Hetfield is a talentless low IQ prick

Call yourself whatever you like Roger

Wow, witty repartee

They left out a bit. He completely dominated and wrote everything on the album Final Cut, which was when David and him had a falling out because Roger would not budge, this was his band and he's going to do it the way he wants to do to and there's no input needed or wanted from anybody so that was untenable for Gilmour.
Now how it goes from that to owning the Pink Floyd name through litigation is beyond me. I mean he was even withholding some of the stage props that Roger had to sue to get back which he did, but that's how ridiculous it was.
Rodger wanted that name because it was his band, it's integrity, but as far as the money is concerned, he don't need the money that's for sure

Huh?

Roger sued Floyd for using the pig on the ‘88 tour, Gilmour and Mason had balls added to the pig to get around the lawsuit. It was over some copyright/trademark bullshit after he already lost the use of the Floyd name.

Ok...?
Roger should have gotten everything back the name, the lights, everything.
All of those things came out of his imagination(well maybe not the name, I'm not sure who came up with that). How Gilmour managed to work the courts into keeping his stuff, is beyond me.

Ugh……

So much of this info is available for the public at this point. You ever bother reading any of their books? Syd came up with the name, BTW.

The lights, mixing desks, everything from Britannia Row, etc, all of it was purchased under the Floyd business, which Roger was no more a part of than Rick, Nick or Syd and then Gilmour. It was all developed to put on Pink Floyd shows in the 70’s, not Roger Waters shows. They sold most of that shit off to recoup their losses from The Wall, which Gilmour and Mason also had to pay for.

As for Waters, the dude wrote some lyrics and the bones of songs, as evident by the demos, none of which a single one sounds like Pink Fucking Floyd until the members of Pink Floyd played on them and that goes for Gilmour just the same.

As a devout Gilmour fanboy, I’ll even say that MTLOR and TDB (which I have tattooed on my forearm) don’t sound or feel like ‘Floyd’ to me in the sense of 70’s Floyd and they’d be better off as Gilmour solo albums.

That said, Gilmour has never tried to portray himself as someone he isn’t, he’s been the first to admit he can’t write lyrics for shit and he does far better at coming up with bits of music and having someone else organize/arrange it for him, which is how all his albums have been written and recorded.

More to the point, Gilmour’s not even that fond of being attached to Floyd as much as many fans would like to think, he’s said since the early 90’s he wished he could just tour like Clapton does with a new band and different music, but people just want to hear him play Floyd tunes.

You made zero points.
I was hoping you'd come up with something but you're just a dumb fuck too

That's true. His wife is the one who did most of the work on his lyrics. I'm sure he contributes and comes up with ideas, but you can tell his lyrics improved after he met his wife.
