the best group now, ever and forever.
Thanks to David Gilmour, Roger Waters, Nick Mason, Richard Wright...and the others who make us flying...
I only have been on one concert in Belgium... in Werchter... Not the best place to see and hear Pink Floyd playing but for me, the only one.
Leaving in the Middle-East, as soon as I know Pink Floyd on the ramp again, I fly and will be proud to be part of the history.

Ah , once again flogging the old horse . The best thing about this band is that even though they will probably never , ever play together (Dave , Nick , and Roger) again , there is such an abundance of live recording out "there" in cd , dvd , vhs , vinyl , shit even 8track , that you can find "new" "live" stuff to listen to . Just recently a copy of the 1988 tour fell into my lap , and I would be surprised if the record company doesn't open up the vault at some time in the future , greedy bastards that they are . So understandably David is even more hesitant about reliving the past , don't blame him , he don't owe me a thing . Thanks to all of them for the memories .
RE: Pink Floyd Is History - David Gilmour Speaks - 6string - 11-24-2008 09:10 PM
Agreed Jeff, I can relate to David and the way he feels as Im the same age and Im tired as well. I couldnt imagine doing a tour at this age, honestly I dont think I could hold up to it
So true they will always be in our hearts and our minds

RE: Pink Floyd Is History - David Gilmour Speaks - Jeff 2008 - 11-25-2008 09:20 PM
Im thinking that if a man is giving away a prime piece of real estate in London , isn't hurting for cash . I don't think that Dave or Roger does any of this for money any more , they been there done that , so to speak . IF they ever do anything together again , I imagine it would primarily be for personal reasons and it would have to be something that was really important for both of them to wake the beast from its slumber . On the bright side , I have memories of concerts and footage of concerts to get me through the doldrums . Besides , even if they did do something what are the chances either one appears in Winnipeg ever again ?
RE: Pink Floyd Is History - David Gilmour Speaks - Wings on the Pig - 11-26-2008 08:04 AM
Very good post, Jeff. Neither of them need the money, as was proved when they turned down the multi-million tour in the wake of Live 8. I just don't know what they would think to be a reasonable cause, though, if the deaths of two of their original members doesn't spark them into action . . .

I don't know if appealing to their sentimental side will even get noticed . The one that would really have to make the leap would be David anyway and I do not think he is any shape to be making that big of a leap . It is true that those closest to us have the ability to really frak us up the most . If I were him , I don't know if I would be willing to volunteer for all the pain , real or imagined , that he may associate with working with Roger . Personally , I would love to see it , again , but I am also alright with what I got at Live 8 . In the end the only opinion that matters is the boys in the band , if they aren't on board , all of them , then it won't happen .

RE: Pink Floyd Is History - David Gilmour Speaks - Kirara2001 - 11-29-2008 11:36 PM
Sorry people, but for me sounds the idea of a Rick-Wright-Pink-Floyd-memorial-concert very cynic. After all the stuff that happend between Rick and Roger, why should ROGER WATERS appear on a tribute concert for Rick. Remember he has not only pushed Rick out of the band but if we believe what David Gilmour and Bob Enzrin said about this time than he had treated Rick like the dirt under his fingernails.
Sorry again, but when people say they want "a Pink Floyd reunion for Rick" when they in fact mean they want a Pink Floyd reunion for themself than I feel
I would love a Rick Wright tribute by Gilmour and Mason together with some people who feel influenced by Rick but in my humble opinion Roger Waters should stay away from it.
I remember very well the Syd Barrett tribute were everybody else played a song written by Syd only Roger decided to use one of his solo-songs...typical would I say. Seems that he is not even in such situation able to give someone else a little bit acknowledgement for their work.

Are we mature or not? he said that's over if it is over than so it be.But don't judge him.You are not God on earth.You can not judge someone's decision.Pink Floyd is his child, as well as Roger's, Nick's, Rick's and of course Syd's.I do wish so much to see them for the very first time in my life.I'm listening for 17 years old Pink Floyd now I'm 22.My first album which i had listened to was amused to death of 5 years old.About this album my father says that:"is good to have it in your house".Every time when he was returning from his voyage he was learning me a lot of things.One of them, Pink Floyd.But anyhow, do not judge someone's work or decision concerning his wishes about his future and own life, is common-sense.
