In a new interview with The Guardian, the ‘Wish You Were Here’ singer shut down any kind of optimistic ideas that he would potentially reunite with Waters. “Absolutely not. I tend to steer clear of people who actively support genocidal and autocratic dictators like Putin and Maduro [president of Venezuela],” he told the outlet.
Gilmour continued: “Nothing would make me share a stage with someone who thinks such treatment of women and the LGBT community is OK. On the other hand, I’d love to be back on stage with [Pink Floyd keyboardist] Rick Wright, who was one of the gentlest and most musically gifted people I’ve ever known.”
Gilmour is so washed. Sure, the guy can sing and play guitar, but it’s so funny he seems to fancy himself a better all around musician, songwriter and activist than Waters. Dudes a lib through and through, he apparently doesn’t even know that Waters has signs up at his shows that say “Fight the Patriarchy” and “Trans Rights”.
Saw Waters in Salt Lake City a while ago. I have N E V E R felt the way I did there. It was almost like some revolutionary political gathering.
And to think, after that, that Water was anti trans? Dude had an entire stage made of screens, with images showing support for EVERY SINGLE marginalized person that exists. It was fucking beautiful.
Gilmore really made a fuckin’ fool of himself here, casting away an ally like that.
The thing is, foreign policywise, *David Gilmore tows the state department and MI7 line…
You think so? I think one of the biggest foreign policy issues right now is the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and he is, to put it lightly, extremely unconventional on the issue. I remember thinking he was a tool back when I was still somewhat liberal. lol
I forgot to mention, just to clarify, we’re talking about David Gilmour, right?
Oh shit, I thought you meant Roger Waters. You’re absolutely correct about Gilmore.
Who is Maduro supposed to be genociding?
BONUS:
“There are songs from the past that I no longer feel comfortable singing. I love ‘Run Like Hell’. I loved the music I created for it, but all that ‘You’d better run, run, run…’ I now find that all rather, I don’t know… a bit terrifying and violent.”
That’s the point of the song, Gilmour! You worked on the album! lol
The guitarist added: “‘Another Brick In The Wall’ is another one I shan’t be doing. I don’t think I’ve done that with my own band, but I certainly did it in the post-Roger Pink Floyd, against my better judgment. The same with ‘Money’. I won’t be doing that.”
He probably unironically believes the things Money is poking fun at. lol

What a fuckin’ dork, I swear to god
“Now that I have boatloads of money, I see that it is now good actually” - Gilmour
Gilmour sucks and he always has. His guitar solos are the worst part of the song. His voice sucks, he’s terrible at writing. I’ll always be a little pissed that he essentially took the Pink Floyd name and used it for his solo career. Those last Floyd albums without Waters are unlistenable boomer pop, with no meaning other than “flying is fun”.
Floyd is dead, the only part that is still alive is Waters, Gilmour is an old man dragging the corpse of a band around and saying it’s him.
I really like the Division Bell actually but anything after that is completely derivative, it’s all he had to give creatively
His voice sucks
Firmly disagree with this, Waters voice on older PF tracks is way worse unfortunately. But yeah that’s Gilmour’s only redeeming quality especially now
there was a time where I was younger and was convinced by lib PF fans that Roger Waters was crazy and all the rest of em get it
i know this is a joke of a cliche, but they couldn’t make Animals today - the rest of the band would be too lib to let something like that slide
Samson’s father was Lance Samson (died 4 February 2013[1]), a newspaper editor[1] and diplomatic correspondent for the Morning Star. Her mother was a writer of Chinese descent, Esther Cheo Ying, who wrote a memoir, Black Country to Red China, about her time serving as a Major in Mao Zedong’s Red Army. Samson’s mother’s second husband was the British journalist Alan Winnington
How dare you critique the Wounderous and Gloriful Empire that I was overly privilaged and born into! Let me get a grab bag of our harshest unrelated buzzwords! Be gone, you ruin our good graces with the King!
David SHILLmore
The article prominently featuring multiple ads for a t-shirt he is selling with some Boomer slogan and all the PF members on it is just
I used to dig Gilmore. But I will never fuckin ever stop loving ROGER WATERS THE MAN IS A GODDAMN HERO.
Oh no! It’s so hard to find other musicians that can replicate David’s contribution to those songs, where as any one can stand in for Roger.
The ad directly under the article lul.
Syd is dead…
Like I said, libs only care about genocide when the media tells them to. That apparently includes Venezuela lol
Gilmour, king of the boomer bend
I don’t know of a Gilmour song besides “Learning to Fly” that is actually enjoyable to listen to (though that one is v good, to be fair). It’s pessimistic about musicianship in general to say someone as blegh as him is “medium talent”.
Any other genocidal politicians he can name?
