Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason is the
subject of a fascinating, indepth interview in the current edition of
German magazine Galore.
The magazine, issue 1405, is in
stores now, and for those who cannot read German, our friend Chris
Abbey has done an excellent translation of the complete interview.

Under the headline of “Rock stars
have to show off because they’ve got weak egos", Nick covers all manner
of subjects, from the advantages and disadvantages of fame, through to
the history of the band, the recent Live 8 reunion ("those bastards at
the front of the stage always get all the attention!"), and what he'd
do if he had access to a time machine.
Naturally, the inevitable
question of the future comes up, to which Nick's reply will kindle the
hope within Floyd fans: "No, I’m definitely still up for it. David
doesn’t want to go on tour at the moment and that’s to be respected; I
won’t push him either. As long as the Rolling Stones are still on the
road, there’s no need for us to worry about our age. But if it was all
to start again tomorrow, I’d start packing like a shot."
The whole interview can be read within the Nick Mason part of our Interviews area.
