He is redeeming himself in his old age. Syd Barrett was the real founder of Pink Floyd, Roger just took the credit for everything and was generally disliked.
He's a leftist with TDS... this is the first thing I've heard him say that wasn't retarded
Well said. Bet he's retarded enough to get vaxed.
I have family members who aren't lefty's, still some of the biggest Floyd fans you'll ever meet - who'd KILL me for saying this but......... WATERS WILL BLOW TEN HOBOS TO GET THE JAB IF THAT IS WHAT IT TAKES. I just call it as I see it.
So true.. sigh... Trump needs to stop shilling the vax
Combine what you both just said and that is Roger Waters - 100%.
Not untrue, but I have noticed, but musicians are kind of funny (real ones, not pre-packaged Disney crap). They can be very left, but a lot of them have a seething hatred for big tech because they have been royally screwed over by streaming.
Roger Waters is antisemitic to the core. His flying pigs with the star of David aren't just for kicks.
Socialist who sold his guitar collection for $21.5M...
Of course Dave G is a fraud, always was slimy. They all were except Syd; he was the only one in the band who didn't care about $£$ or fame, only the music. Part of the reason he was pushed out.
I agree with all of the sentiment here ... but as a 35 year Floydphile, I can tell you Sid Barret (genius in his own right) went off the deep end. He truly did. RW loved him like a brother, but Sid went off the deep end, and RW, NM, RW had no real options when it came to Sid Barrett. He was coo-coo for cocoa puffs. He holed up and lived with his mother the rest of his adult life. Tragic. Truly tragic.
Did you know him? Doubt it. He was surrounded by leeches and sycophants and was too nice to tell them to Foxtrot Oscar. His weakness / sensitivity was known by the others (I'll leave it at that). I was too young to see it at the time but looking back its clear he was given what we know today as handlers, who made sure he went over the edge. Those who tried to get him back into playing didn't know what they were up against; their effort were sabotaged in a cruel way and that was what pushed him over the edge - the total betrayal of people he trusted and thought were his friends. At heart he was an innocent, sweet guy who never had a bad word for anyone. A butterfly crushed on the wheel of ambition and greed. As for RW: one should not speak badly of others so I will be silent.
Syd Barrett is a footnote. Nothing more. sad what became of him, but he never had what it took to be great. Asshole or not, RW is a fuking Genius. No one would even know Syd Barrett were it not for them. Great defender of mediocrity. Genius is worthless if wasted on the feeble minded.
At Delicate Sound of Thunder tour there were signs EVERYWHERE saying “Roger who”? Major fan here & loved Richard Wright (RIP).
meh... Roger Waters is friends with Patti Hearst, of all people, and both are tied to the Watermill Project, a Marina Abramovic Joint

Except Syd Barrett was around when no one cared. Sure that was their start and all, young talent and all, and he was touched one allegedly ... but anything you hear today by them (all the hits) and Syd Barret was long gone before then.
Exactly
