Why is Roger Waters such a jackass?

How many you floyd fans ever remember the RELICS songs? They sound NOTHING like Pink Floyd of later days. Such as.... (See Emily Play).... Can't find a good vid of it though so here is what I found.

They came over here during what was called the British invasion.Except for a very few, All those bands looked and sounded exactly the same at the time.

I was a big fan of John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers

Promised myself last year I was never going to a waters concert.

How do we get away from libs who once were not? I use to love watching (Two And Half Men TV show) I swear Charlie Sheen took my life in his TV show LOL, all but the wealthy rich part, Then I see he is a big lib, and gay at times arrested !!! WTF!!!

I always liked Pink Floyd. But I was always under the impression that they were stoned from about 1970 to today LOL

Their first album is nothing but noise. "The Wall" is still one of the greatest selling albums of all time.

actually, one of the greatest concerts I ever saw was Pink Floyd at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse. We took a Limo there, we were stoned 30 min into the concert and never touched a joint LOL just had to breath

This is nothing but noise. Prog rock is not noise my good sir.

Sounds like a Dead concert I went to in 1980 in Utica. Totally stoned with no active participation. And when those boys were in synch, the music never stopped.

There are a ton of actors/artists/rock stars that I enjoy their performances but wouldn't give 2 cents towards their political views or beliefs. Then again there are a lot of actors/artists/rock stars that I won't give the time of day to because of there political views or beliefs. I happen to be a fan of Pink Floyd before Waters and Gilmore parted ways. Never really liked anything that Gilmore did on his own. Just saying...

The problem comes in when people try to associate an artists expression with their realistic experiences or views!

Psychologist still can't even tell you what music is, or how/why it affects human beings the way it does or how we can create it... You don't see gorillas or any animals banging sticks to a beat, and repeating it, or others join in, etc.

Pink Floyd, Acid Rock... the pinnacle of creative expression taken to an extreme. Drug induced and off the edge. Is it for everyone? Of course not. But for their time, they created something unheard, and never imagined. Powerful music and if you dig deep, powerful statements in the songs. Probably one of, if not the best artistic performances of any "Rock" band through the ages. This is supported by their album sales, Dark Side of the Moon was #1 for how many "YEARS"? When today's hits last weeks if lucky.

I don't listen to or care much for any artist's political views, one great exception I've made has been (was) George Carlin due to his intelligence! But musicians, actors, etc., as the few songs have pointed out; "they want to know what shirts you wear"... is not for everyone, myself included. Usually the weak minds wanting to belong to something attach too much importance to artists, or their views so they can align with them and say they belong!

Amazing artists who found themselves joined and creating music for the masses... That's all it is, and should be. I don't give a shit what they ate for breakfast, what car they drive, where they live, etc. It has no relevance!
