The fight continues: The musician claims his material is not on the band's website because its members think it is irrelevant and should shut up

Another episode in the multi-year conflict between Roger Waters and his former friends, the Pink Floyd Band: In a video Waters posted to his Facebook page on Tuesday, under the bombastic "Message from Roger," the musician said he enjoyed joining two of his current bandmates two days ago , For a joint performance (albeit out of closure) for the song "Mother", a classic of his parent band from the album "The Wall". "It was fun and reminded me how much I missed them," he said, recounting the fact that the joint performance saw about 1.5 million of his fans "warm his heart." 

"But that begs the question as to why the video is not on a site calling itself the Pink Floyd Official Website?" Waters wondered, rushing to provide the explanation. "Well, the answer to that is that nothing is on the site, I'm banned by David Gilmore (another band member. OP). About a year ago, I initiated a reconciliation meeting with Gilmore Camp to put behind us all the nonsense. I'm sorry to say that the meeting bore no fruit. " 

At the same meeting, Waters suggested it would be fair for all members of the band to have equal access to the site, due to the fact that millions of band fans regularly visit the page, and they do so because of the collaborative work of all Pink Floyd members, including Sid Barrett. There, Waters said, they could share their personal projects with the audience. "David thinks he owns the site," he explained as to why he felt his offer was not accepted. "He thinks he owns Pink Floyd, himself Pink Floyd. In his opinion, because I left the band in 1985 meant that I was irrelevant and had to shut up. Okay, we're all entitled to our opinions. "

argued that the fact that the legendary band's fans are not exposed to the solo work he spends is a bad thing, and Pink Floyd fans resent For that. "Maybe we should change the band's name to Spinal Tap," he cynically suggested (Spinal Tap is the name of a ridiculous British parodic rock band from a movie of the same name released in 1984, which also mocks internal conflicts among band members, among other things).
