Roger Waters - "What God Wants Part 1" conceptual video 1992

[VoodooVuich89]

Roger is amazing. Jeff Beck put an interesting feel to this with his guitar playing .. Pure genius

[b105cz]

I can't get it out of my mind...the part after 4:00 is pure genius...

[Belgarath98]

Roger not sounding his best here. You've got to remember, though, that between 1990 and 2008, he was continually troubled with throat problems.

[Belgarath98]

@Belgarath98 Still amazing though!

[dufortrph]

@tjrtherocksponge Thanks for clarifying -- I agree w/ your statements. You are obviously a well-informed fan. Have you had a chance to catch Rog on his current tour?

[dufortrph]

@tjrtherocksponge "Momentary Lapse" was a Waters solo album? Can you explain that a little more in-depth?  Dying to hear that...

[HumbleTravelR]

Timeless,as relevant today as the day it was written.

god wants disease…

[boborace21]

This song never got the respect it deserved.

[zsezse215]

Does he say "God wants Google?"

this song came out in 1992.

Google wasn't around until the 2000's.

God Wants Everithing, But He Don't Make Something

[dufortrph]

If this album said "Pink Floyd" on it, it would have sold eighty billion copies. And critics would have called it their best since "The Wall", or even "Dark Side"

Unlike Gilmour, Roger does NOT need his wife to write the lyrics.

[duckndive1963]

@dufortrph But he does need Jeff Beck to play the ferkin Guitar

[dufortrph]

@duckndive1963 Not really an accurate analogy, because Waters is not a lead guitarist. Gilmour is an amazing guitarist -- one of the best ever -- but he's just not a good songwriter when it comes to lyrics. He has admitted that himself. The majority of the lytrics "Momentary Lapse of Reason" and "The Division Bell" were written by people who were not members of Pink Floyd. And, IMO, Beck plays amazing lead on this song.

what GOD wants  GOD Gets!!

[DudeSpectre]

I love the bits where Roger pulls off on the bass near the end of each line, it gives it a real punch. Becks guitar work is simply exquisite and the female backing singers really give the song power.

[elysha26]

Roger Waters is GOD to me.

[JesusGaveMeNewSoul]

@elysha26 Jesus Christ is God to me.. and the Father... :) if you really want to connect to God, I mean literally connect, be ONE with God, then hear me out: youtube(DOT)com/watch?v=b6FTS8­G6ZAE

"God wants peace God wants war God wants famine God wants chain stories What God wants God gets God wants sedition God wants sex God wants freedom God wants semtex What God wants God gets" Written a decade before any of us had heard of George W Bush or suicide bombers.

[1michelemichele1]

Waters is still touring with "Amused to Death" though. In 1992, who would have known it'd prove to be so prescient ten years later?

(YT's edit function, you can post this one, thanx)

The magnificent albino gorilla in this video was called Copito de Nieve,he lived at Barcelona Zoo where he died of skin cancer on Nov 24th 2003. There are some great articles about him on the web. The reason he was grimacing at 00:27s is because his eyes were so sensitive to the light. He was also on the cover of a Basement Jaxx album.

[FloydianSinan]

In my opinion, it's the best song from Amused To Death

[gannibus]

amazing video amazing song

[garymilli]

the comment underneath mine says he never rated jeff beck until he heard this tune ,shame on him ! does he think waters would get just anyone to play on his songs after hed been spolit with having god on the guitar (in the guise) of DAVE GILMORE.also beck and page replaced clapton in john mayhalls blues breakers,so you could say hes not too bad a guitarist !!!

[gannibus]

Jeff Back gave Jimmy Page his psychedelically painted stret....Page used it on every album and the Gibson on stage'

General,you're completely right about the legendary Jeff Beck...

[actuk]

Never rated Jeff Beck util I heard this album. Stunning!

[Helena1204]

Richard Gere in its experimental face...great song, great album... it took me like 10 times to listen the album to find it great ..any way is good.

[nutell0]

ladies and gentleman, jeff beck on the guitars.bass and guitars very angry that rocks at high levels. but a part of this very good song; expecially in the bridge part it's understandable as a Waters song. respect for the genius.

[ladypinkfloyd]

he is the hottest man in rock, i play bass too and this bass line is a backward version of another brick in the wall pt. 2. ..... which is cool.

[RaggedTiger70]

I think they used that same fish footage during "Breathe" in the early '70s....

[PirateKing12345]

Cool.
