ive been listening to this video since i was 12 n im pulling the big for now..!! n i never get tired of it..!! i recall it gives me the chills everytime..!!
Roger is rather emotional. The guy has unreal stage energy. Just saw his "The Wall" show and he was bouncing around like a lunatic. (In a good way) even at 60 or however old he is. *_*
Love this song. It encapsulates all the emotions one feels in such a time. We feel betrayed, hurt, confused, hopeless, distant, and indignant. I also think it speaks to us because we all have hurt the one that got away in some way or another and we recognize that. We did not appreciate our partner and work hard enough or constantly hurt them. Even if we did not "beat to a pulp" literally as in the song. I couldn't help tearing up like a baby when the chorus comes in. So powerful.
@hitsfromthebong557 I can totally relate. Which i hope is more universal than im led to believe. I certainly can shred a man to bits if i feel that way.
I know exactly how you feel; a few years back I went through a tough one and I can remember just sitting at my computer [drinking whiskey] playing this song as loud as it would go. It was the greatest therapy I could have ever had. Even though the song is haunting and sad, it makes you feel like someone or some thing understands the pain. The screams feel real. It got me thru it.
@kingwilliamorange Hey dude! Thanks for your reply. My favourite band. All I seem to be listening to at the moment is THE WALL. This is the hardest break-up I've ever went through. I've had break-ups in the past but this was my perfect woman. And I went and fucked things up! Anyway, I'm not going to pour my heart out on youtube. All the best to you dude. Stay strong.
@TheLegend313 I feel you man. Just got over one myself (I think). Sucks how you think you're over someone then they creep up in your dreams or a thought triggers a memory of them. Mourn my good man. Mourn and then move on. Good luck sir
@hitsfromthebong557 Hey dude, thanks man. I feel my mourning is over. I've come to realize there is no going back. No reconcilaition. No words or actions that will bring back what I had. So I've picked myself up and dusted myself off.... You know just at the weekend there I had my first lads night out since my break up, and he said, "Just think you are in love with someone you've never met". And I thought, what a crazy thing to say? But it's the truth....
@hitsfromthebong557 ....We are/were all in love with someone we have/had never met before. I hope you too are finding the strength to get through your break-up. Whether that be listening to FLOYD or something else. Good Luck to you to my friend.
This performance strikes me an absolute mastery of theater.....insanity, depression, anger, and raw talent bottled into a perfect blend of lyrics and music........ it describes and illustrates EXACTLY whats going on with Pink .... I can listen to it over and over again. WOW Cant wait to see Mr Waters on Nov 18 in Atlanta and then again in San Fran on Dec 6. My favorite artist ever
So how was that show? I can't imagine it being anything but life altering. Where I am in Alaska we get a lot of flyover shows where bands pass through Anchorage on Asian tours and I've seen a lot of great shows but alas, never any floyd. {sadface}
@akgrizzly2006 The show was indeed life altering..... just SOOOO much different than anything else. The visuals were massive and poetic, the music was loud and crisp, and Rogers singing was great. I loved it. I hope he comes back across the US next year for a few more shows. I could go over and over and watch the same thing.
okay, I knew the the album came first, but as far as it ALL being based on Roger's life, well that's what i used to think as well, until i seen an interview about y he is doing the wall again now 30 yrs later, in it he explains......ALOT! Every Pink Floyd, Roger Water's fan whatever should watch that interview, and then they wouldn't sound like total idiots posting in here, i dont mean u, there r so many very young kids that think they know it all , I dont know it all but the interview helped.
@fmxkool hey aint that the truth?! This has just got to be Roger @ his super best, brilliant!!!, but the video isn't great for watching, we went and seen Roger re-do the wall last Oct. 24th and let me say it wasn't only spectacular, & as far as I am concerned, the concert is wayyyyyy better than the movie.
However, back to THIS cut of that tour, I think its the best one, can't find a whole lot that's watchable due to video lookin like crap or sound not being synched right.~fellow floydian
@babyjo21166 yeah...couldnt afford the tix in New York this year...200 for nose bleeds...made me very sad. i saw them twice in 94 with just Gilmour and saw both Waters and Gilmour seperately a few years ago, but i know this one would have taken the cake
I've tripped on acid and listed to Pink Floyd so many times. I know I have came up with my best art work ever. Just listin to the word and feeling the music takes you on a trip of the unknow. Wow what a ride enjoyed it all the way.
The song, the lyrics and Roger's voice represent my feelings for 200%, since my girlfriend left me, almost 3 months ago..... Thought I was done with it, but tears are burning again when I hear this song.
@DavidGilmour240 , that is total wishful thinking and a complete rumor.....like gilmore aint got nothing better to do. They did meet up, this is also on youtube and my facebook page. not going to explain it, look it up and watch it> type in david gilmore and roger waters till we meet again. Short clip , but interesting.
@xYoungSteezyX Syd Barret went crazy in 1968, which scared the other members of Pink Floyd away from experimenting with drugs. You are clearly very uneducated.
@Kapricorn1 There we go, when i saw him singing that part, it was almost like he was in PAIN! He couldn't of sang it better that night. Sounded just like someone put on the album!!!!! His performance was exceptional, emotionally charged REAL, ROGER WATERS!!!! PERFECTION WITH HIS VOICE!!
its the augmented G that makes all the song psychedelic.
they were great musicians with very expresing chord progressions (remember the ending of saucerful of secrets ending - its bass melodic line was insane)...
and of course they were (and two of them still are) important personas...
God. Roger is putting so much of his heart and soul into this performance. You can see it in the way he's rocking backwards and forwards. He looks sort of... broken and fragile. It's hard to describe. Amazing.
I'm pretty hyped already to be seeing him next year at the Manchester Evening News Arena.
In the beginning of this song, there's heavy breathing. The breathing is his lady on a ventilator because he beat the holy crap out of her in the preceeding song titled "One of My Turns". He's not pleading for her to stay because she's walking out on him. She's dying.
ax is in reference to his guitar def doesn't beat her, the breathing thing by this time especially was a Floyd staple... maybe the breathing from "pink" having a fit. (One of My Turns)
@rBrad4D - - Not taking the movie into consideration.... just an interpretation.... towards the end of "One of My Turns," he slaps her and you can hear something being banged around...I'm guessing he's hitting her with something. Either way it's interpreted, "Don't Leave Me Now" is very profound.
'How could you go when you know how I need you to beat to a pulp on a saturday night?' It's harrowing how though the narrator is a wicked man his desperate voice still breaks our hearts.
Whenever I hear the wall I show the same emotions as Roger. It's almost comforting that he shows the emotions while performing. When he grabs his arm while singing I got chills.
it was 2 in the morining when i finished watching the wall the first time, and i was over my friends house.... we both had to check for gas leaks, we were so fried by the movie
Because when she cheats on Pink, he feels the betrayal strongly. In nature female scorpions and mantises often kill and eat their mates once they're done.
One of purposes behind Pink Floyd's music was to give people a trip without drugs. IT is very effective. I have never done any and the first time I saw The Wall my brain was fried. Roger Waters is a genius. The best musician ever!!
i must say pink floyd sounds a thousand times better under the influence of drugs though. The song Echoes made me think i was in heaven once when i heard Think Floyd tribute band play it. Too bad I will never get to see the original. =(
it was 2 in the morining when i finished watching the wall the first time, and i was over my friends house.... we both had to check for gas leaks, we were so fried by the movie
of all people not to have OD'd, or kill themselves from depression, Roger Waters did not. I have no idea how he could write these masterpieces and perform them on a basis like this and not get depressed
@AM007009 I believe this album was his outlet for his troubled state of mind at the time. The fact that he did write and perform this album helped him from going mental. Just my opinion though....
@AM007009 - I know hey? he was brilliant, and i'm sure all that acid didn't mess up his singing and playin guitar, and he still sounds great still too!!!!!!!
@AM007009 u need to watch the 5 hr long special on the FUSE channel, they have been playing it alot, THE WALL WAS NOT ROGER'S LIFE, it was written from lyrics from one of his producers. U will know everything , just watch that .
@AM007009 i believe he did get depressed, and that's how he wrote this. Everything i've read or heard states that he got so low from the grind of performance, giving it all to the pigs in the audience that he snapped and spit at a guy from the state, but was shocked at himself afterward for such a base, inhuman action that he turned around and wrote the wall. Self therapy really.
@LMMEjsmith ummm , where are u getting ur information? Go look on here for his interview he recently did, type in Roger waters interview 2010 and you will scroll to find the one that says Roger waters AOL. Have you seen the movie? It WAS NOT based on Water's own life, only very small parts, it was actually the producers story. Roger just put the words and music together, i dont mean JUST in the way u might think, he created a masterpiece from it all.
@babyjo21166 You know the album was written before the film was produced? And it was based a lot on Rogers life, his dad died in WWII, hence 'Goodbye Blue Sky' and 'Mother' and though most of the album is fictional, it is based on Rogers life.
ahah...you're crazy...Don't kill yourself, you could have a kid who might become an awesome rockstar whom brings back the 70/ 80's in all its glory :D
Roger looks so sad. Oh my god, its fucking amazing!! The song is amazing and the performance makes it even better. My favorite Floyd song of all time. But the look on Roger's face when he yells "BAAAAAAAABE" is so depressing, I love it...
That's why I am asking. That's his goldtop. But if you see David Gilmour's "On an island" official video you will notice that he is using a Les Paul goldtop with P-90 pickups and a Bigsby vibrato for a part of the solo.
I had the same thing happen to me, and I turned for some weird reason or maybe for comfort in it's alienating theme to The Wall, endlessly. I've had a new girlfriend now for almost a year after 3 with the other one, funny thing is that I still think about the other one endlessly, how can I not, her favorite album of all time was Animals.
I don't think you get it. It's "awful singing" because it's Pink singing about his lost girlfriend because he's built up his wall and so on. I don't really think it's relaxing, and it's Rick Wright.
I've gone through that too, those assholes. I hope they go to hell and die. Atleast you've gotten some inspiration out of it! I'm happy to hear you're over it. I haven't lost hope in people though just asked myself what was wrong with me for the longest time... and that sucks too. Oh well.
Lol. that's terrible! Just listening to this reminds me of someone wanting to die or something. I know what you mean. I think anyone listening to this starts thinking depressively. But It's a beautiful depression. I take the time to think deeply when I listen to this. I have to admit I love it. You can imagine what Roger waters was going through or whoever pink is based upon.
ooooh babe, dont leave me now dont say its the end of the road remember the flowers i sent i need u babe to put the shredder in front of my friends ooooh babe dont leave me now
Like a week ago, a friend of mine, who's a HUGE fan of old rock bands, told me we would love to be borned at the '70s and asked me in witch decade I would like to be borned.
I said I was OK with the '90s, the decade I was born.
But after seeing this videos of the tour... well, I would loved to be there in the August 9th 1980.
ive been listening to this video since i was 12 n im pulling the big for now..!! n i never get tired of it..!! i recall it gives me the chills everytime..!!

I never understand why Pink's wife is portrayed as a praying mantis like creature and also as a scorpion like creature...

Because when she cheats on Pink, he feels the betrayal strongly. In nature female scorpions and mantises often kill and eat their mates once they're done.

@dillydew3 praying mantis eat there lovers after mating... not sure about the scorpions but im sure its similar symbolism.

One of purposes behind Pink Floyd's music was to give people a trip without drugs. IT is very effective. I have never done any and the first time I saw The Wall my brain was fried. Roger Waters is a genius. The best musician ever!!

i must say pink floyd sounds a thousand times better under the influence of drugs though. The song Echoes made me think i was in heaven once when i heard Think Floyd tribute band play it. Too bad I will never get to see the original. =(

of all people not to have OD'd, or kill themselves from depression, Roger Waters did not. I have no idea how he could write these masterpieces and perform them on a basis like this and not get depressed
AM007009 2 years ago 43
@AM007009 I believe this album was his outlet for his troubled state of mind at the time. The fact that he did write and perform this album helped him from going mental. Just my opinion though....

@AM007009 u need to watch the 5 hr long special on the FUSE channel, they have been playing it alot, THE WALL WAS NOT ROGER'S LIFE, it was written from lyrics from one of his producers. U will know everything , just watch that .
babyjo21166 1 year ago
@AM007009 i believe he did get depressed, and that's how he wrote this. Everything i've read or heard states that he got so low from the grind of performance, giving it all to the pigs in the audience that he snapped and spit at a guy from the state, but was shocked at himself afterward for such a base, inhuman action that he turned around and wrote the wall. Self therapy really.

@LMMEjsmith ummm , where are u getting ur information? Go look on here for his interview he recently did, type in Roger waters interview 2010 and you will scroll to find the one that says Roger waters AOL. Have you seen the movie? It WAS NOT based on Water's own life, only very small parts, it was actually the producers story. Roger just put the words and music together, i dont mean JUST in the way u might think, he created a masterpiece from it all.
babyjo21166 1 year ago
@babyjo21166 You know the album was written before the film was produced? And it was based a lot on Rogers life, his dad died in WWII, hence 'Goodbye Blue Sky' and 'Mother' and though most of the album is fictional, it is based on Rogers life.

markmaille 2 years ago
That's why I am asking. That's his goldtop. But if you see David Gilmour's "On an island" official video you will notice that he is using a Les Paul goldtop with P-90 pickups and a Bigsby vibrato for a part of the solo.

I had the same thing happen to me, and I turned for some weird reason or maybe for comfort in it's alienating theme to The Wall, endlessly. I've had a new girlfriend now for almost a year after 3 with the other one, funny thing is that I still think about the other one endlessly, how can I not, her favorite album of all time was Animals.

I don't think you get it. It's "awful singing" because it's Pink singing about his lost girlfriend because he's built up his wall and so on. I don't really think it's relaxing, and it's Rick Wright.

I've gone through that too, those assholes. I hope they go to hell and die. Atleast you've gotten some inspiration out of it! I'm happy to hear you're over it. I haven't lost hope in people though just asked myself what was wrong with me for the longest time... and that sucks too. Oh well.
edscissprs08 2 years ago
Lol. that's terrible! Just listening to this reminds me of someone wanting to die or something. I know what you mean. I think anyone listening to this starts thinking depressively. But It's a beautiful depression. I take the time to think deeply when I listen to this. I have to admit I love it. You can imagine what Roger waters was going through or whoever pink is based upon.

Like a week ago, a friend of mine, who's a HUGE fan of old rock bands, told me we would love to be borned at the '70s and asked me in witch decade I would like to be borned.
I said I was OK with the '90s, the decade I was born.
But after seeing this videos of the tour... well, I would loved to be there in the August 9th 1980.
sorry for the bad english
