I heard a great radio interview with David Gilmour last year. He was promoting ‘Island’. Gilmour was actually very laid back and interesting, talked a bit about his amazing guitar collection (particularly Stratocasters). He has an old Strat with a 00001 serial number.

Although he didn’t bad-mouth Waters, he did say that Roger tended sometimes to take more credit for songs and musical passages than he should have. Gilmour offered a few examples. He didn’t sound vindictive about it, just a little annoyed. It didn’t sound like David was in any hurry to reassemble Pink Floyd.

If you haven't seen them, be sure to check out the DVD version of Pulse, which is Pink Floyd (w/o Waters), including the performance of Dark Side of the Moon, and David Gilmour's "Remember that Night" which is his Royal Albert Hall concert from the "On an Island" tour. Both are really amazing performances. Frankly, I don't miss Roger a bit. While Roger may have been the lyrical driver for PF, I've always thought that the musical drivers were David and Richard. And Nick added some humor and terrific drums and percussion as well.
