I was there, I love Dave’s guitar solos on DSOTM, both of them, and on WYWH and on ANIMALS and on THE WALL and on THE FINAL CUT. Now, I don’t know who he thinks he’s quoting when he says Gilmour’s “horrible guitar solos” but it sure as shit ain’t me. When talking about a new recording I have made of DSOTM, he writes, with an unearned condescending authority, about the process of making this new recording, and I quote, “Part of this will involve him removing, as quoted in Spain’s El Pais newspaper, Gilmour’s “horrible guitar solos”. However, there is, in the article, something upon which I need to set the record straight. It’s the usual, shit stirring, ill informed nonsense. There is a crappy article in The New Statesman, written, if you can call it writing, by a chap called Stuart Maconie. #RogerWaters #ComfortablyNumb2022 #IntheFleshLive I can't explain, you would not understand Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying Subscribe to the official Roger Waters YouTube channel: Video produced and directed by Sean Evans.

He has toured extensively as a solo act since 1999 he performed The Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety for his world tour of 2006–2008, and the Wall Live tour of 2010–2013 was the highest-grossing tour by a solo artist at the time.īefore lockdown I had been working on a demo of a new version of ‘Comfortably Numb’ as an opener to our new show "This Is Not A Drill”. Later that year, he reunited with Pink Floyd bandmates Nick Mason, Richard Wright, and David Gilmour for the Live 8 global awareness event, the group's only appearance with Waters since 1981. As a member of Pink Floyd, he was inducted into the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996 and the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005. In 1990, Waters staged one of the largest rock concerts in history, The Wall – Live in Berlin, with an attendance of 450,000. In 2005, he released Ça Ira, an opera translated from Étienne and Nadine Roda-Gils' libretto about the French Revolution. (1987), Amused to Death (1992), and Is This the Life We Really Want? (2017). Waters's solo work includes the studio albums The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking (1984), Radio K.A.O.S. Amid creative differences, Waters left in 1985 and began a legal dispute over the use of the band's name and material. By the early 1980s, they had become one of the most critically acclaimed and commercially successful groups in popular music. Pink Floyd achieved international success with the concept albums The Dark Side of the Moon (1973), Wish You Were Here (1975), Animals (1977), The Wall (1979), and The Final Cut (1983). Waters initially served as the bassist, but following the departure of singer-songwriter Syd Barrett in 1968, he also became their lyricist, co-lead vocalist and conceptual leader until his departure in 1983. In 1965, he co-founded the progressive rock band Pink Floyd. The poor guy IS one of the most important musicians ever in the rock genre (IMO), but he often comes off like a guy who never enjoys the success and wealth that his greatest art brought him.George Roger Waters (born 6 September 1943) is an English musician, singer-songwriter and composer. I honestly think he worries too much about things that are out of his control, and for a control freak like him, it likely just eats away at his insides. It's why he threw the fit over his liner notes not being included in the Animals 5.1, as he wants the current generation and future generations, most of whom will have had no clue who did what in Pink Floyd, to know that Roger "did it all," and his denouncing of current megastars is his way of saying, "Yeah, they are the rave now, but will they still be around when they are the age I am now?" I am sure it bothers him on some level as well that the Pink Floyd brand name is far more valuable than the Roger Waters one, but things happen how they happen. I am sure this post will get lost within the mix of arguing about what a jerk Roger is and what will happened in the future, but my honest feeling is that Roger is really focused on his legacy going forward.
