Gilmour Nixes Pink Floyd Reunion

David Gilmour is sorry to disappoint but there will be no Pink Floyd reunion. He's having too much fun on his own.

The British rock icon raised fans' hopes when the band performed at the Live 8 charity concert in London in 2005. It was the first time in almost a quarter of a century that Gilmour and estranged bandmate Roger Waters had appeared onstage together and the atmosphere was electric.

But once was enough, Gilmour says.

The gig itself was "excellent, really enjoyable," said the 62-year-old guitarist and singer.

"The rehearsals were less enjoyable. The rehearsals convinced me it wasn't something I wanted to be doing a lot of," Gilmour said, speaking from the Astoria, his houseboat-cum-recording studio on the River Thames.

He has a famously testy relationship with bassist and singer Waters, who walked away from Pink Floyd in 1985.

"There have been all sorts of farewell moments in people's lives and careers which they have then rescinded, but I think I can fairly categorically say that there won't be a tour or an album again that I take part in," said Gilmour.

"It isn't to do with animosity or anything like that. It's just that I've done that. I've been there, I've done it."

Gilmour's latest project is a solo album and tour, captured on "David Gilmour Live In Gdansk," a double concert album and DVD to be released September 23 on Columbia Records.

Recorded during the final date of Gilmour's 2006 "On An Island" tour, it's as meaty a package as you'd expect from a prog-rock colossus.

wow. i never get tired of these.

[Jet_Black88]

This kind of reminds me of the Led Zeppelin situation.

[Neer]

There was almost a Pink Floyd reunion?

Well in any case that sucks.

[Dookie92]

Aw too bad, I had my hopes up this time.

[Feel bad inc.]

Any actual floyd fan has known this for ages.
I always got annoyed with the articles with saying there might be a pink floyd reunion because nick mason said he wouldnt mind it. Hopefully they stop now.

[KeithHernandez7]

This sucks. I thought i would be able to see them in my lifetime.

[KThxBai.]

i think in both these cases zep and floyd its because the singers can cut it with the old stuff they played.

[peachygnr]

the world needs a good band....

couldnt be more wrong, gilmours voice has NEVER sounded better, he still performs Fat Old Sun!!!

Gilmour is out of line on this one, his solo album was decent but it was no floyd album. Dark Side was a dark album for a dark time, it is dark yet again so we need the guiding light of the floyd

[Anjohl]

I am happy enough to have tht one show. That being said, the boys are getting old, I think it would be really nice if they can at least patch up their differences in PRIVATE at least. I mean, a reunion tour would represent a reconciliation in name, to the public, but it doens't mean anything if they still hate each other.

I am content to have the video of the reunion, it's enough for me.

i would be content with a new album and no tour

[darranmoore]

For me Gilmour "is/was" Pink Floyd as I always appreciated the music more than Rogers lyrics (great as they are!) I will be satisfied seeing Gilmour live as a substitute.

His remeber that night tour of ON An Island was awesome and for the contributor above who suggests that he can't sing anymore, I recommend he buy: ON An ISland CD; REmeber That NIght DVD and the 22nd Sept release of Live IN Gdansk (previews available on DG official website)

DG is an awesome talent and has been for the last 40 years. I am too young to remeber their early years but I delight in catching up now...

[darranmoore]

His housebout (The Astoria) is moored on the Thames just outside London, he bought it in early 80's and recorded Floyds last 2 albums and his solo album.

[darranmoore]

Sorry Tands didn't see you had already put our uneducated friend straight on the vocal talents of Mr Gilmour!!!

[MonsterOfRock]

Better to Leave Floyd to just as it was and try not to recreate the past, coz it doesnt work with muzic. Same with Zep.

I dunno, I'm pretty sensetive about my Floyd :P

tands wrote:

I don't think "out of line" is the right way to describe this.

I personally like On An Island and think that the tour for that album was much better then Waters' Dark Side tour. As long as Gilmour continues to make music and play quality live shows like he did on the On An Island tour, I'll be perfectly happy.

Exactly. Let them leave behind a great legacy, instead of something that fans might not agree with!

Yep! Those live lightshows are worth the murder!

[Zaphod_Beeblebr]

Serious, what the hell? How is this news? Anyone who might care about this already saw this last time he said anything about it because it seems to be all people ever ask the poor guy about. Why can't people actually ask about his solo work? Which I think is awesome btw.

[ntchode]

On an Island wasn't meant to be the incredible lyrical experience that a floyd album was. The music was incredible albeit a little slow at times, but the guitar solos and tone alone make it worth buying and listening to multiple times.

It really showcases Gilmours control over a guitar. he doesn't just frantically bat away at notes for a blazing solo, he is systematic and very planned. Every note is intentional and his phrasing is magic.

[Bu||eT]

Im a very sad person at the moment. I would kill for a live show of The Floyd.

[pinkfloydfish]

Did anyone really expect him to say anything different? Pink Floyd is definitely my favorite band, and I would love to see them perform live, but I respect Gilmour's decision. Pink Floyd is a legend, and touring and recording again just like they did in the old days could tarnish their status as legends. I'm content with watching DVDs of them and going to cover band concerts. Although it would be nice to get to see them, either performing or not. And if Roger and David would patch things up, that would make me happy, cause they're just not the same without each other.

[justinrobbins7]

I would much rather see Gilmour and Waters working apart, putting their entire focus into projects they actually WANT to do, rather than force themselves to work together to honour the Floyd namesake.

I say this as a huge Pink Floyd fan, but fans that are pissed off about the lack of reunion-type work need to understand: these people are humans and artists, not PinkFloydBots. If theyre satisfied(and have been for decades) with what theyve created together, let them call it a day. Just because they stop making new stuff, doesnt mean the old stuff will go away. In fact, many bands may have benefited from following this example. Just my two cents.

[Tele Echoes]

I love every member of Pink Floyd, and I look forward to getting to see any member perform. I didn't think a renunion was all that likely, though I thank David Gilmour for getting to the heart of the matter, instead of letting speculation gain more ground than it had. The only thing that kind of sucks for Roger is that his voice is nearly gone (at least from the recent performances I've heard; his voice wasn't great at Live 8 either, let alone Live Earth.


As a Floyd fan though, my biggest regrets will probably be never getting a chance to see them play the awesome stuff that they could only do as a group, such as "careful with that axe, Eugene", "Young Lust", and the entire Animals album (although I guess Roger does still play "Sheep", but it doesn't have the same feel that sound or energy those Anilams era performances offered (probably had something to do with tension lending itself to raise the standard of their performances, which was kind of like Lennon/McCartney, or McCartney/Harrison.

I'm done rambling.
Glad to read an article about people I actually care about for once, although I think I may have read this on another site a few days ago.

[HotDogs1]

damn could you imagine how awesome it would be to see pink floyd live?

[mpeskett]

As great as Pink Floyd is, I think this is something Gilmour gets asked so often and he's probably as sick of being asked it as I am seeing stories about it. Isn't going to happen. End of.

[This1GoesTo11]

Guess Dave doesn't care about the finicial future of Nick Mason, poor bugger.

[Bluestube]

How is this news Gilmour has been saying this exact thing for 3 years now!!

[Restlesscow]

Ive seen Waters live (Hopefully see the other 3 soon) and that was amazing, but to see them all on the same stage, nothing would compare in my opinion.
I guess it was a long shot right from the start...
Forget a tour, just 1 more gig Gilmour, plzzzzz!

[StereoFlare]

If anyone watched them at Live 8 they'd realize that maybe this wasn't such a bad thing. Echoes was absolutely fantastic but their version of Money at Live 8? Appallingly slow. I hope they get together again before I die though because I would like to see them live.

[Maydin88]

there are more articles on here about Zeppelin and Floyd silencing reunion rumours. That's like writing an article about a guitar you didn't buy.

[Darmanos]

I have seen their performance in live8, and they did very well i have to say, they still are at their highest level musically...they could have made something really good if they got together again...

but it's ok for me, Pink Floyd is still one of the biggest bands of all times for me and i'll keep listening to their old stuff for decades...Zeppelin too..

[guitarplayer-k6]

god dammit I would give anything to see Floyd!

[This1GoesTo11]

There are two kinds of Floyd fans: those who prefer "Dark Side," and those who prefer "The Wall". I'd have to say I prefer "The Wall". How about you?

"Cum" (pronounced with a long U sound) is a Latin word meaning "with."

Sucks that PF isn't reuniting, though, especially with all of the band members post-Piper At The Gates of Dawn still alive and kicking.

[mattgreene619]

david gilmour is an awesome guitarist and all but he really needs to pull that ****in rod out of his ass and just realize that pink floyd made him who he is today and the fact that he wont get back with them is truly a shame

I think you need to get off your high horse. he doesn't want to do it, he doesn't owe you a reunion tour, he doesn't owe you a new album, he owes you nothing. he was popular and successful because of the thing he had already done. that doesn't mean he has to keep on doing them to keep you satisfied

You do realise that with the amount of money he has the fact that we're getting solo albums is a blessing right?

[highwayone73]

I hope the issue is just settled now. Btw this is really nothing like the Zeppelin thing. Zep doesn't want to do it because Bonham is dead and the band isn't the same.

[pyropunkrocker]

Fuck...i love floyd

[MegaRon]

That sucks. But I'm sure we'll see Nick Mason saying otherwise in a few weeks. I, too, wish that he and Roger would just get over their differences already. Cripes.

[Scazzaman3000]

Tell me something I didnt already know... Gilmours been nixing floyd reunions for years.

[NutZz?]

this is really odd, I randomly thought to myself that I haven't listened to pink floyd in a while, so I put dark side on...and then I come across this article. not cool.

[brendanb36]

ya know i love floyd and give david tons of ****ing respect... but ya know it sorta seems hypocritical to me. ive been there and done that... but yet at his solo concerts he plays pink floyd... he brings in nick and rick for his shows occasionally. so it seems like he still is holding a grudge or something on waters.

[szekelymihai]

dave took the right choice.you cant do something you really dont like.and i think Roger is one of them

[Gordon guitar]

Bring on the Floyd!!!!!

[Soozy]

David Gilmour is the man, I have so much respect for him. Roger Waters is a prick and I completely support Gilmour on this one. It kinda sucks, but oh well, you shouldn't expect iconic bands to have to do a reunion tour.

[Restlesscow]

Waters is not a prick. None of them are. End of.

[GoldSoundzUKNZ]

come back pink floyd! we need you!

I'm sure the 4 of them visit UG everynight before tea, and once they see your comment, they'll no doubt start recording a new album that very second.

[roythereaper]

Why does this still make the news? He's basically said the same thing every time since the 2005 show. Get over it, he's good enough to play solo and isn't interested in a reunion. I'd rather he stuck to his guns than did 5 reunion tours, a la The Eagles.

[tomsawyer67]

dude roger waters is great but hes got a stupid political adjenda that hed like to share at all his solo concerts. last time i checked the band doesnt get along because of this and waters' ego. i paid to see waters say that america sucks to my face, what a jerk off

[IMABBALLPLAYER]

If you really wanna see Pink Floyd play... just go see David Gilmour. It's not really Pink Floyd, but he's got a group of top notch musicians with him, and they'll play a few classic Pink Floyd tunes. At least that's what he did on PBS.

Both Rogers and Gilmour still sing like champions. You couldn't be any more wrong.

[Case_]

I dunno, On an Island sounded a lot like it could have easily fit into some pre-Divison Bell Floyd stuff. I'm not saying that's bad, I'm just wondering why he's so dead set on staying solo when his solo stuff is really similar to what he was doing in Floyd, and he even plays some Floyd songs at a few live shows. If there is truly no bad blood like he says, then I can't see why he'd be against a reunion tour or the like.

Checked

well if u had a guilotene and u put both arms in

btw david is being all mean to humanity

if other floyd fans are like i am then i think i speak for everyone saying we pretty much hope for a reunion although we know it wont ever happen... and these articles just make it worse although we try to pretend there is hope while we know there isnt... but since we know its almost like a blow to the balls

but at least another live show? for some benefit or stuff like that? the world isnt short of problems, and gilmour himself said earlier that he wouldnt mind a live show for charity or something like that.

he's like 100. i like the old pink floyd music. it was free and energetic. but then they turned kinda normal lol. i dunno. i like the old style better thats all im saying.

[darthbuttchin]

Anyone who has read any music magazines in the last 6 months will have seen interviews with him, in which he has stated that he doesnt intend to re-unite Pink Floyd.

As usual, the UG news section is behind the times and also not really giving actual news, just common knowledge with an advertisement of the artist in questions latest release.

[crazy8rgood]

Could somebody please explain what that means?

But, yeah, i had my hopes up too... Very dissapointing...

[luvsmygf13]

That sucks. but at least he's still making great music.

[Scorge]

hmmmm.....maybe they should try therapy to settle their differences. hey, sometimes you gotta let go of your pride to put the past behind you and keep a great thing going. that's if they're so willing of course...

I think that they are awraid that if they dont check every other monht they are going to relise a double album and an world tour.
The news about Radiohead making new material was 3rd on the list. Personally Radiohead is not that big of a deal for me but for some people Thom York is some sort of a messias for alternative music so why isnt that article on the top of the news list?

Next they are going to say that Elvis isnt thinking about a comeback.

With all respect UG i love you but come on!

[tobinator91]

It is not possible to argue that Pink Floyd was at the forefront of pioneering creative and ambitious music in both their prime. Their music has had a tremendous effect on modern progressive and rock music, undeniably. I have seen both Waters and David G in concert, each in their own glory. They both blew my mind and perception of how a concert could make the audience feel before and after intoxication. But we can't be set in our ways. The Floyd was a project that spawned numerous phenomenal albums and a heaping handful of unforgetable songs. But they have burnt out on eachother... they are letting down millions of dedicated fans: new and old. I have heard countless times from teens that they will never get a chance to witness the glory of a Pink Floyd concert. While this is almost guareented to be the case, they could have done a little research and went to one of the shows on Waters Darkside of the Moon Tour in 2007... which was damn close and equally awe-inspiring as a true Floyd concert. So until we can all stop fighting about the band members disagreements and come together to work together, we will never see a Pink Floyd concert. Ever again.

i loved pink floyd... however i doubt they would be any good if they would reunite...

[Bigshoutout]

It was from the inner Pink Floyd conflicts that their best music emerged. When Rogers left the band lost most of what it had going for it.

The very fact the band hate each other is why they should produce another album. I don't care about a tour, i'd never get tickets but an album would be so brilliant.


None of Pink Floyd have really been successful or worth attention solo. Just like all the other great bands like The Verve or The Beatles.

you bastard dont know what its like playing with a group of guys for half a century and playing the same songs again and again...its effing boring as hell...especially in the rehearsal room.lets just put the reunions to rest and smile to the fact that pink floyds music will live on forever.

[afloydfan]

Pink floyd has denied us 30+ years of the most beautiful and mindblowing music and allowed crap like R&B and duff-duff music to come out of the sewer. Watching Comfortably Numb at full bore from the Pulse DVD is a sublime treat.

[Jondy]

WOAH people do you realize the historical significance of this? the article was actually legit!

[Gilmourisagod]

Admittedly, Dave playing with Roger again would always be on the edge for him. They couldn't simply walk into a room and be friendly just like they were in 72-73 in the Live At Pompeii/Dark Side era, there's just too much back history. Roger has a very domineering overpowering personality, which in a band like the Floyd can overtake a friendship, which is unfortunate, as I think Dave just couldn't take anymore (and i'm sure Rick would have had problems if they got back together for a longer period).

You could sort of see it when they did the Live 8 gig, Roger appeared (from my perspective), possibly a little bit guilty & eventually emotional about the past when playing on stage from his face, however the longer they were on stage together, it appeared he wanted to just overtake. Dave did seem to be having fun when they did Money & it seemed that as him and Roger made eye contact they knew there was something there playing together on stage that they both missed, however they quickly start to get back to the old Dave on one side of the stage and Roger on the other, more or less backs to each other (even though to be fair it seemed that Roger tried as much as he could to be as friendly as possible). There seemed to be from the glances and stares from Dave to be a bit of a bitchrace going on until Dave eventually simply said 'Thanks very much, goodnight', you could see by Roger's face as he put down his bass it was a sort of 'what the hell is he doing, this is our moment!!' look.

I as a Floyd fan would obviously want a new 2009 tour (think Live 8 gig for 2-3 hours per show), although i could never see them going back into studio to record new material, it would be the old arguments all over again, including the writing of the material (Roger walking into The Wall and simply going, all done guys, lets record this) and would end up with one of them walking out. All I can think is until they can really both sit down in a room and shout it out until they really clear the air properly as friends do, no reunion will ever happen. And this is my opinion simply on Dave & Roger, Roger & Rick would be a different story.

They need to both sit down, have a spliff together or something and talk it through, everything, and I mean EVERYTHING & until Roger can admit that he needs to back off & give them all some breathing space as writers & all taking part and giving their own little piece to the puzzle of an album, then unfortunately i don't think a long standing reunion would ever happen. And if they did clear the air & made promises, they would need to stick to it (Dave as WELL as Roger, everyone has their own bit of blame to share).

Dave, you really broke my heart tonight, a very unfortunate realism & just a Pink Floyd fan who has realised that this will never, EVER happen until things can be done from all sides of the Floyd to make the band great again, friendships come first, great music comes from them & their experiences. It's a shame that none of them can actually sit down and fix them properly, and not just because they're being forced to by 3rd parties to get together. I know that Roger & Dave after Live 8 had some lunch together a few times, i still think it could happen i guess, it just needs a LOT more time for Dave & Roger for them both to work through their differences & their arguments and see if they can put that into a work environment.

[keithmichaelrau]

Could Gilmour possibly have a bigger ego? You would think the man "Shit Marble" the way he goes around with his nose up to the rest of the band. Personally I think Roger is better off without the arrogant prick I mean for Christ sake Roger is responsible for the majority of what is considered The Perfect Album "The Wall". Get over yourself David granted you are an exceptional guitarist but you are by no means god. The real shame is Nick and Richard have kind of had to suffer as your personal Lap Dogs to continue doing what they love I would guess that to them any Pink Floyd is better then no Pink Floyd but without The Main ingredient it lacks the passion it once had. This is in no way meant to insult Nick or God Bless His Soul "Richard" it is simply a person who feels that he has been appreciative of a group of mens incredible talent but cheated out of its possible continued genius because Davids poor little feelings might get hurt. Memo to David there's a little band known as The Eagles maybe you've heard of them it could be argued that there has never been a group of musicians who had a greater hate for one another then they did and yet they rose above it and some would argue played some of there best music together following it. I realize in the scheme of things I am just a fan and the likely hood of this ever being read by you is pretty much nil just take it as food for thought.
