Bummer... one of the best bands ever.

[A CA Guy]

Knew they would never last. ;-)

[TexasCajun]

A Dark Day.

[rjsimmon]

Well, they say the breaking up is hard to do...

[Nep Nep]

did we ever find out which one’s pink?

[Red Badger]

Got to keep the loonies on the path........................

[Dilbert San Diego]

Another brick in the wall.........

As of now, only two of the four longest-term band members are still alive - and they can barely stand to be in the same room together.

I’d say this announcement is a case of “making the obvious official”.

[erod]

Didn’t this happen 30 years ago?

[Olog-hai]

I blame the antisemite Roger Waters, even though he hasn’t been in the band for 32 years.

Somehow, Waters seems less sane than the late “crazy diamond” Syd Barrett in many ways.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

No Vegas revue coming, I take it?

[Red Badger]

Well, we still have Brit Floyd!

after announcing a new album, The Endless River, to be released later this year

Huh? The Endless River was released over eight months ago. I have it on my iPhone. It's all instrumental. I think the last song on the album is the only one with lyrics.

[Obadiah]

“HuHuh! I was in the right!”
“Yes, absolutely in the right!”
“I certainly was in the right!”
“You was definitely in the right. That geezer was cruising for a
bruising!”
“Yeah!”
“Why does anyone do anything?”
“I don’t know, I was really drunk at the time!”
“I was just telling him, he couldn’t get into number 2. He was asking
why he wasn’t coming up on freely, after I was yelling and
screaming and telling him why he wasn’t coming up on freely.
It came as a heavy blow, but we sorted the matter out”

I know it’s sacrilege, but frankly I found PF close to the edge of boring.

Well we will always have the studio albums. Not seeing them live is no big loss. Their live concerts were basically a note-by-note replication of their studio music with a semi-interesting backdrop.

Was listening to the Meddle albums a few nights ago and my dog still goes nuts whenever "Seamus" plays.

[mmichaels1970]

In a related note, Gilmour is releasing Rattle That Lock in a month.

[equaviator]

“You’ve gotta get an album out. You owe it to the people. We’re so happy, we can hardly count!”...

[Rodamala]

Is a bummer... really too bad Roger Waters is such a supreme A-hole.

[Uversabound]

Their first albumn and the first few were wonderful.

Young men who were full of idealism.....never mind the instrumentals...I think I listened to the DSOTM for a whole year in high school.

Roger Waters lives in NYC. You know my take as a 53 year old is that he grew up with socialism and his lyrics became so depressing later in life.

The memory of a man in his old age are the deeds of a man in his prime....yep that first albumn is my fave!
