MANZANERA ÜBER GILMOUR & FLOYD

20minutos

29.11.2007: Ein aktuelles Interview von Phil Manzanera gab es in der spanischen Zeitung 20minutos nachzulesen. Manzanera bestätigte, dass ein neues Roxy Music Album im Entstehen ist. Und möglicherweise sogar Brian Eno darauf mitspielt. Für uns außerdem von Interesse, seine Kommentare über David Gilmour.

Lot of years vinculated to Pink Floyd and David Gilmour. What's your impression on working with him in his last work?
Phil Manzanera: I knew him when I was 17. I wanted to play in a group and my brother presented me to David when he entered in Pink Floyd. Four years later I heard his guitar while they were recording Dark Side of The Moon and I sent him a telegram (I was already on Roxy). Nowadays we live in opposite houses. My wife makes the advertising of David and we talk about new projects on the kitchen. Years ago he told me he didn't recorded anything new for a long time so I offered to give him a hand and organize a lot of ideas he had. Then we recorded the CD (On an Island) and later we did a tour with our wives. It was fantastic.

Is its true that Roger Waters called David Gilmour during  the recording of On An Island to reunite Pink Floyd for Live8?
Phil Manzanera: Yes, it's amazing but it's destiny. We were recording, the phone rang and David answered the calling and accepted.

Will Pink Floyd get reunited again?

Phil Manzanera: I think not, but who knows...
