Yeah but even at that, Waters was always a leftwing extremist.

The evil of Brezhnev sending Soviet Troops into Afghanistan and Galtieri invading the Falklands were nothing compared to...Margaret Thatcher Rescuing the Falkland Islanders.

He is an angry clown, and he is less talented then the other members. His concert imagery is schizophrenic and bitter. Negativity taken to the highest levels.

Mr. Waters is a disgusting over the hill doper. He isn't going to stage a concert featuring denunciations of the narco trafficantes or the generally brutal macho culture of Mexico. Reviling our president is a safe activity.

M’kay - never heard them. From what I gather though it’s mainly banging on garbage cans, screaming guitars and weird stuff.

Roger treated Rick Wright like s—t. He was also the one who dumped Syd.

It was Gilmour who took care of Syd financially for the rest of his life, and he brought Rick back into PF and on his solo tours.

I don’t know if I would say that Rodger is worse that the Dixie Chicks, because he is not mocking his own president during wartime.

Rodger has always been completely insane, his politics are utterly f***ed, but I love his/ PF music. Animals is one of my favorites albums of all time, Dogs being my favorite selection from the album.

Far as that backdrop goes, he can be a jackass if he wants, dude’s a performer. I give him a pass that I give most musicians whose music I enjoy.

I used to love music by Pink Floyd. I listened to their work all the time.

Back in 2004, I went to a Roger Waters concert. I was in a large group of 10-15 people, all good friends.

In retrospect, I should have seen what was coming, but...I didn’t.

It turned into a 3 hour political audiovisual tirade against Bush, neocons, conservatives and Israel, with some music mixed in. It looked like Code Pink put together the slide and video shows they had going on.

I didn’t want to ruin the evening for the people I went with, but I was steaming mad. I grit my teeth and sat there. At the end of the “concert”, they released a 40 foot high ballon of a pig with “F*ck Bush” on one side and “Vote Democrat” on the other.

I have been unable to listen to any Pink Floyd music since then. It STILL pisses me off.

PF or Waters, or even Gilmour never really appealed to me. As far as that goes the British Invasion never really appealed to me either. I was into Southern Rock, soul, Rhythm & Blues and all kinds of Jazz.

I am a fan of bands that have members who are the pure filth of the planet. I have been to concerts where the screens have the most fvcked up propaganda behind them. The last two had a prick Brit bad mouth Trump and another showing a Greta video before the headline show of......another prick Brit.

He couldn’t even get through a biography of Syd Barret without spewing his vile hatred of non-libtards. Really, no wonder Syd fried his brains, working with that POS day in and day out.

Indeed. He’s the ultimate limosuine liberal and managed to single-handedly destroy Pink Floyd.

Yep, ask Gilmour what he thought of “The Final Cut”.
