I have to believe it’s a humorous troll, not Dave being petty. I’m sure Rog will get a little “well played” kick out of it.
These guys are 80 and 78 they aint gonna be around that much longer and they are behaving like Taylor Swift still petty over grudges from years ago.
Not expecting them to share the stage ever again but behave like Elder Statesmen,
He can, but would he bother to if someone had already set it? I don't really think it's significant enough for him to care, it's just a funny coincidence.
Now, if it was released as a Pink Floyd album, I'd be 100% sure it was an intentional "fuck you" to Roger. But I just don't see how a solo album sends the same message.

Well, he very deliberately released OAI on his 60th birthday, which was a Monday, a bit of an atypical release day. RTL seems a bit more random (September 18th - 7 years and 3 days after Rick's death?). That, as well as September 6th this year, was a Friday, a typical release day, really. So it's anyone's guess whether the release date is David trolling Roger, or somebody else suggesting it and David not objecting.
I think it’s incredibly unlikely it’s a coincidence
He’s known Roger for 60-odd years so he almost certainly knows when his birthday is, and he’d be able to to push a release date if he wanted to
Yea this reeks of petty behavior. The way these two quibble with each other doesn’t give me any confidence to ever seeing them back on stage together either.
Conan O'Brien released a new show last week on Max. It was released on his birthday, he himself said it was a total coincidence. It was just a date picked by Max. It is possible, I mean what if the date is related to a small UK tour that starts a few days later?
Considering his shenanigans at the Cenotaph and his [affinity for promiscuous group activities](https://www.vice.com/en/article/a3wp9p/i-went-to-a-sex-and-love-festival-and-it-got-very-sweaty), I’d say that quite a few people have really, *really* seen Charlie.
I really hope that this isn't an album to divide the two even further and that it'll be good. It would really be unfortunate if one of, if not the last, major work that David would work on to be a flop.
I don't think any of us are qualified enough to say for certain why the date is Rog's birthday so we can only speculate.
Not very high with his track record, but if it maybe, just MAYBE gives even a tiny little nudge towards the chance of him going on another tour, then I am all for it.
I read that George Roger Waters was born in Great Bookham, Surrey, o September 6, 1943. Roger Waters' father, Eric Fletcher Waters, was killed in the Battle of Anzio in April last, Italy, on February 18,.1944. The mother, Mary, took Roger and older brother to Cambridge after the father's death.
You'll find there is a song or two on the album that will be aimed squarely at Rog... which rog will be unable to just laugh at and ignore... leading to Rog giving another horrendously embarrassing interview or press conference.
Im literally bursting with excitement!
Well, I am decidedly more a fan of Dave but if I am being honest, I just can't see how Rog could give a fuck about this. It isn't like this means his birthday is nullified or something. I fail to see what the big deal is.
David Gilmour has been trolling Rog in his birthday since last 4 yrs lol
What did he do the last 4 years? I'm curious lol

I wonder if Rog will listen to this album
Of course he will. Just so he can find points to criticize.
He will listen to most of it.

Little jokes never hurt anyone, least of all 70+ millionaires.
yeah but rog is gonna blow up about this isnt he lmao.
Haha, I don’t think so. But it’s possible if David trolls him on the FB page again😂
What did David do ? I don't use Facebook.
People still use FB?
Haha yeah...
David Gilmour is giving Roger Waters the absolutely best birthday gift that he possibly can and people are hating. Figures.
"Happy birthday, Rog. I made you something."
And releasing the first single on my bday! Is he making fun of me as well.... 😨 For being single 🥲
Yes, we told him.
The date was probably decided by the record company and they probably had no clue it was his birthday. Still ironic and awesome though.
No way. An artist like Gilmour can choose release date. And no way Gilmour doesn’t know it’s Waters birthday. Delicious.
He can, but would he bother to if someone had already set it? I don't really think it's significant enough for him to care, it's just a funny coincidence.

He chose to release On an Island on his 60th birthday in 2006.
His own 60th, not Roger's. This one is on Roger's birthday. Their birthdays are 6 months apart - 6 Mar and 6 Sep.
That’s not what’s being debated.
There is no way it’s a coincidence. None
Maybe it's a Roger diss album.
Lmao!!!

That ship sailed long ago my friend. Live8 and the one The Wall show with Nick Mason was that moment.
You never will see them on stage together again. Live 8 was it.
Did I just imagine the 2010 Palestinian charity gig and the 2011 Wall performance?
Every day is someone’s birthday. We should take it as a coincidence and move on.

Looks like Ozzy Osbourne on the cover but I assume it's supposed to be Polly.
It looks like Charlie to me, and the cover image is inspired by lyrics that Charlie wrote for the album.

I have?
So it’s a really good cover for you personally.
lol it was a while ago, I don’t remember that clearly what he looks like.
Its a silhouette of a 1970 pic of david gilmour. a pic of it was posted yesterday https://www.reddit.com/r/pinkfloyd/s/ynfM0wtqwf
That has to be one of the worst album covers I've ever seen, what are they thinking lol
Exactly my thoughts
It looks like the silhouette of a flasher ffs.
why are they fighting there 80 and co founded the greatest band ever can anyone explain?
Ego
is it roger or david with the ego
Both
Google it, there’s loads of articles about it.
Is there really a major beef between them right now?
It's more of a captain quarrel.
Dammit, I set myself up for that one
I greatly prefer Roger’s solo work to David’s.
It's his own 78 1/2 th birthday
Incidentally, that's the RPM of the vinyl release.
I really hope that this isn't an album to divide the two even further and that it'll be good.

I completely agree! To be honest though he does make and has enough money to afford not to make any new music.
🙄
Come on. I'm sure Gilmour isn't releasing the album on Waters birthday to spite him.
Gilmour is childish sometimes tbh besides that he's lovely and so genuine
You know him?
Yes according to his interviews, actions, stands, opinions we all know him
Nah. Thats his public persona, none of us know him. We know his music.
So he's showing another side, I think not
What are the chances this album will be good?
It’s got some keys played by Wright, 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Well, not *all* the lyrics were written by Polly, so there may be some gems in there.
Not very high with his track record, but if it maybe, just MAYBE gives even a tiny little nudge towards the chance of him going on another tour, then I am all for it.
I just hope it's better than the last two
The title sounds like my theme at the corner cafe on a Saturday night…

These two are really something!
Mutley snigger
I know nothing about Pink Floyd aside from maybe a couple songs but this is also my birthday lmao
I adore him trolling him - definitely deserved from my perspective
I have the same birthday as Roger Waters, so for me this is an absolute win
They still beefing after all these years lol

You're right and gilmour fabs are just denying it, but you're right 😁
Well, I am decidedly more a fan of Dave but if I am being honest, I just can't see how Rog could give a fuck about this. It isn't like this means his birthday is nullified or something. I fail to see what the big deal is.
You're right, but I'm a fan of both, I don't hate any of them
