Roger Waters~Animals Reissue...Issue - Progressive Rock Music Forum

Mr Waters still pissed that he is not a part of the Pink Floyd website, ok get over it dude! But is now pissed that Gilmour is not allowing what I understand are to be new liner notes for the upcoming release of the 2018 remix of Animals. It seems the liner notes may explain further who did what on the album, but those notes were not in the original album release.

Normally when a band does a reissue they try and stay true to the original packaging, pictures, labels and such. I suspect these new notes were putting Waters on a pedestal......If Roger Waters wants to blow his own horn I say go for it and finish up his memoirs and release the book! I am sure that will only start Pink Floyd WWII

Floyd Wars: The Next Generation - original liner notes to album reissues shouldn't be messed with; however, addendums and info to broaden the experience are always welcome.

I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

I hope they realize all this nonsense is only hurting themselves. In any case, I want to see what the package brings, to decide if I’ll buy it or not.

I agree. They could be a massive touring band of the past say 20yrs, they would sell out everywhere! Even now with Richard gone, they could still be a huge band....but those two!!

I looked further into this reissue and it is being called a 2018 Remix done by James Guthrie, who has done all the 2016 remasters including Animals all from original master tapes. So I can only assume this "2018" version is using the same 2016 version the James already did....What you get is some additional stuff like a Bluray 5.1 mix, DVD and CD as well an LP.

This is starting to look like a cash grab. I suspect this box set will run $75-$100, and the 2016 LP version still goes for about $30....so hmmmm Shocked

F*ck Roger Waters. Insufferable pr*ck. What will he name his memoir, "If You Meddle With The Ego, You Can't Have Any Pudding"?

...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

Waters is a genius, gotta admit, but he seems unable to practice what he preaches.

Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

You see this behavior we're witnessing?

This is precisely the type of bullsh*t that makes me lose massive amounts of respect for people that have had the privilege of making a living making sounds in front of crowds.

Waters is actually made words printed on paper aren't what he wants. If I ever get to this level of complaining I'll know I've made it I guess LOL.

What a shame.

Correct. It's magnified when you're a celebrity, no doubt there. It makes you look neurotic AF at this level though.

Part of it is because Roger Waters is no longer "Pink Floyd", they made that split years ago. Gilmour, IIRC, remains the sole owner of Pink Floyd.

What I don't get is that RW continues to harp on the fact that he wrote the material.....no duh dude, in the liner notes for most of the albums he is credited where it is due, from a legal copyright perspective, RW is the writer.

But he pushes that over and over like we the fans don't know how to read liner notes and credits.

I mean back in the day for example if he is going to claim he wrote all of Echoes, then why are they all included in the credits? He brought up Money and the cash register sound saying that Gilmour was nowhere to be found when that sound click was created...ok great, Waters is already credited for writing Money, so what is his beef?? The only one that can talk about how Money was created is Waters Confused

Roger Waters is wasting his time bitchin and moanin about the PF website and how he is banned from it. I'm not a part of Pink Floyd and I am sure I would be banned from it too LOL

.

I'm not saying Gilmour and others have no part in this, but man RW needs to get laid or something......what a waste of talent.

Really wish Waters would stop with this kind of petty/stupisd stuff. He's making an arse of himself

then again, Gilmour is just as much of an arse, bringing in his wife in the fold is idiotic and designed to irrate Ol'Rog.

This said, I understand that Floyd also belongs to Mason.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword
