Hetfield is a talentless low IQ prick

Serious question. Is “Run like hell” the most uptempo and rocking song in the entire PF discography? I can listen to that and Another Brick in the Wall but man, most of their songs are the equivalent of watching paint dry.

No, it's Sheep

'ate into his brain'

At this point I assume Roger Waters is just trolling.

I seriously doubt it. He's just a douche.

Where are the protestors when Lars commits tempo and meter genocide every night?

I hate that damn album. I'd rather listen to DLR's vocal solo'ed than hear another pink floyd tune.

That is harsh
In both directions
We all know you don't care for either
But if I have to hear you complain about it again, I'M going to commit suicide

If by "a big part" you mean he was one of the 4-5 guys that were there - sure

If you mean he was in any way a big musical contributor, please refer to the fact that he literally didn't even record most of his bass parts

But he wrote most of the songs. There's also something to be said about having a driving personality in a band. Without Waters' focus, the other three guys would have been aimlessly jamming, which would have sounded great but not reached the artistic heights that Floyd did.

And I'll also say that Waters vocals are a key element. Nowhere near the pure singer that Gilmour is, but he could deliver with emotion and provided a contrast to Gilmour that added a lot.

 

[Shevek]

Anyway. I love both of these bands but clearly Waters is in the wrong here.

It'd be different if you had to go to gigs and to work and all your bandmates and co-workers were saying the same thing as I am. They are like the Beatles for the early gen-X crowd. A substitute christ for morons. I hate the Beatles too. Yuck.

 

[Floyd Eye]

He wrote the lyrics, which isn't the same thing as writing the songs - the band and producer did like 90% of the music on "rogers songs"

And it's interesting how this gets conflated, especially with people like Roger who are basically complete hacks but lucked into fame somehow

No dude. Roger wrote most of the music too. He had help arranging it but he wrote it. He didn’t write the solos or the basslines but he wrote the melody and chord arrangements. Look at San tropez. Another great Roger Waters song.

You can give him credit for writing the lyrics and melody, certainly, but that only how the royalties get distributed, not how it actually works in a band room

The proof is in the pudding honestly - pink floyd went on to write a bunch of well-received music after Roger, and Roger has written exactly jack shit, and still to this day performs old pink floyd music and re-releases and re-imagines pink floyd albums. That's amazing that he can apparently only "write" these transcendent melodies and lyrics when he's in the band, and then it completely disappears when he leaves! What a strange coincidence.

Well I made it to about 50 seconds.

Not many people know that it was actually Waters who played on the AJFA. Now he's just decided to listen to it.

Someone was asking Roger about what it's like without Gilmour there, at the time he had Dave Kilminster in the band. He says it's great having Dave in the band cuz I can hear all the guitar parts perfectly, flawlessly and I don't have to hear anything from David.

Granted the Pink Floyd band with all of the members in it had a magic about it that wasn't entirely Roger, sure it was around 90% but David's fantastic guitar playing and tone, and beautiful completely different sounding voice made that other 10% pretty special. The keyboard player he was kind of restricted for some reason, he was heavily influenced by Syd Barrett he loved him, he loved his style, he loved his approach to everything really and when he's unleashed she can play some wild stuff but Roger kept him in check.

Roger would come up with the ideas behind the parts and this guy would play 'em that's it. Nick Mason, the drummer, well he was just there, probably could have been anybody.

Personally I don't think they are at their best when they are trying to do up-tempo rockers. I am a big PF hater (especially dark side of the moon and the wall) but I genuinely like some of the later stuff, especially "on the turning away"



Even though it's a little derivative of classic celtic folk, it's very beautifully written and performed, and far less obnoxious than the 70s shit

Wow, crazy that Roger has so much transcendent genius and hasn't written any music of any fucking significance whatsoever in 45 years.

Dude literally three years ago he redid DSOTM as spoken word bullshit

Yeah sounds like a guy with a ton of transcendent musical ideas that he just can't contain it

And One Slip

Did you listen to Sheep?
I'd like to know what you thought I remember first hearing it properly it was in Kmarts back when the album was released. So...1977.
They had a reel-to-reel tape machine there, pretty decent sound equipment and you could turn it up a bit and I just sat there in front of those speakers about 2 ft away, listening to that and the rest of Animals. That was the only one that had on the tape machine.
I was mesmerized then and still am really, talking to you about it I listened to it this morning, it sounded fucking brilliant. Thicker now than I remember it back then, that tape machine and the speakers imparted kind of more of a high-end thing not so much the mids and the lows.

 

[SFW]

Imagine being mad that an artist doesn't want to beat you over the head with their political views while attending their concert. lol. We live in a mad world.

Dude, he has worldwide acclaim. He has a fan base across the globe and in the states. He puts a show up and people are there sold out like every time so... I don't know dude, you're way off mark. It's astonishing really

Dude he has worldwide acclaim and blah blah blah because he was in Pink Floyd.
