Well, David Gilmour and Roger Waters still hate each other. Gilmour’s wife, the author Polly Samson, took to Twitter to denounce Waters as a “misogynistic, antisemitic Putin apologist” (amongst several other things), and Gilmour shared the claims as “demonstrably true.
“Sadly @rogerwaters you are antisemitic to your rotten core,” Samson tweeted. “Also a Putin apologist and a lying, thieving, hypocritical, tax-avoiding, lip-synching,misogynistic, sick-with-envy, megalomaniac. Enough of your nonsense.” Soon after, Gilmore quoted his wife’s tweet, adding, “Every word demonstrably true.”
Waters has long been outspoken in his beliefs surrounding the Russia-Ukraine conflict, even calling President Joe Biden a “war criminal” by supplying arms to Ukraine and, in his mind, “fueling” its war with Russia. He expanded on those beliefs in a recent interview, walking back a previous remark calling Putin a “gangster” and instead saying he’s more open to listening to what the Russian president has to say.
Elsewhere in the interview, Waters defended his longstanding boycott of Israel, stating simply, “The Israelis are committing genocide.”
“In my opinion, Israel has a right to exist as long as it is a true democracy, as long as no group, religious or ethnic, enjoys more human rights than any other,” Waters added later. “But unfortunately that is exactly what is happening in Israel and Palestine. The government says that only Jewish people should enjoy certain rights. So it can’t be described as democratic.”

LOL- exactly!! But Gilmour is correct
This is a case of Bolshevik vs Menshevik. Neither of these men are anything close to conservative.
Waters is still pissed they brought in someone else to sing that song
But Waters, as much as i despise him. wrote all the songs on Animals, except one which he co-wrote with Gilmour. Most Pink Floyd fans prefer that over The Wall.
“Aw, c’mon boys. Can’t you just get along?”
asking questions about Ukraine is the same as asking questions about covid. You will be cancelled. So shut up and do what you’re told and put the damn ukraine flag on your FB page, peasants.
Then the band will not be getting back together?! But what she said about Waters is correct.
I’d say he’s cruisin for a bruisin.
That would be the great Roy Harper.
A short, sharp shock.
Waters is everything Polly said.
He’s also right about Ukraine…
Lip-Synching?...now thems fighting words!
Do we really want two late 70s(76 DG, 79 RW) getting back together for one big reunion tour.
When you watch their various YouTube videos you realize most of those were over ten years ago.
Roger is a tremendous song writer. Animals is still my favorite Pink Floyd album. The fact is Roger ripped off George Orwell’s Animal Farm when composing all the songs.
However, there is a reason why Pink Floyd reunited without Roger. He is an A$$hole. Nick Mason didn’t like him either.
Roger treated Rick Wright like crap. Gilmour brought him back.
And Gilmour all those years was the one who looked after Syd Barrett and made sure he was well taken care of.
Looks like their relationship has hit “The Wall”. I guess neither one of them has thought to himself “Oh, how I wish you were here...”Probably hoping instead that the other one “Runs like hell” and finds his way to the Dark Side of the Moon.
Well, I really don’t want to “Meddle” in their business, and since I’m out of “Time”, I guess I’ll just wait to see which of these winds up in the “Great Gig in the Sky” first...
(sorry)
I also think Presence is Zeppelin's strongest album, and Quadrophenia is The Who's strongest. I also think the Stones suck.
Your mileage may vary.
Not many think that way. That's kind of like when I tell Yes fans that "Drama" is my favorite Yes album.
David Gilmour sounds kind of stupid...
Roger Waters just likes to shoot his mouth off. He could easily write a $100,000,000 check to Turkish-Syrian earthquake relief, today or tomorrow. But he won’t. This commie likes his money. He figures he earned it, he is going to keep it. Same as other capitalist does.
