  • Roger, you need to grow up and do something new… you are obsessed with one of many Pink Floyd’s successes “The Wall” that you can’t let go and find your place in music industry… that makes you very OBSOLETE!!!!

  • @fmontaseri Why do you think he's Obsessed with this album? this is only the second time hes doing it as a tour again. and besides, why is it you tell him to grow up if swagger is still playing as well and many other bands that are just as or even greatly older then roger. Its like if i said Van Halen and Bon Jovi need to stop playing there shit. it doesnt make him any bit obsolete sense everyone is interested in hearing this album Live. its a great experience.Its eye dropping!(ha pun intended)

  • @fmontaseri Rodger Waters contributes more to the music world in ONE DAY than you have in your whole entire LIFE, and you are sittng fat-butt behind your PC heckling HIM?

    You sound like a pathetic spoiled BRAT "gimme gimme gimme"

    It remains to be seen, but even IF what said WAS true, and he's past his best work... it's STILL better to be a "Has-Been" than a "Never-Was"!

  • @fmontaseri You know I've noticed it's always the punks like you with no videos of your own on youtube that perennially leave the meanest spirited comments.

  • cant wait to see the wall in Sydney on wednesday. going to be great.

  • He looks so old :( Well okay he IS old. Get's me thinking how I'll look like in... well, 50 years, wow.

  • Going to see The Wall in June 2012 live... omg waiting feels like forever

  • @mileylevesque me too! in Chicago!

  • @mcguire700 awesome. me Ottawa

  • does anyone ever imagine the types of music Pink Floyd could have created in the past 30 odd years if Waters didnt pull out of the band ? I always think about it.. Gilmore and Waters are geniuses on their own but put them together and fuck me dead they are just pure fucking brilliant. If I could meet anyone famous before I die it would be those amazing Musicians. yeeeeeeeoooow!

  • i like the harry redknapp voice roger doe's, brilliant but the dj didn't clock on what he was doing

  • @azeivio i know mate was funny ay

  • I don;t blame him for not liking noisy stadium goers... I mean, think about it: they have spent their LIFE honing the Pink Floyd live show to the beautiful thing it was - and to have someone who is out of the vibe screaming just ruins it for those sitting/standing around the screamer.

  • @lastdaysguitar You're right. This happened to us; six in our party seated for the "Momentary Lapse of Reason"show at the sold-out 80,000 seat Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia in late eighties some young fool about 17-18 yrs. old starts puking his guts up at his seat, smelling up the whole section. We had security remove him before his ass got kicked. If people would just go to shows and LISTEN to the music and shut the hell up, it makes it all the more worthwhile.

  • @scubarulz Agreed, I went to the last Who concert in Minnesota and the girl next to us would not shut up, ruined half the show until she slipped that she didn't actually have tickets to be up front. THANK YOU USHERS!

  • @lastdaysguitar Absolutely!! Pity Keith Moon's gone on to wherever, he could've jumped off from behind drum set and played a while off the top of her head!! Lol.

  • This man is an absolute genius with so much to say. The way he talks about his work is memorizing. Thinking of going to go see the show when it comes back to Arizona. Cheers to all.

  • I think Water is creative as fuck, but the guy is prick with his tight ass opinions. I still love the guy with all my heart.

  • Can't find Roger on facebook :S

  • @Vlodrak Did you try typing "Roger Waters" into the search box? I found at least two pages.

  • @starwitchstone Oh yah, I've got it now, it's called 'Roger Waters The Wall' which is why I didn't originally notice it cause there's no community pages just called 'Roger Waters'.

  • @Vlodrak Try this to get to the Roger Waters community page. I can't type a URL here so hopefully you'll know what to do. Put this after the Facebook dot com.

    Roger-Waters(backslash)1437471­08995583

    There are the two pages. The one you found, and the one just called "Roger Waters" (community page)

  • im going in may cant wait!!!

  • I was at that Montreal show, it really was a dull affair, the band played awful, I remember Gilmour didn't bother to come out for the encore

  • Great interview with a great man. I was there in Potsdammer Platz in 1990. Will never forget it.

  • Great interview. Oh how fans would love to see a world tour with Gilmour and Waters together. It's # 1 on my bucket list.

  • @CannonDigital and mason! :)

  • Can't wait! :D

  • Comment removed

  • We have a true lyrical genius in Roger.

  • @HammerFist1970 He was for sure the main lyric writer for Pink Floyd,ROCK ON!!!!!!!

  • roger waters = best song writer. he is large inspiration to me

  • "Though I'm not playing any stadiums on this tour, only arenas" Ohhhhhhh

  • Roger is a genius !!! we need more musicians like him!

  • my idol!! LOVE THIS MAN!!

  • i seen the second show in toronto and he is playing toronto again june 23 2012 and man i cant wait...this was a great interview i really enjoyed it

  • Roger Waters has to be my very favorite band member of Pink Floyd. He just always has been!

  • @Libstergirl74 ditto :D

  • love the comment on 25:25 about Dave

  • richard gere

  • That part about the end about Dave wanting Roger to do the Phil Spector song and how Roger reacted, sounds so much like how good friends or family are with each other! That just proves to me how well Roger and Dave *do* know each other that they did that little thing. I think it's pretty cool! Their friendship may fire back up yet. :)

  • @tall32guy Could you explain why they split actually?

    i never got that,, :/

  • When I saw the Wall here in NY last year...I fought back tears... it was not only because the music brings me back to my happiest days as a child... BUT because the STORY of THE WALL is epic in message. THE CORPRATOCRACY HAS PUT A WALL BETWEEN US ALL...MEGA CORPORATIONS OWNED BY THE BANKSTERS CONTROL THE POLITICIANS AND FUEL THE WARS.

  • Such a clever bloke,he's my favorite floyd member.There i something bout dave i dont like...

  • awesome interview great job

  • I can't wait to see Roger do The Wall in St. Paul! Is it June yet?

  • Im going to add Roger on facebook right now

  • The Final Cut was Roger's farewell album.

  • Rick didn't want to contribute to the Wall

  • Roger got more screwed by Dave and the rest of the band. After all.. most of the music was written by Waters yet Gilmour went on with the band name and remaining members. They were all hugely tallented though!

    Rip Richard Wright.

  • his voice is so........ awesome.

  • It sounds like Roger and Dave are clearing the air a bit between them, finally making peace. I hope that's the case. They probably are realizing that they aren't getting any younger, and the differences they had are 30 years old. :-)

  • the punk rockers really picked up on that spitting on fans.

  • Weird looking to gorgeous! I watched this all the way through and just smiled and smiled - can't believe how laid back he is now, and how funny.

  • In Spanish... PLEASE!!!!  PLEASE!!!!

  • I can't believe I was in the same room as this man

    17 years old.

    The Wall 11.21.10

    THE Best Day of my Life.

  • great interview. Glad to hear that Rog is over his acrimony and frustration with Pink Floyd's last incarnation. I have watched the video of Gilmour performing with Waters on the tour and it's superb.

  • I'll take the original "personal narrative" version of The Wall over a new "direct anti-war" version any day.

  • @kgunby it can be both

  • @bornbroken7 I realize that. However, the pictures and videos that go on during the new show leave less room for interpretation considering they portray an in-your-face anti-war theme. I just choose to interpret the album as an internal struggle rather than some kind of political statement because nothing turns me off (in the musical sense) more than an obvious political message. If I'm listening to music, I just want to enjoy the music.

  • @bornbroken7 I really couldn't care less about what the artists' opinions are regarding the way society should be. "Fuck the pooolice!" --"Stop right there! I don't give a shit what you think about the police, Flavor Flav. I happen to respect their services, yet I kind of dislike their enforcement of traffic laws." The moment some kind of political message gets put into a song, or a song gets interpreted as a political message, people start to argue. For me, music transcends that silly crap.

  • Edmonton - May 28, 2011 i'll be there ;) Can't wait :)

  • and moved you shall be! i'm so glad Roger is coming back to the states so i can see this absolutely mind blowing show again.

  • What a great interview..thanks to Roger and the interviewer! AWESOME!!

  • What a great guy.

  • I saw them in 2007 Edmonton concert it was incredible

  • Thumbs up if you watch the whole video! :) i did

  • @AsweBurstintoFlames

    I did and it pissed me off that some asshole with a great voice went along to...oh I don't drop Turkeys on Cincinnati?

    -AlastairCunningham

  • I listened to Echoes while listening to this podcast.

  • Gonna see The Wall here in Chile, March 2, 2012 :D

  • Saw The Wall Manchester 2011...awesome. roger we love you.

  • Roger has really toned down his darkness. Hes gettin soft!

  • @ticktocktimers. Yes he is releasing a dvd of one of the London shows. This probably won't be real soon but its gong to happen. Also throwing more US dates on next year. Cities he didn't hit last time and some baseball stadiums.

  • Worlds issues are pretty bad all the time. Some musicians don't directly relate politics via music.

  • in my opinion the reason theres less politics in todays music is because there are less causes in the world today. We have environmental problems and a couple of middle eastern wars, but pink floyd and all other 60s-70s-80s bands (Lennon, sex pistols ect) were in the middle of a worldwide cold war, as well as a few others more serious then todays wars and political problems, and the music shows it

  • cant wait to see him! its killing me

  • Hahaha iq's hovering around room temperature's

  • Does any one know if Roger is putting the show on DVD?

    Would love to see it again.

    We say his first show in Toronto. It was out of this world. If you havent seen it yet and you get to go you are in for some treat!! Well done Roger.

    Would love to see K.A.O.S. on tour next...

  • I always thought Waters was a meglomaniac, but he's mellowed in his older years. Too bad he came around a few years too late. Floyd was better with him in it.

  • Roger Waters is the greatest lyracist of all time!!!!

  • Happy Birthday Roger!

  • I was actually moved upon hearing 'Outside the Wall' for the first time, so Roger has moved me even before I've seen his show! Btw, I'll be seeing it in Melbourne, Australia in February and it's so exciting!!!

  • A few hours ago I received an e mail from Rogerwaters page com saying that I´ve been selected for the exclusive pre sale for the tickets of the world record show that Roger will give in Argentina march 2012 (7 River Plate stadiums ) anyways... I just can´t believe it. I´ve got my tickets !!!! I saw Roger live in 2002 and now, 10 years later I´ll see him again...I just can´t believe it.

  • @fertobar BtW 8 shows in Argentina....(River Plate stadium, capacity for the show 60+ wow!!!)

  • Waters looks cooler older. When he was young he had kinda creepy face.

  • I would love to have him spitting at me hehehe

  • Hi Roger!!

  • Roger has not been nowhere successful since departing Pink Floyd. Roger had to resort back to Pink Floyd Dark Side and The Wall to sell out arena's. I like Roger as a producer than as a artist.

  • I saw this show in cleveland! I really hope he puts it out on dvd, because you really cant put into words. If you were not there, you really missed out. It would be very hard to pull of another production half as good as roger was

  • Such an authority this genious has!

  • BREAK DOWN THE WALL OF ENGLISH APARTHEID

    ROGER WATERS GO AND SAVE THE WORLD

  • Genius - right there.

  • I always thought most of the message of the wall was about Syd. Neat to find out the songs lyrics are about Roger. The Wall is an incredible album. This interview is very insightful. Pink Floyd as a band were in their prime in the 70's. They put out some remarkable albums with messages about topics that are still relevant today, and fans can still relate to them.

  • Talking about business

  • GENIUS

  • Keep rockin Roger!!! The best show of my life went straight to the heart.I am glad to be part of it.Cheers!

  • what a top guy, best show ever

  • I find it funny how he's developed a cockney accent as he's got older

  • Did he say "piss" on radio?

  • Roger is one of very few guys who looks better the older he gets. Went from weird looking to normal looking. :-)

  • @Nigelxman True, too bad Dave Gilmour's gone the opposite way.

  • @Nigelxman- Exactly. He had to grow into his features.

  • @Nigelxman thats probably because he wasn't that handsome in his earlier years...

  • @Wasserziege I agree and yet it typically works the opposite way. Case and point Dave Gilmour as jimmyzo3o suggested. :-) My gf thinks Gilmour was incredibly hot back in the Dark Side of the Moon era and I have no problem admitting that he was a good looking bloke. He's a little bloated up these days. But hey, we all age the way we age right? :-) All I really care about is the incredible body of sublime music they have given us over the years.

  • @Nigelxman You call THAT "normal"? ;-)

  • @Nigelxman i agree 100000000000000000000000000%

    

  • @Nigelxman what i am saying tat shows he been getting better thru health wise

  • the guy's name was chris not craig oh roger i love you so much

  • The WORLD" must come together and finally "Wake-Up!"and understand WHO it is who are deceivingly building all these destructive "WALLS!" around the world today.

    wake-upbeforeitstoolate(dot)co­m to understand what is happening in our world today.

  • "You know what they are, without him mentioning Maggie Thatcher."

    Lmao. Maaggiiee what have we donee?

  • COME TO COLOMBIA AGAIN!!!!!!! :))

  • Was a fantastic and brilliant show last night in Budapest! Thank you Roger!!!!!

  • I saw the show in 1980 in Dortmund and later on that year in London/ Earls Court .And ever since my son was born I have said to him that should the show ever go on the road again , we would go . We have now seen what we both consider the best f.... show on earth in Copenhagen and a week later in London because just seeing it once doesn't do it . Havejust las tweek bought tickets for the show in Athens. Don't you miss it . Can now officially die and go to heaven . OH .... have just been there .

  • porn!!!!

  • Great interview

  • Saw Antwerp show yesterday. Shivers down my spine, tears in my eyes. Best concert ever!!!

  • i saw him on monday night in dublin........AMAZING!! roger you are a genuis

  • Saw it at Manchester Saturday night, great show, Merchandise EXPENSIVE !!! But I still bought some !!!! LOL

  • what an artist! the concert at the 02 was just that...deeply moving!

  • Saw the show at the O2 last Tuesday, and it delivers all that Roger promised, and more. A once-in-a-lifetime kind of show.

  • David Gilmour only turning up for one show, is another brick in the wall.!

  • @joesgarage333soton What do you expect? Roger has been a pain in the ass for eternity! now he is old fool!

  • @gardenofarcane What do you think,or price would he pay for his arrogance for all these years? All the bullshit he pulled to stop Pink Floyd from playing and all the ignorance he displayed for years!!!! Now saying that.... Pink Floyd is not Pink Floyd without Roger Waters!!! A Genious.!!!!! But all that wasteful,egotistic bickering that spanned decades is sad!!! I seen an interview and you could just sense his regret. Now Rick Wright has left us makes it so sad. Life is so short!!!!!!!

  • @antond139 It's really easy now for him to preach all this love and equality, asshole kicked out Rick, fought with everyone, took his old friends to court for using the name "pink Floyd, now guilt chewing up his old ass, he is out here trying to preach love what a hypocrite!

  • @gardenofarcane he didnt kick Rick out of the band at all they all did they all voted him out cause he didnt want to stick with their new recording schedule i believe he told Roger to fuck off so they voted him out and were nice enough to give him a job on the tour so get the facts right it wasnt just Roger Dave and Nick played a big part in it too

  • @MrDannyboyhall Thats right! read Nick Mason's Inside Out and get your facts right!!! Rick was kicked out by Rogers on phone, He said when I get back in US where they mixing the Wall Rick shouldnt be there or he'll scrap the whole project, This guy is and always has been an ASSHOLE!

  • @gardenofarcane thats funny as both Roger and David have admitted this in interviews and also in a book of floyds i have also both have said that you cant believe what Nick wrote as his memory of the way things went wasnt exactly that clear or consistent 

  • @gardenofarcane and yes it did all happen over the phone while on their way to the US they were on the plane when Roger and David called him and said that the new schedule was going to cut short their vacation time thats when Rick said to David tell Roger to go fuck himself its also common knowledge that Rick was not working properly and was suffering with depression at the time hence slowing down the production time of the album

  • @gardenofarcane Roger was and is a selfcentered lil asshole. The mere fact that Gilmore, mason, and Wright (rip) toured allot after that period STILL.

    Proofs what kind of asshole he is , he is a brilliant lyrical writer. Roger is simply brilliant on that area, but as a guitarist he was ALWAYS behind on gilmour. And not to be over rude here, he SUCKS as a vocal singer too.

  • Comment removed

  • @gardenofarcane So you think that someone isn't allowed to be sorry for things they regret? Ten to one you'd be complaining if he was still like he was then, he can't win! He has made apologies for all of that live on stage, it takes a big person to admit that they were wrong, and he'd done it in front of thousands, so don't you dare go criticising someone for becoming a better person!

  • @Pudabudigada He Apologized for spiriting on a fans face not for becoming an asshole for half a century, it's all too convenient isnt it? fuck with everyone say whatever you want to say and then you said SORRY! this guy took his band mates of 20 yrs to court for using the name "Pink Floyd" and he is teaching us how live our live our life now! It's typical of people who want everything.

  • @Pudabudigada

    You do not fully get were the differences were/are between HIM and the rest. Roger never started Pink floyd to be a great musician. He became what he became to get world fame, and he did i admit that much. But it also made him a asshole because of CHOICE.

    You could known that if you, saw the Meddle (echoes, made the floyd as we know it now) docu...

  • @Secondlifecreator To which I'm inclined to respond; So what? He's different now, and it's the here and now that matters. What he used to be like is immaterial, say one of your friends used to be a vicious racist, but now works on a racism helpline, would you still hate that person? I think not.

  • @Pudabudigada

    Got nothing to do with hate thats the narrow minded mistake you just make. I do believe in second chances but not AFTER 20 YEARS! Then you just a tat to late to "change", And i would not friend a racist to begin with, so the whole hypothesis is wrong your handing to me. That you a forgiven person that is great, but if you busted my nuts (like roger did for over 20 years) then you can simply get lost.

    Easier then this is cannot word it.

  • @Secondlifecreator My point was that if you discovered that one of your friends used to be a bedfellow of Nick Griffin but now isn't, you wouldn't dump them, would you? Of course if it was the other way around I would expect that you would dump them, which would seem to be at odds with what seems to be your philosophy on this. You should try to apply rationality to how you view other people. There are stories of mass murderers leaving prison to work for charities, are they still evil?

  • We saw David Gilmour repay his favour last night in the o2, there was barely a dry eye in the whole building! What an amazing show!!

  • No 1 artist in the history of rock music

  • Just won 2 tickets from absolute radio today for the 11th cant wait

  • @bigals1000 you would be a very very lucky person if it was the 12th. that's when gilmour plays the comfortably numbs solo :) i bet you a million pounds, dollars, kronors.. you name it!

  • @disposablereligion I will try when am down to get a ticket for the 12th to i have already 2 tickets for manchester to ,how do you know that gilmour is there on the 12th ?????????

  • @bigals1000 i've promised the person that i can't tell. i shouldn't even have told this but meh. gilmour's gonna come and see the show on the first date in london O2 - today.. and then tomorrow (12th may), he's just gonna come.. play the comfortably numb solo and leave. yup.. only the comfortably numb solo. if you can, do go on the 12th. you REALLY won't regret it :)

  • @disposablereligion You wont believe me buddy my ticket came today and guess what its for the 12th fucking buzzing already wish it was 7am to get on the train

  • @bigals1000 so did you go? did he play?

  • @disposablereligion Just home buddy you were correct he did play awesome night and you wont believe it there another 2 tickets for the 17th here for me

  • i know when david gilmour's gonna be playing. it really is meant to be a secret though.

  • Now that's a great interview by a great interviewer and a majestic musician! I'm so glad I had the chance to see Mr Waters doing what he does best. Great man!

  • Going to see him 27th of May!

    Waters kicks major ASS

  • in three weeks i plan to make my way down the m1 from junction 32. i know where iam headed and i know how iam getting there just not sure what will become of me.

  • The concert was absolutely astonishing! i wish i get the opportunity to go to another one of Roger Water's shows! he is very right when he says that you have to watch the concert more than once to be able to grasp the whole concert! it was sublime!

  • lucky you!!!!! im so far away from the wall!!!! i ca imagine when gilmour sing comfortably numb in the top of the wall that will be the best moment of 2011....

  • i cried when i heard that david will play comfortably numb on one of rogers shows!!! wish i could witness that!13. of april,zagreb,here i come!!!
