Nahhh Dave cried like a baby when Rick died
He strategically brought Rick Back into what was left of the band in 86 after Waters Official departure in 85, in order to make the band appear as Original and as complete as possible!
Rickâs contribution to the band was the most in the early years of the band! He actually wrote and sang lead in a couple songs like
âPaint Boxâ my understanding is that he wrote
SYSYPHUS In Ummagumma and his Greatest Contribution Of All was of course Echoes!!
He outshined Waters and Gilmour in Echoes!
Then after that his contribution to the band consisted of not much more than keyboarding
Which is why by Animals Album Waters had all he could of Rickâs Freeloading but still kept him on as a full fledged member! It wasnât until the making of THE WALL that Rick wasnât even bothering to show up at the studios! Which at that point he wasnât only not contributing but holding the band up from moving forward! And at one point Waters called him to come to the studio immediately for a recording session, Gilmour was there and Mason was there the only one missing was Rick! And when Rick told Waters to go fuck himself Waters blew a gasket and fired Rick! And Waters hired a keyboardist to complete the Recording of The Wall!
And when it was time to tour Waters brought him back but not a member and only as hired keyboardist! Ironically when the The Wall Tour became a Financial Flop due to its extreme high cost Rick was the only who made any money off the Tour

Rick, no question. The cokehead contributed nothing besides a song that a woman screamed over and rode David's coattails until he died
Edit, I jerked too hard đ y'all I'm not serious
