Good. David is Pink Floyd.

He left the band , honestly he should stop doing this kind of statements.

Maybe Waters is being ignored, because he is a self-serving, anti-Semitic, ego-centric prick! The best thing that could happen to rock -n-roll and this world, is for him to take a dirt nap...

If he fights for Palestine why he never gave a concert in Gaza or West Bank?

You could NEVER be irrelevant. We love you always.❤️

Damn Gilmour...

Waters is an anti Semite who should be banned from the planet!

Waters should be banned from tweeter as well. He is an AS and a supporter of terrorists. He sounds the same as the nazis that tormented my families’ lives in the thirties and forties.

Shut up Roger...

You left. If it was important to you, you could have stayed. Quit complaining and move along.

Gilmour and Mason own The Pink Floyd legally and morally. Waters fired Rick Wright during The Wall and left the band a malcontent shortly thereafter. Imagine John Paul Jones firing Jimmy Page. It's absurd. So is Waters.

I have two words for you.... THANK YOU!!! Thank you for this song, thank you for your concert at Lisbon in 2018 that let me speechless until today, it was a dream that came true.... Thank you for your political position which I undoubtedly identify myself..... THANK YOU!!

Why would anyone want one of the worlds most prominent antisemites in their band? It’s embarrassing.

Aww..how cute. Israel hater that bullies other artists not to play there and boycotts country while touring the world with projectors that have Israeli invented parts is banned from his former band’s site. How does it feel to get a taste of your own medicine Roger?

Hello Boomer

dongstreth arzE timecrisis2000 nickweidenfeld Rock Beef ep!! You guys were just talking Floyd.

Maybe you two should sit together and forgive! Like really wise man.

Oh no, it seems someone is hurt by a boycott. rogerwaters I think it's called Karma

Waters is to full of himself to just buck up and play good music with Gilmour's band. I've been to both of the last tours Gilmour did as Pink Floyd and they were the best shows ever!! The Waters Wall show was dissatisfying to most. I want another Gilmour Pink tour!!!

Wow, flashback to 1987. Still a bitter egomaniac for better and worse. Is he going to sue again? He claimed a few years ago he regretted ever having sued. Sometimes you have to live with the results of your actions. Even if your a rich musical genius.

Considering that David and Nick aren’t touring as PF anymore for a long time, it is declared an ex band, so Roger should have access to the social media stuff of the band and have his news and releases posted. But I guess he doesn’t because he doesn’t own the rights of the brand

Just make up already. Unbelievable.

Maybe Roger could be allowed to make a couple Pink Floyd albums, without Dave and Nick.

Whoa!

I think he’s spot on.

I respect Roger and love his music, I realize he wrote a lot of their music, but he chose to leave so, plus we all know they will never record together again anyway

Is it bcos Rogers a bit of a ....!

You are Pink Floyd too Roger, but you still should keep your mouth shut. Especially before supporting the narco chavista dictatorship in Venezuela.

he voluntarily left the damn band!!!! tough luck!!!

Pink Floyd, melhor banda! rogerwaters gênio e com certeza do que ainda nos resta de verdadeiro ser humano!

Gilmour is not fighting , it’s just Water, it’s simple Roger you left the band! That’s it!you don’t have an opinion because you’re not a part of it anymore.

The 'I'm not an anti-Semitic Junkie with an Oedipal Complex' captcha box at the beginning was genius. rogerwaters

Pink Floyd is not Floyd without Waters. The Beatles stopped when Lennon quit... Same thing here.

Maybe if he wasn’t socondescending to his band mates for all those years they would have been more willing to listen. It’s all about the Money for Roger.

rogerwaters Disappointing for many PF fans. Having access to each of the legendary band members past and current material/content, all in one place, would be pretty awesome.

I agree with all the other comments. I'm as tired of this as I am with the stupid Gallagher brothers. Nothing to see here, move along.

waters is a despicable, racist, delusional individual. I'm proud to say I've never purchased a single one of his offerings.

Roger as an uncanny ability to always sound like jerk.

—people often need to suspend their self-promotion, and have someone in their lives they do not need to impress… this explains dog ownership, which Mr. Waters, obviously, doesn't deserve… ;)

Just to be clear- this guy is 76 years old? Not 13

Bands are like a 4-6 way marriage, if you leave it - does your X welcome you with open arms when it’s time to pay the bills? It’s unfortunate this debacle is now a part of history and the long awaited reunion is about hopeful as a vaccine for Covid_19

Pink Floyd band is dead (IMO the last album was The Wall, might be The final cut). What made it great was the original line up, even after Syd. Today it is only a one-man project.

Pink Floyd were just as great without Waters. Gilmore, Mason and Wright (who Waters treated awfully) continued release great albums and put on fantastic shows.

Roger defends the socialist governments of the world. You have a double speech. When capitalism favors him, that's fine. Hypocrite

Waters is the genius of Pink Floyd!

Not in the band and hadn't been for ages,use your own website and say as much as you wsnt

or maybe it's because you often say things that sound awfully anti-semetic

That is incredible sad

No Syd Barrett, No Pink Floyd, he came up with that Name, and with the ORIGINAL PINK FLOYD SOUND did'n he

Waters is always so whiny about stuff like this. He chose to leave the band. Seems to me he should sell and promote his wares on his own website, Facebook page, etc. It's not Dave and Nick's responsibility to promote someone who voluntarily left Pink Floyd.

'left the band' says it all. Enjoy your solo career Roger

😔 Great and amazing musicians who once were great friends and created one of the best bands ever🙏🎸and became billionaires. War, Pandemic, Starvation etc etc. in the World. Totally wrong focus😬, so disappointing😢

In all honesty Waters is a psychopath. He has gone senile long time back. Megalomaniac and egoistic. I love his songwriting probably amongst the best ever but he is a terrible human

Oh come on you´re in your 70´s. Stop the childish bickering already

Maybe if you didn’t insert your political beliefs into the performances then you’d be more welcome. No one gives a shit about your opinion, just play the music

Millionaire, elitist first world problems.

Doesn’t really matter... just enjoy their music from Waters, Pink Floyd and Gilmour...but this fight between the two of them is HILARIOUS

Who cares? Separate the art from the artist. Pink Floyd is over and will never be a band again, but thankfully we still have their music. It's not like we're friends with both of them and have to figure out how to invite them both to our picnic without a fistfight in the yard.

erh na not irrelevant mate you just lost your shit right at the wrong time and they had to move on without you. Can' look back now and re-write history. Move on mate. there's a good chap.

Fcuk Gilmore we love rogerwaters

One of the biggest reasons I cannot get into Floyd is that these two act like bickering children for 40 years.

Roger are you sure it was David who banned you? And not the Jews? Probably the Jews.

These gentlemen are already old and should mature, they have been fighting for who of them is Pink for years, when we all know that Pink is Syd. It is time for them to leave the past in the past.

Good for Gilmour!

I would of thought that the founding members that remained in the band can class pink floyd as theirs, this would of been Rik Wright (rip) and Nick Mason. Its a case of 'my ball, I'm not playing, I'm going home' Roger. WON'T SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE MUSIC 😂

where's the lie?

Fate la pace uagliò

I really could not care less about their feelings for one another. It’s all about the music they made together.

Bands have websites?

Roger tried to f*** the other members when he quit so f*** him . Gilmore and mason should do another PF tour without him .

I’ve always seen Waters as the voice of Floyd and Gilmour the sound. They are a formidable team so it’s a shame that after all these years, there’s still a riff. I don’t know the truth, only them 2 do and no disrespect to Waters but sometimes he needs to let the ego go..

Are you sure they're not brothers?

How can two intelligent men be so stupid. Leave your ego at the entrance

Two old guys yell at clouds. Geezus. Both of them need to get over it already.

bands!

If Roger dies first David will release a nice statement praising his memory. If David dies first Roger will say 'I won'

Maybe he’s just typing the name in wrong

Unfear. Don't worry. For all of us you are parte of Pink Floyd's History.

OMG! 🙄 Please get over it already!! In times like these and ya still wanna fight.

rogerwaters IS in fact irrelevant and SHOULD keep his mouth shut!

Good move. Haters are losers.

Booooorrrriiiinnnnggggg!

Maybe if you wanted to own the name you shouldn’t have left the band?

Sorry it's not their band, it's Sid Barrett's....

Any fan knows Waters was as important as Gilmore and the others. They created, working together as a band. Unfortunate time can’t heal personal wounds.

And I was hoping for a awesome reunion show!

Nick Mason, Mom and Dad are fighting again!

So, Off White Floyd?

Think you boys should 💋 and make up already.

I don't know whether Gilmour is right, but Roger Waters need for prominence sucks.

Enough already. Children

How are they still fighting

OMFG!!! Old man babies....SMFH!

By the way...which ones pink?

No reunion soon then 😂

Thought the ice was thawing after g8 but looks as though its as bad as ever

After 40+ years these 2 are still fighting.

These two just can’t get along for more than five minutes...
