Tainting Pink Floyd’s name to push his political views. What a jackass. I know Gilmour is a socialist but Atleast he doesn’t push his views at concerts in the bands name. Do it to your own songs not Pink Floyd’s.
Why is Roger Waters such a jackass?

Hes been doing this for decades.
Hes always been a bleeding heart liberal and, if you listen to his lyrics, they are almost always political.
I dont care, ive always liked PF and "The Wall" and "The Final Cut" are 2 of my favorite albums of all time......Waters wrote both.

So what is to like about it then? Him being a bleeding heart liberal and all.
Division bell and the endless river are mine.
Because its good music.
His music isnt necessarily liberal politics, just politics in general.
Alot about WW2 and the misery of an oppressive government.
Acctually listening to his words, you would assume his views are opposite what he preaches now.
Alot of talk of kikes, nips and ni**ers.
For me its the actual music.
The older stuff with Sid Barrett until the late 80s are what I listen to.

Who? Never heard of her.
Didn’t like when Syd was around. His music seems really trippy. But that’s what to expect from a schizophrenic. I’ve never understood these in the flesh lyrics
“Are there any queers in the theater tonight?
Get them up against the wall
There's one in the spotlight, he don't look right to me
Get him up against the wall
That one looks Jewish!
And that one's a coon!
Who let all of this riff-raff into the room?
There's one smoking a joint!
And another with spots!
If I had my way
I'd have all of you shot!”

Well,
The Wall starts with "Pink" a guy who grew up rough with an abusive mother. His father, whom he loved dearly, died in WW2.
Pink begins to build a metaphorical wall around himself to protect him from the world around him, including his teachers that abuse him also.
He becomes a rockstar but the wall continues.
At a point, he can no longer preform.
His manager hooks him up with a psychedelic drug to help him preform on stage.
During a fit of rage he almost kills a groupy and has hallucinations of being a Nazi, using his "brownshirts" to remove people he hated from his life.(this is where In The Flesh come in).
After coming down he realizes his insanity and tears down the wall.
Starting at the top of what I wrote, all the songs on the album fit in order pretty much.

Never been a fan. Still won't be. And here I thought "The Wall" was in reference to illegal immigration.

How does anyone enjoy a live show anymore with all the goddamn cell phones? WTF. You can't relive an event if you never actually lived it.

I always liked Pink Floyd. But I was always under the impression that they were stoned from about 1970 to today LOL
Their first album is nothing but noise. "The Wall" is still one of the greatest selling albums of all time.
actually, one of the greatest concerts I ever saw was Pink Floyd at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse. We took a Limo there, we were stoned 30 min into the concert and never touched a joint LOL just had to breath

The ADL are total racists themselves who would likely categorize 95% of the board members here as racists.
Anyway, I was never a fan, if it is not metal, especially death metal, to me it just is not music.

I agree on him always being a bleeding heart liberal, but don’t like the music. Hey everyone’s different and for now it’s a free country.
Mother by Pink Floyd is trumps song. Always said it since trump started to run, “mother should I build a wall” mother should I trust the government, mother should I run for President. Lol.
Maybe you meant my grandma! Lol

I've loved PF for decades. Best concert I ever saw was them performing A Momentary Lapse of Reason in '83 or '84. Outstanding light show to accompany the outrageous music.

Based on how he is now I’d have to agree. Syd has an excuse. Wonder what Rogers is
Excellent concert ! I was in that crowd somewhere. I actually saw Both Pink Floyd carrier dome concerts. The first in 87’( Momentary Lapse of reason) and then again in 94’ ( Division Bell)

He sucks, his music sucks,his ideas suck...bottom line is He and his group...SUCK
Nah. Pink Floyd hasn’t sucked since Syd was removed. After roger left it I feel like it actually became better. He was very controlling from what I heard.
