[glow=green,2,300]ROGER WATERS REGRETS 1980's BATTLE AGAINST
PINK FLOYD [/glow]
Roger Waters spoke candidly about Pink Floyd during his recent
appearance on Howard Stern's radio show, according to Ultimate
Classic Rock. When asked about parting ways with David Gilmour,
Nick Mason, and the late Rick Wright in the mid-'80s, he
explained: "It was character forming." When Stern pressed him
and asked if the band was wrong to regroup and perform Floyd
material on the road without him, Waters -- who viciously
battled Gilmour and Mason in court over the group's name --
admitted: "No I don't think so. I think I was wrong to think
they were wrong."
Waters, who'll be back in North America this spring in yet
another leg behind his live revival of The Wall, explained that
the band seemed to all be on the same page until their first
whiff of across-the-board success: "1973, The Dark Side Of The
Moon was the first time we made any cash. We were reasonably
generous with one another at that time. I think once you've
achieved that measure of success, you've really done what it was
that you set out to do together. From then on it was really
about clinging to the trademark in a kind of frightened way, not
wanting to lose the umbrella with the words Pink and Floyd
together."
Roger Waters told us that the seeds to The Wall revival actually
were inspired by another classic Floyd album from the '70s:
"Well, I very much enjoyed The Dark Side Of The Moon tour I did
in '07/'08, maybe because I included the whole of Dark Side Of
The Moon in the last tour that I did, it put it in the minds of
a lot of people around me: 'Why don't you do The Wall?' And I
started to think about it, and I recovered from the last tour
and I got the feeling that I had at least one more (tour) left
in me."
