Rock's Greatest Feuds: Kings of Leon, The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith and More

Waters and Gimour performing at Live 8, 2005.

In 1987 Roger Waters toured separately from the rest of Pink Floyd, while the group went to court over the rights to the band's name. "If one of us was going to be called Pink Floyd, it's me," Waters told Rolling Stone at the time. "That's my pig [on their stage]. That's my plane crashing," he said, referring to the props for the Wall tour. He also took pot shots at Floyd's 1988 album A Momentary Lapse of Reason. "[David] Gilmour's lyrics are very third-rate," he said. "They'll never be as good as mine." Gilmour felt he had every right to continue without Waters — something a judge later agreed on. "I am an extremely stubborn person," Gilmour told Rolling Stone. "I will not be forced out of something I consider to be partly mine." In 2005 Waters and Gilmour finally made peace and performed a four-song set at Live 8. Richard Wright died in 2008, but three years later David Gilmour and Nick Mason joined Roger Waters at a London stop on his world tour. They also remastered their entire catalog, and spoke to Rolling Stone about their fraught history.
