[Arnold Layne]

Thats cuz until they change the leasership, nothing is gonna happen.

Fuck yea. Pink Floyd reforming and family guy in the same day................ best day of my life.

 

[Forest of Åsatrú]

Everyone is coming back?

 

[Kenneth R.]

its got Roger Waters. hopefully they'll realize how much ass they kick at this show and reunite for good.

 

[Kenneth R.]

i'd like to add:

THIS SHOW MUST BE BOOTLEGGED.

 

[Arnold Layne]

Yeah, I can garantee it will be.

 

[deliverance]

wow, that's awesome

 

[Justin S.]

Gay.

 

[PeeWee1473]

Just one show overseas? God dammit. Something I keep hoping for and it's meaningless for me anyway.

 

[Botfly]

Roger Water's . The guitar player should be the only one who writes the music...

 

[deliverance]

roger waters wrote A LOT..a LOT of their music, that you probably appreciate man. he seems like a douche, but if he can write a good song, then i can't disrespect his work in pink floyd.

 

[Sanzen]

Gay.

holy fuck, Justin S. is disagreeing with someone on the Opeth forum. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE, AND DEFINITELY NOT IN EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOUR POSTS.

 

[Arnold Layne]

Calling Pink Floyd gay is beyond retarded.

 

[The Dude]

Bass Player joins Pink Floyd?
I'm confused.

 

[Risquit]

Yay! ***scrambles to delete other reunion thread***

Damn, couldn't delete it.

As for the concert, sure as hell going to make people watch now. There had better be a DVD (and soon, seeing as how the Live Aid DVD just came out in 2004, a full 19 years after the show).

Roger Waters IS Pink Floyd!!! That name shouldn't have been used since he left the band!

 

[Sinistas]

Divison Bell is worthy of the name, IMO - and far better than The Final Cut *honks*

Yes the devision bell is much better than the final cut, Roger had gone a little crazy by then.

The Roger is floyd debate is ghey, there are people who still think Syd was floyd. He started the band, came up with the name, wrote the songs that got them recognition and a record deal. So when he left you could argue the floyd name should not have been used after 1968.

In fairness i'm pretty sure that all the members contibuted to the music on dsotm and roger water's wrote the lyrics. Gilmour just sang them!

What are you talking about. Waters was the main Pink Floyd vocalist.

The Division Bell has some nice songs in it. I don't argue about that. But they had to enlist a team of songwriters to make it!

And about Syd Barrett. It's true thathe was a very important figure in the early years. However the albums that gave PF the status they have (dsotm, wywh, animals, the wall) were for a large part Rogers efforts.
