Ouch... 1984 and she calls David 'Barrett replacement David Gilmour'.... that's cold man...
Roger became the guy who wrote 90% of the material. Of course, anyone in that position will feel more important than the others who aren't coming up with enough ideas.
Roger is really full of himself here; he clearly sees Dave, Rick and Nick as nothing more than backup musicians. Too bad.
rick wright is so under rated
I think Waters and Gilmour needed each other, though they might be reluctant to admit it - Waters needed Gilmour's musicianship, Gilmour needed Waters' songs. And y'know what, they produced some great work together (along with Wright and Mason of course) while it lasted; by the end their worldviews were too different and they could no longer work together, but that's just life.
It´s interesting how members of Pink Floyd felt as though Waters was slowly taking control over the band after Darkside, while Waters felt like the others were letting him do all the work. Like in many cases, this whole situation seems to have stemmed from simple communication errors, and might have been entirely avoidable, had they just openly talked about their feelings; something both Waters and Gilmour would write about at some point in their career, but failed to enforce at the time.
Gilmour and Waters both have transcending genius. Here there's no room for the McCartney vs. Lennon type of dichotomy. They're both fantastic and influential artists with unique styles. I'm grateful for having the chance to enjoy their material together and separate. There is no way to describe the legacy of Pink Floyd. We're to close to the facts to appreciate it and their solo materials are both culturally, politically and aesthetically relevant today.
No Rick Wright,no Pink Floyd. Thanks for the memories.
This is one of the rarest interviews ever! It captures the split of the band. You could see how; Waters had come up with the ideas since Dark Side and was trying to make sure everything will go smoothly. You can't say Waters was the bad guy because he was driving everyone, and not all members were giving the full cooperation as equals in the band. But Waters has now admitted that he was wrong to attack Gilmour for continuing with the Floyd when he himself wanted to stop. Still, Waters-driven Floyd produced that best work among all band work and solo works, so we should be lucky the split came at a relatively late time.
I think the final cut totally sounds like a Floyd album. David's guitar playing is unmistakable. His four solo albums all sound like solo albums but I think the final cut totally sounds like a floyd album. Then again it's all floyd to me
They wrote their fate even way before it happened - "And when the band you're in starts playing different tune, I'll see you on the Dark Side of The Moon".
No matter what happened to the band,one thing i´m sure of and its that,in my opinion,these guys were perfect musicians,very intelligent and creative.I only wish that Syd was still around too... I love pink floyd and all of their work!! Thanks for posting this interview
This split was necessary. I like how this interview is so truthful. The Floyd were falling apart. I find though that Roger in this and other interviews was the most honest. Here David admits he was lazy and not part of the projects. And that is something Roger admitted was going on since DSOTM, hence the Floyd was becoming a Waters band, because he was the driven member. Many record execs and engineers are in agreement that this was happening. Rock and Roll s seems to head that way sometimes, think CCR, Roxy Music, etc. The Pink Floyd Wars were brutal and David was most nasty in his comments in Musician magazine about Waters' musical contributions and capability. Today some of those nasty b.s. comments live on with Gilmour fans. Remember David saying Roger was a passenger on the PF vehicle? Yikes. That was nasty. Time has shown the comments are not truthful and just spiteful. It is sad, because, once again these two men are on friendly terms and that is the best way to end the saga. I wish Roger Waters fans would embrace David Gilmour's solo music and David Gilmour fans would embrace Roger Waters solo music. The fans still have more healing to do if they can't do this.
Excellent interview, lots to unpick:
I love them all so much. Roger and David are so great together. But, egos get in the way often in the music industry. We live and learn. I yearn to see them both at peace with each other and again friends.
Man. This is a gem. These guys made history.
I love David Gilmour.
Ha, "Nicky" Mason.
I love Roger more then any of the others, hes a master artist with a vision.
David Gilmour bends wires as well as Roger Waters writes lyrics !
