At 78, David Gilmour FINALLY Admits WHY Roger Waters DESTROYED Pink Floyd

[@deangustafson7533]

Waters ego led to his own demise. While his lyrics were good, music is why you listen to a band. With only words, you can read a book. Gilmore was the real talent in the band, and remains so today.

[@renaud5861]

Non c est une alchimie entre ces 2 personnages . néanmoins ca serait bien un dernier concert ensemble avec Nick car nous n avons pas 2000 ans à vivre !!!

[@scottplumer3668]

I don't think you're wrong, but I think they needed each other. Waters' lyrics and ideas are brilliant, but they need Gilmour's musical input to make them listenable. Likewise, Gilmour's lyrics tend to kinda suck. Polly Samson writes them, but they're just not up to snuff. Musically, though, his songs are great. Gilmour and Waters are an example of the total being greater than the sum of the parts.

Gilmour hasn't "broken his silence." He has always been pretty forthcoming about his opinions on Roger.

I don't understand why people are praising Gilmour for this. The act of criticizing Roger only worsened the image of both of them. Instead of openly criticizing each other, they should focus on what has made their music great.

So where in this 27 minute video does Gilmour finally admit why Roger Waters destroyed Pink Floyd? I must have missed it.........

[@riteandleft]

Waters left the band and thought (hoped?) that it would collapse without him. It didn't and he was forever bitter. To me, Gilmore was the driving force behind PF.

[@cactaceous]

Well, after Waters left Gilmour made two very mediocre albums under the Pink Floyd name and even though their gigantic spectacle filled gigs were always full, they were simply just gigantic soulless spectacle filled gigs. Musically they were never well received after Waters left if we are talking with facts in hand.

[@theblob2k11]

Call me back when Waters can play guitar solos and riffs like Gilmour does. This is the Pink Floyd sound.

[@justinneill5003]

I grew up with the music of Pink Floyd, but I think most of us were unaware of the tensions within the band at that time. Without the Internet and the profusion of satellite TV channels, information about the band was largely confined to the musical press which tended to focus more on the music itself, and facts about the bands, without going to deep into the personal side. Looking at it now, it’s not hard to see why these two personalities clashed. Gilmour seems more insular and reflective, striving for musical perfection, whilst Rogers has a lot to say and wants everyone to hear it, either through the lyrics of his songs or from a geopolitical soapbox platform. Roger’s is an engaging and forceful character and his sparring in interviews can be entertaining (check out his interview with Piers Morgan) but when I first learned about his views on Ukraine and the lies and propaganda he was espousing, it did retrospectively stain the band’s image in my mind; it was a bit of an effort to separate that from the stunning compositions and performances of the band I grew up with, but I’ve now put Waters’s misguided views and character flaws into a separate box.

[@AllenPortman]

In my opinion Waters is arrogant a bully and controller who wanted total control and be recognized as the 'one' leading writing and musical creation of Pink Floyd! Gilmour simply got sick and tired of bucking Water's controlling personality and knew early on if he was going to survive and flourish for future generations he had no choice but to sever ties and separate (permanently) from Waters. One of the most challenging aspects of sustaining a band, long-term is the capacity to recognize each member's personality and attitude and creative style/approach and determine if doable or not doable! Often it is necessary to separate from super talented gifted musicians/artists because of constant clashing/conflicting/arguing/fighting! This atmosphere sucks the life out of the creative process. Some artists/musicians simply because of their controlling and often insecure personality they are much better going solo doing their own thing. I think this is what happened occurred in Pink Floyd!

[@kevinohara2618]

gilmour just recently said that the conflicting about the music is what is needed, roy harper (gilmours friend) admitted in a interview that gilmour was always entering his studio, complaining about his differences with waters, then when WYWH was finished he told harper that waters was right, harper said yes waters was controlling but so was himself and so was gilmour, all geniusses are this way, waters was difficult but gilmour is just as much to blame for what happened, both of them have big egos, its just that gilmour is a master of hiding it, this waters hate needs to stop and we need to accept they didnt get on, none more to blame than the other, just enjoy the great music

[@marcverbeeck2540]

Exactly.

[@Randy-k7f]

Roger waters is the founder of pink Floyd his lyrics are great so is his music the greatest album in rock history is Dark Side of the Moon he wrote every song on that album he knows what he is talking about I love David Gilmore he's great but pink Floyd is Roger Waters

[@SNP-1999]

As so often on this channel, some old and new information is repeated over and over again, but the real question - what did David Gilmour say - is never revealed ! Informative, but highly disappointing !

[@smartarsetube]

Waters is a Virgo, Gilmour is a Pisces - Sun is opposite Sun - they see things differently, in opposition. The problem for Pink Floyd was that Waters' talent was writing, not singing, and Gilmour's talent was music - singing and guitar - not writing. The root cause of them not being able to work together was the inability of one or both of them to get over the envy that this engendered. In short, Waters can't sing and Gilmour can't write. They need each other to create anything great, which is why there has been little of note since The Wall.

[@ProficientPanda]

I concur. Polly's writing hasn't improved things, either.

[@calwide1]

[@magnolia7277]

Pink Floyd would never have had the success it attained if Gilmour hadn't joined, Water's ego robbed us of musical masterpieces the two never got to write.

Roger was an original member of Floyd and wrote most of their greatest songs and Floyd haven’t written a decent album since he left. That’s my opinion as a lifetime fan of PF.

[@lisadavie5282]

Sounds like Roger Waters messed up after "The Final Cut" when He personally decided To LEAVE "Pink Floyd" but if David Gilmour had never joined once Syd was fully Gone Like Brian Wilson its not that strange for people to go mad when our planet is Bombarded with So much Low Vibration. IT IS Our Hearts and Mind That Shifts Realities as Multidimensionals we live in an Interdimentional World within worlds of worlds. David Gilmour whom was great friends with Syd early on. None of their music Pink Floyd, would have evolved or unfolded The Way It Has Done So Organically. These repeated remarks about " A Reunion" and blah blah "Fans being disappointed" This is Pure BULLSHIT! I love Both David and Roger I love both of them for Who They Are! Opposites attract and Nothing lasts forever. The most Grand Illusion is "Separate" when everything is really You Pushed Outwards 😂 ironically.... or the idea of separation 😂 even death. We are Spiritual Beings some of us Informers like Dani Henderson or Elena Danaan. We need a soundtrack to our lives which is what Pink Floyd exists for Compassion, passionate purpose infinite creativity this is all Harmonics. I do think its rather disgusting Roger would Rape Dark Side Of The Moon by removing davids work. Its a Lack of Spiritual Maturity.and that is so embarrassing. Its the same shit he did to DAVID in the studio during The Wall and The Final Cut the same boring moves and tactical misuse of false power. Cowardly. What a idiot to take a masterpiece and cut or burn it. DAVID GILMOUR An Artist has Class. Its not hard to just be a ❤ Kind warm person. AND HIS GUITAR WORK his Authentic Sound it is his own AND VOCALS MAKE THE ENTIRE ALBUM! It is not a news flash to learn thst Roger Waters has been a Royal Nazi asshole He has a bit of an Ego taking the best of him. He is being robbed by entities when focused on the low vines. we all do the best we can, moment t D.S.O.T.M. is a collaboration snd for Roger to do that is frankly disgusting. And embarrassing. He forgot he has Spiritual amnesia as part of God-Spark as yes the deepest inner observer is God-You-Are... How can one be so lost in LACK of Gratitude. You manifested all of this. Do the best you can work with wherever you are at and elevate by activation of your Internal Lightbody up and down the Spine front and back. We are vertices in a spiral movement Just Ask Neville Goddard He was right! Hands Top of Head and Feet are running Energy. GOD'S WILL Makes use of this! Heaven is upon Earth its your lack of perspective if you cant see it you cant be pointing the Fickle Finger Of Fate and Blame someone for Choices Roger when you do This 👉 you have 3 fingers pointing back at you. God Bless David Gilmour His Concert in L.A at The Intuit Dome was Outstanding deeply moving and so Intimate! Keep on expanding your consciousness our collective depends on this ascending into the 4th dimension of higher photonic light there is no dark without light. It is all about Choices!

[@4dmind]

In an ideal world, Pink Floyd needs both of them. Gilmour is the musical and sonic nature of the band - the soul of the band, while Waters is the mind of the band - the brilliance of the Wall is largely Waters in terms of the psychological journey, but when people think of tracks like Comfortably Numb, it's the solo that is the anchor. Waters has an ego problem for sure, and David shouldn't bring his girl friend to band practice, so to speak.
