Roger Waters - Answering fan questions - Interjecting opinions 

Second that

Yep, I submitted my question whether we will ever get those Wall live films in HD

Third that

We need this right now Rog 🗿

He just wants 100% of the royalties as he still thinks that he's the musical genius that made pink Floyd even though it was the sum of all parts.

I don't think Dave acknowledges Roger, he called him "ten a penny" for being a replaceable bass player, ignoring the fact he wrote the songs and lyrics. I don't think Roger ever criticised his work

​@@ravingdroolingGoogle is your friend. "With all due respect to the people who went out and bought those records, they are just rubbish. Particularly The Division Bell; it's just nonsense from beginning to end. A Momentary Lapse of Reason had a couple of really nice tunes on it that, had I still been in the band, those chord sequences and melodies would have been made it onto a record that I was involved in. But conceptually and lyrically, it's just rubbish, partly because it's not true. It's like, "Let's try and write songs that sound as if they're Pink Floyd and make records that sound like Pink Floyd records." Roger Waters

​@@ravingdroolingPF albums after Final Cut are ten a penny in the flea market bin.

​@@randomlyrancannabis7020Disagree. Momentary Lapse and Division Bell are a million times the quality of The Final Cut and any of Waters solo work. Better than Gilmour's solo efforts, too. Truthfully, their best work as artists all came when they were working together with at least some degree of proper cohesion - from The Wall backwards.

@@ravingdrooling Neither does Roger, 'what's his name behind me playing Donkey Kong, telling me how crap it was'.

Well said. I hope that Roger can extend peace in his personal life in the same way he does for the rest of the world.

😂 but honestly they don't like each other without any reason

@@KIAvASH_K it seams that Waters and Gilmour f*cking hate each other. The problem is bad communication and ego. That's why Nick created his band

I don't think they fight so much, at least no more than they used to. Keep in mind their mode of working together was largely....fighting. Same with Genesis. Without that, the music would be, well, Radio KAOS and AMused to Death to my mind are songs SO far beyond Pink Floyd lyrically, but musically, they mostly sound like anything else. Meanwhile musically Pink Floyd went on, and were the opposite. Both are grown men used to getting their own way, and now we have the internet to see it all. Likely MOST of the time with Pink Floyd was no different than how it is now. But as for getting along, just when they agreed to Live 8, I remember an interview where Roger said he wanted to rejoin Pink Floyd and basically make it his political machine. Quite rightfully Dave Gilmour said 'yeah, thats not happening'. Ironically NOW that he's left, he might as well just hand over the name to Roger. But the website thing was Roger bitching his stuff wasn't on there. I kind of think Roger has plenty of money. And from Daves perspective, letting Roger in the front door means dealing with Roger on a permanent basis.

Roger doesn't like war. So...

Yes, Guitar World published an article on 6 March 2015 where you can read this: “I banged out five or six solos,” Gilmour says. “From there I just followed my usual procedure, which is to listen back to each solo and make a chart, noting which bits are good. Then, by following the chart, I create one great composite solo by whipping one fader up, then another fader, jumping from phrase to phrase until everything flows together. That’s the way we did it on ‘Comfortably Numb." In fact I don't know why Roger bothers to report Bob Ezrin's version of the story.

A solo that's composed is not really a solo.

In fact, I don't know why Ezrin is telling such mumpitz. @@rockista4195

@@randomlyrancannabis7020Hmm, a solo is a single instrument taking the lead; the tune; the melody, whatever you wish to call it. There have been solo passages in classical music for centuries, both composed and improvised. I think to say it’s not a solo because it was thought about before playing it is a bit short-sighted. It’s music, and surely you take whatever approach to ensure the result is the best music you can make and that you’re happiest with

@@rockista4195 As far as I can tell, even Roger at his happiest, commands a space so dark none of us would be able to see in there, we'd perish in moments, consumed by his overwhelming desire to be recognised by the universe as being the best; No 1. Pink!

He's not intrested Goofy Roger 😂Daves his Boss 😂😂

Deve tutto a Gilmour!

He only likes leftist politicians.. he's delusional

HIs point is that Bob Ezrin has been lying about it. Dave admits it, and frankly it DOES sound 'magical' to say it was all one take as if divine inspiration came down, but thats that musical reality very often. I wouldn't call them masterpieces, some are better than others, some are meh. The whole 'masterpieces' and 'genius' thing is thrown around rock and roll way too often. IMHO, obviously thats not yours.

I'd buy an album comprising all of those takes!

you miss the point often in life martin?

@@iaincook5835 A lot of them are on his solo album. The fact almost nobody knows that explains why his solo albums did as poorly as they did.

@@Frip36 Exactly. He doesn't seem to mind that Ezrin is rewriting history, and has an issue with Roger setting it straight. He's a propagandists' wet dream.

what David means with "songwriting"? Music or lyrics?

@@HM-2011 yes I know, but what meant Gilmour?

When did Gilmour say that?

Heard it in a YT interview a while back. It wasn't very recent. @@dixienormous2440

Guess it's time for a reunion, Roger's lyrical genius with Dave's guitar solos, once more. 😁😁

Although I'm pretty sure Dave had the final say on which bits of his playing ended up on the records and how to the solos were constructed.

What Roger has described here is pretty much how solo composition in studio works. You can see Roger producing David's solos in the Live at Pompeii documentary footage, and see that like most musicians, David is trying out ideas, seeing what works, and asking everyone "was that alright?", or if I remember correctly "what did I do right?".

Possible pasts

Agreed!

The greatest band ever not named The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, or The Doors!

​@@edwardlagrossa1246rolling stones 💀 hell nah pink Floyd is much better

You can see the youtube where he did have SOME lyrics to the early CN, pretty good ones too. Not as good as CN obviously.

Yes some of the work/music gets the praise completely on the artists, when its the magic of the engineers and producers who are the artists as well

​@@kevinohara2618Exactly. Much of the magic of DSOTM is actually Alan Parsons .

It's probably more a matter of selecting the phrases they liked the best. Editing like that can't be heard if done properly.

I believe it is in terms of composition rather than recording, they might have chosen the parts and then David blended to make a whole piece and then record in various takes where the first one was the chosen.

Let's face it. The news shattered your world.

Grazie lo dovrebbe dire Roger a David!

"Sculpting my identity, and fashion choices." dude....

Waters is talking about ezrin saying it was done in one take

@@kevinohara2618 the question is who cares what ezrin says since we have Gilmour already on record...

Grazie a GILMOUR?

That will be your dying breath:) YOu CAN at least watch them on youtube singing 'to know him is to love him' at a Palestine benefit concert that Dave asked Roger in on. YOu can see the interview where Roger talks aobut it too, its quite interesting, and in return Dave agreed to do comfortably numb at one of rogers london shows.

Dude - they still ACTIVELY hate each other. Their partners were beefing on Twitter a few weeks ago. It's over. Not gonna happen. Maybe the Police would reunite one last time but not Floyd. And it sucks - those two are amazing together. The hate and cattiness must have made their music even better :(

after Roger....!

I think that I know what you're talking about. A cool guy created a thread in some Pink Floyd's forums in which he compiled all the good things that Roger and David talked about each other through the years. As you can imagine, few people gave attention to it.

@@RCSouza-nv2tp That's exactly it! Although it did do very well on a few other sites, including a Pink Floyd one, but some "fans" suddenly think Roger just started talking about politics 20 minutes ago, and sabotage anything that could complement Roger. It starts with an insult so that the moderators can shut it down.

Sadly one will die without reconnecting & that would be sad but hey only musicians with egos bigger than most people

I don't think thats true at all. Roger TALKS about connections but clearly can't sustain them. The greatness of an artist is the art they create, end of story. After the art is created the artist is as irrelevant as anybody.

@user-jp5nc8zf7m You are way ahead of me intelligence-wise I'm thick as! You may be right ✅️ I'm talking about David & Roger re-connecting as Rick Nick & Roger were up for more shows after Live 8 but David I feel been lazy & fans missed out as I've been lucky to have good contacts I've seen every tour since lapse & all sob shows mostly in London & Kudos to Roger still performing at his age! Regards 🍀✌️👍

@@user-jp5nc8zf7m I understand your perspective, but I believe Roger Waters is unquestionably a great artist. His ability to connect with his audience through his music and live performances is undeniable. Moreover, his contribution to the world of music with Pink Floyd and his solo work has left a lasting mark on the history of music. The greatness of an artist is not limited solely to the creation of art but also to their ability to influence and touch people in deep and meaningful ways, and Roger Waters has accomplished this outstandingly. But that's my humble opinion as a fan of Roger. With all due respect to the views of others

I fall in love with country music since I heard his songs, sorry for invading your privacy, am Kate Merez. where are you from?

Merito di GILMOUR ?

They'll never be on the same side again because Dave is a brainwashed tool of the Establishment.

"even Roger" Roger doesn't want to argue with them because he likes them. No need to put a nasty spin on that.

@@JosephScott-ct9sw Easy, snowflake. Only a joke. No need to get all pissy.

Either that or he had multiple takes of a roughly similar solo and they edited together the best parts of these similar takes.

Alrighty then Goofy Roger 🤪 Sure I've seen David play this solo effortles unlike you Goofy who needed Dave to perform bass 🔊 that you couldn't play 🤣 How's them APPLES 🍏🍎

​@@Sean1970_EdenderryGilmour playing this solo is mess. I prefer Roger's band doing that, like in Us&Them tour

@sean_1970 Mental health departments around America are overworked but I can assure you they can squeeze you in wherever you're at. This kind of failed attempt at abuse screams mental illness. Get a grip, you're not an artist.

@Lemopalm they probably did that as well. That is exactly how Eddie Van Halen come up with his lead riffs. He would play a lot of different solos and pick the best pieces of all of them.

I fall in love with country music since I heard his songs, sorry for invading your privacy, am Kate Merez. where are you from?

My opinion as well.

Pink Floyd is a corporate entity, in fact right now you can participate in contributing animation to their new release of Dark Side. Roger should do the same for his, maybe throw in a prize. Pink Floyds 'prize' is that your artwork will be taken by them and monetized and you get to enjoy seeing them spend the money.

"his very unique lyrics" Roger wrote about 70% of the music for '70s Floyd.

@@JosephScott-ct9sw I don't think so. You can hear the demos for several songs and they are barely even melodic. Many times its just a strumming. So thats not really 'writing music'. He DID write the music for his opera and his solo stuff, except for exceptions.

What nonsense. This is really writing music. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BN2h_mxojVk.html

@@lonewolf8667 I know, sad?!! Yes! True?! Yes! That is the reason I'm telling him. Cause I love him and I 🤞 🤞 🤞 the best for him. But that is his choice now. True?! Yes!!! Yes Sir Mr Sir, affirmative Sir!!! 🫡

Not unkind at all, Polly's a lot nastier and witless than that.

It's easy to settle the beef when you've won. PF is and was nothing after final cut sans a few one offs, made in the very style RW created. DG is great but RW is PF.

@@randomlyrancannabis7020 yeah having been a fan for a good 6 years and seeing both sides I can't agree more

​​@@randomlyrancannabis7020I'm sorry but I don't think Waters won anything. Gilmour and Mason won the case against Waters, made an album in 1987, and had a very successful tour in 1988. In that same year Waters had to cancel his shows because no one went to see him and at the same time Pink Floyd was sold out all over the world. Waters himself said that he and Pink Floyd played a concert on the same day in the same city, Waters played in front of 4000 people and Pink Floyd played in front of 70,000 people. After that year Waters never toured again until 2013 if I'm not mistaken, because the concerts of his solo albums were not successful and in 2013 he revived the wall. In '94 they released The Division Bell which is the only Pink Floyd album to achieve the success of Wish You Were Here and Dark Side of the Moon and they did the biggest tour in Pink Floyd's history (Pulse). I understand that you don't like the albums after Waters, but the others won in every way, which is why Waters is still very angry and resentful when he talks about pink floyd. He can't stand that they were successful without him and he can't stand that their albums beat all of his solo albums. I don't understand why you say he "settle the beef", less than two months ago he did an interview in which he insulted Gilmour and Rick for no reason and in a very aggressive way.

An the audience always wanted to hear the old stuff what Roger wrote Dave would reply its coming if gilmour an mason went out without the name Pink Floyd you they would of sold out there concerts

@@Simone77777Your comment won't age well over the years, watch and see. Like a bad bottle of wine, turned sour!

I mean lots of topics in the comments.
