I find it “Incredibly Sad” that you all can’t get back together as you once were. Life is far too short. I have long been a fan of Pink Floyd and I am much younger than both of you however, I have a Stage 4 lung disease that will cut my life short and when you’re in my position you realise what’s really important in life and have a wisdom beyond your years.
@@martyndunn6337 You totally missed the point. Saying that Israeli government is a criminal bunch of nazis does not imply having a distaste on jews. Having respect for human life and truth IS love. Israel is committing genocide. I've got a lot of hebrew friends who complain about their own government for this. Are you going to call them antisemite?
So sad to see that you guys are still on a feud. This breaks my heart each time. Love you all and the amazing work you've done. Roger, take good care of yourself and let's pray (or at least have a spark of hope) for a better world after all we've been through. Together we stand, divided we fall. 🤜🤛 ❤️
I really love all the members of Pink Floyd equally but I don't like the fact that David is now leading Pink Floyd. It is not his band. It is a collective of Roger, David & Nick. If they are to perform at all, it should be with all three of them. I'm sorry to roger that dave is doing this and I just hope that things from the past can be cleaned up...
Gilmour seems to be a quite difficult person. I think its outrageous how he owns Pink Floyd. Syd and Roger started the band, Syd named them, and Roger wrote four of the greatest albums of all time. David made invaluable contributions, but was ultimately along for the ride. His solo songwriting isn’t great. His 1978 solo album showed he needs a collaborator
@@pts5217 Gilmour does seem to have a certain "hen of the golden eggs" attitude, but Roger is just plain nasty and takes cheap shots. Pretty lame to go on a public wife-attack.
"And when you lose control, you'll reap the harvest you have sown.... And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone... And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around."
Frank Martin And that is why he is a hypocrite. Here are some more of his own words: “you fucked up old hag, ha ha charade you are. You’re nearly a laugh, but you’re really a cry”. He is not Jim Morrison, but he thinks that he is John Lennon-and Lennon was a lunatic hypocrite too.
Somewhere on my hard drive, I have a picture of him as young. Believe me. He looks better now and I actually think he looks fine regardless of anything because he's the Roger Waters! A very important part of Pink Floyd and with impressive work after that. Sad that David is such a primadonna. When Roger left the band, he left with its teeth. I think David knows that and is somewhat envious.
it is sad...at least its one sided... Pink Floyd moved on until Rick Wright's passing...as a fan, Rogers leaving was sad at first, till reading of all the strife that left and stayed with him. the rest just changed the channel and moved on. why look back now, nothing there to see that would make anyones life more enjoyable. Roger has his career, i wish him luck, no need to go away mad, just go away and get on with it. DSOTM will probably NEVER be eclipsed by any band ever... it was a musical miracle, probably never to be outdone...with Rick gone, a lot of the musical soul of the band is gone, and thats just that...hate that Pink Floyd is over, but happy to see Gilmour enjoying his family, doing his philanthropy, always talking in a respectable and polite manner, Nick enjoying his racing/collecting, and 'the band' still getting together and just playing for fun at times... life is good for all, including Roger, but my guess is regret has him trying to leave a better legacy, thats a deep hole to dig out of.
tim c all he’s asking for is access to post content on the Floyd website. It’s fucked up that’s a request he even has to make. Separate the person / politics from the art.
I've never actually seen Waters 'fight'... at least since they were in court. I think he's too nice to them. Gilmour wasn't an original member of the band, and has treated it like his personal empire since the mid 80s.
That's how things should go in a ideal world. Rogers apologize for his authoritarian attitude in the mid 80s and praise David for his huge contribution musically acknowledging that pink Floyd could have never existed without him and his musical talent. Then David to praise Roger for his unique combination of passion, lyrics and creativity also admitting that pink Floyd could never be what it represents without Roger. Finally they would both get drunk talking about how Syd Barrett story and LSD trip in Pompeii. ...
This dispute between you and Mr. Gilmour brings me back down to earth. Your music was so progressive, ahead of its time, even divine (if you listen under "specific" circumstances), but after all, the creators of something so beautiful are not flawles and also just humans, with their own Problems, just like all of us...
@@SocietyOfTheSpectacl You might as well include Roger in your statement. You attack Gilmour precisely on the at least one thing both can say they agree on?
Roger, man, life is short dude. You've got to get off your high horses and unite for one last send off to the Pink Floyd legacy. One album to tie it all together. I believe. We believe. There's still time.
Even if Rog and Gilmie did bury the hatchet and become friends they wouldn't do a PF reboot for the simple reason that Rick is no longer alive, David said that PF is done and to go on without Rick would be wrong
I agree Richard was so very unique and talented He gave PF a sound that no other could. It would be like momentary lapse of reason (A good attempt) Division bell Good album however sounds like it's missing something We all know what it is Pink Floyd is Rogers lyrics Bass lines that were made for the music David's breath taking guitar Rogers & David's & Richards voices Richards hey we're pink Floyd sound And nicks perfect back beat tying it all together Those four together create Magic and master pieces That will forever with stand time. PS: Animals is the best pf album Out of all solo works On an island is very good But it's no Pros and cons of hitchhiking Great fucking album Pss: Isn't ironic the man that claims to own PF Is not a founding member Just pointing that out When David Gilmore was giving the invitation that read Welcome to the machine He came in smiling You have to be trusted By the people that you lie to So that when they turn there backs on you I think we all know the rest
I have sympathy for Roger and he isn’t on his high horse. Roger is part of the bands history and I think it would be good for fans to see Rogers content on the Pink Floyd website.
It's not his fault alone, Gilmour has stated repeatedly as well that he has no plans to have anything more to do with Floyd as a band. I actually prefer the Gilmour years but I do think it's a shame he won't allow Roger to have the Floyd name if he wants to work with it.
Michael Loveland you would indeed. Plant and Page also come to mind, although theirs is not so much rancorous as....indifference? Many others. I guess these are all passionate, creative and driven people,, with strong egos, and when they have a falling out, it’s also passionate. The Gilmore/Waters one has been especially high profile and rancorous.
Michael, I happen to be an actor, screenwriter, and film maker, and you just gave me an idea! Anyone me at leczorn@gmail.com or add me on Facebook at facebook.com/leczorn if you want to discuss it further!
Seriously, if there wasn't ego's problems, pink floyd would have continue till the death of Rick ...but because of those little wars, we will never know the beautiful songs that would exist.
ok I understand, maybe you misunderstood my comment. Maybe if they had stopped to fight like this, they would have good time, create together great things, I don't know... there would be peace in the band, and now they would just live normally I am not thinking that they should have worked all their lives (even if music could be just a hobby). They do what they want ... I am just saying that all they have done, they just stopped it because of some problems that are so little in front of the great music they have made. Even now they continue that fight, while they have their own solo careers... they don't stop that after all of those years ! And that's so sad.... and the fact that they continue to fight is even more sad (sorry if my English is bad, it's not my first language)
And without their great talent, you would have known none of the beautiful songs they made in the first place. Get outta here with that entitled bullshit
@@FlyingGunman00 yes I agree that there would be nothing if they weren't here. But that doesn't take away the fact that to fight like this is really sad.
To the remaining members of The Pink Floyd and to all humankind: It’s indeed unfortunate that the situation has had to escalate thus - regardless of the reasons and their justifications or otherwise, none of which change the final outcome. The only outcome is one where we all lose. Firstly, we the fans, who would dearly love to re-live some of the magic that you have all demonstrated continues to live within you. Secondly, the band has always acknowledged that its greatness stems from being more than the sum of its parts. Nothing has changed in that regard. One cannot help but feel that there is still some magic left untapped; who knows, with all of that musical and life experience combined, what great things could have come from some kind of future collaboration. It seems to be one of those things that we’ll never get to know. “If only”... is probably all we will ever have left of that dream. There are quite literally tens of millions of fans who share this melancholic feeling of “what could have been”. Such a tragic waste of opportunities and possibilities. That’s the price we have to pay as humans, whenever our foibles and pride are able to shout down our better angels within. We are all guilty of that at some time in our lives. For most of us though, the impacts thereby generated are rarely felt so widely and so globally. Godspeed to you Pink Floyd - especially to its members both past and present. Regardless of the legalities of ownership or contracts and of any possessory rights, you will always be The Pink Floyd to us.
Frank A This is so beautifully written, surely most of us involved in debates about who is right and who is not, are not focusing on the possibilities lost.
The man is a colossus of human creativity and expression, deeply experienced by people who connect with Pink Floyd and appreciate the man's obvious genius. I'm sure that's a real good bass player though.
Hey its just art they're not expected to live by it. Lime and limpid green the second scene the blue you once knew. Sorry Sid I probably got that wrong. But you know what I mean.
Politics is division by definition and it's no secret that Rodger and David don't agree politically. That song is amazing and has one of my most favorite lines in any song: "And it was only fantasy, the wall was too high - as you can see, no matter how he tried he could not break free." But the ending lines of the song speak to our desires of unity despite our incompatible differences. It's a desire, that doesn't mean it's obtainable.
I grew up listening to you because my mother was born in the 60s, I’m still young but roger waters, you’ve really made me think about my life, after listening to animals you got me into learning sociology, I listened to the wall at a time where I felt isolated so that comforted me knowing I wasn’t alone. And finally you set off my dreams of becoming a musician. Making rock music that could influence another young person years later, thank you roger
@@DaniloSilva-pl3sq It's a fantastic album, influenced by George Orwell's book "Animal Farm". You have to listen to it, specially "Dogs"and "Sheep"....actually, all of them.
Music and thoughts walk together. Although the important issue is the purpose of music. Let's take over it. Remember. Music and the meaning is what it matters. Cheers!
David owns the rights to Pink Floyd so he should and does have a say on what and who puts shit on the website. Sorry Rog. Shouldn't have fucking quit the band buddy. I love your work but......
@@peterbrown1976 I think he's a bit deluded, Roger took David and Nick to court over them carrying on as Pink Floyd and he lost, Rick was reincorporated as a full band member with the Division Bell album, so Rick, Nick and David are Pink Floyd, Roger quit so is not. Roger has made a hell of a lot of money off the legacy of Floyd and continues to tour extensively raking in millions every year, he is a very rich socialist, instead of whining about it just count your blessings Roger instead of picking at the wounds.
What are you saying??? Fighting and arguing is unfortunately what humans always do. Its just human nature. Why do people like you forget that these two are an actual person, just like everybody else? And at often times, its difficult for a broken relationship to heal back. Just look at The Beatles, Yes, even Queen, And many other bands. I hope you learn how to respect a person.
@@Nekotsu00 Thats true But This Waters /Gilmour (&the late Rick Wright) spat has been more or less in the public eye for nearly 40 years now & at nearly 80 years of age with massive albums & huge financial success still ranting on is a bit sad tbh Its tarnished the whole Pink Floyd legacy At the end of the day Both David Gilmour & Nick Mason own the Pink Floyd brand name (Pink Floyd Music 1987 Ltd)
Both of you need a serious reconstruction of approach when it comes to this issue. You did leave the band. Technically it is David’s channel because you are not on the band anymore. Ethically, I think you should have access. Now I don’t know how you approached David about the issue and I believe that you both have the best intentions. Come together and understand that you are being what you sang and played against. You are becoming the exact thing you warned us about. Listen to the Animals, drink a glass of wine, take a puff of the good sh*t, and talk to each other.
David Gilmour himself isn't in Pink Floyd anymore as the band is no longer active - Endless River was their last album. Theoretically, David is as much a former member as Roger is. They each have their own website/social media pages, but it is only fair that the Pink Floyd one should be equally accessible to each former band member. Many fans want to hear about David's projects as well as Roger's and Nick's
@@jamessilgram3894 I mean, I'm in argreeance with this. I'm sure there were probably selfish motives on both sides in the beginning, but I think the real point here is literally as said, he was a member and the group is no longer active, nor will probably ever be again anymore than what Mr. Waters does already himself. I've been a fan of Floyd since I was 5, own all the albums and enjoy pretty much the vast majority on any given day of the week. I always found the Gilmour albums weak, though The Division Bell does have its moments. It's what those five, but primarily four, guys did that I've always been the most invested in. At their prime, there was none like them, and still isn't today. It should all be celebrated and the legacy of all surviving members moving forward, not just who we're told to agree with cause of the name. Alot of the work and concepts we grew to love wouldn't have been what it was without Rogers's approach, and he deserves to be able to carry that banter no more than the rest. Politics and egos are an ugly game, and it has no place in art in my book. It's no different then the rift between Gabriel and Genesis. Genesis would have been nobody without the work of the Gabriel years and it should be recognized for the love and enjoyment we've had from it throughout the years. And I've no doubt Floyd has more juice in it for the next hand full of generations. I'd love to see everyone get along again, but sadly, when money's involved, eventually the joy of the art gets lost and that's a damn shame, cause Floyd made a lot of captivating and thought provoking stuff throughout their time together, nevermind the millions they inspired that will never reach even half the dedication and thought they achieved back in the day. Not everyone's cut out for a Dark Side of the Moon or a Meddle, but they achieved it. Boys with their toys as they would say. Floyd loved their toys and it showed. Back when music was really about music. Thank you for the body of work you and the other members left us with. I'll be listening till my last breath and if I had kids, they would be too. But it is time to leave politics where it belongs, with the politicians, not the entertainment industry. Give back creative control and corporate go back to just enjoying the benefits of doing nothing, but everybody wants their hand in the cookie jar. Nobodies playing mother and slapping some hands saying you're spoiling your dinner. All that you touch And all that you see All that you taste All you feel And all that you love And all that you hate All you distrust All you save And all that you give And all that you deal And all that you buy Beg, borrow or steal And all you create And all you destroy And all that you do And all that you say And all that you eat And everyone you meet And all that you slight And everyone you fight And all that is now And all that is gone And all that's to come And everything under the sun is in tune As the sun is eclipsed by the moon
Roger isn't in the band anymore, but he is still a PF Shareholder / Director. As I understand things, he did effectively pass control over to DG / NM around the time of AMLOR in return for exclusive control the The Wall. It such a shame that all these years later (and with the band no longer active) that they can't reach an agreement.
@@studiotwo This may be the number one statement of why I never pursued fame. I like to play music. I like to create anything even if it's not music. And while getting paid for it would be nice, the moment someone, who wasn't involved in its creation (besides someone willing to listen, watch or read), gets involved, it suddenly loses its purpose for being created in the first place. Everything you just said makes literally no sense to me. Why would you ever have to or would sell something you created? Like McCartney selling the Beatles songs to Michael Jackson. You've made more than enough money to never work a day in your life and nobody has the right to own the rights to something you created... ...ever. The only exception to that rule is if you stole your idea from someone else.
Absolutely loved the new version, love you Roger you’ve never really left, your souls in the music for all to here no matter who where and when it’s played we all feel it.
This is so sad. I respect you immensely, Mr. Waters. I also respect immensely Messrs. Gilmour and Mason, and Wright. I really hope, before the three of you get too doddery, that you can patch things up. You seem to have come close in recent years, it really saddens me that collectively you haven't all buried the hatchet. And if you can't, then fine. But I really hope that the root cause of all of this isn't money. That would be terribly sad, even more sad than it is already.
Very sadly I don't see it happening. It would be a real delight if Roger and David could managed to alter their personalities, but at their age I think not. It's likely huge egos rather than money are at the root of it. We just hope it's not the end for that line-up but maybe the song really is over, and there is no more to say. We should be thankful they're both around and still creating great music of their own.
Roger, David you're just two lost souls Swimming in a fish bowl year after year Running over the same old ground What have YOU found? The same old fears Wish you were here...again!
No individual band member IS Pink Floyd. Don’t ever think that Pink Floyd’s success was due solely to Roger or solely to David, because it wasn’t. In the end, they all came together to create something greater than the sum of their parts. Pink Floyd wouldn’t have been the emotional powerhouse that it was without Roger’s lyrics. He is a truly one of the great poets of the 20th century, on par with John Lennon. But this band would never have become renowned as one of the greatest rock bands of all time without nothing David’s skill and mastery of the guitar; he is considered one of the greatest players ever. But there was more to Pink Floyd than just Roger and David. Rick created ethereal, otherworldly soundscapes on the keys, and he responsible for the signature Pink Floyd “sound” that we all know. And Nick wasn’t a fast paced, clamorous drummer, but just like Ringo, he had “feel” and knew how to back the music, which is essentially to a band that explores human emotion. And of course, Syd, the piper himself. His time in the band was short, but his presence never truly left the band, and his ghost can be felt all throughout Pink Floyd’s discography. He was person full of raw, creative energy. There’s really no point in having Roger’s influence on the website anyway. He’s already made his mark on the music world and everyone already knows about his work. No one is questioning his career, even if it isn’t documented on the website.
Agree. Some of us love Roger, some of us love David, some of us love Syd, some of us love Richard and some of us love Nick but.. WE ALL LOVE PINK FLOYD!
@j Durini Hey fuckwit, go get a mule and ride it into the mountains and stop bothering everybody. You're the lowest lQ person I've ever encountered. ua-cam.com/video/mj8KdXQn3ZY/v-deo.html
@AJ Isca Because he didn't write most of the music and he couldn't even tune his own bass. David Gilmour even played the bass parts for him on the albums. After he left, they became way more popular than they were when he was a member.
@AJ Isca Most people care about music and the sound of the vocals more than they do about lyrics. The other members of PF are highly gifted musicians. Syd Barrett, Rick Wright, Nick Mason, and David Gilmour are the ones who developed the Pink Floyd sound, Roger Waters was just a guy who was hanging around who could barely play bass. No one considers Roger Waters to be a great bass player, but the others are considered great at their instruments, he was the weakest link. Rick Wright and David Gilmour are the most responsible for propelling them as far as they got. The key to pf was the dreamlike, spacey keyboard and guitar parts. Roger Waters was just a negative energy in the band that caused a lot of tension. He was the Yoko of the band. It's not that the other members have disagreements, no, similar to how his ex wife feels, the other members of PF absolutely hate Roger Waters, he brings hate out of people. Syd Barrett hated him, as does David Gilmour and Rick Wright did too. Only Nick Mason has somewhat mended fences with Roger, and isn't documented as actually hating him currently. Remember, Nick said he thought Roger was joking about making a guest appearance at his show, implying that Roger is typically a self-centered jerk. We know why Roger Waters did that one Nick Mason appearance, all so he could feel like he's not 100 percent alienated from Pink Floyd, but genuinely, he is. They try not to even mention Roger Waters on the official Pink Floyd website, he's not remembered fondly by his bandmates or anyone else, so now he's just an old tosser who is desperate to remain relevant to the far left and the far right antisemites, because no one else cares.
Roger left the band a long time ago. This has been well know and folks can subscribe to his pages. Even if there is a point to be made, this monologue is petty and sad.
Roger FIRED Rick Wright. Fuck Roger Waters. Some small joy he is whining about this. Don’t you have enough money yet mate? Stop embarrassing yourself. Not dignified for a FORMER member of The Pink Floyd.
I started listening to Pink floyd when i was ten, im 53 this year. Roger your voice and music has been a constant presence for 43 years. Thank you for the music and human insight. Pleas stay safe we cant afford to lose another voice of your generation.
Hey ! It started when I was 13. I am now 64 :) Will you still need me will you still feed me ? Juste kidding but I am 64 and I was 13 years old when I got my education ! THANK YOU Roger Water ! God bless you Matt.
When I initially saw 'ANNOUNCEMENT' I wondered if this could be an amazing life-changing event. Like Roger and Dave had a few beers and smoked a few joints and did a Bro hug and then declared together in unity "let's get back to where we once belonged and fuck shit up again, yo." Instead I got this pointless fucking shit.
When you two guys were together you produced some of the most amazing and genius music of all time. Though i dont know you both personally im just a fan but my judgement tells me you and david are both really down to earth blokes, im sure you can work out this too long old rift. Never forget the good times and great achievements that only you two together could of have ever made. We are only here for a blink....
As Waters' lawyer reputedly said to him in the mid-80s, "Roger, if you resign from IBM, you don't still get to tell IBM how to be IBM!" Gilmour doesn't think he owns the website. It's just that Gilmour and Mason are still in Pink Floyd. Waters isn't.
@@HappyAitch Absolutely irrelevant. Pink Floyd can put anything they like on their website. And refuse anything they don't like. The point is Roger Waters is no longer part of Pink Floyd. By his own choice.
Ford Prefect seems to me it isn’t his choice and I stand by the Polly Sampson thing. But that’s a matter of opinion isn’t it? And now all I can see in my head is someone walking about in a dressing gown, thanks for that image.
@@HappyAitch No one said she was in Pink Floyd. She features on videos of 'The Von Trapped Family, which is...David Gilmour's family. She has also been Pink Floyd and Gilmour's lyricist since 1992 - longer than Waters was! Did Gilmour object to Waters putting a large photo of his wife on a PF album sleeve in 1969? No. Waters will go to the grave pretending that he is still in Pink Floyd. Meanwhile, Gilmour is getting on with his life. He seems happy. I hope he is.
There is much stuff in this post that I’d argue with you about but I can’t be bothered, you’ll never change your opinion and neither will I. So I shall bow out before it turns into a mud slinging match.
I could understand if roger was unhappy about this treatment after just leaving the band, but he didnt just leave, he tried to end the band with his departure because HE thought he owned PF and thought that HE was PF. He accuses David of being the narcissist but in reality it was roger and that's why he's been banned
@Terrence Reardon and Friends Podcast Podcast wow that is some bile your spewin there, you little bag of rectal juice. do you even know Pink Floyd. are you from canada by any chance !
I have always felt that what i love in Pink Floyd is coming from you... You are a genius and you bring so much beauty in my life though your music, so I wanted to say thank you ! That "beef" between you and David making me so sad, because he is my favorite guitarist, and it was amazing when you were together on a song...
"Wouldn't you like to see...the band together again, my friend?" While it would have been nice if the official PF site had acknowledged Roger's recent post with a, "Here's a lovely version of Mother by our old friend, Roger Waters," sadly this wasn't to be. Pink Floyd will always be a shimmering light in a lot of our lives, but it's been clear who owns the band and the franchise for decades now. We look to Gilmour for any snippets of new PF material, and I think we all know he's largely been done with it post the last full studio album. It's tough for fans: Roger is arguably one of the more talented song writers Britain has produced, and Dave's guitar work strides like a colossus through rock's history, and we love them both. Collectively PF have produced some of the most creative pieces of musical artistry the music industry has ever seen, and perhaps that passion from such imaginative and intelligent people, brings us here, at an impasse over expression.
Didn't Gilmour announce that the band was over after they released The Endless River? That means the website and social media should promote work by all 5 former members of the band instead of just Gilmour and Polly.
Because grown men act like children.. grow up and get over the egos. You’ve all proved yourself 50 years ago so lets move on and play nice again. Pink Floyd music rocks!
"David thinks he owns it because I left the band" Yeah Roger, that's kind of how it works. From wikipedia "Roger went to the High Court in an effort to dissolve the band and prevent the use of the Pink Floyd name, declaring Pink Floyd "a spent force creatively".[187] When Waters' lawyers discovered that the partnership had never been formally confirmed, Waters returned to the High Court in an attempt to obtain a veto over further use of the band's name. Gilmour responded with a press release affirming that Pink Floyd would continue to exist.[188] The sides reached an out-of-court agreement, finalised on Gilmour’s houseboat the Astoria on Christmas Eve 1987.[189] In 2013, Waters said he regretted the lawsuit and had failed to appreciate that the Pink Floyd name had commercial value independent of the band members" Roger, your ego did this to you, not David. You just want in on that Pink Floyd merch money. Isn't royalties enough? You left, called them a spent force and they carried on. Now you want back in for monetary purposes. Roger, you're a legend of a song writer but a lesson to the future genius lyricists that controlling ones ego is the most important thing in life.
From a legal standpoint, then yes that is correct. George Roger Waters is no longer a part of the band and as such cannot use Pink Floyd as a sharing tool. However, as he said in the video, we are all entitled to our opinions, and I personally do agree with Roger that the Pink Floyd should display the side projects of all the three surviving members. In saying that though, Roger’s own page still has many followers and he’s still the richest Pink Floyd member, I don’t see why it’s THAT much of an issue for him.
Thank you for clarifying that. It's important for all the fans to this information. The albums made after the final cut were amazing. That is really what I think oh by the way which one's Pink. Lol
After the band split up, which was after The Final Cut (aptly named), David Samson put out an album under the artist name of David Gilmour. Since everybody knows David Samson is a no-talent fool, nobody bought his crappy album. So, David Samson, along with horrific drummer Nick Mason, decided to call themselves Pink Floyd to fool the fools. Apparently it worked to a degree. But true fans know that Samson/Mason was just fake Floyd not Pink Floyd.
I don't think it's really so much about merch money as it is the fact the PF website reaches WAY MORE people than Roger's own website does, depriving Roger of the chance to promote his latest solo projects, political pontifications etc. Like you said, Roger lost the court case as far as the PF name is concerned, so that's history. At that time, I'm sure it was easy for the guy (Roger) to want to get rid of the PF name because of the legal problems it was causing, but I'm sure the others (Nick and Dave, Rick later) felt that was easy for the guy (Roger) with the overwhelming majority of the writing credits to say. He didn't need the name to make a living; they did. Had Syd Barrett not been in the mental state he was in, by rights, HE would have been the only one who could say what could or could not be done with the Pink Floyd name since he created it.
@@kermsk3820 "Pink Floyd should display the side projects of all the three surviving members. " You mean TWO surviving members. Roger CHOSE to leave and not be a member. It's like me trying to get my ex-wife to put our wedding pictures on her mantle next to her current one. She's out of the family, she left. However she still gets alimony. Thats all Roger is entitled to. Did Syd quit? No Richard? Died Nick? Stayed David? Stayed Roger? Gave up, tried to end it (in an attempt to have the best solo works over David and be better) so Pink Floyd couldn't compete with his solo Albums. Roger is great but man, so egotistical. He's a hero of mine because he teaches me how to be great at one thing, and where we can improve on another where he is less than perfect.
Roger, I truly understand what you are saying especially about Polly and her getting a free plug for her novels, I don’t agree with that. I love you man but I can also see Davids point of view. Lets face it he is never going to get over you trying to sue him that is a wound that will be cut very Deep and I can understand why. Another point is which Hill are you dying on ? Because when asked normally you say “they are my songs not pink floyds” but now the tune you sing is “It was a team effort we all were Floyd”. The latter statement is correct Roger, you should say that more. Anyone with any sense knows you were the driving force and creator, but god those songs wouldn’t be the songs they are if not for the amazing musicians you had building on top of your foundations. Pink is an entity and not a single one of you. God Bless and I hope this issue gets sorted because it is a shame, but I can see both points of view so who knows what will happen,
@Allen Albright I didn't say he wasn't more Pink Floyd, but I wouldn't put more fault on either one with the issue, although I do also generally have a penchant towards Waters
I know you and David can come to an arrangement, you both along side Nick, Rick and Syd created art with your music, which has changed many lives, including mine. I profoundly admire your work and I’m a big fan of you and Pink Floyd, all the fans will love to see you, David and Nick come together and resolve all the problems form the past
I thank God I lived in the time of Pink Floyd, watching their albums come out, experiencing them fresh and new, seeing them live, and having such beautiful music to enjoy and ponder and lean on.

As you can read in your bible.
I really like Roger in so many ways especially musically but he treated the other members like shit before he left and even had Rick fired from the band. Playing together is more than just about being musicians it's about being a team. They ceased being a team with Roger decades ago. Having said that, I must admit it must feel strange to hear David singing the lyrics he wrote all those years ago. But then, equally it must be strange for David listening to others playing guitar parts he invented. Still, move on! You have a fucking great life compared to the average Joe working for a minimal wage or someone unemployed that struggles to find work. This is like having a bad divorce full of animosity and then others expecting you to get together again because it will please them. They both have their egos and have done wrongs and rights. But there are some things you can't return to. That's life!
I believe that they screwed Rick back in the day and wasnt "officially" recognized as a member of the band until years later. The will regret the fighting, but, It wont be until one of them dies.
Agree, I've always preferred David over Roger. Roger always seemed to be full of anger and resentment concerning his father and WW2, and he's such a self-righteous jack-ass that I find it hard to even listen to what this man says.
It doesn't matter wat people say you are a genius. So is Mr Gilmour. Its sad we all can't get along .The music speaks for itself.Always been a big fan and will be till I'm gone from this planet.
Roger Waters treated everyone who had anything to do with the band very badly. From Syd Barrett to Richard Wright and even Claire Torrey and when he asked Alan Parsons to return he turned you down flat because of how he was treated after the amazing work he did for Dark Side of the Moon... the lesson here Roger Waters isn't learning is that if you want people to treat you with respect, you have to treat them with a little human decency and fairness. Sad to see even into his 70s he still hasn't learned it. No humility, no accountability. No understanding. No personal responsibility... just more victim mentality and whining about others. You left the band 35 years ago and tried to make it as hard as possible for them to continue on without you. You kicked Wright out of the band and when you left, Gilmour brought him back... think about that and learn the lesson you brick in a wall.
he also tried to SEW the band for the name Pink Floyd when he left because he wanted to carry on the name with his singles. so if anyone thinks they are Pink Floyd it would be Roger. he literally tried to take the bands name because he thought he had written all their music which is bullshit.
Difficult personality. But can you imagine his stress during the wall and kther project? Similar as Steve Jobs... thats it. Babies are borning in pain...
@@rezonance1000 yeh I definitely believe the amount of things he was doing combined with his fame is what got to him and I feel for him through that. however that dose not excuse the way he treated the people who got him everything he had ever wanted in his life. If Roger never knew David Rick and Nick can you even imagine where he would be in life? because I really dont think that he would have had the motivation in life to try that hard musically at the beginning of his career without them. he berated people who grew a career side by side with him, also at the time of the wall David was goin through a divorce and Rick was fighting a drug addiction so can you imagine the stress they felt when someone who was vital in there band turned on them and fired one of them? idk dude its just sad I wish it was diffrent
Roger thought that when he left the band that they could not live without him. Guess what? Roger, you can start a website of your own and put anything that you want on it, were you aware of that? It sounds like someone is not making as much money as they used to and being overshadowed by others. You made your choices, now live with them.
Although, a huge portion of Floyd's successful stuff was made by Waters, so while I do agree he shouldn't have been banned from the official website, He shouldn't be acting all high and mighty after all, it was he who left the band, there's going to be consequences of that. Instead of making up, these two have constantly been stabbing each other over and over again, and for a bunch of prog rock/psychedelic rock legends, I'd say their behaviour is extremely childish.
@@siddhanthbhattacharyya4206 You say they have been stabbing each other, what has Dave done or said about Roger that was negative? I can only find statements where Dave has told what has happened but not insulted Roger or talked him down; on the other hand Roger goes out of his way to insult Dave and others.
Dear Roger, with all my respect to what you have done in your life I would remind you about these SIMPLE FACTS : 1. It was you, who decided to shut down one of the biggest rock bands of all time in 1985 2. It was you, who sued the remaining members of the band and lost the legal battle 3. It was you, who regarded the contribution of the other band members less important than yours by your acts stated above 4. It is you, who has fiercely denied any ties to "THAT BAND" in numerous interviews 5. It was you, who offendedly reacted when less informed fans assumed you had had some contribution to the release of "THAT BAND'S" latest album The Endless River 6. It is you, who has made several times some really degrading, humiliating comments about David Gilmour's wife, Polly Samson, who by the way is a great writer and lyricist. To some extent I understand your intention to please some fans, but believe me, real Floyd fans have no problem to follow PF feed simoultaneously with yours. So, why do you want to be so desperately affiliated with "THAT BAND" suddenly?
If ever there was a time to put past conflicts aside and move towards a more positive future, it's now. Pink Floyd is a mighty voice that people have listened to and loved for decades. The world is filled with people that could use a beacon of light to focus on. Please become one once again.......all of you. 🌸
unnecessary my friend ... unnecessary I watch you two daily. The wall, pompeii, Pink Floyd videos ... these concerts make my quarantine happier. stop fighting
Mom, Dad, please stop fighting. We all love you both, why don't you love us back a little and work this out, so we can go back to be a happy family again? Please! If not, and you want to divorce, at least respect each other, so we can come together once in a while, for holidays or something, without starting a fight again. Pleeeease!
I watch Steve Hackett's daily videos where he comments on old Genesis songs (and his own music too). He has great respect for his old band mates and mentions Tony, Mike, "Pete" and Phil with nothing but warm words. Let that be a lesson to all of us.
That's bc Hackett is a classy guy. With gratitude and warmth in his heart. He appreciated what and with whom he participated, all those years ago. NOT driven by his ego. He gets reality. He knows the world doesn't revolve around himself. Unlike this bloke.
@@barnabyjones8333 yeah I gave up on Roger YEARS ago. Go and watch the UA-cam video where he bitches all about American Exceptionalism...I'm inclined to agree with him about that but by the time he gets through he's pointing his finger at the USA over WW2 !! So you can imagine what dealing with him over band issues is like...he starts by saying "hey we're a band right ?" and then by the time the discussion is ending he's getting the larger amount of the payday and YOU are the one who's at fault for the band's disagreements !! This guy's just simply a total asshole even when you're agreeing with him ! Simple to see... the world's markets are tanking because of Co-Vid and it's affecting his bottom line so you get these weak-ass attempts at reforming the band for $$$ not for any sense of "hey we're a band right ?".

I have loved this man since I was twelve. Going on 50 this year. Would be the biggest on my bucket list to meet Mr. Waters. I do hope you tour again. I will require backstage passes. Thank you Mr. Waters for infusing my life's blood with a wealth of fine music composition and a depth of integris for perception and sound. And Happy Father's Day Sir. Regards, Michael J Badger
Mike Badger in April 1967 I worked as a barman in West Kensington London and one evening the members of Pink Floyd came in and I spent the evening serving their drinks in the saloon bar .There were 4 of them and their favourite tipple was vodka and orange .I'd love to ask Roger about that and wonder if he remembered it and confirm I wasn't dreaming! 3 of them sadly have gone and Gilmour had yet to join them .Only Roger could now confirm, if he remembers ,that evening at the Barons Court.
Peter Gabriel left Genesis and went on solo, did his thing and got successful. Genesis were even more successful. Never heard him talk shit about Genesis. Now that’s a class act.
Yeah... At this rate, there will be no more Pink Floyd reunion i think Both of Roger and David are too stubborn Nick himself doesn't want to entangled with their feud There's really no hope for a reunion and unfortunately we as a fans can only hope for one
@@TMthe33rd These gentlemen are way beyond any prospect of a reunion - and some things should come to an end. This is about Mr. Gilmour seeming to attempt the removal of all traces of an integral part of P.F. through their most potent years. Pink Floyd wouldn't have been nearly as influential, I don't believe, without Roger's brilliant, creative contributions combined with Mr. Gilmour's musicality. I must assume the pain of the legal fight for the band's name lingers, decades later.
You need to do your research. David sounds even more egotistical now than Roger did 40yrs ago. Roger met with David to clear the air and let by gone be by gone and was brutally rejected. David hates Roger. If you look up the video of David, Nick special appearance of The Wall during the end of Outside the wall, David clearly doesn't want to be there.
@@peateargriffin7593 Roger spent decades (and still does) slandering David and Pink Floyd after he left, but no, David is the bad guy here. Screw that.
Come on guys, life's too short, especially in times like these. I was fortunate enough to have been at the O2 in 2011 for comfortably numb, looks like it may never happen again.
@@dukeallen432 how is commenting that it would be great to see them together again about me ? Incidentally, it's whining not wining, at least learn to spell properly.
Pink Floyd has never been a constant. David arrived, Syd left. There were some glory years of absolute music perfection, and you left Roger. When you left, so did the true creative diversity. The guitar, drumming and keyboard genius remained which kept the band going and after MLOR, started to lose the creative genius that it had sounding very similar to Gilmours solo style (with a couple of exceptions). In the meantime you have written simply some of the best albums I have ever heard in my life. Your fans know who you are and the part you have played in the skill and talent of what is left of Pink Floyd. Just leave it mate.... you can’t say your career needs the boost and neither does your ego. Nobody owns Pink Floyd.... it exists only in name now and you are still part of the history.
@aNIM eSoCialGREEN GODGAMINGNEWS if it ‘Belonged’ to anybody then you could say Syd, since he founded it. Too many creative minds to give credit to one person imo
Roger, the band could not have been without either one of you. You both brought a special talent and skill to the band. I was deeply saddened when you left the band and even a little angry. But I have realized that you both do have different styles and idiology. And I do love both your work. Truth be told I like your presentation better. As a dedicated fan I cannot turn my back to either of you. I would love nothing more that to see you settle your differences I would even travel to another country to see you together not just for show but with your heart's united. I don't have to agree with the people I love and interact with but I do respect their opinions and convictions. I do know exactly what it is like to keep banging your heart on a mad buggas wall. Stay safe and healthy my friend. Looking forward to seeing you in DC 2021.
Absolutely right, and as there is no longer a Pink Floyd then David Gilmore should be moving on as well. F-it Pink Floyd had it's day and Gilmore shouldn't be wallowing in what was but freeing himself for what is. Played in a band, bought the t-shirt, band broke up, move the eff on like fans had to.
@@davesunhammer4218 Gilmour DID move on.....15 years ago. He only does solo shows. Him and Nick though DO own the Pink Floyd name. They've said repeatedly that they've put Floyd to bed. Waters keeps on about it....35 years after leaving the band....
@@ricarleite Seriously? Gilmour and Mason spend time finishing off demos to honor Rick Wright and you want to whine? Was there a tour? Were there music videos? No there wasn't. The honored their fallen band member.....and let it be. Waters on the other hand left the band in '85, spent 2 years suing the band because they didn't stop when he left.....and then has spent the last 35 years touring......playing Floyd music....and bitching about them doing the same..... I love the music, but sorry, Waters is a whiny bitch. Has been for 30 plus years.
So upsetting to hear this. I'd give my left nut to have you all reconcile your differences, find peace and friendship amongst yourselves again, and together go on to make another studio album and then go out on tour. What a gift to mankind that would be. One can dream...
One can dream of such a reunion studio album. The last time they all played together back in 2005 is when they should have got together after the concert and head in straight to the nearest recording studio to make the last true album.
@@pts5217 PF made an album called "Animals" in which cover we can see an old english factory (a symbol that embodies classical capitalism, initiated with the english industrial revolution) and a pig floating over it. Do your math.
I definitely agree that you should be recognized on the official Pink Floyd website but I also think you should talk to other surviving members of the band about releasing the unused "The Wall Tour" footage. Thanks
True! Roger was there before David... just saying... regardless, Pink Floyd is the greatest band in history, imo. Sad such beautiful work became so contentious... so glad Roger acknowledged Syd in this video (without which PF would have never existed.)
I mean this very earnestly, Roger -- why do you guys have a conundrum with each other? Both of you are great men -- soulful, intelligent, mature and believe in the power of music. Music can help to accelerate our awakening to life, make us kinder, make us wiser. You have differences -- but the truth is, the world has gotten so crazy and to see two men who deserve to feel that they are brothers settle for an "amicable" neutrality is a little sad. I don't know what the personal differences are and it's not my business. ...When I think about musicians and their legacies, I always remember Leonard Cohen, and the tiff he had with his manager, who ended up taking all of his money while he was a Zen Monk in the California mountains. He said, even after she had basically spent all of his money, and he would never see it again, "Well, you know, I still like her!" So...I don't know. We love both you and David Gilmour and I personally am grateful for what your music has done for humanity. Thank you.
I really don't think it's about money at all, it's ego. Obviously, Roger was extremely significant to PF, and PF would never have happened without him, or at least not in the form that we all know and love. But after he left the band, PF continued on without him, just as it continued on without Syd. When Roger was paid in the settlement of the law-suit that he initiated, he gave up the rights to the PF name. Roger actually has more money than Gilmour and the rest because of the financial settlement. None of them need the money, they are all multi-millionaires many many times over. It's not about the money. I understand Roger's feelings that he should be on the website because he was a huge part of Pink, but he gave up that legal right. I understand David's feelings as well. In the past, Roger had made a derogatory statement, or pulled David's Wife Polly into the arguments or rift between the two. I feel that is something that David can't or won't let go. I also believe, although it is never mentioned, that David was extremely hurt personally when Roger left. Imagine if your bandmate, and friend left, and then turned around and sued you and tried to prevent you from playing under your band's name. Of course David was angry. Roger was wrong and has admitted so, which I admire Roger for doing. I don't think that mentioning Polly in this circumstance will help in his goal of being put on the official PF site. It is unfortunate that this impasse still remains, but it will probably remain until one or both of them are dead. I love both Roger and David and like a child in a divorce it is painful to watch the continuing rift between the two, but I fear it will continue. And like that child I try not to choose sides between the two. I appreciate what Roger and David have both given us. They should both just completely let it go, and enjoy the fantastic lives that they have with their money, children, grandchildren, music, and charities. My god, what I could do with a few hundred million dollars, but I digress. But unfortunately, I believe that they both have let it go, as much as they are capable of doing so.
@@thatnico8697 unless they decided to create the final album of pink floyd The endless river nick and Gilmour created only two of them with some help and it will be nice if the 3 will create the final album for pink floyd
Hello Roger, I love what you do, and I am sorry about this video. Please read this, as I listened to all your video. I am myself a musician, though not famous at all. You are lucky. You have the chance to play music with anyone you want, you have international fame, everyone knows you were one of the main creators in Pink Floyd until 1985. You said it yourself though, you quit the band in 1985 (and it didn't go smoothly). So no, you are not part of "The Pink Floyd" anymore, but that should be ok, why do you care ? You are well recognized for your great artistic contribution world-widely anyway (including for Pink Floyd), I really believe you would gain at letting it go. I would find more appropriate if you were to say "I regret that I left Pink Floyd"if that's the case, rather than pretending you should legitimately still be a part of it. That would be the higher road, the loving road. Maybe that's hard to hear from a non-famous person like me, but during your shows you give really great speeches about loving one another, so hear it from yourself and apply it. All this is history, leave it there, be Great ! I understand though that you may be sad, and I feel you. Love, Rémi
Good post, although keep in mind that these aren't stupid people, they know there are lots of hits from making videos like this, a lot more than whatever latest political message would be forthcoming. People like drama, its a good way to get free advertising.
Seems to me that ol' Roger hasn't really learnt a damn thing in over 30yrs since he left the band and can't see the elephant in the room is actually himself. His ego and his arrogance really haven't softened at all. Perhaps he should muse on the fact that PF lasted 20yrs with him yet over 30 further years without him....When you have 2 strong willed personalities within the band its inevitable there will be a fall out. But when one looks more closely at all the stuff that happened in the band and out of it, its not difficult to see the one having a hard time coming to terms with things and accepting responsibility of why the band broke up is Roger. I've never seen any videos put out by any of the other band members slagging off the others in the way that Roger does and its really sad that even after their momentary reunion in the park that wonderful day, Roger still doesn't get it. We all hoped he would, but he just doesn't.
You guys are ridiculous. Roger has made many efforts to reconcile in recent years and he's even had Gilmour on stage for one of his performances of Comfortably Numb during the Wall tour. David is clearly still showing contempt for him by excluding him from Pink Floyd's website, the band that HE piloted into stardom.
@@AllDayWillis waters made his bed. now he complains because he doesn't like it. we all have to deal with the consequences of our actions. Waters is no different. just because he's more vocal doesn't mean he's right, and just because you want forgiveness doesn't mean you're entitled to it. And even if he is forgiven, it doesn't mean they have to go back for more.
There's no right or wrong within this scenario All of them took their roles and play their parts And we, as a fans, are the spectators Can only hope that the show would everlast
I love Roger, he is a living legend, but he has some wrong ideas about life in general. He was the one who sued his old bandmates back in the 80's, the whole trial thing was because of him. If the Pink Floyd official page doesn't promote Roger's work, it's because legally, he hasnt been part of the band for 35 years already, not because Dave Gilmour is an asshole or something. I don't even understand why this is still relevant. Roger has made a name on it's own. I went to see him live in 2018 and the show was amazing. He performs mostly Pink Floyd songs, so I guess he has to pay a lot of royalties but still, he makes thousands of dollars with his tours.
he doesn't have to pay royalties because he never gave up his rights to the music he wrote. Gilmour can't put out a greatest hits album with older Floyd on it without Roger's ok to this day.
I don't know if "getting the band back together" is ever gonna be a thing, but you all should hopefully one day share in the parts each of you contributed to making Pink Floyd great, and sharing that between each of you. I think sharing a website, sharing each persons accomplishments, would be a great way for fans to find every piece of magic that was. is and will always be embodiment of Pink Floyd, and what has grown from it. Sadly the human condition is always what gets in the way of humanity being it's best. I thank every member of the band for making music that made some of these days of mine better for hearing you.
I am glad to know - your opinion really matters. Not! Do you feel important when writing ignorant things like that? And btw do you think he cares if you like him or not? The answer is NO, actually no one does.

Somewhere on my hard drive, I have a picture of him as young. Believe me. He looks better now and I actually think he looks fine regardless of anything because he's the Roger Waters! A very important part of Pink Floyd and with impressive work after that. Sad that David is such a primadonna. When Roger left the band, he left with its teeth. I think David knows that and is somewhat envious.
It's sad that there's still so much animosity and anger, after all these years.
it is sad...at least its one sided... Pink Floyd moved on until Rick Wright's passing...as a fan, Rogers leaving was sad at first, till reading of all the strife that left and stayed with him. the rest just changed the channel and moved on. why look back now, nothing there to see that would make anyones life more enjoyable. Roger has his career, i wish him luck, no need to go away mad, just go away and get on with it. DSOTM will probably NEVER be eclipsed by any band ever... it was a musical miracle, probably never to be outdone...with Rick gone, a lot of the musical soul of the band is gone, and thats just that...hate that Pink Floyd is over, but happy to see Gilmour enjoying his family, doing his philanthropy, always talking in a respectable and polite manner, Nick enjoying his racing/collecting, and 'the band' still getting together and just playing for fun at times... life is good for all, including Roger, but my guess is regret has him trying to leave a better legacy, thats a deep hole to dig out of.
Truer words.
Anyone that says they have no regrets is lying.

I've never actually seen Waters 'fight'... at least since they were in court. I think he's too nice to them. Gilmour wasn't an original member of the band, and has treated it like his personal empire since the mid 80s.
I could be wrong but, if anything, Waters seems cowed by them.
That's how things should go in a ideal world. Rogers apologize for his authoritarian attitude in the mid 80s and praise David for his huge contribution musically acknowledging that pink Floyd could have never existed without him and his musical talent. Then David to praise Roger for his unique combination of passion, lyrics and creativity also admitting that pink Floyd could never be what it represents without Roger. Finally they would both get drunk talking about how Syd Barrett story and LSD trip in Pompeii. ...

Pretty sure, yeah.
Roger, man, life is short dude. You've got to get off your high horses and unite for one last send off to the Pink Floyd legacy. One album to tie it all together. I believe. We believe. There's still time.
Even if Rog and Gilmie did bury the hatchet and become friends they wouldn't do a PF reboot for the simple reason that Rick is no longer alive, David said that PF is done and to go on without Rick would be wrong
I agree
Richard was so very unique and talented
He gave PF a sound that no other could.
It would be like momentary lapse of reason
(A good attempt)
Division bell
Good album however sounds like it's missing something
We all know what it is
Pink Floyd is Rogers lyrics
Bass lines that were made for the music
David's breath taking guitar
Rogers & David's & Richards voices
Richards hey we're pink Floyd sound
And nicks perfect back beat tying it all together
Those four together create
Magic and master pieces
That will forever with stand time.
PS: Animals is the best pf album
Out of all solo works
On an island is very good
But it's no
Pros and cons of hitchhiking
Great fucking album
Pss: Isn't ironic the man that claims to own PF
Is not a founding member
Just pointing that out
When David Gilmore was giving the invitation that read
Welcome to the machine
He came in smiling
You have to be trusted
By the people that you lie to
So that when they turn there backs on you
I think we all know the rest
True
I have sympathy for Roger and he isn’t on his high horse. Roger is part of the bands history and I think it would be good for fans to see Rogers content on the Pink Floyd website.
It's not his fault alone, Gilmour has stated repeatedly as well that he has no plans to have anything more to do with Floyd as a band. I actually prefer the Gilmour years but I do think it's a shame he won't allow Roger to have the Floyd name if he wants to work with it.
If I would have been just a tad smarter, I would have specialized in couples therapy for rock musicians. I'd be a bloody billionaire.
rofl!
lol
Michael Loveland you would indeed. Plant and Page also come to mind, although theirs is not so much rancorous as....indifference? Many others. I guess these are all passionate, creative and driven people,, with strong egos, and when they have a falling out, it’s also passionate. The Gilmore/Waters one has been especially high profile and rancorous.
Wow how cool would that profession be to do for 30-40 yrs.
Michael, I happen to be an actor, screenwriter, and film maker, and you just gave me an idea! Anyone me at leczorn@gmail.com or add me on Facebook at facebook.com/leczorn if you want to discuss it further!
Seriously, if there wasn't ego's problems, pink floyd would have continue till the death of Rick ...but because of those little wars, we will never know the beautiful songs that would exist.
these humans owe you squat. What have you created for them? Get working. Chimps so selfish.
David is the most quiet man on music, who's ego
ok I understand, maybe you misunderstood my comment.
Maybe if they had stopped to fight like this, they would have good time, create together great things, I don't know... there would be peace in the band, and now they would just live normally
I am not thinking that they should have worked all their lives (even if music could be just a hobby). They do what they want ...
I am just saying that all they have done, they just stopped it because of some problems that are so little in front of the great music they have made. Even now they continue that fight, while they have their own solo careers... they don't stop that after all of those years !
And that's so sad.... and the fact that they continue to fight is even more sad
(sorry if my English is bad, it's not my first language)
And without their great talent, you would have known none of the beautiful songs they made in the first place. Get outta here with that entitled bullshit
@@FlyingGunman00 yes I agree that there would be nothing if they weren't here. But that doesn't take away the fact that to fight like this is really sad.
To the remaining members of The Pink Floyd and to all humankind:
It’s indeed unfortunate that the situation has had to escalate thus - regardless of the reasons and their justifications or otherwise, none of which change the final outcome.
The only outcome is one where we all lose. Firstly, we the fans, who would dearly love to re-live some of the magic that you have all demonstrated continues to live within you. Secondly, the band has always acknowledged that its greatness stems from being more than the sum of its parts. Nothing has changed in that regard. One cannot help but feel that there is still some magic left untapped; who knows, with all of that musical and life experience combined, what great things could have come from some kind of future collaboration. It seems to be one of those things that we’ll never get to know.
“If only”... is probably all we will ever have left of that dream. There are quite literally tens of millions of fans who share this melancholic feeling of “what could have been”.
Such a tragic waste of opportunities and possibilities. That’s the price we have to pay as humans, whenever our foibles and pride are able to shout down our better angels within. We are all guilty of that at some time in our lives. For most of us though, the impacts thereby generated are rarely felt so widely and so globally.
Godspeed to you Pink Floyd - especially to its members both past and present. Regardless of the legalities of ownership or contracts and of any possessory rights, you will always be The Pink Floyd to us.

@@clairvoyantmole8668 ... and nowadays maintained by David.
@@SpliffieBee I thought he played on Roger Waters' tour as a special guest... doesn't look like maintaining a wall to me.

It's getting too tense, baleful and hostile around this place, Rog! Let us all cut our shit!
@@MrBooYa-yd5er so true
How I wish, How I wish you were here.
The irony is Roger has recorded albums, given concerts for 40 years about anti-war and yet this battle goes on. I thought they made up at Live 8
That was all optics.
It was done with lasers, like the moon landing 🤔
"Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all
Together we stand, divided we fall." didn’t you guys write this?
Yeah the same way John Lennon wrote Imagine and How do you sleep in the same album. What they write and what they do are often quite contraditctory.
Hey its just art they're not expected to live by it. Lime and limpid green the second scene the blue you once knew. Sorry Sid I probably got that wrong. But you know what I mean.
That last line, somehow I often remembered the lyrics the other way around. Must have my great cosmic insight into the reality in the band.
Politics is division by definition and it's no secret that Rodger and David don't agree politically. That song is amazing and has one of my most favorite lines in any song: "And it was only fantasy, the wall was too high - as you can see, no matter how he tried he could not break free." But the ending lines of the song speak to our desires of unity despite our incompatible differences. It's a desire, that doesn't mean it's obtainable.
That sentence is the naked truth
I grew up listening to you because my mother was born in the 60s, I’m still young but roger waters, you’ve really made me think about my life, after listening to animals you got me into learning sociology, I listened to the wall at a time where I felt isolated so that comforted me knowing I wasn’t alone. And finally you set off my dreams of becoming a musician. Making rock music that could influence another young person years later, thank you roger
A sincere question: what does Animals has to do with sociology? I've never listened to this album.
@@DaniloSilva-pl3sq Animals is a cynical satire on the different social classes, their behaviors, and the in-between.

You are f*cking right

My point exactly, he tried everything to shut them down and still can't get over it. 🤷♂️

@@peterbrown1976 I think he's a bit deluded, Roger took David and Nick to court over them carrying on as Pink Floyd and he lost, Rick was reincorporated as a full band member with the Division Bell album, so Rick, Nick and David are Pink Floyd, Roger quit so is not. Roger has made a hell of a lot of money off the legacy of Floyd and continues to tour extensively raking in millions every year, he is a very rich socialist, instead of whining about it just count your blessings Roger instead of picking at the wounds.
You two are becoming the exact thing you warned us about. Please be human.
What are you saying???
Fighting and arguing is unfortunately what humans always do. Its just human nature.
Why do people like you forget that these two are an actual person, just like everybody else?

@@Nekotsu00 Thats true But This Waters /Gilmour (&the late Rick Wright) spat has been more or less in the public eye for nearly 40 years now & at nearly 80 years of age with massive albums & huge financial success still ranting on is a bit sad tbh Its tarnished the whole Pink Floyd legacy At the end of the day Both David Gilmour & Nick Mason own the Pink Floyd brand name (Pink Floyd Music 1987 Ltd)
Both of you need a serious reconstruction of approach when it comes to this issue. You did leave the band. Technically it is David’s channel because you are not on the band anymore. Ethically, I think you should have access. Now I don’t know how you approached David about the issue and I believe that you both have the best intentions. Come together and understand that you are being what you sang and played against. You are becoming the exact thing you warned us about. Listen to the Animals, drink a glass of wine, take a puff of the good sh*t, and talk to each other.
"You are becoming the exact thing you warned us about". Damn!
You are absolutely right.
David Gilmour himself isn't in Pink Floyd anymore as the band is no longer active - Endless River was their last album. Theoretically, David is as much a former member as Roger is. They each have their own website/social media pages, but it is only fair that the Pink Floyd one should be equally accessible to each former band member. Many fans want to hear about David's projects as well as Roger's and Nick's
@@jamessilgram3894 I mean, I'm in argreeance with this. I'm sure there were probably selfish motives on both sides in the beginning, but I think the real point here is literally as said, he was a member and the group is no longer active, nor will probably ever be again anymore than what Mr. Waters does already himself. I've been a fan of Floyd since I was 5, own all the albums and enjoy pretty much the vast majority on any given day of the week. I always found the Gilmour albums weak, though The Division Bell does have its moments. It's what those five, but primarily four, guys did that I've always been the most invested in. At their prime, there was none like them, and still isn't today. It should all be celebrated and the legacy of all surviving members moving forward, not just who we're told to agree with cause of the name. Alot of the work and concepts we grew to love wouldn't have been what it was without Rogers's approach, and he deserves to be able to carry that banter no more than the rest. Politics and egos are an ugly game, and it has no place in art in my book. It's no different then the rift between Gabriel and Genesis. Genesis would have been nobody without the work of the Gabriel years and it should be recognized for the love and enjoyment we've had from it throughout the years. And I've no doubt Floyd has more juice in it for the next hand full of generations. I'd love to see everyone get along again, but sadly, when money's involved, eventually the joy of the art gets lost and that's a damn shame, cause Floyd made a lot of captivating and thought provoking stuff throughout their time together, nevermind the millions they inspired that will never reach even half the dedication and thought they achieved back in the day. Not everyone's cut out for a Dark Side of the Moon or a Meddle, but they achieved it. Boys with their toys as they would say. Floyd loved their toys and it showed. Back when music was really about music. Thank you for the body of work you and the other members left us with. I'll be listening till my last breath and if I had kids, they would be too. But it is time to leave politics where it belongs, with the politicians, not the entertainment industry. Give back creative control and corporate go back to just enjoying the benefits of doing nothing, but everybody wants their hand in the cookie jar. Nobodies playing mother and slapping some hands saying you're spoiling your dinner.

Roger isn't in the band anymore, but he is still a PF Shareholder / Director. As I understand things, he did effectively pass control over to DG / NM around the time of AMLOR in return for exclusive control the The Wall. It such a shame that all these years later (and with the band no longer active) that they can't reach an agreement.
@@studiotwo This may be the number one statement of why I never pursued fame. I like to play music. I like to create anything even if it's not music. And while getting paid for it would be nice, the moment someone, who wasn't involved in its creation (besides someone willing to listen, watch or read), gets involved, it suddenly loses its purpose for being created in the first place. Everything you just said makes literally no sense to me. Why would you ever have to or would sell something you created? Like McCartney selling the Beatles songs to Michael Jackson. You've made more than enough money to never work a day in your life and nobody has the right to own the rights to something you created... ...ever.
The only exception to that rule is if you stole your idea from someone else.
Absolutely loved the new version, love you Roger you’ve never really left, your souls in the music for all to here no matter who where and when it’s played we all feel it.
This is so sad. I respect you immensely, Mr. Waters. I also respect immensely Messrs. Gilmour and Mason, and Wright. I really hope, before the three of you get too doddery, that you can patch things up. You seem to have come close in recent years, it really saddens me that collectively you haven't all buried the hatchet. And if you can't, then fine. But I really hope that the root cause of all of this isn't money. That would be terribly sad, even more sad than it is already.
Respect Syd, please! 🙂
It'll never happen. They're both stubborn, they both went too far. The guys in CCR stopped talking til one died and they had the same mom.
Very sadly I don't see it happening. It would be a real delight if Roger and David could managed to alter their personalities, but at their age I think not. It's likely huge egos rather than money are at the root of it. We just hope it's not the end for that line-up but maybe the song really is over, and there is no more to say. We should be thankful they're both around and still creating great music of their own.
I think Roger should ask Mr Trump for help.

am I allowed to puke about right now ?
No individual band member IS Pink Floyd. Don’t ever think that Pink Floyd’s success was due solely to Roger or solely to David, because it wasn’t. In the end, they all came together to create something greater than the sum of their parts.
Pink Floyd wouldn’t have been the emotional powerhouse that it was without Roger’s lyrics. He is a truly one of the great poets of the 20th century, on par with John Lennon. But this band would never have become renowned as one of the greatest rock bands of all time without nothing David’s skill and mastery of the guitar; he is considered one of the greatest players ever.
But there was more to Pink Floyd than just Roger and David. Rick created ethereal, otherworldly soundscapes on the keys, and he responsible for the signature Pink Floyd “sound” that we all know. And Nick wasn’t a fast paced, clamorous drummer, but just like Ringo, he had “feel” and knew how to back the music, which is essentially to a band that explores human emotion.
And of course, Syd, the piper himself. His time in the band was short, but his presence never truly left the band, and his ghost can be felt all throughout Pink Floyd’s discography. He was person full of raw, creative energy.
There’s really no point in having Roger’s influence on the website anyway. He’s already made his mark on the music world and everyone already knows about his work. No one is questioning his career, even if it isn’t documented on the website.
Very well said.
i wish roger sees this comment. you summed it up perfectly
Which one is pink
Agree. Some of us love Roger, some of us love David, some of us love Syd, some of us love Richard and some of us love Nick but.. WE ALL LOVE PINK FLOYD!
I like Pink Floyd, but I hate Roger Waters, not only the least talented member, but also the most full of himself. He's an old antisemitic pos.

@AJ Isca Because he didn't write most of the music and he couldn't even tune his own bass. David Gilmour even played the bass parts for him on the albums. After he left, they became way more popular than they were when he was a member.
@AJ Isca Most people care about music and the sound of the vocals more than they do about lyrics. The other members of PF are highly gifted musicians. Syd Barrett, Rick Wright, Nick Mason, and David Gilmour are the ones who developed the Pink Floyd sound, Roger Waters was just a guy who was hanging around who could barely play bass. No one considers Roger Waters to be a great bass player, but the others are considered great at their instruments, he was the weakest link. Rick Wright and David Gilmour are the most responsible for propelling them as far as they got. The key to pf was the dreamlike, spacey keyboard and guitar parts. Roger Waters was just a negative energy in the band that caused a lot of tension. He was the Yoko of the band. It's not that the other members have disagreements, no, similar to how his ex wife feels, the other members of PF absolutely hate Roger Waters, he brings hate out of people. Syd Barrett hated him, as does David Gilmour and Rick Wright did too. Only Nick Mason has somewhat mended fences with Roger, and isn't documented as actually hating him currently. Remember, Nick said he thought Roger was joking about making a guest appearance at his show, implying that Roger is typically a self-centered jerk. We know why Roger Waters did that one Nick Mason appearance, all so he could feel like he's not 100 percent alienated from Pink Floyd, but genuinely, he is. They try not to even mention Roger Waters on the official Pink Floyd website, he's not remembered fondly by his bandmates or anyone else, so now he's just an old tosser who is desperate to remain relevant to the far left and the far right antisemites, because no one else cares.
Roger left the band a long time ago. This has been well know and folks can subscribe to his pages. Even if there is a point to be made, this monologue is petty and sad.
Roger FIRED Rick Wright. Fuck Roger Waters. Some small joy he is whining about this. Don’t you have enough money yet mate? Stop embarrassing yourself. Not dignified for a FORMER member of The Pink Floyd.

As Waters' lawyer reputedly said to him in the mid-80s, "Roger, if you resign from IBM, you don't still get to tell IBM how to be IBM!"

But as he pointed out neither is Polly Sampson.
@@HappyAitch Absolutely irrelevant. Pink Floyd can put anything they like on their website. And refuse anything they don't like. The point is Roger Waters is no longer part of Pink Floyd. By his own choice.

Did Gilmour object to Waters putting a large photo of his wife on a PF album sleeve in 1969? No.
Waters will go to the grave pretending that he is still in Pink Floyd. Meanwhile, Gilmour is getting on with his life. He seems happy. I hope he is.
There is much stuff in this post that I’d argue with you about but I can’t be bothered, you’ll never change your opinion and neither will I. So I shall bow out before it turns into a mud slinging match.
I could understand if roger was unhappy about this treatment after just leaving the band, but he didnt just leave, he tried to end the band with his departure because HE thought he owned PF and thought that HE was PF. He accuses David of being the narcissist but in reality it was roger and that's why he's been banned
You are absolutely correct. Dave is the good guy - he is honoring Rick Wright’s legacy. And probably, Rick’s last wishes.

"Wouldn't you like to see...the band together again, my friend?" While it would have been nice if the official PF site had acknowledged Roger's recent post with a, "Here's a lovely version of Mother by our old friend, Roger Waters," sadly this wasn't to be. Pink Floyd will always be a shimmering light in a lot of our lives, but it's been clear who owns the band and the franchise for decades now. We look to Gilmour for any snippets of new PF material, and I think we all know he's largely been done with it post the last full studio album. It's tough for fans: Roger is arguably one of the more talented song writers Britain has produced, and Dave's guitar work strides like a colossus through rock's history, and we love them both. Collectively PF have produced some of the most creative pieces of musical artistry the music industry has ever seen, and perhaps that passion from such imaginative and intelligent people, brings us here, at an impasse over expression.

Honestly the best rock band everrrrrrrr
It happens when two grown up men have never worked a day in their lives.
"David thinks he owns it because I left the band"
Yeah Roger, that's kind of how it works.
From wikipedia "Roger went to the High Court in an effort to dissolve the band and prevent the use of the Pink Floyd name, declaring Pink Floyd "a spent force creatively".[187]
When Waters' lawyers discovered that the partnership had never been formally confirmed, Waters returned to the High Court in an attempt to obtain a veto over further use of the band's name. Gilmour responded with a press release affirming that Pink Floyd would continue to exist.[188] The sides reached an out-of-court agreement, finalised on Gilmour’s houseboat the Astoria on Christmas Eve 1987.[189] In 2013, Waters said he regretted the lawsuit and had failed to appreciate that the Pink Floyd name had commercial value independent of the band members"
Roger, your ego did this to you, not David. You just want in on that Pink Floyd merch money. Isn't royalties enough?
You left, called them a spent force and they carried on. Now you want back in for monetary purposes. Roger, you're a legend of a song writer but a lesson to the future genius lyricists that controlling ones ego is the most important thing in life.
From a legal standpoint, then yes that is correct. George Roger Waters is no longer a part of the band and as such cannot use Pink Floyd as a sharing tool. However, as he said in the video, we are all entitled to our opinions, and I personally do agree with Roger that the Pink Floyd should display the side projects of all the three surviving members. In saying that though, Roger’s own page still has many followers and he’s still the richest Pink Floyd member, I don’t see why it’s THAT much of an issue for him.
Thank you for clarifying that. It's important for all the fans to this information. The albums made after the final cut were amazing. That is really what I think oh by the way which one's Pink. Lol
After the band split up, which was after The Final Cut (aptly named), David Samson put out an album under the artist name of David Gilmour. Since everybody knows David Samson is a no-talent fool, nobody bought his crappy album. So, David Samson, along with horrific drummer Nick Mason, decided to call themselves Pink Floyd to fool the fools. Apparently it worked to a degree. But true fans know that Samson/Mason was just fake Floyd not Pink Floyd.
I don't think it's really so much about merch money as it is the fact the PF website reaches WAY MORE people than Roger's own website does, depriving Roger of the chance to promote his latest solo projects, political pontifications etc. Like you said, Roger lost the court case as far as the PF name is concerned, so that's history. At that time, I'm sure it was easy for the guy (Roger) to want to get rid of the PF name because of the legal problems it was causing, but I'm sure the others (Nick and Dave, Rick later) felt that was easy for the guy (Roger) with the overwhelming majority of the writing credits to say. He didn't need the name to make a living; they did. Had Syd Barrett not been in the mental state he was in, by rights, HE would have been the only one who could say what could or could not be done with the Pink Floyd name since he created it.
@@kermsk3820 "Pink Floyd should display the side projects of all the three surviving members. "
You mean TWO surviving members. Roger CHOSE to leave and not be a member.
It's like me trying to get my ex-wife to put our wedding pictures on her mantle next to her current one.
She's out of the family, she left.
However she still gets alimony. Thats all Roger is entitled to.
Did Syd quit? No
Richard? Died
Nick? Stayed
David? Stayed
Roger? Gave up, tried to end it (in an attempt to have the best solo works over David and be better) so Pink Floyd couldn't compete with his solo Albums.
Roger is great but man, so egotistical. He's a hero of mine because he teaches me how to be great at one thing, and where we can improve on another where he is less than perfect.
Roger, I truly understand what you are saying especially about Polly and her getting a free plug for her novels, I don’t agree with that. I love you man but I can also see Davids point of view. Lets face it he is never going to get over you trying to sue him that is a wound that will be cut very Deep and I can understand why. Another point is which Hill are you dying on ? Because when asked normally you say “they are my songs not pink floyds” but now the tune you sing is “It was a team effort we all were Floyd”. The latter statement is correct Roger, you should say that more. Anyone with any sense knows you were the driving force and creator, but god those songs wouldn’t be the songs they are if not for the amazing musicians you had building on top of your foundations. Pink is an entity and not a single one of you. God Bless and I hope this issue gets sorted because it is a shame, but I can see both points of view so who knows what will happen,
The way i see it, they fell apart because Roger thought he was Pink Floyd and they're not coming together because David thinks he is Pink Floyd.
As with most things in life, it's complicated. Oh, and I love you Roger. Thank you for existing.
@Allen Albright I didn't say he wasn't more Pink Floyd, but I wouldn't put more fault on either one with the issue, although I do also generally have a penchant towards Waters

I really like Roger in so many ways especially musically but he treated the other members like shit before he left and even had Rick fired from the band. Playing together is more than just about being musicians it's about being a team. They ceased being a team with Roger decades ago. Having said that, I must admit it must feel strange to hear David singing the lyrics he wrote all those years ago. But then, equally it must be strange for David listening to others playing guitar parts he invented. Still, move on! You have a fucking great life compared to the average Joe working for a minimal wage or someone unemployed that struggles to find work.
This is like having a bad divorce full of animosity and then others expecting you to get together again because it will please them. They both have their egos and have done wrongs and rights. But there are some things you can't return to. That's life!
PREACH
Very well put.
I believe that they screwed Rick back in the day and wasnt "officially" recognized as a member of the band until years later. The will regret the fighting, but, It wont be until one of them dies.
Dave and Rick sang most of the lyrics anyway.
Agree, I've always preferred David over Roger. Roger always seemed to be full of anger and resentment concerning his father and WW2, and he's such a self-righteous jack-ass that I find it hard to even listen to what this man says.
We love you, Roger. You are beloved.
It doesn't matter wat people say you are a genius. So is Mr Gilmour. Its sad we all can't get along .The music speaks for itself.Always been a big fan and will be till I'm gone from this planet.
I know :)
Roger Waters treated everyone who had anything to do with the band very badly. From Syd Barrett to Richard Wright and even Claire Torrey and when he asked Alan Parsons to return he turned you down flat because of how he was treated after the amazing work he did for Dark Side of the Moon... the lesson here Roger Waters isn't learning is that if you want people to treat you with respect, you have to treat them with a little human decency and fairness. Sad to see even into his 70s he still hasn't learned it. No humility, no accountability. No understanding. No personal responsibility... just more victim mentality and whining about others.
You left the band 35 years ago and tried to make it as hard as possible for them to continue on without you. You kicked Wright out of the band and when you left, Gilmour brought him back... think about that and learn the lesson you brick in a wall.
he also tried to SEW the band for the name Pink Floyd when he left because he wanted to carry on the name with his singles. so if anyone thinks they are Pink Floyd it would be Roger. he literally tried to take the bands name because he thought he had written all their music which is bullshit.
Damn I didn't know this.
Difficult personality. But can you imagine his stress during the wall and kther project? Similar as Steve Jobs... thats it. Babies are borning in pain...
@@rezonance1000 yeh I definitely believe the amount of things he was doing combined with his fame is what got to him and I feel for him through that. however that dose not excuse the way he treated the people who got him everything he had ever wanted in his life. If Roger never knew David Rick and Nick can you even imagine where he would be in life? because I really dont think that he would have had the motivation in life to try that hard musically at the beginning of his career without them. he berated people who grew a career side by side with him, also at the time of the wall David was goin through a divorce and Rick was fighting a drug addiction so can you imagine the stress they felt when someone who was vital in there band turned on them and fired one of them? idk dude its just sad I wish it was diffrent
@Terrence Reardon and Friends Podcast Podcast yes he is definite a genius who deserves A LOT MORE recognition
Woah, can’t believe this subject is alive and well into the 2020s.
Roger thought that when he left the band that they could not live without him. Guess what? Roger, you can start a website of your own and put anything that you want on it, were you aware of that? It sounds like someone is not making as much money as they used to and being overshadowed by others. You made your choices, now live with them.
Perfect!
Although, a huge portion of Floyd's successful stuff was made by Waters, so while I do agree he shouldn't have been banned from the official website, He shouldn't be acting all high and mighty after all, it was he who left the band, there's going to be consequences of that. Instead of making up, these two have constantly been stabbing each other over and over again, and for a bunch of prog rock/psychedelic rock legends, I'd say their behaviour is extremely childish.
@@siddhanthbhattacharyya4206 You say they have been stabbing each other, what has Dave done or said about Roger that was negative? I can only find statements where Dave has told what has happened but not insulted Roger or talked him down; on the other hand Roger goes out of his way to insult Dave and others.
Dear Roger, with all my respect to what you have done in your life I would remind you about these SIMPLE FACTS :
1. It was you, who decided to shut down one of the biggest rock bands of all time in 1985
2. It was you, who sued the remaining members of the band and lost the legal battle
3. It was you, who regarded the contribution of the other band members less important than yours by your acts stated above
4. It is you, who has fiercely denied any ties to "THAT BAND" in numerous interviews
5. It was you, who offendedly reacted when less informed fans assumed you had had some contribution to the release of "THAT BAND'S" latest album The Endless River
6. It is you, who has made several times some really degrading, humiliating comments about David Gilmour's wife, Polly Samson, who by the way is a great writer and lyricist.
To some extent I understand your intention to please some fans, but believe me, real Floyd fans have no problem to follow PF feed simoultaneously with yours.
So, why do you want to be so desperately affiliated with "THAT BAND" suddenly?
Because the nutjob has gone either high or insane
fuck off man, it's been many years that's passed
Totally right lajos!!

I watch Steve Hackett's daily videos where he comments on old Genesis songs (and his own music too).
He has great respect for his old band mates and mentions Tony, Mike, "Pete" and Phil with nothing but warm words.
Let that be a lesson to all of us.
That's bc Hackett is a classy guy. With gratitude and warmth in his heart. He appreciated what and with whom he participated, all those years ago. NOT driven by his ego. He gets reality. He knows the world doesn't revolve around himself. Unlike this bloke.
@@barnabyjones8333 yeah I gave up on Roger YEARS ago. Go and watch the UA-cam video where he bitches all about American Exceptionalism...I'm inclined to agree with him about that but by the time he gets through he's pointing his finger at the USA over WW2 !! So you can imagine what dealing with him over band issues is like...he starts by saying "hey we're a band right ?" and then by the time the discussion is ending he's getting the larger amount of the payday and YOU are the one who's at fault for the band's disagreements !! This guy's just simply a total asshole even when you're agreeing with him !

Mike Badger in April 1967 I worked as a barman in West Kensington London and one evening the members of Pink Floyd came in and I spent the evening serving their drinks in the saloon bar .There were 4 of them and their favourite tipple was vodka and orange .I'd love to ask Roger about that and wonder if he remembered it and confirm I wasn't dreaming! 3 of them sadly have gone and Gilmour had yet to join them .Only Roger could now confirm, if he remembers ,that evening at the Barons Court.
Wait, didn’t he quit the band 30+ years ago and hoped it failed without him?

There's really no hope for a reunion and unfortunately we as a fans can only hope for one
Timothy Immanuel I was lucky when to 3 shows one in 1988 and two on 94 but with out Rick is not the same
@@TMthe33rd These gentlemen are way beyond any prospect of a reunion - and some things should come to an end. This is about Mr. Gilmour seeming to attempt the removal of all traces of an integral part of P.F. through their most potent years. Pink Floyd wouldn't have been nearly as influential, I don't believe, without Roger's brilliant, creative contributions combined with Mr. Gilmour's musicality. I must assume the pain of the legal fight for the band's name lingers, decades later.
Wtfffffffffff you and David need to patch things up and just do a world tour after this is all over!!!!
For real
What Are You On About it’s all fucking bullshit drama and David is acting like a little bitch!!!
You need to do your research. David sounds even more egotistical now than Roger did 40yrs ago. Roger met with David to clear the air and let by gone be by gone and was brutally rejected. David hates Roger. If you look up the video of David, Nick special appearance of The Wall during the end of Outside the wall, David clearly doesn't want to be there.

Togheter they stand. Divided they fall... i' m right? Roger
Pink Floyd has never been a constant. David arrived, Syd left. There were some glory years of absolute music perfection, and you left Roger. When you left, so did the true creative diversity. The guitar, drumming and keyboard genius remained which kept the band going and after MLOR, started to lose the creative genius that it had sounding very similar to Gilmours solo style (with a couple of exceptions). In the meantime you have written simply some of the best albums I have ever heard in my life. Your fans know who you are and the part you have played in the skill and talent of what is left of Pink Floyd. Just leave it mate.... you can’t say your career needs the boost and neither does your ego. Nobody owns Pink Floyd.... it exists only in name now and you are still part of the history.
Perfect! I have nothing to add to your lines. 👏👏👏
Pink floyd is Rogers band (syd) FACT
@aNIM eSoCialGREEN GODGAMINGNEWS if it ‘Belonged’ to anybody then you could say Syd, since he founded it. Too many creative minds to give credit to one person imo
It was called "The Final Cut" for good reason. Gilmour is a pompous prick weazle bat.
@Sync Lloyd he ain’t behaved well. Can’t argue. But legendary on a guitar
Roger, the band could not have been without either one of you. You both brought a special talent and skill to the band. I was deeply saddened when you left the band and even a little angry. But I have realized that you both do have different styles and idiology. And I do love both your work. Truth be told I like your presentation better. As a dedicated fan I cannot turn my back to either of you. I would love nothing more that to see you settle your differences I would even travel to another country to see you together not just for show but with your heart's united. I don't have to agree with the people I love and interact with but I do respect their opinions and convictions. I do know exactly what it is like to keep banging your heart on a mad buggas wall. Stay safe and healthy my friend. Looking forward to seeing you in DC 2021.

Absolutely right, and as there is no longer a Pink Floyd then David Gilmore should be moving on as well. F-it Pink Floyd had it's day and Gilmore shouldn't be wallowing in what was but freeing himself for what is.

Pink Floyd began without David..
same for me
True! Roger was there before David... just saying... regardless, Pink Floyd is the greatest band in history, imo. Sad such beautiful work became so contentious... so glad Roger acknowledged Syd in this video (without which PF would have never existed.)
Pink floyd was already a thing without Gilmour...
Roger and Syd found it.
I mean this very earnestly, Roger -- why do you guys have a conundrum with each other? Both of you are great men -- soulful, intelligent, mature and believe in the power of music. Music can help to accelerate our awakening to life, make us kinder, make us wiser.
You have differences -- but the truth is, the world has gotten so crazy and to see two men who deserve to feel that they are brothers settle for an "amicable" neutrality is a little sad.
I don't know what the personal differences are and it's not my business.
...When I think about musicians and their legacies, I always remember Leonard Cohen, and the tiff he had with his manager, who ended up taking all of his money while he was a Zen Monk in the California mountains. He said, even after she had basically spent all of his money, and he would never see it again, "Well, you know, I still like her!"
So...I don't know. We love both you and David Gilmour and I personally am grateful for what your music has done for humanity.
Thank you.
Some people can't help but make things difficult for themselves. They should let it lie.
I really don't think it's about money at all, it's ego. Obviously, Roger was extremely significant to PF, and PF would never have happened without him, or at least not in the form that we all know and love. But after he left the band, PF continued on without him, just as it continued on without Syd. When Roger was paid in the settlement of the law-suit that he initiated, he gave up the rights to the PF name. Roger actually has more money than Gilmour and the rest because of the financial settlement. None of them need the money, they are all multi-millionaires many many times over. It's not about the money. I understand Roger's feelings that he should be on the website because he was a huge part of Pink, but he gave up that legal right. I understand David's feelings as well. In the past, Roger had made a derogatory statement, or pulled David's Wife Polly into the arguments or rift between the two. I feel that is something that David can't or won't let go. I also believe, although it is never mentioned, that David was extremely hurt personally when Roger left. Imagine if your bandmate, and friend left, and then turned around and sued you and tried to prevent you from playing under your band's name. Of course David was angry. Roger was wrong and has admitted so, which I admire Roger for doing. I don't think that mentioning Polly in this circumstance will help in his goal of being put on the official PF site. It is unfortunate that this impasse still remains, but it will probably remain until one or both of them are dead. I love both Roger and David and like a child in a divorce it is painful to watch the continuing rift between the two, but I fear it will continue. And like that child I try not to choose sides between the two. I appreciate what Roger and David have both given us. They should both just completely let it go, and enjoy the fantastic lives that they have with their money, children, grandchildren, music, and charities. My god, what I could do with a few hundred million dollars, but I digress. But unfortunately, I believe that they both have let it go, as much as they are capable of doing so.

Hello Roger, I love what you do, and I am sorry about this video. Please read this, as I listened to all your video. I am myself a musician, though not famous at all. You are lucky. You have the chance to play music with anyone you want, you have international fame, everyone knows you were one of the main creators in Pink Floyd until 1985. You said it yourself though, you quit the band in 1985 (and it didn't go smoothly). So no, you are not part of "The Pink Floyd" anymore, but that should be ok, why do you care ? You are well recognized for your great artistic contribution world-widely anyway (including for Pink Floyd), I really believe you would gain at letting it go. I would find more appropriate if you were to say "I regret that I left Pink Floyd"if that's the case, rather than pretending you should legitimately still be a part of it. That would be the higher road, the loving road. Maybe that's hard to hear from a non-famous person like me, but during your shows you give really great speeches about loving one another, so hear it from yourself and apply it. All this is history, leave it there, be Great ! I understand though that you may be sad, and I feel you. Love, Rémi
@remi, thanks for putting my thoughts into words so accurately.
I agree. Very well articulated.
Good post, although keep in mind that these aren't stupid people, they know there are lots of hits from making videos like this, a lot more than whatever latest political message would be forthcoming. People like drama, its a good way to get free advertising.
when I hear them talking about each other I have the same feeling as when I saw my mother and father arguing.
Where do you see both arguing.....David has never said anything. It's Roger complaining.
you're right they have an excellent relationship.
Seems to me that ol' Roger hasn't really learnt a damn thing in over 30yrs since he left the band and can't see the elephant in the room is actually himself. His ego and his arrogance really haven't softened at all. Perhaps he should muse on the fact that PF lasted 20yrs with him yet over 30 further years without him....When you have 2 strong willed personalities within the band its inevitable there will be a fall out. But when one looks more closely at all the stuff that happened in the band and out of it, its not difficult to see the one having a hard time coming to terms with things and accepting responsibility of why the band broke up is Roger. I've never seen any videos put out by any of the other band members slagging off the others in the way that Roger does and its really sad that even after their momentary reunion in the park that wonderful day, Roger still doesn't get it. We all hoped he would, but he just doesn't.
Pink Floyd died in 1979, Star Wars in 1977
You guys are ridiculous. Roger has made many efforts to reconcile in recent years and he's even had Gilmour on stage for one of his performances of Comfortably Numb during the Wall tour. David is clearly still showing contempt for him by excluding him from Pink Floyd's website, the band that HE piloted into stardom.
ROGER NEEDS TO TURN AWAY FROM THE OLD DRAGON AND FIND THE LIGHT !
@@AllDayWillis waters made his bed. now he complains because he doesn't like it. we all have to deal with the consequences of our actions.

Hey Rog, are the oysters alright?

I love Roger, he is a living legend, but he has some wrong ideas about life in general. He was the one who sued his old bandmates back in the 80's, the whole trial thing was because of him. If the Pink Floyd official page doesn't promote Roger's work, it's because legally, he hasnt been part of the band for 35 years already, not because Dave Gilmour is an asshole or something.
I don't even understand why this is still relevant. Roger has made a name on it's own. I went to see him live in 2018 and the show was amazing. He performs mostly Pink Floyd songs, so I guess he has to pay a lot of royalties but still, he makes thousands of dollars with his tours.
he doesn't have to pay royalties because he never gave up his rights to the music he wrote. Gilmour can't put out a greatest hits album with older Floyd on it without Roger's ok to this day.
Roger-The mind of Pink Floyd
David-The heart of Pink Floyd
Richard-The soul of Pink Floyd
Nick-The strength of Pink Floyd
Stop posting garbage
Forgotten Sid I see.
And Syd - the founder of Pink Floyd
oh God time to puke again
And Syd is Pink Floyd.
Come on David and Roger time to heal the wounds and make up once and for all.
I don't know if "getting the band back together" is ever gonna be a thing, but you all should hopefully one day share in the parts each of you contributed to making Pink Floyd great, and sharing that between each of you. I think sharing a website, sharing each persons accomplishments, would be a great way for fans to find every piece of magic that was. is and will always be embodiment of Pink Floyd, and what has grown from it. Sadly the human condition is always what gets in the way of humanity being it's best. I thank every member of the band for making music that made some of these days of mine better for hearing you.
You quit the band and lost in court Roger. Dave does control Pink Floyd. I love your music but absolutely cannot stand the sight of ya.
I am glad to know - your opinion really matters. Not! Do you feel important when writing ignorant things like that? And btw do you think he cares if you like him or not? The answer is NO, actually no one does.
@@MrRolle27 you cared enough to respond about my opinion and at this time 65 other's cared enough to like it so go back downstairs into your momma's basement and eat a bowl spaghettios and stfu
I'm with Richard on this.
Wow, probably best to have said nothing
