We have had the best of both worlds for a long time.<br /><br />Roger Waters was the main lyricist and a force of the band and Gilmour, Wright and Mason were the sound of Pink Floyd!! Let’s not forget it was Roger’s decision to leave the band publicly in 1985 and Gilmour and Mason decided to continue with the band,there is no doubt that Roger’s lyrics and played a role in the band's success from Meddle to The Wall, but the input from Gilmour, Mason and Wright were just as important, granted Wright did not contribute much on Animals or The Wall. The combination of all 4 members WERE the sound of Pink Floyd. Sure The Final Cut was a Water’s solo album, sure A Momentary Lapse Of Reason was a Gilmour solo album, but we should be glad to have them both! <br /><br />I say this to you all, be thankful of the body of work created by the band over the last 50 years. I am eternally grateful to Syd Barrett, Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Richard Wright & Nick Mason with providing me with the best music which has been with me through my life’s journey and all the memories of Floyd concerts and solo tours over the years.<br /><br />But 4:36, your conclusory remarks are disappointing. Without Gilmour, Wright and Mason, there is "NO PINK FLOYD". Roger cannot carry that on his shoulders no matter how great a writer he was. Without Gilmore, Wright and Mason, Waters is another Bob Dylan. Fact is, Gilmour and Wright made Pink Floyd sound like Pink Floyd. Everything Roger did alone, after the Wall sounded like a great band trying to sound like Pink Floyd. But it still feels like a cover band. Roger is not Mr.Pink Floyd by himself alone. <br /><br />A good idea in itself isn’t enough to create good music. Music is, after all, about music. Not words or creative ideas in itself. And that's the direction, a Waters dominant Floyd, was heading. Dark, bleak and depressive.The truth is, a lot of other people in and around the band had a lot more influence on these records, than Waters wants us to believe. Bob Ezrin had a lot of creative input on the Wall. Gilmour and Wright shaped the tunes. Together they added texture and extended musical pieces to make it fit together as a whole piece.<br /><br />And as Gilmour so eloquently put it “Roger never had any success with anything he had full creative control over” Super Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17259048078423520826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-57826736389096402392019-02-04T16:36:38.832-06:002019-02-04T16:36:38.832-06:002:05, you ignorant slut.

There is no Pink Floyd without the genius of Roger Waters. <br /><br />Gee, he's only an original member and over 20 years developed the album concepts, wrote the vast majority of the lyrics, and a large share of the music. He is not a glorified cover artist. It's his work. <br /><br />Since you seem to be confused, one more clarification - The Wall isn't a feelgood diddy about a barrier on America's southern border. <br /><br />BTW, the show at Sprint Center had lots of classic material and was awesome.

Waters isn't a member of Pink Floyd and hasn't been for years he left the group. He is allowed to play the songs as about anyone else can and many tribute bands do but it does not make him PinK Floyd. Waters left Pink Floyd in 1985 and fought a lawsuit over the band’s name with the rest of the group, which he lost. Waters is a jerk as one can see and many went to this local show hoping to hear some good Floyd stuff not some political crap from a jerk who isn't even an American citizen. The prick is here on a visa. Thankfully he has to pay butt loads of taxes.

However, I have to wonder if Stupor Dave was one of the handful of Trump supporters that walked out of Roger Waters show at Sprint Center in 2017.<br /><br />"During the Pink Floyd member’s performance of “Pigs (Three Different Ones)”, things took a pointedly political turn as Waters took Donald Trump to task.<br /><br />Screens arranged to look like the factory on the Animals cover were lowered above the crowd as they displayed emasculating, mocking images of 45. The photoshopped pictures depicted the sitting POTUS in brightly colored lipstick, a Ku Klux Klan hood, as an actual pig, and wearing a dress. At one point, the dress was removed to reveal a tiny, almost hidden penis. Nearly every time the band called out the line, “Charade! Charade!”, an image of Trump was shown with the word plastered over his face. There was even an inflatable pig drone that flew around the arena with the words “Welcome to the Machine” next to an image of an enraged Trump shouting, “I won!”<br /><br />As the 11-minuted song closed out, all the screens went black and began displaying some of Trump’s most infamous quotes. Things like, “This is more work than in my previous life. I thought it would be easier,” and, “You know, it really doesn’t matter what the media write as long as you’ve got a young, and beautiful piece of ass,” were shown in succession before the entire darkened stadium was lit up with one, bright-white message: “Fuck Trump.”Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-52146017329042123992019-02-03T23:38:12.088-06:002019-02-03T23:38:12.088-06:00Remember Pink Floyd playing in Berlin after the wa...Remember Pink Floyd playing in Berlin after the wall fell down.
