After the tweets, Waters disparaged the contributions of Gilmour and late keyboardist Richard Wright in an interview with The Telegraph, alleging, “They can’t make songs; they’ve nothing to say. They are not creative! They don’t have a single concept, and they’ve never had, which drives them insane.”
Waters announced in the same interview that he would release a re-recorded version of Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon, purportedly taking his former comrades out without their permission.
Waters appears to have supplemented the album’s instrumentals with spoken word, including a “dreadful prose poem” penned after a nightmare over On the Run. Waters added that he rebuilt the album since no one understood what it was about.
“I wrote Dark Side of the Moon,” he explained. “Let’s get rid of all this ‘we’ nonsense!” Of course, we were a band; four of us pitched in – but it was my project, and I wrote it. So… blah!”
The recording is expected to be released in May.
