Roger Waters Wacked

Well, there were tensions between the two Garden Wall members (Tony & Peter), but this was dating pre-Lamb. I read that Tony was really not happy with Peter coming out with the red dress and foxhead (he said it was not concerted with others), while the previous old'man mask (Musical box), the weird angular shape and batwings hadn't ruffled a feather. I guess that never camed down (I read Banks as a very stubborn man, and a control freak). And if reports that Gabe did come in one night and put that anazing slew of lyrics on Epping Forest are even remotely true (this sounds like total fantasy to me), this could be another stepping stone in the feud.

Yes, Tony certainly felt Peter was getting too much attention and probably fely he was taking it purposely (as opposed to thinking that it's normal that the press speaks about the frontman).

No such thing about Floyd, that was often called in the press the "faceless band"

Uh!!....

Peter was leaving the band in his head before the end of the recording the album, he announced mid-tour he was leaving, returned for a while after being busy on a William Friedkin project, then finally left for good.

Sounds very like most fundamentalist religionists to me...they definately don't want children asking awkward questions...and most don't want girls to be educated at all...surely the wall missed the zeitgeist completely?

you sir, are trolling around

unless an idiot (and I don't believe you're one, but yoyu're playing one), there is no possible way you could misunderstand what Waters meant in that song, and opt for the exact opposite of what he meant...

Just look at the video of the film and you shall understand that he hated the way of the old school was enforced on kids. 

 

Gee, that was rejuvenating. I feel like it is 1995 again and I'm in high school  arguing with my friend. With whom we stayed friends all that time. 

What are we discussing is mainly history. Did Roger sue his colleagues and lost? Yes, he did. Thirty five years ago. Did David carry the torch since? Yes, he did. Pink Floyd recorded two not-as-good-as-the-old-ones albums and ceased to record and tour in 1995. Twenty five years ago. Did they rejoin for one act? Yes, they did so in 2005. Fifteen years ago. Was the Reunion of the band possible (regardless with or without Waters)? Well, it cannot happen since Rick's death. Twelve years ago. And yet, Roger reconciled with Nick, and they have even performed with David for one rendition of Comfortably Numb in 2011. 

Pink Floyd is simply a history now. 

We are discussing two guys in their seventies. How much time they are left ahead? Some fifteen, twenty, let's say even thirty years. What's the use of playing the oh-so-long-ago lost and won wars again and again? Instead, more mature would be remembering the common twenty years of great history together and just let Roger Waters have his place on the bands site. Just because of what he did in good old days. Forget the bad, remember the good.

Unless, of course, something happened between these two gentlemen in recent days, which we are not aware of. 

Or, maybe, Mr Gilmour wants to prove again that he is the real Pink Floyd and is preparing some new stuff of the band. If it is so, he can take my money in advance.
