Did you notice?

Not really a topic for discussion but my tear-stained eyes got more teary seeing the picture of roger and david in the Echoes Cd Booklet with Roger's arm around David

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!

Together we stand, divided we fall!!!!!

[Sydney]

AAAAh those were the days!

cheers

[sulliman]

BUHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!

[FloydWright]

Think that Mr. Gilmour was trying to send a message with that? It WAS awfully poignant...

[Feenix]

Lets all of us open the gates and let the flood burst out of our eyes! =)

[cho.manno]

It was a poetic friendship. Well, it WAS...

[FloydWright]

Can you tell me...were they ever really friends, the Pink Floyd?

[thorin13]

i would think so.

[FloydWright]

How do you know?

Were even the RW's friends at some time? Now THAT I admit I cannot imagine.

[thorin13]

i don'tknow but why would they have been together for so long or started a band if there wasn't some kind of friendship there. i can't imagine them being in pink floyd for 10+ years without being friends. its ridiculous.

Rick has said numerous times that he and Roger never got on "it was a personal thing" I think in terms of friends that Nick and ROger were the closest and only true "friends" in the band Syd and Rick were close and David and SYd were close too. ROger and Syd had a bond (dead dads) and Nick and Syd were just acquaintances. An example of a close band would be Led Zeppelin. They did everything and (every body) together. I was in a ROck chat room and some chum said that YES was better than Led Zeppelin???? I was in disbelief that anybody could say that

[thorin13]

hey yes is pretty good. its all opinion.

[FloydWright]

I can definitely understand why those two didn't get on. They are personality opposites.

I have been in a situation where I met MY opposite. Being the more sensitive, introverted person, I found it almost impossible to speak when this person was in the room, as things built up. I felt a bad presence, almost like this person RADIATED it. This other person apparently saw me as an unknowable black hole that took in everything but returned nothing.

I cannot even begin to explain how bad it was for me when I finally realised that being gracious and staying out of this person's way wasn't going to work. Everything I did--being polite, keeping quiet--simply misread. And I think some of the stuff this person did...overt, loud door-slamming, mean looks and words, things like that...those obviously did not go over well with me. Every interaction only made this pattern worse.

Finally I HAD to do something. I cannot begin to tell you how difficult it was to get myself to actually open my mouth and SPEAK to this person, and TELL them everything that was bothering me! And I kept talking the whole time this was happening, or listening...but would you believe I started to pass out? I almost DID. I actually went numb all over my body and could not see; it was so bad.

But the good thing was...the two of us worked out our problems.

I can imagine what Mr. Wright went through. I wonder if he would actually understand me if I told him about this episode...

I remember reading a magazine that quoted Rger saying "We were never really a close bunch of friends, we just worked well together".

cheers

Roger's ego wouldn't let him talk openly about his friendships.
