Nick Mason on the state of Pink Floyd
Nick is the drummer for Floyd, and talks about the relationship between him, Roger Waters, and David Gilmour. Nick's on good terms with both of them, but it's unlikely the other two will either work well together again. Roger doesn't like David because Roger thinks Floyd should've folded when he left in '85 and thinks writing triumphs over all, David doesn't like Roger because of pretty much the same reasons only opposite.
Nick, now 69, points out that it's all pretty silly as he was 35 when Roger left and it is now half a lifetime ago. Sid is dead, the amazing Richard Wright is dead, so they could never be what they were. It'd be nice if they could put their past behind them and at least be friendly to each other again.
Nick is going on tour next year as Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets and will be going across the USA. Myself, I was never much into their psychedelic period, but that's just me. And he got the blessing of both Roger and David for the name of the band, which is nice and will prevent future lawsuits.
