Pink Floyd reuniting rumour?- Nick Mason

:confused:

I'm sad that it seems they're going to reform. The generic middle of the road crap they churned out years and years ago that all sounds the same would surely suffice if people wanted to listen to them.

I want them to for totally selfish reasons, they are one of the groups that I really wanted to see live. I've seen U2, still want to see Pearl Jam and if I could see Pink Floyd in full production - well suffice to say "Big Silly Grin" material. I'm not asking them to produce anything new...

If they stay out of the charts and therefore off the radio I'll have no beef at all :) Dead easy to avoid them if all they're doing is playing live. As long as its not on telly.

I really hope they do reunite, because a Floyd gig is something really, really special and I'd love to see them again.

Amen - the live performance is so much more than just the music.

Meh - he never really had much of a voice to start off with, it's his musical genius that we've been missing.

.. the genious so absent from most of his solo endeavours.

I saw Gilmour/Wright/Mason encore at Gilmour's end of tour Royal Albert Hall show and although it wasn't Pink Floyd orchestral perfection, with Wright molesting microphone and Mason skipping couple of beats, I still have to say, even in their most unrehersed hour they are, as a team, way ahead of any Waters performances in the last 15 years. I would love to see Floyds in full set, but in technical terms the difference between Waters and The Trio is like difference between street fight with brickets and sniper showoff. It was visible during Live8 and I think in case of come back no one would have enough guts to tell Waters to actually sit down and start rehersing...

LOL - ouch - some may debate the quality of his solo endeavours. It must be said tho, that Mr Waters is responsible for the majority of writing the music for Dark Side of the Moon, one of the greatest selling albums of all time. The number of people that bought the album surely didn't so that they could empty their pockets?
 
I'm not even going to try to letterbox Pink Floyd. They were revolutionary in their music. David Gilmore (whilst being a really pompous git) is an amazing guitarist, and Waters is a genius when it comes to writing music.

You don't have to like them, you don't even have to acknowledge them at all, because for every one of you that doesn't, there are thousands more that will.

They have played a major part in music history, and like it or not, they are not going to be denied that. Like I said my eagerness in the idea of them getting back together for another concert is entirely selfish. I doubt that I would go to see them if it wasn't a full production tho, I'd be happy to listen to the music and imagine it if that were the case.

You don't have to be offended, not understanding Pink Floyds place in history ..SNIP.., is your only and last bulldog sticker with union jack to fly higher than anyone else. Ever.

Amen - everything that I wanted to say, but couldn't be bothered typing out on a stinking hot Monday night :D

Thought I'd share these two tracks with you from 10 years ago.
I was playing in a rock duo at the time and my partner liked Floyd so I was made to program these two tunes.
On stage we added live guitars, a bit of keyboard and vocals live but all the rest is me in the studio. The soundcard at the time was a Soundblaster AWE32.
Money is sang by Paul and I sing Another Brick In The Wall with a soft voice :eek:

Didn't we cover "I like" n times already in previous episodes? Oh, we did. So, you don't read. That just wastes my time. I'll wait for reruns.

Whilst I entirely agree with your opinion of Pink Floyd, and your turn on recognising the place various musicians have in music history, I think you may have over stepped a little in your rebuttle to Gilly.

He has every right to hold his personal opinion as to whether PF is ****, as that is his interpretation of the music, altho Gilly, I might suggest that "Personally I don't like them, and never got their music" may have been a slightly less inflammatory statement :D

V0n, you made a really interesting point in that, music is art. As such then is should probably be approached in the same way. I can't stand expressionism (for the most part) and find abstract art to be the domain of the person that has no talent. Whereas I find the Dutch Masters, Vermeer, Rembrandt etc to be gob smackingly stunning. But that is only my opinion, and should never be confused with a statement that the expressionists and abstract artists have no place in art history.

I don't think that Gilly has been trying to say that he denys Pink Floyds envolvement and/or validity to music history and trying to imply such is really picking on semantics.
