  1. I really like it. I think it's better than Magic.
  2. I'm also getting Meddle, Wish You Were Here and Animals by Pink Floyd on vinyl.
  3. Egos are always part of the reason a band breaks up, unless there's extenuating circumstances, like for instance Led Zeppelin. They weren't going on without Bonzo, so that was that. There's a documentary called Pink Floyd: Behind The Wall and it goes into great detail about how the tour was crafted, from the actual "bricks" used on stage to the puppets and the graphic imagery (the fucking flowers, the marching hammers, etc,.) I think when David said it was ridiculous, that was him being nice.
  4. It's David Gilmour. The problem was, Roger's ego was starting to eclipse the music. I don't know if you've seen The Wall (the tour, not the movie) but it was so overblown and starting with Animals on forward the other three members of the band were marginalized to the point where they weren't contributing to the music at all. Hell, Waters fired Rick Wright before The Wall tour even started. The Final Cut was basically a Roger Waters solo album. I don't blame the others for being pissed off at him. Frankly, I'd rather see David Gilmour and his touring band than anything Roger Waters is doing, even if Waters did write all the songs.
  5. It's from 2005. It's not as juicy as maybe some people would want, but I think it's pretty informative. Not that there was really anything in there I didn't already know, it's still better hearing it from a band member than some other outside source.

  7. I just bought Nick Mason's book on Pink Floyd. Very excellent read, so far.
  8. As you can tell, I have thing for his stomach. I love when he would expose it when playing. Yum.
  9. As promised, here are some of my pictures (I may have to split the post up to fit all of them in):
  10. I do wish he'd cut his hair. He can leave it gray/white if he wants, but the long hair doesn't suit him anymore.
  11. God, how I love this thread. I can remember on the old board, this thread would be 700 or 800 pages long. Good times. I'll see what pics I still have and post some of them here.
  12. Let's see, bought some clothes at Macy's and Old Navy, got a Gloria Jean's Cookies n' Cream and FINALLY cleaned all the old shit I can't wear anymore out of my closet to make room for my new clothes. Woo-hoo.

  14. Let's see, the thread is asking for what the weather is like where you are. I posted what the weather was like where I am. Gee, I can't imagine why I posted it. It just isn't germane to this thread topic.
