PINK FLOYD'S ROGER WATERS: "I DID, I DID THINK THAT WAS WRONG, AND I WAS WRONG!"

Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters said he regrets taking legal action against his former band mates while revealing that he plans to release a new solo album.  Is that an honest statement or good PR?!  You be the judge. I mean he was a bit of a douche for suing his buds, but at least he's fessing up. 

Waters left Pink Floyd in 1985 and subsequently pursued former bandmates Nick Mason and David Gilmour through the courts for their continued use of the Pink Floyd name and material. Now, in a new interview set to be broadcast on BBC tomorrow night (September 19) Water says he was wrong and that he regrets the decisions he made.

"I did, I did think that was wrong, and I was wrong!" Waters tells host Stephen Sackur. "Of course I was. Who cares? It was a commercial decision and in fact it’s one of the few times that the legal profession has taught me something. Because when I went to these chaps and said 'listen we’re broke, this isn’t Pink Floyd anymore', they went 'what do you mean? That’s irrelevant, it is a label and it has commercial value, you can't say it’s going to cease to exist, you obviously haven’t looked back to Runnymede, you obviously don’t understand English jurisprudence…It’s not about what you think, it’s about…it’s what it is'.”

Meanwhile, Waters also revealed he plans to release a new solo album, his first since 'Ça Ira' in 2005. "I’ve had a few breakthroughs recently which I won’t talk about, but I am going to make another record. I’ve had a very very strong idea, and I shall pursue it, and I will make at least one more record and I am really looking forward to getting my teeth stuck into it.
