I hope Waters and Gilmour with Mason and Wright will find a common ground after Syd's death, and write a new chapter in that great book called Pink Floyd.
That'd be a reunion I would never oppose...

Agreed.
I don't even care if they charged an arm and a leg for the tickets to make it happen. I would not miss Floyd. Have you heard the new David Gilmour album? It's really good. I would still rather have a new Floyd album though.

I wouldn't get your hopes up at all for a new Floyd album... it just won't happen... Gilmour doesn't want anything to do with it anymore
if they reunite it would probably be another one-off for something really important... like a huge official Syd tribute/benefit/celebration concert... but as far as touring, once again, it just isn't going to happen, Gilmour has been really open as to why and such over the years
as much as I'd like to see the Floyd, I much rather might just like to see just David Gilmour on tour, because that's where he's happiest and most comfortable in his life right now, and I loved "On An Island"

Well, they reunited just a few months ago, so there is always hope. They have made amends with each other as far as the personal stuff goes. Now if they could get on the same page musically then there would be a possibilty.

yeah, you're talking about the Live 8 thing last year right? can't remember if that was 2004 or 2005... but anyway, Gilmour was more recently offered after that performance to perform Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety for a concert/DVD if I remember right, but he turned it down, and instead it has formed into a Roger Waters tour going on right now without any of the other Floyds (Mason is supposedly guesting on the July 14th for half the night though)... looks like the closest that tour is coming to me is 4 hours away in ChicagoMyHatred said:
dunno what'll happen though, but I don't have my hopes up for much of anything

yet another sad loss to the music world.
RIP Sid
Live 8 was on 2nd July 2005 5 days before the London Bombings. After the gig Floyd were offered one of the largest payouts for a tour ever, and turned it down. I think they were offering them thousands to tour on whatever tearms they wanted.

I hope he rests in peace even though I'm not a fan. I'm a big fan of the Gilmour era Floyd, but I never really liked the Syd Barrett stuff.

35 and counting...
Syd was one of the most noticeable acid casualties in rock - if you see some of the old footage from right around the time that Syd left/was removed from the band, all he's doing is standing on stage, not even making an attempt to play guitar or sing. Still, he created some of the Floyd's greatest early-career material - check out "See Emily Play," "Apples And Oranges" or "The Gnome" as proof.
MyHatred - if you're interested, I've got audio of Gilmour playing at MSG 4/5/06. If you want it, PM me.
