3. He kicked Rick Wright out of the band. Mr. Wright didn't contribute anything to Animals AT ALL.
4. Pink Floyd would still be together if it wasn't for him. All good things must come to an end.
5. He produced the Final Cut which is basically not even a real Pink Floyd album, but a Roger Waters solo album. Lots of people like the Final Cut, although I don't include myself in this number.
I want to know why he can't just shut his big ego down for one minute and go and talk with the band about coming back. He has said publicly that he would be willing to tour with the band as far back as five years ago. They did it for Live 8, why can't they do a tour? David Gilmour is the reticent one (that matters) in the group on this point. They can't because of him. See my last point. I wish the guy would do something right for once. I'm not fond of his albums but he puts on an excellent show and continues to do so (unlike Pink Floyd). I hope Live 8 taught the guy something; that he can shut his ego down, it's just a matter of whether he wants to or not. It's a true story.
