Pink Floyd Reunion

[Fengzi]

I saw this one the news this morning. Most thought it was impossible but apparently all the members of Pink Floyd, including Roger Waters, will be getting together again to play the Live 8 concert in London. Let's hope this is the start of something more than just one performance.

Anyone else heard anything about this?

[Phresher than it Got]

i heard vague rumors too, nothing more than what you said tho

[looseends]

i don't think so. sounds like a one time deal to me.

[Dick Justice]

*joygasm* nonetheless.

o jesus i would pay so much 2 see floyd exspecially with roger waters

[Fengzi]

Yeah, I would love to see them together. I've seen Waters twice and Floyd once but, even though all the shows were great, something just seemed to be missing. Seeing them together is a dream I've had for more than 20 years.

Creams also reuniting to play.

There was a big article in the newspaper about Pink Floyd and one of the members said that no one in the band was thinking about or wanted to get back together. I'm from the US, though, so of course we aren't privy to awesome news like Live 8 in London.

[XTC]

I doubt it. But I can still be hopeful

[mellow mood]

yea i heard it. must be true. id love to live in UK just to see this show...

[Drugman Joe]

ALL the members? I seriously doubt Syd will be there.

THat would be awesome if they did, though.

[kablam]

Definetly, I would love to see them play again w/ Syd Barret, will never happen though. Waters reuniting with the other members would kick some serious ass as well though!

[Drugman Joe]

I'm not completely sure, but Syd is probably dead anyway, his insanity wouldn't make a difference. :p

[F L E S H]

This is definitely great news :D

They're my favorite band, it's like a vision from god....

[Dick Justice]

It's not fair, too. Lucky brits got Floyd AND Cream to look forward to.


Well, I can always take comfort in Crosby Stills Nash, the Allmans and the Dead. Summer's gonna be okay. But somebody in the UK better see this shit and report back here!

[looseends]

i wouldn't mind singing back-up for them.

syd baretts not dead none of them are

[Drugman Joe]

syd baretts not dead
And you know this how? He completely disappeared after 1970, he went skitzo and did acid waaaaaaay too excessively, which made it worse. If he were still living he most definately would not be in any state of mind to do anything, he was insane to start with, 30 years probably didn't do him any good.

and God they are playing in london at the live 8 thing line up including Syd...he is a genius you just have to listen to piper at the gates of dawn

[Kid Dynamite]

Syds not playing with them. Syd lives in cambridge, hes looked after by his brother. The band arent really in contact with him anymore. I dont know much about his mental condition but from what ive heard hes not particularly stable.

by the way its confirmed that theyre playing at live 8.

No, he was skitzo as well, Or underlying schitzophrenia, anyway.


but from what ive heard hes not particularly stable.
Thank you, captain obvious. :p As I said, he wasn't exactly stable back in the day, so I seriously doubt that the years gave him any favor.

[villacat]

:o :o

I've seen them sans Waters 3 times in my life (a long time ago) it would be awesome to see them with Waters.

As for Syd, he ain't comin back my friends

[chris420]

u darn brits are lucky as hell, if it wouldve been in the states as well i wouldve gone regardless the state, now england seems pretty distant. :(
this would probably be the last time they reunite...

[duppy man]

No shit drugman well you learn something new every day....so no Sid what a shame without sounding like a boring old fart i've seen them back in the early 70s when it was new and kicking
