The members of Pink Floyd could probably make a lot of money by selling their music catalog, but David Gilmour thinks it would be a "dream" for reasons other than that. The guitarist opened up about his thoughts in a new interview with Rolling Stone.

“To be rid of the decision-making and the arguments that are involved with keeping it going is my dream,” Gilmour said bluntly. “I am not interested in that from a financial standpoint. I’m only interested in it from getting out of the mud bath that it has been for quite a while.”

The "mud bath" he's referring to most likely involves his tumultuous relationship with former band member Roger Waters. The two have grown apart for decades but things publicly came to a head last year when Gilmour accused Waters of being antisemitic after his wife Polly Samson slammed Waters on Twitter, writing: “Sadly @rogerwaters you are antisemitic to your rotten core. Also a Putin apologist and a lying, thieving, hypocritical, tax-avoiding, lip-synching, misogynistic, sick-with-envy, megalomaniac. Enough of your nonsense.”

Gilmour then quoted her tweet with his approval, writing: “Every word demonstrably true.”

Waters refuted the claims, calling them "incendiary and wildly inaccurate."
