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 Wall was 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.

I heard that the album that would be released would be a live album. From what, I am not sure. We all know how long it has been since they have toured.

David, Nick & Rick all get on just fine. The fact that he sat in with Roger that one time doesn't bother David one bit. They've known each other a very long time; and it's in his nature not to carry grudges. They may not agree with each other on things but that's as far as it goes.

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.

I wouldn't hold your breath for a reunion by any means.

However, I wouldn't rule out another Pink Floyd record/tour
at some point.

Did not know about the Earl's Court invitation. Just goes to show that Dave is literally asking, "can we wipe the slate clean?".

It is all up to Roger. The ball is in his court.

First Off, What a great site! I've been a Pink Floyd Fan for 20 years. First exposed to the sounds of Animals in my friends basement on a big console record player. Now a full time student of music at UMA,someone mentioned a reunion was in the works. Could It be true? I really don't belive they need the money(like the stones) so would they do it for us, the fans? One can only hope. I truly do not belive that them being on in years is a huge issue as they were never the "run and jump" kind of performers. So the only problems I can forsee are the disagreements among band members and maybe some management who know this would make all other reunion tours look like dog and pony shows and want a bigger cut.
I'll keep a suitcase on the left, just in case.

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]

Well this is probably the worst news I have heard about the whole situation. The news of Waters hooking up with the band to play 2 songs was something that raised my hopes so high. Now they have crashed to the ground. Man it just doesnt seem like it is going to happen ever.

I work in the music industry,i recently heard a rumour/possible truth from someone who shall remain nameless.That Dave Gilmour had booked studio time a couple of months back.He was staying very tight lipped when questioned if he was recording a Floyd album.My contact also received a phone call from Mick Mason booking time at the same studio around the same period,he required an orchestra of all things.Can anyone shed anymore light on this??? This infomation came from an nextremly reliable source.

wowser · 11-06-2004 06:14 AM

So basically that won't happen either. I no longer trust these 'industry tip offs'. If it were true, then perhaps they are working on solo albums. THEY ARE NOT REFORMING
