Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters Ruins the Song ‘Money’!

As a lifelong PF fan since 1965, Waters is a narcissist.  He single handily ruined one of the best groups to come out of the 60’s through early 80’s.   He talked Gilmour and Mason into firing Rick Wright during The Wall recordings because he didn’t think Rick was doing his fair share.  Rick was going through a nasty divorce at the time, but narcissist Roger didn’t care.  
 

Waters politics certainly don’t agree with mine and that is fine but I refuse to go to any more concerts by him.  He should not be spewing his political views during the shows and telling people if you don’t like his views, to F off at the bar.  These people paid upwards of $150.00 to see him, no one wants to see or care about his views.  Like I said, a life long PF fan, but not of Waters, he is a tool.   
 

To the person who said he wrote the song, he can do what he wants.  That is half true, he wrote the lyrics only, Gilmour and Wright wrote the music. 

That’s hilarious! If it weren’t for singing, the tempo and the execution, it would be great!

People don’t like artists who make waves or make them feel uncomfortable about the moral choices of the society around them. Ironically, that’s what makes them interesting in the first place, but push it just a little bit and the punishment is swift. Not pointing a finger at anyone here but it happens all the time.

Quite right.

Artists like Baez, Lennon and Morrissey, to name just 3, have all received their fair share of flak for going against the official narrative.

Yet hundreds of others got off Scott free by towing the party line and paying it lip service.

If I remember correctly, the notorious John Lennon/Yoko Ono/ Plastic Ono Band LP Some Time in New York City got an almost across the board roasting at the time of release for some of its politically charged subject matter.

Someone, somewhere seemed to be highly offended back then.

The ironic thing is that now, in 2023, some 50 years later, hardly anything on it would raise an eyebrow.

Perhaps the issue here is whether we regard Waters as a performer or an artist?

I think we all know how Roger sees himself.

I, for one, can only respect him for that.

@stereo5 ,

Well said!

I didn’t think it was relevant or interesting to comment on Pink Floyd’s music. But I see it’s become a thread. I also think they are overrated, vastly...
