Kevin Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 I just hope this will also herald the end of the 'who's been a bigger jerk ? : Waters or Gilmore ' discussions as they have been an unfortunate coda to an otherwise great band... I 've always thought that both men have been unfairly abused ( Waters more so ) by bandmates, and especially 'fans' , and that a reunion was not at all out of the question , if people could just let sleeping dogs lie.... Now, as for The Police.... : thumbsup: :guitar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible_r Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 guess i'm not going, didn't get notified and the reply text said that winners would know before the 15th. I never win anything.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsaneTim Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 If only they could come to America! Oh well, they're doing a really good thing, setting aside their differences for a cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunt_Acid Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 Yeah, I read this about a week ago on a Pink Floyd website. I don't know how Bob Geldof did it, but I just can't believe it. I would say I doubt it's going to last, but if they were able to get back together, they might be able to stay together long enough to come on tour to the US. I'd love to meet Rick Wright. He's my favorite member. Roger Waters was an incredible dick to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aunt_Acid Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 Do it! You can't miss up an oppurtunity like this! I'm going to watch it on TV if they have it. I can't wait to see Roger Waters bitch at the crowd like he does every concert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invisible_r Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 they gave out some free tickets to watch it on giant tv screens in hyde park today, and i've beating myself up for not going to get some this afternoon (couldn't leave work early enough). turns out people had been camping outside the places they were being haded out since yesterday, and the tickets were gone within 2 hours. as expected.

DavePinkFloydFan Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 I am flying to London tomorrow, without a ticket, in hopes to see this show. I drove from Seattle to Vancouver to see Floyd in 94' and they were incredible. I have a tattoo on my back from the Wall movie... I've seen a million concerts, but none as good as Pink Floyd. To have a chance to see them with Roger Waters... I have to try... I may get beaten and arrested for jumping the fence at Hyde Park, but then again I might get in... Wish me luck! :-) :guitar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invisible_r Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 apparently they have build a wall around the venue, so they have advised people not to even try because it won't be possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
