What was happened between Waters and Pink Floyd?
I’m huge fan of Pink Floyd, especially Roger Waters, but I still don’t know what happened among them? and Why Roger leave the band?… And Why he played again with them in Live8 and after that again he leaves?…
PLZ send me everything that you know about Pink Floyd history… ThanX….
During and after the recording of The Final Cut, it was pretty clear that there was no way that Dave and Roger were going to record together again. The artistic and personal differences between the two had just grown too strong. Whether this meant that Pink Floyd was dead or not is an open question — suffice to say that Floyd was certainly not going to continue with the same membership. But there was never an offical statement disbanding the group or stating its future intentions.
So following TFC’s release, Roger went off and did his “might have been Floyd” album, The Pros n’Cons of HitchHiking, while Dave worked on his own solo album, About Face. Both were released in ’84, and both went to about #30 on the Billboard charts.
Roger continued touring in 1985, while Dave devoted his energies to working on projects for and with other musicians. In mid-85, Waters decided to terminate his personal management deal with Steve O’Rourke, who was pressuring him to make another Floyd album. Since Steve was Pink Floyd’s manager, and since Floyd had not been officially disbanded, Roger was still contractually obligated to him. In order to terminate this deal, he needed the assent of Dave and Nick, the other parties to the deal.
In return, he offered them the rights to the Pink Floyd name (later saying he did so without making the ethical considerations he should have). At any rate, Dave and Nick would not ratify O’Rourke’s termination.
Roger then decided the way to get around this was to simply leave the group officially, as he had unofficially, thinking it would be dead without him. So, in December 1985, Roger wrote to the record companies and announced his departure from Pink Floyd.
Then in 1986 upon finding out that the group partnership was in fact unofficial (and thus that disbanding it would be meaningless), Roger asked the Court for a ruling that would make the unanimous consent of all members (including Roger) necessary for any decision regarding Pink Floyd Music, including use of the name, concert props (like Mr. Screen), etc.
The court never actually ruled on the issue, and meanwhile Momentary Lapse of Reason was released. Roger raised a lot of public hell, but privately his lawyers told him he didn’t really have a case, and so he settled for a compromise.
And I think that’s about it… I ignored several issues (Ezrin and Wright’s involvement, “the record company meeting,” etc.) that I don’t think are legally relevent — info on them can be found in the articles and interviews at ftp.halcyon.com. The degree to which they’re morally relevent, and the question of whether reviving Pink Floyd was “good,” are matters I leave to your judgement…
