Roger Waters self indulgent twat / not self indulgent twat

[Magnus McGinty]

he says socialism is great, so at least kinda, in theory.

I think Gilmore gave one of his luxurious properties away to a homeless charity. Not sure Waters has. Or if so it was done on the quiet.

He did and he also auctioned one of his prized strats off for fuck tons of money and gave it all to charity iirc

Waters has been married five times which kind of suggests he’s a bit of a struggle to be around.

Must try listening to his solo stuff.

Last time I saw Floyd I probably took a few spliffs in and nothing else was needed. Maybe cost around £30 a ticket as well

I saw them at Wembley in the 80s - brilliant gig but still in the age when no one bothered searching you for stuff at gigs . I’d scored several tabs of acid and an ounce of hash earlier in the day for our coach party. A splendid time was had by all and then some (Ticket was £15)

It’s kind of shit. But I did listen to The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking again recently and it became an ear worm for months.

They’re built for hallucinogenics.

Really don’t get what people hear in Pink Floyd. It’s just turgid pompous adolescent nonsense to me.

I grew up with them so maybe that’s a big part of it. They’re a band that went through several distinct phases and it’s a bit like Beatles fans who are split between the “She Loves You” era and the experimental years. I love experimental music and where that goes. After DSOTM they got a bit predictable (with flashes of genius) but my favourite era is the space between Syd Barrett leaving and superstardom where they did all manner of freaky experimental stuff. Personal taste though
I completely understand why people don’t get it though - in much the same way I don’t get much dance music. Different drugs and social scenes will play a part here.

You misspelt The Smiths.

I'd like to see him do an album with Philip Schofield.

A very emotional night. Possibly the last time we will see an artist like that perform...

A couple of the very early tracks are good.

I'll say it again. The first album with Syd Barrett at the helm is pure class. A majestic gem, totally unique and considered by some to be the only Pink Floyd album worth listening to.

Piper is good but I think people get a bit fixated on the “tragic acid casualty” part and ignore its weak parts (E.g. “The Gnome” is twee bollocks). There’s lots to enjoy afterwards especially Rick Wright’s contributions which tend to get a bit overlooked (E.g. “Paintbox”, “Summer 68”, etc.) or their film soundtracks (“More”, “Zabriskie Point”, “La Vallee”)

Don't you fucking hate the 02. It's soulless, Mrs tag had her small bag taken away. I had a bottle of water confiscated. Could not get much info beforehand. Walked miles for our seats and now been charged over £30 for 2 glasses of wine. What the fuck.

Forget about Palestine. Now there's something to write a song about.

Imagine having the moral compass that made it a good idea to give money to someone that gave a speech to the UN after being invited by Russia.
