EX-FLOYD ROGER WATERS TO GET ENVIRO-POLITICAL AT COACHELLA?

[brb0713]

The wealthy use by far the most carbon but want to tax the poor back into our caves naked ofcourse hudled around a highly illegal candle for warmth

[SenorPabloHerrera]

I wish I never saw this video, I just lost a whole lotta respect for Waters.

[at90percent]

If there is any doubt as to why there isn't "Peace on Earth" just read YouTube comments for 5 minutes. lol

[maronfan]

It was an awesome show and the politics made it much more powerful and deep. Waters has used sociological and political influences in his music for years. Water's was the dark genius that made Floyd so great.

[rockyfree2rhyme]

is this a neo nazi video!! lol wtf....... floyd all the way!!!

[lionhasalreadybe]

fraid wates is loosing his mind. All that enviro crap is just a bunch of nonsense signifying nothing. carpool! HAH! What about the damn bankers taking over the world!?!?! global warming my asS!!

[BADLY656]

waters is an incredibly intelligent man, if you ever get a chance listen to his original version of breathe on music from the body with ron geesin, this is a man who has cared about enviromental issuses since 1970 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ninjaplz223]

sorry guyz!!will find a bloody body in you closet hauting you and will kill you and ur family if you dont send this to 6 videos in 30 mins good luck!

[keysersozay]

Waters is still an asshole! You are not we. You are a European. Where do you go for hralthcare you asshole? America I guess and now you want to help screw that up too. Piss off!

[snoopy2B2]

The United States of America Was rated 27th in the world in Infant Mortality in the world in 2008. Meaning 26 other countries had less children die in thier first year. Do you really think thats good healthcare?

[bobalu1000]

you take on 30 million Negroes who are not that far evolved from apes and see what your statistics are....

[floyd0freak]

He lives in New York, genius. Do your homework before you rant on him.

And our health care does suck eggs, get over it.

[keysersozay]

It only sucks if you are on welfare, which explains your comments dickhead!

[floyd0freak]

Being on welfare does not affect intelligence, jerk. But go ahead and live your happy, worry-free life while thousands of Americans suffer from health problems because they can't afford the treatment and health care won't cover it. Asshole.

[bobalu1000]

Environment dictates and welfare affects intelligence....dipshit!

[bobalu1000]

Blacks want to bring down the White race to their level...that's equal, see.

Anyway, more Black slaves today than 1865...

[srikanthb23]

do the world a favor and go kill yourself. racist pig.

[robsongracie]

personaly i think Barrett made a point 40 years ago, he was telling the guy's " have you got it yet " but they dident see it back then. It will all come soon

[noyaenermy]

Roger Waters Global warming is a TAX TAX TAX

Its just the NWO elite's excuse to use their weather Warfare HAARP

Google video HAARP and New World Order

[lionhasalreadybe]

Roger and pink floyd I lovem, but they probably live in the false left right paradigm. they need to just stick to playing good music.

[Polterguist]

@noyaenermy Fail.

[jerryskid1]

Waters has always been political.

[pullybrit]

Shiiiiiiit, I just love how all these environmentalist whackos all live in mansions, drive in limos, fly in Learjets, and have unfettered media access. Makes me wonder who the real silent voices are in this world!

[Bluesub6]

I love how neo-cons get themselves so off declaring leftist/pro-environment sentiments as "propoganda" or "hackneyed slogans" while doing aboslutely nothing to actually discredit or disprove any of it.

Too many commentators on this post sound like Ann Coulter-wannabes, you know, the types who think the phrase "Hannity's America" sounds like a pretty good idea.

"Waters cheapened his own art?" Sounds like somebody might not have understood it to begin with.

[joetaiwan1]

Environmentalist claims have been disproven time and time again by countless experts and in countless documents. But more importantly history itself has disproven environmentalist claims. People just need to remember the numerous doomsday scenarios,that were highly publicized by the media, that just never came true It's amazing that people fall for this stuff time and time again. But isn't proof beside the point to environmentalists? It's not a provable philosophy. It's a religious faith.

[zildenela]

You are such a tool. Do you get paid by the word or just spout off for free?

[joetaiwan1]

Name calling is not a rational form of argumentation. You must be on the left.

[herreraelvis]

I was there & it was the best show I've ever been too! Roger Waters for Prez!

Oh & I knew from the opening song that it was to be a show of a life time.

[LovePeaceNFreedom]

Hey, herreraelvis. It was the best I'd ever been to, as well. Haha, Roger Waters for Prez... I recall that when he did "Mother" and sang, "Mother, should I run for President?" I got so caught up in how great the show was that I yelled out, "Yes, you fucking should!" Although, he obviously couldn't be our president since he isn't an American-born citizen. Despite that he obviously couldn't hear me either, I still responded to the next line, "Mother, should I trust the government?" with "Fuck no!"

[joetaiwan1]

And to use a gorgeous artistic statement like "Dark Side of the Moon," to bring people into a political revival meeting, is an artistic desecration.

Yes, Dark Side has some political content. So, does "The Wall." But they are about so much more. (There's a difference between art and propaganda.)

Waters has cheapened his own art!

[secretMachine]

Launching confetti with Obama written all over littering the desert floor doesn't sound too environmentally sane. The people of Indio are raising a fuss out here because of it. There is also a reward for the lost pig float that flew away during Roger's set at Coachella.

[joetaiwan1]

Good point. And he did this after he was expressly forbidden by the organizer's from doing it.

So much for honesty and integrity.

[hahacheezitsarefun]

Joetalwan1You seem like some uneducated fool who wants to make a statement on social issues but clouded when you open your mouth to speak because you stick your foot in your mouth. Waters and Gilmoure are the few who make an effort to change the world. Gilmoure has given up his luxury to live on a boat and help the homeless. Waters is part of many civil rights organizations. What have you done for this world? Get out of your obsessive compulsive world and do something you foolish complainer.

[torachan72]

Just to be straight, it's Gilmour.

[joetaiwan1]

Hey-Did you guys hear that Roger Waters has a new song out?

I got a sneak preview. It goes like this:

"War is bad. It's really, really bad.

War is bad. It's really, really bad.

War is bad. It's really, really bad."

I was blown away by it. The sheer subtlety of it. The degree of introspection required to create it. The nuances. Just amazing.

[agrymin003]

Sure joetaiwan1 .. what about theme "LIVING BEIRUT", thats new.

[joetaiwan1]

Thanks for your reply. I think "Leaving Beirut," is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. It's just a long political rant, filled with hackneyed leftist slogans. I don't like it when artists get political because they generally don't know what they're talking about. They have a right to be political of course, but if they feel they have to, they should at least be well written. Look at the political lyrics of Bruce Springsteen or Elvis Costello. I don't agree but at least they do it well.

[torachan72]

"Hackneyed leftist slogans?" Isn't that a "hackneyed right-wing slogan?" Roger Waters is one of the greatest lyricists of our time. I wish I had an ounce of the talent that man has. What in God's--oops--the heck are you talking about? Elvis Costello?

[echoe87]

rogers a great guy. talented and smart. and "joetaiwan1", u obviously arent educated. how can u be a capitalist and be a socialist at the same time. and if u think he uses a lot of energy for a show, you should consider red hot chili peppers, they run up the bill. but u have to understand that his service to the world is producing great music. how will he play he doesnt use energy. u have to take the bad with the good. overall, ive seen waters four times and he has always put on a great show

[joetaiwan1]

Roger Waters is a continental ignorant fool. The man is an uneducated cliche monger. He knows nothing about science or economics.

He's also a hypocrite-a wealthy capitalist who loves socialism-an environmentalist who uses tons of energy in his shows. Give me a break!

[daveveerman]

And with major did you graduate in???? And what have you achieved in your life???? Give me a break talking about a cliche monger!!!

[matt72582]

Great video, greatest band, thanks for putting this up, keep up the great word of spreading great music, instead of this American I-Dull bullshit they call entertainment.

[thehowlingterror]

Hey make it really green..CANCEL
