Când ești toboșarul uneia dintre cele mai de succes trupe comerciale și celei mai influente din punct de vedere muzical din toate timpurile, nu trebuie neapărat să dai interviuri. Și asta e păcat, mai ales când ești mișto.

Toboșarul Nick Mason vorbește despre viitorul Pink Floyd, odată ce colegul său de trupă, David Gilmour, insistă că cel mai recent album al trupei, „The Endless River”, va fi ultimul.

If David resigns, that leaves me in total control of Pink Floyd. I’ll go out on the road and play the entirety of The Dark Side of the Moon, just the drum parts. It’ll be quite dull. Please know that I’m joking.

I now believe when I’m dead and buried my tombstone will read, „I’m not entirely sure the band’s over”.

Fact: Solistul Jamiroquai, Jay Kay și Nick Mason sărbătoresc într-un weekend din mai după ce au terminat cursa Mille Miglia 2010 din Italia, cursă cu 375 de mașini clasice parcurgând 1.000 de mile (1.600 de kilometri) într-o călătorie către Roma.

I have about 40 cars, of which 25 to 30 are what you might call serious.

Toboșarul Pink Floyd insită că trupa a căzut de acord cel puțin o dată în existența sa.

I’m a big admirer of Pete Townshend. In fact it was one of those rare times when the whole of Floyd agreed on something when we all said we wanted Pete to induct us into the (UK Music) Hall Of Fame.

Nick Mason – volumul „Inside Out: A Personal History of Pink Floyd”

Within a couple of years, I had gravitated towards a group of friends from the neighbourhood who had also discovered rock ’n’ roll, and it seemed an excellent idea to put a band together. The fact that none of us knew how to play was only a minor setback, since we didn’t have any instruments.

Rick played trumpet as a schoolboy, and always maintained that he played the piano before he could walk… but would then add that he didn’t walk until he was ten.

We were becoming increasingly conscious of crowd control, security and safety. With up to 80,000 people swilling around it’s like being elected mayor of a small town for the night, with all the attendant responsibilities including car crashes, petty theft, children being born… There’s even some live music if you’re lucky.
