The Walrus' Music Blog: Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason is subject to a .

Recently, Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason was interviewed. He said in the question that he'd be subject to reuniting with former bandmate guitarist David Gilmour and bassist Roger Waters. Mason has stated that he likes the mind of "repeating the Last 8 concept", which means Mason is lacking to do a performance for charity. Live 8 was second in the summer of 2005, in which the classic line-up of Pink Floyd reunited for the 1st sentence on level in over 20 years.

The set also reunited in 2007 for a tribute show to Syd Barrett but the blood up for that was Gilmour, Mason, and keyboardist Rick Wright. Waters was at that point but didn't join his old bandmates on stage that night. There are early signs that display a reunion could only work. Earlier this year, fans were surprised to see when Waters and Gilmour performed four songs together at a benefit concert in England. As a result, Gilmour has promised to create a surprise appearance during one of Waters' tour dates for his 2010 tour for The Fence to perform "Comfortably Numb". Waters himself has likewise been exposed to a reunion saying he would do a one-off gig, according to an audience with Rolling Stone about a month ago. Waters has said there is no way they'll do a go but he likes the thought of doing something like Live 8 again. However, Waters remarked it is a pity that the band didn't get together again before Rick Wright passed away back in September 2008.

When I first saw the style for this clause on Rolling Stone's website, I was actually hoping to learn about some sort of tour. Why the hell did I come for that? Jeez. Still, I'm pretty surprised that the guys are exposed to reuniting despite the fact that Turn has been idle for two years (also, Syd has been idle for 4 year but wasn't he metaphorically dead already?). The way I see it, Live 8 did a lot for the band. I consider it put everyone on just terms, especially David and Roger. After reading the wonderful book called Comfortably Numb, I learned many new things about the band. One of the them being that Roger was a bit of a bully, especially around Rick. What I got from that word is that Roger and Rick didn't get along too easily and thinking that there could be a low probability of a reunification of some sorts. If there is a one-off gig, I'm fairly sure this power be the final time Pink Floyd get together since Roger has ruled out recording any new material and Nick has said that a one-off gig could be a decent way to retirement.
