But I have some bad news...I just read somewhere that Nick Mason was interviewed recently and he said that there will not be a tour in the near future because they have no new material and he said that if they went on tour without any new material then they would be considered a "nostalgia" band. I don't think he mentioned anything about the rumors of Roger Waters reuniting with the group. The big rumor was that Waters would rejoin Floyd for a tour that would end at the Giza Strip (where the Great Pyramids are) on December 31st, 1999. If this does happen, it will probably be a "farewell tour" with their retirement on 12-31-99 (or 31-12-99, depending on where you live) at Giza. This would be my dream songlist for a Floyd concert if Waters comes back...

I think Echoes is their most surrealistic song. --- Telegard v3.02 * Origin: The Steiner Line BBS 910-626-7985 (1:3648/6) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 182 60'S 70'S ROCK Ref: FAS00007Date: 06/06/98 From: CORVUS RABE Time: 01:27pm \/To: BARRY LAWS, JR.

If Pink Floyd and Roger Waters reunite, it will be one of the biggest reunions of all time (the other big reunions were the Eagles from 1994 and the Beatles in 1995 [sans John Lennon]). I guess they could reunite and put out an album called "Hell Has Really Frozen Over". I guess Satan better have his thermal underwear handy just in case. ...

Made in 1989, it's a perfect and surreal progmetal piece. With the prog long songs, I like it. If you like Rush and Dream Theater, pick up a Fates Warning CD. --- Platinum Xpress/Win/Wildcat5! v2.1i * Origin: BBS Networks @ www.bbsnets.com 808-839-6036 (1:345/0) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 182 60'S 70'S ROCK Ref: FAS00010Date: 06/15/98 From: JACKIE BURNS Time: 05:22am \/To: BARRY LAWS, JR.
