Roger Waters says a new Pink Floyd 'Animals' box set is coming along with his memoir. Meanwhile, he remains at war with David Gilmour.
The news comes during a particularly frosty period in the relationship between Waters and Gilmour. One of their big points of contention is access to the Pink Floyd official website and the group’s social media accounts. Waters claims that he’s been banned from posting on them and therefore cannot promote his tours and other projects directly to the fans.
set to be delayed because of their disagreement over the liner notes. “This is a small part of an ongoing campaign by the Gilmour/[Polly] Samson camp to claim more credit for Dave on the work he did in Pink Floyd, 1967-1985, than is his due,” Waters wrote.”Yes, he was, and is, a jolly good guitarist and singer. But, he has for the last 35 years told a lot of whopping porky pies about who did what in Pink Floyd when I was still in charge.
Waters was supposed to spend the past year on the road with the This Is Not a Drill tour, but the pandemic caused him to. During the downtime, Waters has just revealed, he began work on a memoir. “I’ve had a lot of time on my hands over the past year,” Waters says in a new Instagram video. “I thought, ‘Bugger me. If I don’t do them now, I’ll probably never do it.'”
One of his motivations is to correct the historical record he claims has been distorted by Gilmour. On his website, he points to a 1982 interview the guitarist gave to David Fricke where he talks about the creation of the tape loop on the song “Money,” which he“Everything DG is saying here to David Fricke sounds like gobbledygook is because it is fucking gobbledygook,” Waters writes. “He has no fucking idea what he’s talking about.
Roger Waters begins his tour on June 6th, 2022 at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh. And anyone hoping for a guest appearance by David Gilmour at one of the shows is probably out of luck. They’ve been fighting for the past 50 years and seem to have hit yet another low point in their relationship.
