Q: So, we have to ask you this question, when is it gonna happen, when is Pink Floyd gonna get back together?
Rick Wright: I hate
to say when, 'cause it may not happen when, but all I can say is that I
am pretty sure, that within the next year we will be playing together
in the studio.
Q: Really? The rumour that we've heard is that it'll be the year 2001.
Rick Wright: Yeah, well...that's too long away!
Q: There was something that showed up, I don't know, in the paper somewhere.
Rick Wright: Well, yeah, I
did the calculations, and I maybe started this rumour that the band
works in 7 year cycles, so if the tour finished in '94, you add seven
and it makes it 2001. But I really thing we'll...we will be doing it
before then.
Q: What's the situation with Roger Waters, you probably don't like to talk about it, but are you guys on better terms nowadays?
Rick Wright: Umm...I don't
know, and the reason I say 'I don't know' is 'cause I haven't actually
spoken to him, or seen him since The Wall days, which is maybe
surprising to you, but, he's certainly after... he has split from band,
from Dave and Nick, he just kind of disappeared in a sense. He did
Amused to Death, I believe, his album, and I haven't heard anything
since then. And quite honestly, I have no reasons to give him a call,
umm, but on the other hand, if we'd bumped into each other on the
street, I'm sure we'd sit down and have a chat and talk, and try to
sort out our differences.
Q: So you've never like, just thought, 'I should pick up the phone and call him, I just feel like calling him'?
Rick Wright:
Sometimes, and then I think, 'well, no, why?' No, it's a... there is no
desire I would say, within the band, Nick, Dave, myself, at the moment
to say "let's see if we can get together all over again". I'm sure that
it's a thing that maybe some fans would like, and there are rumours
that go around saying that it's happening, but it's not actually the
case.
Q: I wanted to ask you, as
you were mentioning before we went into that particular track [Us and
Them], that Floyd is back in a year or less, are you gonna stick with
that? We are gonna hold you to it!
Rick Wright: I personally
intend to start working anyway, in my studio early next year, March,
that's what I want to do, and it may well turn out it'll be starting to
prepare music for The Pink Floyd, I don't know.
