Also I get a lot of slack when I mention that Roger Walters aged better than Gilmour (which was quite the opposite when they were a tad younger, but who cares anyway they both still look damn hot except Roger aged better) Big smile
 
Unfortunately his voice did not Stern Smile. Gilmour sings way better on recent releases.

I  would never agree that waters aged better. The man looks a wreck. No Gilmour has mellowed far better.

All three of them look good for people in their 60s (Mason & Waters are fast approaching 70)
What?

That is true. But  Waters hasn't looked great for many years. Not that I care. It's just looks. BNot something I would comment on normally

I actually thought Roger looks a little these days like an aging Richard Gere (or did a couple of years back)lol!

At least the lucky bugger still has his hair, something I'm slowly losing a battle with!

Definately Gilmour's voice has held up better than Roger's, even on `Amused To Death', as much as I love the album, his voice was pretty croaky in a few spots! It still had a ton of character, though.

I just bought the new issue of MOJO, with PF on the cover.  Some nice pics, and tales of 1968-71.

Not that I think in a million years it will happen!


What I would love to see released is Wright's last album, which I read he was working in before he passed away. Now, I have absolutley no idea in which state it was left, but if only he had recorded his keyboards, perhaps some vocals by himself, and little else... it could have been picked up by Gilmour and finished as the last Pink Floyd album. Imagine if even Waters would be involved in it. Of course, it is just a dream.

Dellinger, I had no idea Rick was working on an album at that time! It would be wonderful for the other three to work on it together....and Rick's last solo album (was it called `Broken China', I really don't recall, and I'm not at home to check my shelf) was pretty good, a bit bland in parts, but overall very respectable!

Besides, I don't see Roger ever getting around to putting out another solo album. I'm sure there'll be another one from Dave at some point.

Yes, Broken China was Wright's last album, and I did find it very enjoyable. As a matter of fact, I remember reading about Gilmour stating that he found it to be a shame that Wright hadn't written the song "Breakthrough" when The Division Bell was recorded, for he would have wanted to use it in it. However, Gilmour did perform Breakthrough on his own semi-acoustic live DVD "David Gilmour on Concert", with Wright as a special guest on vocals... I must say I liked Gilmour's version much more... it's just the way the song would have sounded if it had been recorded by Pink Floyd, with Gilmour's guitar, and the sax, etc.

On the other hand, Roger is suposed to be close to releasing a solo album already (of course, he's been close to releasing a new album since early 2000's). I don't know anything about Gilmour wanting to record again, and I don't think he would like to trouble himself with doing so.

Yeah, Roger's been saying that for a while, hasn't he lol? Last I recall, he said something like he had several good pieces written, but just couldn't figure out a concept to hold them together with?

I think they'd be more chance of a new Gilmour solo album than a full blown Pink Floyd album. Pretty sure he said he likes doing his thing without the whole bloated brand name/Pink Floyd thing dragging him down. His last solo album was very nice indeed!

Rick Wright was indeed working on an album that was to be completely instrumental but after the On an Island tour him and David started to work together to see what they could come up with.
Don't know if you've seen this interview


Sadly, it wasn't to be, but now it's rumoured that Gilmour is actually recording. Weather he'll release anything are still to be seen though.LOL

A new Pink Floyd or Gilmour's album with tracks written by Rick and a new Camel album with a tour....what a dream !
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

This sounds a tiny bit more promising than what I had read back then.
