So what would happen if we'd put Roger Waters and Jaz Coleman in a room?

One of the main reasons why Gilmour is favourably compared to Waters is because the material created by Gilmour/Wright/Mason version of Pink Floyd was considerably better than Roger Waters' solo stuff. Waters was a major part of Floyd, and is certainly the main reason why The Wall is an incredible album, but without the assistance of Gilmour, Wright and Mason, he has produced hardly anything worth hearing. Post-Waters Pink Floyd isn't perfect, but I'd rather listen to A Momentary Lapse of Reason over any of Roger Waters' solo album. I haven't heard a great deal of Gilmour's solo stuff but 'There's No Way Out Of Here' is an amazing tune that Floyd would have done well.
 
Since neither of them have been at their peak since the split, I maintain they complimented each other fantastically in Pink Floyd (something which Waters' giant ego didn't allow him to admit when he was busy trying to turn Floyd into his personal backing band).

LOL.......I don't think so.....Roger Waters IS Pink Floyd (except for the exception of Roger "Syd" Barrett, but since he is dead, Roger Waters holds the only title), and he would jump at 100 million dollars, based on my reading about him, and playing armchair shrink with his psyche.  To me, this sounds like he has some probable feelings of concern over his own relevancy and mortality these days...thanatos won't be stopped.  Sorry for the psychoanalytic buzzkill....just never understand why peeps compare Gilmour (though an outstanding guitarist, particularly on the "Animals" album cut "Dogs"......his shining moment) 

to Waters.  That's like comparing Bonzo to John Paul Jones in Zep.
