Well it was bound to happen sooner or later. To be honest I think they were over a long time ago, they were an awesome band though and their legacy wont be forgotten.
I forget which guy it was, but I saw a recent live concert of them and his voice was absolutely terrible. Awesome band though! Never will stop listening to the classics!
Too bad if we have another Live 8 style concert in 20 years we won't really have that many bands that huge to perform again. The lineup would probably look like this: Justin Timberlake! Green Day! TATU! and whats this? Simple Plan Reunion! Pink Floyd had their time and were a great innovative band.
That's the problem though. You can't compare these new artists to the old classics. It just doesn't work.
Then how will we ever make a new classic band? There is a band out there somewhere in the world that is the next Pink Floyd.
Perhaps Oceansize. I could see Coheed & Cambria or The Mars Volta changing alot of things in years to come, like Pink Floyd did. As for RHCP, they're more like a better Stones to me.
