Taken from this interview from 1999:

So where you a full band member when it came to recording The Division Bell?

Full member is partly true. Not in terms of contract. Dave and Nick didn’t want to give away what they’d gained. And it came very close to a point where I wasn’t going to do The Division Bell because I didn’t feel that what we agreed was fair. And interestingly Dave said you have this right to be a member of the band, but when it comes to the nitty gritty wouldn’t give it back, which I think was kind of selfish. Me rejoining the band when they were still fighting Roger helped them, because Roger’s criticism was that it wasn’t Pink Floyd anymore, but by me being there gave them three members again – and two of them were writers.

Musically, I’m a full member again. Contractually, no. Now, if anything happens again, it’s full member or nothing - that’s my attitude. I hope something does happen and everyone else does. I think Dave’s problem is he worked damn hard on Momentary Lapse… and he thinks he felt he took the whole thing on his shoulders and he did. When it came to The Division Bell, he felt he was taking the whole thing on his shoulders and, again, he was, but he didn’t want to delegate, he didn’t want contributions from me. I think he thought, if there was the next Floyd album he’d have a hell of a lot of work to do. But it doesn’t have to be like that. It could be written the way we used to. But I have been lazy and haven’t done enough because I had big changes in my life, although I have quite a bit of material stashed away. We’ve both been lazy. Dave’s reticent about the future but I really do hope we do something again.

There seems to be a narrative among some Floyd fans that David taking the helm meant Rick was back on board and being treated fairly now that the Big Bad Roger was gone, but Rick himself offers a pretty different narrative, one where David brought on Rick to look good legally as a second songwriter, but him and Nick didn't actually give him an equal share of the money, not even during The Division Bell when all the legal troubles had been long past. Which really sucks to hear!

Relevant meme since this is the shitposting sub.

Btw, this is first time buying a physical copy before hearing it online.

Wish You Were Here is an “exception” because I could not for the life of me make up my mind between Roger and David, the song works because of the both of them

Imagine if Paul McCartney was on instagram responding to photos of John Lennon with "my walrus <3" the reality of this man puts gay fanfiction to shame

Reminder: No variations of songs are allowed. No "this song but...", no twists that make ok songs unlistenable, only real Pink Floyd songs, in the worst order possible to make the experience as unpleasant as possible. This is not a ‘worst song’ ranking or a ‘put shit songs together’ list. It’s a list where songs wouldn’t transition well and sound out of place if played live.

The setlist so far:

1) Eclipse
2) Brain Damage 3) Empty Spaces
4) On The Run
5) Don't Leave Me Now
6) Speak To Me
7) The Nile Song
8) Pigs On The Wing 2
9) Pigs On The Wing 1
10) Outside The Wall
11) Bike
12) Several Species Of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together In A Cave And Grooving With A Pict
13) Louder Than Words
14) Take Up Thy Stethoscope And Walk
15) Stop
16) A Spanish Piece

What would be the worst song to follow it up?

I needa know how this is i found it at an antiques store and its nick mason so I creamed a little when I found it and I heard Dave sings a song too. Dont know who this fucking Finn guy is but it sounds like a cool album

Possibly the most ominous sounding song in Pink Floyd's repertoire, featuring a backwards message and ambient droning synths, Empty Spaces is a bridge song between Goodbye Blue Sky and Young Lust. On the album.

In the movie, it gets paired up with a cut track called "What Shall We Do Now?". I've always really liked this one and it's a shame you cant find it on the album.

As always, be sure to rate the song on a scale from 1 to 10, give your thoughts and opinions down below, and don't everything Rog tells you to like a good little boy.
