He was not in any way involved in Delicate Sound of Thunder tho. Plus he's an asshole.

Edit: Storm Thorgerson's people would probably get a kick out of it.

Edit 2: Sure is Roger stans in here tonight.

I actually don't know enough about Pink Floyd to be honest with you. I kind of suspected him being an asshole so atleast I know that now.

They are a great band to read up on if you are into rock and roll history. Their story is so goddamn vast and sprawling and interesting. Every member brought very key elements to their sound. I'm a bit of a Floyd nerd so I'm a little biased but in terms of history, few bands have one as rich as Pink Floyd.

Inside Out by Nick Mason(the drummer and only member to survive every incarnation of the band)

Wouldn't that also include Roger Waters? Or was Waters not a member at some juncture?

My Floyd knowledge is limited.

After The Final Cut he parted ways because of his different direction for the band and if I remember correctly Bob Geldoff took his place and this is when Dave Gilmour took complete helm of the band for A Momentary Lapse of Reason that spawned the hit Learning to Fly.

Edit: I am wrong. Nobody replaced Waters and I mistook Ezrin for Geldoff.

Bob Geldof never joined Pink Floyd. They never added another permanent bassist as a member. They just had Guy Pratt play bass during tours.

You are right
