I want to meet Nick Mason more than any of them. I have a feeling he'd be much nicer to his fans, all things considered, he'd probably be cooler about giving autographs and taking pictures and stuff.

/random

I wish I could see any of the touring members, but no one is coming near here :-/

[QUOTE=MidnightRider]Eh, I don't think they'll ever tour together again. It would be sweet though[/QUOTE]

nah, they've had their time. need to call it quits sooner or later :ahem: rolling stones :ahem:

They sure did.. But once concert in the US wouldn't hurt. There are so many young Floyd fans (Me) that never had the chance the see all 4 together in their lifetime.. Doing a show would be just great, and they could donate all the money... I know if they did my Dad would pay just about any amount of money to see them, which is cool.

They already came out after Live8 and said there is no reunion planned, so, we're f*cked.

Hey we can dream i guess. I would literaly give a kidney to see 1 floyd show.

Why would Rick Wright, someone who wasn't even an official bandmember in the Wall tour because Waters kicked him out, tour with Waters again but not Gilmour?

He is touring with Gilmour, but the papers said he will play with Mason and Waters, which is cool :)

id still go see them even without waters, pulse was amazing.

[QUOTE=leppermessiah]Things don't always go according to plan...[/QUOTE]
Hope they don´t

It's better that they don't tour, we want Floyd to be special, not some old corporate whores like Black Sabbath or the Stones.

No I want them to tour :P!!!

Hmm, well if they did do it it wouldn't be for money. They should do a final reunion tour. It'd be good for fans and good for them too. I think they are just starting to get too old and uninterested in the whole Pink Floyd thing now.

Hi all.

Can someone please explain two songs for me:
Welcome to the Machine and Have a Cigar.

I know it's about the music industry, but I need to know, lyric by lyric. please.
In detail.

You can find the lyrics there. Please, it's quite important.

Somebody didn't do their homework.

Yeah in the first post Riva posted links to a bunch of songs that certain users have written explainations for. I actually wrote the one for Have A Cigar, here's the link: [url]http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showpost.php?p=8073279&postcount=4950[/url]

Nobody has done Welcome to the Machine yet. Basically, it's about how the music industry can ruin someone. I'm too lazy to explain it more but maybe someone else wants to elaborate.

hey thanks, that was good. But I really actually need Welcome to The Machine...oh well.

Hey Prince, I'll try to help you out. I'll edit it into this post, we need to do an analysis by that song anyway, and it's one of my favorite songs ever.

[quote=Prince of Darkness]hey thanks, that was good. But I really actually need Welcome to The Machine...oh well.[/quote]

I always thought that song and even that album was one of the most easy to understand/interpret of all the floyd albums. what is it you need to analyze? the machine is pretty self-explanatory isn't it? the versus are as well. Maybe Im missing something.

If I could meet one of them, it would be Dave. I would kill to have like an hour long jam session with him. Roger would be cool to meet too, but from all the interviews I've seen with him, he's sort of an arrogant prick.

I'd take Gilmour over Waters any day of the week

Both were vital to floyd, but as brilliant as waters was, i simply don't have the respect for him the way i do for gilmour

Barrett :)

[QUOTE=rbv]Why would Rick Wright, someone who wasn't even an official bandmember in the Wall tour because Waters kicked him out, tour with Waters again but not Gilmour?[/QUOTE]

Because Waters was justified in kicking him out.

waters was working 12h a day in the studio in order to get an album finished in order to get a bonus form the label and get some much needed money, but Rick had a holiday booked. Both were fairly relieved to part ways, i think.

I'm listening to Animals for the first time now. I'm on Dogs.

Yea I think Waters made the right decision

Haha, sort of...

Yeah, he is. I read an article in Rolling Stone I believe, inteviewing him. He's an artsy, snobby prick almost on the level of post-Beatles Lennon. He used to be so cool, that's the weird thing. He really was just one of the band on Live At Pompeii, but I really think during and after DSotM he got progressively worse. He just has a big inferiority complex I think, and Gilmour's immense talent and amiable personality making him so likeable by fans, it really got to Waters. And I think that Wright shouldn't have gone on vacation during a "crunch" recording session, but that doesn't excuse Water's general asinine behavior. A lot of people on the inside say that Nick was next in line to be cut because Waters would rather pay a session musician some small royalties than let his long-time friend and fellow band member get a cut of [i]his[/i] album. Of course, Nick doesn't hold a grudge. He's too cool for that :) But yeah, Gilmour is second in my "want-to-meet" list. Then Wright. Then Waters. If only to spit in his face.

[quote=Led-ZeppelinIV]Barrett :)[/quote]

It would last less than a minute. . I would much rather talk to someone I could communicate wuth. Gilmour, Wright or Mason.
