I thought Roger Waters would have a huge solo career and Pink Floyd would do nothing without him. I could not have been more wrong. I still prefer Waters solo over Fake Floyd. He never should have given up the Pink Floyd brand name. He still owns the rights to "The Wall". He is touring stadiums with The Wall this summer. I guess it is his last cash grab before retirement.
I've always loved this song, and I had never seen this video until now, 2011. Cool Americana in this video...and the song has such cool lyrics, too. Roger Waters, you are a genius! Love everything you do.
I've always LOVE his voice and especially on this album. He's like Jacques Brel, he lives what he sings. Roger, you're the greatest lyricist of all times. Roger is the greatest. Simply the best.
THIS SOLO WORK FROM ROGER, CAME TO ME WHEM I WAS VERY YOUNG AND HAD A STRONG IMPACT IN MY LIFE. I SINCE THAN WONDER IF THERE WAS A MOVIE ABOUT. IF SOME ONE KNOWS, LET ME KNOW. I HAVE TRANSLATED ALL THE MUSICS, BUT I WANT TO SEE IF THERE IS ANY TRANSLATION TO PORTUGUESE. THANK YOU.
Lonehorn..... it was "The Wall" tour !! He played Pros & Cons stuff on a few other tours!! By the way " "The Wall" was a fantastic show, thanks Roger and all the gang!!
The last time I saw Roger when he came through Cleveland he play NO songs off of Pros and Cons...I was crushed. Not even one song...I couldnt believe it. I'm still not over it lol.
@hickey1366 The bitch says something mystical, so I jumped back on the curb again! hahaha It's amusing but only a slight rub on Yoko. PF were friendly with the Beatles since their Abbey Road days in the 60s. As for the Pros and Cons, Roger was asked WHAT are they on a Rockline interview, I think he shrugged any direct answr off, it's open to interpretation, the album was in 1984, and it was also inspired by radio based teleplays of his childhood, most of Rog's influence in fact!
@hickey1366 I don't know about Yoko's involvement with PF, but that sounds interesting, not too plausible perhaps. They did say that Syd had not problem being popular, and with woman of course, at the time he was not too medicated
@hickey1366 For a diehard music fan like me, you'd be a fool to write off Pink Floyd, one of the greatest bands of all time, bar none!! I put UFO and PF at the top of my personal list, but Sabbath and Led Zeppelin, Stones, The Who, all awesome, I love so many good bands to be honest, that's just the top of the list
No doubt, Roger is the true voice of Pink Floyd...and Dave Gilmour is the guitar...All four (5) members of Pink Floyd are geniuses all by themselves; of this is there is no doubt...
@augerrat Roger is the founding Voice, but equal parts Gilmour AND RICHARD WRIGHT, lest we forget, the band is also Syd Barrett's songs and voice. The whole of PF past and present...as it stands
Those pop pap albums you listed in response to my worst-ever assertion are just easily forgettable and BLAND. Roger's album is downright OFFENSIVE, and is a great party gag to own--put it on when you have unsuspecting huge PF fans over who've never heard it and you'll be in tears from laughing by the end of "Sexual Revolution." It's the work of a megalomaniac writing a terrible, bombastic, over-the-top musical about a reeeeaaaaallllly stupid concept. The Wall was his last great achievement.
@thegreening I'm going to have to go ahead and reluctantly agree with everything you've said. When I first heard this album, I couldn't understand what the hell he was going for. It was from a very deeply entrenched world war II obsession to....well whatever the hell this was supposed to be.
I saw the live show in '85 and was impressed with that but never really appreciated this or anything much since.
Roger has brilliant moments but not enough weight or diversity to do solo albums.
@surfmcgoogler I have to agree that none of Water"s solo material tops anything he did with Pink Floyd but to say he does not have anything to offer as a solo artist is a bit harsh.... I suppose you could write a better album than Pros And Cons, can't wait to hear it!
Eric Clapton did all the solo guitar work on this album. I saw the tour in '85, was 'not' Clapton on the tour, least not in the U S.
For the others that think this is crap, they obviously have no clue what music is nor know what Roger is all about ( as a musical artist ) ... keep your negative comments to yourself and go watch something else.
This is a great song. But, like a great paragraph from a wonderful book, it loses it's meaning without the context. I don't like listening to this song, or anything from DSOTM or The Wall without listening to the whole album. This record, and those, are novels. Other artists put out short stories. Roger writes novels. I love this song, but without the rest of the album it's hard to justify.
Terrible. Sorry guys, but Pros & Cons is *the* WORST album the entire history of recorded music, bar none! Big fan of The Final Cut, Animals is my favorite Floyd record (WYWH and The Wall tied for close 2nd), but there's a REASON why Gilmour & co looked at Rog like he had lost his MIND when he offered them this OR The Wall to record. It was pretty freaking obvious which was better! The very definition of self parody. Rog & Dave needed each other; Division Bell/Amused To Death both just ok.
The worst album in the entire history of recorded music??? Bar none? Serious? Worse than Justin Bieber's My World? Or Sylvia's Snapshot? That is such a strong statement! It means that you would rather listen to a Wing album than The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking?
When it comes to Roger's solo works,in order to fully appreciate them you need to turn all the lights off,close your eyes and then listen to them. Forget for a moment about the PF legal battles and concentrate on the concept,the music and the lyrics.Forget what if Gilmour wouldve played and not Clapton,etc.Let Sanborn's Sax pierce the darkness of the room and Roger's voice take you from one song to the next. If you like the wall you will like this one since the were composed around the same time
He may have written some great songs, but this and this whole record was utter "rubbish... nonsense from beginning to end", to use Water's own (mostly accurate) words on Division Bell...
Here, he sounds like he had been blowing Lindsay Buckingham for a few days on end before coming up with these songs. And frankly, Clapton, god love him, just has the ability to ruin songs with his pseudo rockabilly sound, especially during this era.
@matdelta1 .........I've never actually seen the credits on the album personally, but a reliable music buff friend of mine claims that it is common knowledge and it does sound like Clapton. Side note: David Gilmore plays guitar on Paul McCartney's "No More Lonely Nights", you should give it a listen too.
gilmore is "the voice" of pink floyd. arguably syd barrett, but rogers cant compete with either of them. a great singer yes, but in my opinion he should stay on the bass.
@hayzeephantayzee then I really wonder who the main singer was :S Dave sang on the first part of Dogs, thats it. Roger on the other hand sang Pigs on the wing part 1 & 2, Second part of Dogs, Pigs ( three different ones) and Sheep.
@hayzeephantayzee well, on the albums before Animals, Wright, Gilmour and Waters sang around the same amount of songs. I did a little quick research and Waters and Wright sang on 13 songs, Gilmour on 16 songs, (Barrett on 11)... this is not 100 % fact, but about there... so if u think Waters "completely took over" after WYWH you are wrong. He's always been singing, even on the first album when Gilmour wasnt even in Pink Floyd.
btw,I love PF from the start till the end and Waters solos!
I'm not wrong. Your research says the same thing as I do. They've all been singing but Waters pretty much took over with Animals. Only Dogs, a bunch on The Wall and Not Now John were sung by David afterwards.
@MrScorpions4ever Nick Mason did spoken word for the band at least three times, and sang on a Christmas release, around 1970 I believe, not generally released, but has been bootlegged
Waters never had a knack for melody which is evidenced in his solo career. He needed his Floydian brothers to help put the perfect music to his great lyrics.
@jwild611 dont be silly, Pink Floyd was at its best when all the members were together, they all bounced of each other in their peek, Radio Kaos has some great melodies as does, we are not amused, though Jeff Beck did a better job on the guitar as opposed to crapton
@jwild611 no it isn't what you said! You said Waters had no nack for melody and then referred to his solo career, and was useless without his floyd brothers....who do you think wrote the Wall? Amused to Death is an incredible album as is Radio Kaos
His solo albums are full of charismatic Floydian melodies and there's not a glimmer of his Floyd brothers!
@kpnutswales First off don't tell me what I meant or said. By that statement I heavily implied that Waters needed the other guys to flesh out his ideas which in turn means the band were at their best putting their heads together. And Water's wrote the story of the wall however w/o Gilmour or Erzin it wouldn't have been the same by a long shot. The Final Cut is more in the area you're talking about and by all accounts it has weak melodies and a predicable lyrical flow.
@jwild611 why you shit, what you gonna do? you ran the \waters down, no hiding from it...You're refering to Pink Floyd, however this thread features Roger Waters, if you don't like him don't watch, simple as, and leave him alone.
For Floyd fans that haven't yet heard any of Rogers albums after Floyd, please listen to them. I know some people who won't listen cause they blame Roger for being a jerk in the last years of the Floyd. I really feel Roger has redeemed himself in the eyes of Gilmour, Mason and Wright. Now it's up to you as a Floyd fan to let the past be the past and remember that Roger IS Pink Floyd. All your favourites are from his mind. I can't wait to see him live at the Wall concert!
Great work, maybe RW's best. Too bad he decided theater was more important than the music in later times. But you still get this tune in your head and find yourself singing the chorus for no good reason...it's just that cool!
Roger has great songs and a great voice, but the man has no sense of how to make a video! This is good because he's not really featured in it. Radio Waves, on the other hand...great song - but the video is so lacking. If the videos to ALL his work contained no acting from him, they'd all be good, just as his songs are. This is a rather watchable video because it doesn't have Roger pretending to be on Broadway and acting thru it. Brilliant song & album, by the way!!!
Ahh but Waters always (even with Floyd) tried to downplay image. It was about the music not seeing their faces or any of that. And that is theatre in Rogers way of doing things. That was the idea of The Wall. We are all separated by walls of some kind. Either money or status or sexuality or race, religion, creed, beliefs. And he in his heart really wants us all to tear those walls down. In an interview he praises the internet in hopes it will brings us all closer. : )
@RupertDCD27 Yes, I see what you're saying. And good point. It is better to listen to the music and lyrics FOR the music & lyrics rather than the face of the performer. I totally understand. And I shouldn't put the fault on Roger if this particular video is lacking. I've seen more recent ones and they're good. I guess it's the style of the 80s videos that marks this one. Thanx for the input. Take care.
Fuck you wankers. This album is so totally worth it for 2 genius songs alone - this one and 5:15 - Every Strangers Eyes. Gilmour, love 'im, was clearly not needed on these two.
@Helicon2112 That is because Dave has a much better voice. Roger was used to having a great guitarist to save him when his lyrics weren't up to par for Flyoyd. So, on this album he got Clapton.
@Helicon2112 if you think robert plants voice has gone i've found the perfect replacement the lead singer of wolfmother i was listening to them the other day and forgot who i was listening too and i thought led zep had made some new tracks
@Helicon2112 I totaly agree man....hes really nothig with out waters...but this album has some great guitar...just would have been better with Gilmour..way better..
@5tonyvvvv I once read an article that said Waters couldn't find a guitarist he liked. He settled on Clapton for this album. Settled for should be the ultimate compliment to David Gilmour.
Waters and Gilmour were the ultimate duet. It is a shame they couldn't put there differences aside. Floyd put out two great albums without Waters. Imagine how good they would have been with him.
I can think of better things to trip to, like fresh air, nature, the serenity of a remote billabong where the barra are biting, but if your jollies are from locking yourself in your room and playing old Roger water Albums to yourself, whatever turns you on! harleys are such an over rated bike, give me a big Yamaha any day, better handling, faster and much better sound, more cultured less aggro.
its funny wen i was 16 /18 i realy understood the lyrics of a song (pink floyyd /bowie / sabbath, oh yes i realy thought they kwew bout demons //drugs / war wen i was 30 ish i realised that mabe ,just mabe they were ther to make money (and rightly so there all talented) im a lot older now mabe not wiser but at least now i can enjoy the music for wot it is , people communcating wot was in there minds , thats gud enuff for me people
A great album- Roger Waters, Eric Clapton, David Sanborn, and Michael Kamen. The concert was even better. Saw this two nights in a row at Nassau Colosseum. The first hour was all Pink Floyd songs. Now I love David Gilmour, but... let's just say it was an incredible experience
@stewalstr I peaked on 6 trips listening to this ..the bed i was laying on was a liquid harley.. I had a women made out of cut diamond emmerge and then dance into a million fractals.. all around the air was radiating streams of colour that weaved itself into a sereal landscape ....And thats just the bit that I can remember .
@microchipmonk Oh Sweet Jesus!!!!....all of that from a quart of cheap gin and some hinky grass rolled up in yesterday's copy of the LA Times.......phuuuuck I should be so lucky!!!....all I get is quivering buttocks from a couple of Colt 45's and a parking ticket written by a morbidly obese Afro-African-American Starbucks Queen......
Had no idea they made a video for this! Probably got aired once, nobody saw it and got thrown into some dusty archive to sit for all eternity. Youtube to the rescue! Thought this was an amazing album. Too bad and quite ironic that the cd cover is still censored to this day, in light of the fact that the original album cover was not and all the sexuality on cd covers today that is permitted. Can't have a woman's bare bottom on the cover for all to see now, can we?
jealus of what....roger waters is pink floyd. That is why he this is so great, is just him...to bad it didint last more than an album, but this album is right next to the wall dude...
just what the hell is going on? I don't know. and I am a younger Floyd fan, and I'm not jealous at all. good tune though, but who gives a good goddamn about Clapton? Really wake up people, he is not all that good. Gilmour honestly blows him away, just listen.

Waters never had a knack for melody which is evidenced in his solo career. He needed his Floydian brothers to help put the perfect music to his great lyrics.

@jwild611 dont be silly, Pink Floyd was at its best when all the members were together, they all bounced of each other in their peek, Radio Kaos has some great melodies as does, we are not amused, though Jeff Beck did a better job on the guitar as opposed to crapton

@kpnutswales yes the members were at their best when together. That's basically what I said
jwild611 1 year ago
@jwild611 no it isn't what you said! You said Waters had no nack for melody and then referred to his solo career, and was useless without his floyd brothers....who do you think wrote the Wall? Amused to Death is an incredible album as is Radio Kaos
His solo albums are full of charismatic Floydian melodies and there's not a glimmer of his Floyd brothers!
kpnutswales 1 year ago
@kpnutswales First off don't tell me what I meant or said. By that statement I heavily implied that Waters needed the other guys to flesh out his ideas which in turn means the band were at their best putting their heads together. And Water's wrote the story of the wall however w/o Gilmour or Erzin it wouldn't have been the same by a long shot. The Final Cut is more in the area you're talking about and by all accounts it has weak melodies and a predicable lyrical flow.

@jwild611 why you shit, what you gonna do? you ran the \waters down, no hiding from it...You're refering to Pink Floyd, however this thread features Roger Waters, if you don't like him don't watch, simple as, and leave him alone.

For Floyd fans that haven't yet heard any of Rogers albums after Floyd, please listen to them. I know some people who won't listen cause they blame Roger for being a jerk in the last years of the Floyd. I really feel Roger has redeemed himself in the eyes of Gilmour, Mason and Wright. Now it's up to you as a Floyd fan to let the past be the past and remember that Roger IS Pink Floyd. All your favourites are from his mind. I can't wait to see him live at the Wall concert!

Great work, maybe RW's best. Too bad he decided theater was more important than the music in later times. But you still get this tune in your head and find yourself singing the chorus for no good reason...it's just that cool!

Roger has great songs and a great voice, but the man has no sense of how to make a video! This is good because he's not really featured in it. Radio Waves, on the other hand...great song - but the video is so lacking. If the videos to ALL his work contained no acting from him, they'd all be good, just as his songs are. This is a rather watchable video because it doesn't have Roger pretending to be on Broadway and acting thru it. Brilliant song & album, by the way!!!

@kincaide67
Ahh but Waters always (even with Floyd) tried to downplay image. It was about the music not seeing their faces or any of that. And that is theatre in Rogers way of doing things. That was the idea of The Wall. We are all separated by walls of some kind. Either money or status or sexuality or race, religion, creed, beliefs. And he in his heart really wants us all to tear those walls down. In an interview he praises the internet in hopes it will brings us all closer. : )
RupertDCD27 1 year ago
@RupertDCD27 Yes, I see what you're saying. And good point. It is better to listen to the music and lyrics FOR the music & lyrics rather than the face of the performer. I totally understand. And I shouldn't put the fault on Roger if this particular video is lacking. I've seen more recent ones and they're good. I guess it's the style of the 80s videos that marks this one. Thanx for the input. Take care.
kincaide67 1 year ago
Fuck you wankers. This album is so totally worth it for 2 genius songs alone - this one and 5:15 - Every Strangers Eyes. Gilmour, love 'im, was clearly not needed on these two.

@Helicon2112 That is because Dave has a much better voice. Roger was used to having a great guitarist to save him when his lyrics weren't up to par for Flyoyd. So, on this album he got Clapton.

@5tonyvvvv I once read an article that said Waters couldn't find a guitarist he liked. He settled on Clapton for this album. Settled for should be the ultimate compliment to David Gilmour.
Waters and Gilmour were the ultimate duet. It is a shame they couldn't put there differences aside. Floyd put out two great albums without Waters. Imagine how good they would have been with him.

I can think of better things to trip to, like fresh air, nature, the serenity of a remote billabong where the barra are biting, but if your jollies are from locking yourself in your room and playing old Roger water Albums to yourself, whatever turns you on! harleys are such an over rated bike, give me a big Yamaha any day, better handling, faster and much better sound, more cultured less aggro.

A great album- Roger Waters, Eric Clapton, David Sanborn, and Michael Kamen. The concert was even better. Saw this two nights in a row at Nassau Colosseum. The first hour was all Pink Floyd songs. Now I love David Gilmour, but... let's just say it was an incredible experience

Had no idea they made a video for this! Probably got aired once, nobody saw it and got thrown into some dusty archive to sit for all eternity. Youtube to the rescue! Thought this was an amazing album. Too bad and quite ironic that the cd cover is still censored to this day, in light of the fact that the original album cover was not and all the sexuality on cd covers today that is permitted. Can't have a woman's bare bottom on the cover for all to see now, can we?
