It's true, but "all set for a reunion gig" doesn't mean it's going to happen. They're just saying it's alot more possible now, there's no actual shows scheduled yet.

They're looking for another good charity gig, like Live 8, according to Nick.

good now we just need zeppelin aboard.

Dave and Robert seem to be in the same position

I don't know what I'd do if they ever reunited. Probably have some sort of seizure, to be sure.
I'd give anything to see them perform again, but unfortutanely, it doesn't look like it will happen.
But I can still hope...

It is not about making the Pink Floyd group again, it is about just a single one, two, three... actions, or maybe even a tour if they went that far, then splitting back again to their own lives and projects. Pink Floyd is a legend, and it should be left a legend. But to see the legend alive once more, for a short time, will be really something a true fan would appreciate.

On an Island did well in all European countries but here in the good old U.S. of A things like High School Musical, Ne-Yo (some punk thug rapper), James Blunt, Matisyau (who is this clown a reincarnated version of that Canadian reggae guy Snow) and that dirty gangsta thug Juvenile (who has a criminal sheet longer than the state of Texas) kept OAI out of the Top 5 and sales of OAI dropped drastically very quick here as opposed to Europe and Canada which are all smaller compared to here in America. If your album doesn't do squat in the States then European success doesn't mean squat. Also, those losers at Rolling Stone are such asskissers (they gave OAI a 2 out of 5 when they give Britney Spears an almost 4 out of 5, I puke).

The US wants a Pink Floyd reunion not solo albums nor solo tours (though they did well). I have all of the solo works and am a huge fan but the bottom line is most people don't know who either David Gilmour or Roger Waters is UNLESS you put tags like PF, The Wall and Dark Side next to their names. Sad but true.

Very true.
I don't read Rolling Stone anymore. The old issues were okay because they were reporting on good artists (Hendrix, The Who, Floyd, etc.) But now, they're fallen to crap.
I have copies of Rolling Stone when Jim Morrison died and stuff (THOSE are special). But now? No way. That magazine has turned to shite

I actually loved "On And Island". I'm a Roger fan, but even I had to admit...David did really good
And unfortunately, that is true. I think the majority of true Floyd fans would recognize their names. But newcomers probably wouldn't...not until you showed them the prism, or "Comfortably Numb".
Kind of sad.

I am unbiased in the Floyd saga. I take as many new Floyd releases as I can. IMHO, OAI was Gilmour's best solo effort since his 1978 solo debut. Amused was Roger's finest hour as a solo artist. I like both equally.

Rolling Stone went to crap years ago. Most PF albums were TRASHED by the magazine (including arguably their two best post-DSotM albums WYWH and Animals) with the exception of The Wall and TFC and that was because Kurt Loder is a PF fan as is David Fricke and Anthony DeCurtis but Jann Wenner isn't a Floydian.

I'm hopeful that PF pull off a Cream type situation of a week in NYC, a week in London and a week in L.A.. Then make a live album and CD of it and we'll all be happy. That's all I can say.

It's so strange. This afternoon Q104.3 a classic rock station in NY was talking about a recent Roger Waters interview. He said he had a geat time doing live 8 and would do it again but not everyone felt the way he did. Nick was up for it too but not David. Roger and David do talk but are no longer good friends. I'm not sure were the interview was from but the DJ read a part of it and it sounded as if Roger was disappointed about it.

Amy Winehouse?! bleh!

RE reunion
Documentry on Sid Barratt shortly aftr his death (BBC2 England) Dave Gilmour said he didnt think it was time to get back together and had no plans to work with roger waters again
