That's right, DAvid Gilmour is releasing another solo album sometime I believe in march entitled "On an Island". Basically it's going to be amazing.

His solo stuff is alright, its just a different sound than pink floyd. I'll probably still get it.

Waters is the true heart of floyd (even if he is a dick). The only thing that gilmour still does that is very floydish is uses his patent distortion tones, which sound incredible.

I'm stoked on his new album, but it will be still no where near what the group did as a whole.

Pink Floyd is supposed to play together for one show when Gilmour tours for this album. Except its probably going to be in France, god damn you France!

floyd will never reunite. Waters wants to have a reunion, but gilmour is bitter and rightfully so.

I'm talking about an on-tour reunion.

That was just a charitable event.

I really really want them to get back together, but it will NEVER happen.

Waters even made a statement that he wants a reunion, but on February 3, 2006 Gilmour gave an interview to the Italian magazine "La Repubblica" which indicated the band would no longer tour or produce any new material.

Yeah the internet rumors I heard were a bit off, crazy. This is what i saw yesterday...

"February 23, 2006
Okay, this is starting to get a little strange. David Gilmour insists there will never be another reunion of Pink Floyd's surviving original members, and that he wants to move on. He has a new album and a sold out European tour coming up in March. He'll be joined on stage by Floyd keyboardist Richard Wright.

Meanwhile, Roger Waters will be joined by Floyd drummer Nick Mason to perform 1973's dark side of the moon album in its entirety somewhere in France this summer. Details are to be announced in 2/27/06 webcast."

I cant see all of them joining up for an extended tour but I can see them getting together and playing dark side of the moon or something.
