RIP Rick.

And cancer takes another.

 

[Reinhardt]

that really sucks. so sorry to hear it.

 

[EVILFACE]

That sucks. Pink Floyd is my all time favorite band. He'll join the Great Gig in the Sky.

Everyone play Celestial Voices in his honor.

 

[pixletwin]

Yup. Today is gonna be a Pink Floyd day on iTunes for me.

 

[ProgMatinee]

There goes my dream reunion.
I'll be listening to some Floyd tonight.

I always loved his style of minimalist playing (though I do love the full-on playing by guys like Wakeman and Emerson too).

One of my favorite Floyd tracks is Rick's underrated "Wearing the Inside Out" on Division Bell.

 

[pixletwin]

The G8 concert is the closest we'll ever get to a reunion, though a "true" reunion went out the window years ago when Syd passed away.

 

[Bodie The Cursed]

They made beautiful music..

 

[Batty]

I'm listening to some Floyd right now. 65 is too young.

I was lucky enough to see Pink Floyd twice. They were amazing shows.

 

[OSCORP]

Saw em in 94' wiggin my balls off. I will never forget.

 

[King Darkness]

Pink Floyd is among my top 5 bands ever. Very sad.

Gonna listen to some Floyd now.

 

[ProgMatinee]

Considering most of my favorite music is from the 70s, I'm ready to hear about a lot of these in the next 10 years or so.

 

[sladesuperagent]

One of the greatest bands of all TIME. RIP Rick

[The Craw]

that was a great band. too bad they never had a true reunion. they just played a couple songs together a few years ago.

 

[devilof76]

Aw, man. I feel like I'm gonna cry. This sucks.

 

[ProgMatinee]

Roger better hurry up and release that last solo album. He's about goners too.

 

[drbrad1975]

This sucks....loved Pink Floyd. I have every single album released and even bought the Shine on box set some years ago. My all time favorite bank....RIP Richard Wright. Cancer is such a bad disease. I am convinced it will eventually get us all.... Very sad news indeed.

 

[drbrad1975]

Saw em in 94' wiggin my balls off. I will never forget.

Yeah, I saw them in '94 at Bobby Dodd stadium about 14 rows back. Greatest show I have ever seen in my life. Pulse was one the great rock shows.

 

[OSCORP]

Yeah for sure probably the best concert i've ever seen.
