Oh yeah, because we all know how accurate a source of Pink Floyd's history Rick is.

hahah

i always liked paintbox from the early days.....
better than 'stetoscope' imo

i dont think he would want the responsibility of 'leading' Pink Floyd...

im sure he would rather 'lead' a rick wright solo album with nick and david in session...........

Personaly I think Wright is and has always been underrated as a songwriter. Ever heard "Pink's Song" off Wet Dream? I have often wondered if it was intended for a Pink FLoyd album but rejected by Dave and Rog? TO mee it would have been a better fit on The Wall in the place of "Vera" or even "Nobody Home". I also wonder what "The Gunners Dream" would have sounded like with Wright on vocals. I love his voice for a rock singer.

i think in one of davids recent interviews, he said that a lot of ricks songs on wet dream would have been wonderful pink floyd songs, but they were not ready in time for division bell.

Not to give you a hard Time ....But I don't understand this post......Wet Dream was 1978 and Division Bell was 1994....so the Wet Dreams Tunes were ready in time for Division Bell...16 years ready...

After hearing Rick on the Gilmour radio broadcast the other day it really made me want to see a Wright solo tour with just a few backing musicians playing a selection of his Floyd songs and some of his solo material, nice small intimate venues, it would be great if he would tour, even if it was just the once, there seems to be a whole world of possibilities for a really unique show.

Forget Rick. I think it's NICK'S time to lead Pink Floyd. Yes.

I tought it was a rock opera based on the life of Jack the Ripper, called Saucy Jack.

Ok, here's the deal (yeah I know this is a forum where fans of all ages get to fantasize about what could, would, should, has be(een).)

These guys are all old farts now. They're all past retirement age. They spent their entire adult lives basically at one job, from university to retirement. That doesn't happen too often in the real world. None of them has any desire to continue with their "job" anymore. It's done, over, kaput, finito juarez. That they occasionally write and perform music, that they occasionally tour under one guise or another, that they might reform for 'one offs' once in a while, all happen because that's what they enjoy doing as an avocation. So, in summary: Pink Floyd=big old corporate job, bunch of old retired guys, play occasionally for fun.

As you were.
