I’ve always wondered what the real story was behind Roger Waters leaving Pink Floyd in the mid ’80s. Who knows what went on behind the scenes of Roger Waters and David Gilmour’s epic breakup better than the two of them? Britain’s Classic Rock magazine has been re-running interviews that the two rock legends did in 2000 that helps to explain what went down.
Read the Waters interview first, but don’t miss Gilmour’s either. Both chats make you realize why they have left so much money on the table.

Thanks a lot for the Pink Floyd stuff. These are pretty good articles. Probably my favorite band.
