In a new interview with The Guardian, the ‘Wish You Were Here’ singer shut down any kind of optimistic ideas that he would potentially reunite with Waters. “Absolutely not. I tend to steer clear of people who actively support genocidal and autocratic dictators like Putin and Maduro [president of Venezuela],” he told the outlet.
Gilmour continued: “Nothing would make me share a stage with someone who thinks such treatment of women and the LGBT community is OK. On the other hand, I’d love to be back on stage with [Pink Floyd keyboardist] Rick Wright, who was one of the gentlest and most musically gifted people I’ve ever known.”
Gilmour is so washed. Sure, the guy can sing and play guitar, but it’s so funny he seems to fancy himself a better all around musician, songwriter and activist than Waters. Dudes a lib through and through, he apparently doesn’t even know that Waters has signs up at his shows that say “Fight the Patriarchy” and “Trans Rights”.
Gilmour sucks and he always has. His guitar solos are the worst part of the song. His voice sucks, he's terrible at writing. I'll always be a little pissed that he essentially took the Pink Floyd name and used it for his solo career. Those last Floyd albums without Waters are unlistenable boomer pop, with no meaning other than "flying is fun".
Floyd is dead, the only part that is still alive is Waters, Gilmour is an old man dragging the corpse of a band around and saying it's him.
Firmly disagree with this, Waters voice on older PF tracks is way worse unfortunately. But yeah that's Gilmour's only redeeming quality especially now
I really like the Division Bell actually but anything after that is completely derivative, it's all he had to give creatively
