Roger Waters would like Pink Floyd to reform again

Roger Waters says he would reform Pink Floyd for a short set again, like Live 8, but not for longer, and regrets his negativity in the band's 1985 era.

Roger Waters has said that he enjoyed Pink Floyd's Live 8 reunion so much that he'd like to do it again, but thinks that it couldn't happen for any length of time. As reported ad nauseum, bandmate David Gilmour has said again and again that he doesn't see a proper reunion on the cards, ever.

Speaking about Live 8, Waters said: "I felt it was very important for me to do Live8, and I thought it was great to get onstage with other three guys. I had nothing but positive feelings about that...I would do something else [like Live8] in a heartbeat - but if it was for anything more than a few songs, then I think there would be difficulties."

He continued: "I think it would be very cordial if we ever spoke to each other, but don't inhabit the same world socially. Rick [Wright] and I were never really friends, and Dave [Gilmour] and I were never really friends, so the fact that we are still no longer really friends is kind of irrelevant to all of our lives".

Commenting on the reasons for the band's demise, he continued: "I don't think any of us came out of the years from 1985 with any credit, really. It was a bad, negative time, really. And I regret my part in that negativity. Why should I have imposed my feeling about the work and what it was worth on the others if they didn't reel the same? I was wrong in attempting to do that."
