[@davebowers8631]

For those hoping for closure between Roger and Dave, it's happened 3 times already. They did Live8 in 05, which I cried through the entire set. I was good with just that. Then they did a small benefit in 2010 with the HOPING foundation for Palestinians and as a thank you to Roger Dave did Comfortably Numb with Roger in his final Wall arena show in London in 2011. Nick was evan there banging the tambourine for Outside the Wall! Given that ,i would think anything is possible but if that's all we get that's waaaay more than I ever expected. I'll take it as a win. It's not unlike a marriage when in a band for so long. The more you know about someone and the closer you are to them makes for deeper resentments when you've had enough. They are elderly men now. Whether they reconcile or not does nothing to change what they have created both together and apart. And please, please, PLEASE everyone stop bickering over who did this or that and just enjoy the music!

[@Sean_1970]

@davebowers8631 I had inside knowledge lol that David intended to watch the Monday night and then play the 2nd night which at the time of tickets was the final night but more dates added! Apparently it was agreed because Roger played with David the Palestine charity Gig, in return David would play a show at 02.I am lucky as my profile pic on this reply is when I met Roger outside Jeff Beck's Gig & he was amazed I came from Edinburgh to London to see Roger play What God Wants which was kept a secret & he spoke just me him minder for 5 mins & he was the complete opposite of what I expected as he was fun respectful & really happy! Gave me a contact for tickets 🎟 but I had already met Nick Mason a few times & he is one funny Guy like Roger Been lucky to have seen every Flyod Dave Roger solo from 87 lapse tour onwards.

I think it's too bad that David was such a sourpuss on the Final Cut. It's probably my favorite album. There's something about it that's just so... raw and visceral. Not to mention I was listening to it constantly while getting through a hard emotional time, so it's got a huge place in my heart for that.

[@creepingbrain]

Personally, I think it's great how it worked out with TFC. If Gilmour had been more involved* it probably wouldn't have been the raw and visceral masterpiece it is. Sometimes the best art comes out of difficult circumstances. *By that I mean more involved in musical direction or production. Those of us who love TFC know that it contains some of Gilmour's best guitar work, so he did contribute...albeit through gritted teeth.

[@mark7166]

@@creepingbrain Yes, I agree 100%

[@Publius_Enigma]

Although I also like The Final Cut, I understand why David was dissatisfied with it. Half of the album are basically leftovers from The Wall - and knowing how high standards PF set with their material, the question why would they use leftovers is completely understandable. On top of that, it's known that Waters was practically impossible to work with, completely considering himself as the absolute leader of the band. Yes, David probably didn't contribute enough with the material, but with Wright gone from the band at that time, you can see the direction where the band was going. I like Final Cut, but it's true that it's not on the same level as the Wall, Animals, WYWH and TDSOTM.

I think a source of tension was that David didn't have a lot of writing credits, not as many as Roger.

Yet the GILMOUR led Pink Floyd had one of the largest grossing tours in music history, at that time, whilst Waters was playing "down the road" to a few howling dogs. Waters wrote songs and was a barely competent bass player but the person who sang them & played "the guitar for the gods" is Gilmour. Presley never wrote a song and who remembers who did write them? If it was a choice to see the Gilmour Floyd or Waters the fans have already spoken by a long way. Every time I listen to "Comfortably Numb" from " Is there anybody out there" album and hear the cheers when Gilmour starts singing the chorus and playing the solos I know who they came to listen to. As for post-Floyd Waters albums..ho-hum!!!!

If the peak golden years spanned from Dark Side through Wish You Were Here, Animals, and The Wall, I would say that a slightly longer arc is worth mentioning. Meddle (1971), Obscured By Clouds (1972), and The Final Cut (1983) while not quite at the level of the big four were still solid offerings. I at one point had all the Pink Floyd albums but there was a noticeable uptick in overall Floyd album quality starting with Meddle -and a major drop off overall starting with Momentary Lapse. But I digress.

"'WHAT'S HIS NAME" is one of the greatest guitarists ever, without whom, the SOUND of Pink Floyd would never have reached the heights it did, along with the keyboards of Rick Wright. As Nick Mason has commented "Roger never really appreciated the musicians", much of which came from Gilmour/Wright until dictator Roger emerged. As for 'The final cut" Gilmour was right.."rejects from The Wall" and without the keyboards Waters now regrets.

[@MaterLacrymarum]

Gilmour was wrong. Every album builds upon the last to some extent. If it were left to Gilmour we'd never have had The Wall. If we were unlucky we'd of had the drivel that Floyd did post FC.

[@thefuturefactory56]

@@MaterLacrymarum Yep, "Animals" surely was a worthy "build" on DSOTM & WYWH..NOT!!!! Of course it was THE MUSIC of Gilmour/Wright on both ECHOES & SHINE ON that "we'd never have had" without them, as well. When it came to The Wall, an album I mostly like, the Waters dictatorship ,with his threats to take the project away unless Gilmour/Mason agreed to fire Wright only added fire to the flames of a crumbling band. However the crowning glory on that album is the GILMOUR music and some of the greatest guitar solos in music history on Comfortably Numb. As for Final Cut and Waters solo work...they have disappeared into nowhere land. The PINK FLOYD of 1971/72 to 1979 are the sum of all parts and none of them have come close to that era, post 1979. Now Waters is just a Putin excuser and an embarrassment.

[@MaterLacrymarum]

You can like what you want. Wright was a mess. To quote him: Both myself and Dave… had little to offer, through laziness or whatever,” Wright admitted in a 2000 interview with Classic Rock." He wasn't contributing., and the rest is history. Animals is a better album than Wish You Were Here. But others don't agree, and that's fine. It doesn't prove anything, it just expresses a personal preference. Was it worthy - 100% yes. The Wall is, justifiably, one of the greatest albums of all time. Again, you may not think so. Gilmour contributed, and he did a great job. The Floyd break up wasn't about anyone's ability. Besides, they'd been together since 1969 or so - what's surprising is that the kept together as long as they did. As for Waters solo work, you are so deluded. They haven't disappeared. What are you talking about? You must mean that you don't like, own, or play them - who cares? You're not the arbiter of good or bad, you just like what you like, and dislike what you don't. Stop projecting it on to others. I play any of Waters solo albums over Wish You Were Here, but that's just me. Your opinion is just you. For me, The Final Cut may well the best Floyd album. You hate it - nothing wrong with that. I'll tell you what I do dislike - Momentary Lapse of Reason, and Division Bell. Horrible dirge. Because when it comes down to it, Gilmour isn't a great song writer. He's a great guitarist, but not writer. His solo albums are horrible. On an Island is impossibly poor. Rattle That Lock is marginally better, but that's not saying much. You may love them, and that's fair enough. And finally you come to the real reason Waters bugs you - the politics. Are you a yank? Grow up. @@thefuturefactory56

Very few go to one of his concerts hanging out to here his solo work, they mostly come back to life when the familiar sound of songs from DSOTM, WYWH and THE WALL start.

They remain among my favorite albums of all time, as do several others of yours, particularly those with your old bandmates. I do have one question, even though i realize it won't make the video. Um, WTF are you doing, Roger?! Seriously. Stop it. You still have time to stay among the most beloved musical artists of all time - or you can become another Mike Love, and I expect you know what I mean. Someone known more for their uncontrollable ego, vengefulness, and lack of grace than for the great artist you always unquestionably will be. But do you want to be remembered as a great but deeply problematic artist, or as just a great artist, or possibly even as a gracious great artist? Someone who with their fame, fortune, time and privilege spent their time doing good things, not petty things. Leave it alone, Roger. If you stop fucking with it, your legacy is secure. With all love and measureless gratitude, thanks again. As for Ukraine, maybe you could debate Sean Penn on the subject. That I would watch. Cheers.

Roger before you Leave us please have your Camp hand you important Questions. Not the Same old fare. Lennon then You. My Heart. Answers of Substance. Fate can be Kind to All Ends. Laughter is Swift. End Means mean Much to many. Reasons. Long life to you. ✨

I have the luxury, from my neutral position as a fan since "Arnold Layne" to enjoy both the band's albums and the solo works . The only slight issue I would have with what Roger says is that for me ,the golden years are from "Meddle" to "The Wall" .

[@Paolo8772]

Agreed. Meddle and Obscured by Clouds kick The Final Cut's ass.

[@davidklauber8082]

Meddle to Animals actually

[@Redguard677]

Meddle to Final Cut (excluding Obscured by Clouds)

Why the fun started with The Dark Side? What about earlier ones? Weren't they fun? Hard to believe if I think to Atom Earth Mother or Umma Gumma at least!

[@kevinkingmaker7395]

The Final Cut was more like a Roger Waters solo album than a Pink Floyd album. Understandable why there was friction with the band at this point.

[@JosephScott-ct9sw]

Apparently if your collaborator likes Donkey Kong enough...

[@williampatrick2971]

Donkey Kong was out in 82’??

[@zooropaforever]

"What's his name..." I really wonder when those two guys will realize that they are 80 now. Are they going to die without trying to fix things between them at least a little bit? I'm not saying that they must be "best friends" but at least stop bitching each other like two old grumpy men at the bus stop.🤔 What a message of peace could this be to the whole world.

Someone is right and someone is wrong. Should the person who is right ingratiate himself to the other or defend what is right?

[@zooropaforever]

@@JF-iq1yx I didn't say "he is right, he's wrong" because I'm not sure at all on who's right and who's wrong. Glad you are. After 40 years (or maybe more) of feud I'd like to see the end of this war. That's all.

[@zooropaforever]

@@lonewolf8667 yes I know. This shame is going on since far too long.

[@MrFirstone23]

"because all I had was what's his name", the other band members agree with Gilmour's assessment of Waters. That carries weight, or should.@@lonewolf8667

There's an old saying: Dark Side of the Moon is the best record ever recorded and it isn't even the best Pink Floyd record.

Enjoyed making the wall, then enjoyed threatening the band not to release it unless they fired Richard Wright as well. Rog has the benevolent old man act down to a tee, but there is not a musician who has ever worked with him has a good word to say.

Manchester gig when the bee landed on your hand. Was it a drone?

Lol

[@fidia_temple]

OK I'll put my question here Roger... after 40 years of Pink Floyd what would you do again and what would you never do again?

[@davidallen346]

Roger Waters is Pink Floyd no question

[@babarmoghal8199]

Final Cut wasn't Pink Floyd Album, it's mentioned as Final Cut by Roger Waters "Performed by Pink Floyd" I would say starting from Animals, most of it was all Roger Waters.

[@MaterLacrymarum]

It's a Pink Floyd album. Says so right on the cover. Waters wrote most of the Wall, is that no a Pink Floyd album either?

[@babarmoghal8199]

Although Wright had been forced to resign during The Wall sessions, but Gilmour had some say and production credits on The Wall, The Final Cut was written and Produced by Waters, there is only one vocal credit by Gilmour who hated most of the material and Mason didn't work much at all, I dont know why Waters insisted on releasing it as Floyd album? when it says on the cover performed by Pink Floyd? what is that even mean? "he was using his band mates as session players" he used the songs that weren't used on The Wall, miserable and self indulgent. @@MaterLacrymarum

[@MaterLacrymarum]

That there was a falling out over the Final Cut isn't in question. That the cover art is used to settle some scores isn't either, although the obvious case was on the back of the sleeve. And guess what - none of it matters. It's a Pink Floyd album. Look up ANY discography. It's Pink Floyd. It's just that some fans like to pretend otherwise, because: reasons. It's silly. Are you suggesting that any album recorded while a band was at war with itself, where a member pushed through it to get the work done, isn't actually an album for that band? So, fore example, Never Say Die isn't a Black Sabbath album? You're crazy. Next you8'll be telling me Momentary Lapse of Reason is a Floyd album, because Gilmour was happier. @@babarmoghal8199

[@Kiwi_Col]

Obviously I don't have any sense, but at least I have respect for other people.

Sounded a tad angry at the end there, Roger my old friend
