Pink Floyd May Be Coming to Rock Band or Guitar Hero

If you’re a fan of Rock Band and/or Guitar Hero, then you undoubtedly have a Holy Grail band you’d love to play on the platform that is conspicuously absent. Some may point out the Led Zeppelin void, by at the top of my wish-list is Pink Floyd. If Dark Side of the Moon were to arrive for either game, I’d be a very happy person.

Unfortunately, Pink Floyd is one of those bands you can easily see never approving of such a thing, just because the various members like Roger Waters and David Gilmour are notorious for being pains-in-the-ass.

However, there is a glimmer of hope, according to none other than Pink Floyd member Nick Mason, who told the BBC:

Mason said that Pink Floyd has not ruled out working on a Rock Band or Guitar Hero-style game in the future.

“I think we’d consider it,” he told the BBC. “I think everyone’s looking at new ways of selling the music because the business of selling records has almost disappeared.

“I’m of the old guard who are really sad about that, because I always liked the concept of the album – rather than just cherry-picking tracks – and also the business of the art work that went with it.”

He added that any new material from Pink Floyd was “very unlikely”.

“We’re all still interested in the catalogue and trying to make the most of it, re-mastering when necessary, and looking at other things that we could do with it,” Mason added.

“I think we’re all still very proud of it – we do talk to each other occasionally.”
