Roger Waters - Sneak peak of new song

 

Have to disagree with that... I also always thought that Waters was the lyricist and the others were the composers. But if you investigate more, you'll learn that Waters wrote the music to the whole of Animals album (except for a small part in Dogs), most of DSOTM, most of WYWH and the whole The Wall (except for 2-3 songs he co-wrote with Gilmour). That was also a surprise for me but that is the truth.

 

No, they weren't. If David and Co were the music their post Waters albums would at least have a couple of good songs. And On an Island would not be such a dull album (not to mention the '84 solo) and btw do you believe it shows progress?

There is no doubt that Roger was the creative driving force behind Floyd, but he was not alone.

 

I think you got me wrong, in fact Gilmour is in my all time top 3 guitar players (and usually my faviourite one), and I absolutely adore Rick's work not only as a keyboard player but also as a composer (Summer'68, Burning bridges, Remember a Day, Us and Them, Great gig... and his entire Broken China album). I just thought that the statement Gilmour&co were the music is a bit unfair to Roger, because he is not only a brilliant lyricist but a fine composer too.

 

Incidentally I have just seen an interview here with him in Sydney and he is so keen on getting The Floyd back together to do an album. It is a pity Gilmour is not interested and if not he should let Wright, Mason and Waters reunite under the PF banner. He mentioned that Mason and Wright especially are great friends with him again.
