Could really use The Wall live concert from back in the day in these times of lockdown. Please finally release it, roger.
a youtube search will get you many vids
Which one are you talking about? The live wall concert from around 1980 has been on cd since the early 2000s
@@peterberg8417 the live wall, from 1980 was never officially released...but it's on youtube, as well as the most recent versions 1980 full show ua-cam.com/video/1nA3bI_V1fM/v-deo.html
@@drwhowho There are many vids, but Roger has the 4K scans
I also need cheering up
Waters is passionate, intelligent, and wise. He can be brutal and eloquent in the same sentence, and provides a very succinct, and accurate, description of how the ruling class maintains the status quo for their own benefit. Thank you, Roger, for not staying quiet.
$2,000 for a front row seat at his canceled Pittsburgh concert! Plus Pink Floyd's songs are 'HIS' songs? No wonder Gilmour and Mason nixed lets be pals again. Hypocrite!
@@mofiguy76 well in my opinion waters is a superior songwriter to gilmour and the others and he wrote some of the best floyd had to offer in my opinion if he wrote the songs they are his.
Roger Waters will forever be the group’s lyrical genius and thematic mastermind, Gilmour brought a stronger (and more versatile) voice, a knack for memorable melodies and guitar skills that place him among the greatest players of all time.
In easy to understand terms. Waters would not be where he is now without Gilmour. Comfortably Numb was the song that created the split between Gilmour and Waters. (That and when waters said he was leaving the band and the other 3 decided to stay together as Pink Floyd and Waters took them to court saying they couldn't be called 'Pink Floyd'. After a 2 year court battle, the judge ruled the 3 remaining band members could continue on as Pink Floyd and Roger Waters was 'NOT' Pink Floyd'.) Each had their own version. Gilmour's version was more Rock and Roll. Waters version was the typical depressing lyrics. The WALL Producer Bob Ezrin took both tapes of what each thought the song should sound like back to NYC. Ezin put together a master tape that included what he thought were the pest parts and that is what is on the album. If either were not in Pink Floyd, it wouldn't be the same Pink Floyd that was.
@@mofiguy76 have a look at the video link - in particular from 5:19 - 6:07 - this is what is important here - this is why Assange is in jail - and this is why Roger is doing his best to help him - as for Pink Floyd, I have never been a fan and I have no knowledge of the relationships that might exist at the moment between the members - furthermore I couldn't care less about who is pissed off with who over money and songwriting royalties. I would imagine that of the three remaining original members, Roger is the only one who has taken both personal and financial risks because of the principles that he refuses to compromise. I am sure that there are people in the US State Department who would like to see Waters in jail with Assange and I am equally sure that Roger has invested more of his money than either Gilmour or Mason in pursuing his firmly held belief that this is an issue of freedom of speech, not just for Assange, but for all whistle blowers and investigative journalists who dare reveal the war crimes of powerful states. Take a look - and think it over - best wishes to you !

@@mofiguy76 but they are HIS songs
roger please please release THE WALL film from 1980 on DVD / BLUE RAY remastered !
He, David, and Nick would all have to agree for it to be released because there are two different sets of rights going on with the footage and music.
the footage that is good thares not enough of. and the footage that thares a lot of is not good enough thare was talk about this years ago but thay came to the agrement that a live cd was realesed insted
Roger is a 75 years old young man, geniuos, funny, beautiful human
being, take care so much see you
next year at This Is Not A Drill,
I love you Rog, thank's for fighting
for Julian Assange freedom ❤
Well i pride myself on keeping up with these stories so am actually a bit surprised that i have never heard of this guy(Assange) but guess maybe i have been a bit too focused on the rampant Christian persecution in other 3rd world nations, or wherever people/citizens are just too weak too stand up against those in power, such as those stories covered on an almost daily basis at Persecution.org...(but just to be clear, i know everyone has the right to support any cause they so choose, or to ignore any others.)
Guess he sold his story to rolling stone
He gave it away
Would you take the Children away
And leave me alone?
no

@@bigdaz7272 I am not familiar with that lyrics. Had to google it to find out it was from the final cut. My last Pink Floyd album was "Wish you were here"...

Ha ha good one! I was actually thinking of listening to The Wall one more time these days...
U ROCK HUGH,, LOL.
💊💉🦠rotflmao🦠
Witty! On a serious note, today we lost a music icon. RIP Vera Lynn!
Hahahahahahaha
For an elderly gent Roger looks fantastic, sharp as a knife too 👍
He is a knob! A talented knob haha
People bash him for being reach like "what do you know about poverty?" well, at least he's not one of these out of touch celebrities who just live their lifes comfortably inside their mansions and don't say shit about the shit governament we have today.
He also is paying his employees the entire time of the pandemic. So at least Roger puts his money where his mouth is. And he’s actually helping people with his money
I would also ask, ‘then why do people keep voting for extremely wealthy politicians to represent them, if they feel it’s an issue? ‘ The logic seems a little skewed.
Most celebrities are comfortably numb in their Hollywood bubble
I’ll take a true ally wherever I can get them.
Roger Waters is one of the extremely few entertainers that actually is an intellectual and when he speaks his mind, in any medium, is actually worth listening to and spending time processing the message he’s trying to relay. His thinking is built on a platform of academically reasoned constructs instead of the typical vacuous opinions of almost all other entertainers who are mostly shallow narcissists trying to reflect the opinions of someone or something they saw on TV and have no comprehension of what they’re talking about.
You might disagree with what Waters says, but he would also be the first person to encourage you to do just that, provided your counter-arguments are also well founded and academically sound. He’s not an academic, he is the platform and means through which academic concepts can get translated into something the man-on-the-street can visualize and process, and he has the reach that academics can never achieve. When Waters talks, people should take the time to listen and actually contemplate what he’s saying. Waters is in the .1% of the 1 % of entertainers actually worth listening to for his opinions.
It’s truly a shame that he and Gilmour couldn’t continue their collaboration. Gilmour’s music was what made Pink Floyd go the distance, and Waters educational and sometimes prophetic lyrics were carried along on the ocean of sound that flowed from Gilmour’s hands. Together, they were greater than the sum of their individual parts. The only other two that had that level of integration were Lennon and McCartney. Partners like that come along so rarely that we haven’t seen the likes again in 50 years. We were lucky beyond all luck to have had two sets of partners during our lifetime. I hope our children will get the chance to witness even “one” such collaboration in their lifetime. Unfortunately, great partnerships like these two are as rare as Halley’s comet.
My 20 yr old daughters’ fella is a ‘ normal 25 yr old ‘ guy , uses all the current media and works as a manager at a chain Italian Restaurant - they play current music but on entering the kitchen the other night , Dark Side was playing . “ They are Unbelievable “ he said to me in a Revered tone...so indeed their music is still enjoyed and respected. I can’t stand the overplaying of “ classic rock “ music at the expense of all the undiscovered old and new music but PF at least - and CRASS amongst others had the knack of making folks take a sideways look at how The System is controlling everyone to their disadvantage. Although PF are a tad more accessible ! Let’s face it , The Final Cut and Mother of a Thousand Dead share exactly the same subject matter 🏴🙄❤️from Wessex
Doc Tari very well said
this is an entirely pretentious take on waters; however, i more or less agree with you.
@@newforestpixie5297 i enourage you to view the youth as not quite so deft and impersonal. people of all ages recognize what is right, without fail.
I love the man with all my being and every breath of my lungs
Best interview I ve seen in yrs. Roger seems to be the only one who knows whats going on and speaks his mind at the same time! Fabulous. Thank u Roger!!!
He’s Paul McCartney’s equal as a musical conceptualist. And Lennon’s as a lyricist. Massive talent.
You shan't compare a beetle with a stink bug. No one holds their nose when observing a Beatle. But a dung Beatle causes such a stink to those whom are truly affected by the words will either make a change or walk away. So who stopped the payment on your reality check?
This Waters is a poet fed- up with the capitalist "pigs" and the back-peddaling of the politics of North America as they'll say one thing and do another. How dare you have an opinion! Especially the U.nited S.ocialists in A.rms!!
Ummm, he's a far greater "musical conceptionalist" than McCartney, not his "equal." And he's a greater artistic genius overall.
He also blows Lennon away as a lyricist (and yes, I do know that Roger is a big Lennon fan).
@@roguescoop no Beatles, no Pink Floyd period. Just remember who influenced who.
One of my favorite human beings ever, I'm so honored to be living in and sharing the same era that this magnificent artist is living in.
That made my eyes water. Oh me too, me too ❤
His hair is still magnificent holy shit.
I'm a lifelong PF fan, and still have dark side in my CD player in my honda. Yep. Re: Roger... he's brilliant, but a bit annoying and cocky. Dave and Nick seem warmer, like they'd be easier to get along with. It's interesting how many great bands need these polar opposites in their chemical makeup.
He ought to do an album called “its funny you should say that”. It’s becoming a catch phrase of Roger Waters during this interview.
Great interview. Mr Waters has this marvellous ability to talk outspokenly, what many of us would balk at sharing with such venom so openly.👍
Roger is high in my list of people I’d like to sit and chat with for an evening, drink some wine, have a meal and share ideas.
About communism while looking down at the poor from his LA mountain mansion ?
@@gabkoost what makes you think he is a communist, your inherent stupidity, or your inherent bigotry ?
Old wave really 😂😂😂😂 suppose you both could sit there all night slagging if trump at least
@@gabkoost Negative comments on videos of people you don't like makes ya feel good, doesn't it?
Nothing wrong with your mental health.
btw, how many millions have you given to charity?
A lot of people don't like Roger at all because he speaks truth.
I love that freakin' guy because of that fact!
I just referred to Trumpty Dumpty as the Queen Ant giving subliminal messages to his worker drones to Liberate the States that aren't Republican run. And then in this interview, he kind used the same analogy. That f#@ked me up a little.
i cant wait to see the show when this is all over. i think "Amused to Death" is an absolute masterpiece.
Greatest theme album ever, and the only one he never performed in its entirety - I'll forever be bummed by that
It's beautiful to see someone who cares. And depressing as fuk to realise this is not common anymore...
Loved this interview, and I fully agree with what Roger has to say. For myself it's been a shocking lesson as to how many aren't getting this, it truly seems like a matrix we are living in, committing the same crimes against humanity over and over. Still want to believe, but it's difficult. Thank you!
We're living through the most dangerous social "experiment" ever conducted- one that's being run by a mindless chunk of RNA. Good luck, humans- hope we pass the test.
People don't understand the problem with life is our sin.
It is like a frequency , I believe ! Some us see , here, feel and smell in a particular wave lenght or frequency ! We are currently sensing this wave length but like a radio there is many other wave lengths around us that we can flow into as easy as changing a radio station !
Great interview, Roger speaking from the heart as always and not afraid to speak his truth, well done.
I so love Roger, hope he has many years and great health ahead of him
He’s come so far emotionally from a young man suing the other members over use of the name he’s actually a great guy extremely intelligent and real
For once, an intellectually rich person with something incredibly valuable to voice is interviewed by someone who is capable of extracting great responses and this is not distilled into under 5 minutes of 2020s low-attention-span journalism! Thank RS for posting this and taking the time to allow Waters' to voice his full and complete views on our painfully ugly predicament. Well done!
“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.”
― Frank Zappa
This virus is definitely pulling back the curtain.
WOW Was that is a Carson interview - or ? please?
this is a very powerful quote

Are you having a nice time?
Now the final solution can be applied.
Loved it. Would love to have a pint with you Roger. Great interview giving the interviewee an opportunity to express their views unlike the dickeds in the UK - mentioning no names Piers!
Anybody else ever notice how humorous Roger Waters is?
Lighten up, mate.
What a joy to hear such an intelligent, forthright and observant rock star as Roger Waters.
👍🏼
I admire Roger Waters because of what keeps him awake and what makes him get out of bed. Roger Waters is a great reference.
I'm glad he wasn't awarded commander of the british empire, or something like that.
Thank you, Roger.
Roger Waters is a beautiful human being. 🙏
An inspiring, intelligent. thought provoking man.
Two wrongs never make a right. Lesser evil paves the way to greater evil.
Roger, it would be wise for you all to consider a temp reunion, ... nothing binding. I am of an age where I first saw your band in the late sixties in the Calif.....ballroom? in the home counties where you performed See Emily Play.The bands latest hit then. My point being this, take an example from the Beatles. Now however much they would love to get back together it is now impossible. Moral is, do not throw away our/your brothers because they may be your saviour. Be like the Musketeers. Besides you are missing some new fans. Life is too short and precious.
They quieted you Roger. Not mad, just very disappointing. :-(
The new battle should be against the powers that are taking the freedom away from the people and shame on them for intimidating everyone.
love Roger Waters humanitianism
Got to admire the consistent level of thoughts and ideas Rogers has shared with us over the years. His enthusiasm is never ending. And I just love his ideas, his lyrics and all his music. Many more years Roger ❤️👍x
At 25:07 I concur with Roger while I disagree on Trump. Reagan and Trump were only two Presidents I enjoyed. I loathed both Bushes, Clinton, Obama and Dementia Joe.
Roger Waters is one of the FEW celebrities who actually GETS what is going on! He sees it clearly and he openly talks about it! And that is why I love him now and have loved him and Pink Floyd for over 30 years! I first watched "The Wall" at Moscow State University in what was then the USSR, with a group of Russian students. They LOVED that movie because it spoke to them about what they had just experienced with the wall coming down, both physically and metaphorically within their own lives. One of those students is a lifelong friend and is now a diplomat with the Russian Foreign Ministry, and he STILL loves Pink Floyd and he went to see Roger Waters recently in concert in Moscow. He believes like I do and it can best be summed up as: FUCK THE PIGS!
👍🏼
Roger Waters is the fucking man.
"I hate parties. I don't want to talk to strangers. I don't want to make new friends." Fucking legend.
Sad that ppl don't have the guts to be as natural (opinionated, and honest) as Roger. I know its his job, but even the interviewer is being fake.
Very grateful to have seen this and been a fan for all these years...Roger...rock on!
The strategy is divide and conquer. Keep everyone fighting and arguing in a state of confusion and then steal the prize while they're not looking.
Those you may think are your enemy may well be your allies. It is hard to 'agree to disagree' and work together for the greater good, but it is important to try, because it is exactly what 'they' don't want us to do.
One thing you can count on with Roger. He's gonna tell you how he feels and most of the time he's right.
It made my whole year, to FINALLY HEAR ONE OF THE FLOYD MEMBERS IN GENERAL ACTUALLY ACKNOWLEDGE CORPORAL CLEGG, AND HOW ITS A GOOD FUCKING SONG
Love you Roger Waters: See you in 2021.
God David Gilmour.... GET OVER THE LAWSUIT ALREADY!!!! Do you really need Roger to apologize for suing Pink Floyd decades ago just for the surviving members to finally bury the hatchet??? Then tell him so he can do it, move on, and release some stuff we’ve been craving for decades!!!!
i love david gilmour of course. but roger waters is a founding member of pink floyd. these two gentleman need to settle their differences. why ? because of us, the pink floyd fans. we need more music from them. they are not getting any younger.
No more miserable music please From these so called geniuses .Retire Please,Gilmores got that right attitude to it nowadays.
I love Roger so much with his very deep intuative real soul surreal lyrical genius story telling!! He's 1 in a INFINITY💫💜😏It's like we are soul connected in our way of thinking and if I ever could have 1 awesome personal wish of anything in my life (59 yrs. young)! I would want to just meet him and sing 1 song with him! I saw Pink Floyd in 88 when the pig got stuck on the wire when they played, Foxboro Stadium in Mass at the time! Although Roger wasn't with Floyd at that time! That was the only bummer! 🌕🌑💜💋✌💫🎵🎸
I love this man . Such a big talent, such a passion. Legend and hero ; Roger Waters !
THANK YOU Sir Roger Waters for being WHO you are! 💜😎
Not a knight.
Dave's got an MBE though.
tryptychUK David got an CBE.
Thank u 4 seein the Truth. God bless u.
Roger Waters did a five-hour long interview in the 80s where he talked about drugs, the band, his life, everything. Does anyone know where I can find that interview?? Anyone??
I believe I heard parts of that in the 90s on my loclz rock station. I've been searching for that for a while myself
Do you mean the Redbeard interview? It's on youtube somewhere - there are one or two channels which have it up in hour long segments.
@@lapelcelery42 Hi, thanks for the reply. I can't find anything on "Redbeard Roger Waters" on UA-cam. Do you have any links you could share??
I don't know who conducted the interview I'm talking about. I only heard about it because I saw an old video from the 80s on UA-cam of Roger Waters getting frustrated at a journalist for asking boring questions and Roger says "Please listen to my 5-hour-long "XYZ" interview I did recently where I talk about Pink Floyd, drugs, and question you can think of" or something like that. Man, I would love to listen to that interview.
@@HelpMeFindTheseSongs He said it was with a guy called Jim Ladd, this could be part of it ua-cam.com/video/wxtT9ZT75vs/v-deo.html
Roger is an idealist. What he does not see is that America has become a failed experiment. Its beyond fixable now. Too late. He would be better off in another country, and far happier. Staying in America will only drive him mad.
Seeing Roger and hearing him speak, as I just passed the 40 day mark of lockdown, put a huge smile on my face!
I like you now you know it's embarrassing I often blush racy memories are so exciting and hearing your authentic voice who could really match you wirklich ?remember my dear when you were in your apartment at Frederica manor in Chula vista at 3rd and d you told or yelled at me about your favourite axe and I disappeared hid escaped into the dusty curtains I always seem to fall in love with madmen especially when they express themselves so well with anger emotion and erudition . Sometimes for fun I pretend you are my boyfriend I call you Wagner a master of opera and the gotterdamerung it's an exciting fantasy if you would like to play along you may call me Lara and of course I'll be your favourite Valkyrie and I'll surprise you and sing to you the best of Mozart from die zauberflote yes the magic flute my favourite aria of all besides the penultimate scene of Carmen which exited me when I imagine you as Errol Flynn well back to the magic flute I sing dies bildnis ist berzaubend schon over and over again it's always pleasure with me you know and I'm often satisfied because you make your own luck in this world and you certainly have and I so admire your career I especially love in the flesh DVD circa 2000 and the final cut from many years before where you express yourself so well and reach great heights of communication and lead me to listen to it again and again and feel new sensations the triumph of the Falklands war and the signing of the rubber stamp by king George and Southampton dock all your talent thus displayed pleasrs me a lot.hitler quoted from the Bible and said often arbeit Macht frei and it is true I think your constant dedicated work has set you free for all time always remember you are a special man not just to me but to everyone so today I thank you very much for sharing your talents so generously with me and everyone so again I say I love you with no strings attached because your photos and your songs on you tube and the internet always make me happy and feel my best ! Take care and don't forget to look up videos of Paul McCartney and wings and Judas priest and of course yourself to keep the faith and keep up on happy things oh yes call me a fool but may I share my best advice take time to relax and enjoy a coca cola with a smile America's best food product and still at a low price ! Lieber , Lara.
"Most people can sit by a brook and look at a Buttercup and hear a Skylark and feel an upwelling of joy in their hearts."......THIS is what I take from this and THIS IS LOVE!!!!! Thank you Roger!!!!
David Gilmour always wanted a quiet life, a suburban world - Roger on the other hand wanted to question everything, including the education system, Gilmour is on record saying Waters was wrong to write "Another Brick In The Wall," and there lies the difference between them.
I doubt very much if Waters regrets that song.
Gilmour always stated he was never invited to write songs but Waters says at the beginning of an album he'd ask what music they had - usually nothing.
The millennial just begging for Roger to say we can’t tour til the vaccine... good Lord, that generation expects someone else to make them safe.
No matter where or whatever they always bring up politics. I don't know about anybody else but I would like a few minutes of music and entertainment without it.
Yeah just give us the music.
At 3:00, Roger, they might be all your songs but not most of your music, BIG DIFFERENCE when it comes to Floyd MUSIC!
Roger wrote most of the music..
Loyal Opposition for the wall and the final cut yes. But their best songs are all Gilmour and Wright dominated music. He even closes all his shows with Gilmour’s comfortably numb music. Roger is very insecure about it all which is why he’s forever trying to take a disproportionate amount of the credit. I think that’s why he’s so much more immersed in politics now too, he knows he’s a spent force musically and it’s his way of staying relevant . There’s also a reason why his post Floyd work is almost all musically sub-par.
Syd Alan a progression. Without progression they never would of recorded dark side of the moon, animals etc says something pink floyd only managed 2 ok at best albums without roger, 3 if you class endless river as an album
kjek1 the division bell album also has its political moments. I seem to remember also a song named dogs of war on momentary lapse of reason
Tacticool having a few political songs I’d absolutely fine, but you won’t remember David Gilmour cropping up everywhere and anywhere to tell people of various nationalities who to vote for and how they should be living their lives. Nor will you see him tour the world with a massive political PowerPoint display whilst spending the majority of the show pretending to sing to pre-recorded vocals.
I fucking love Roger Waters. I want to go listen to The Final Cut all the way through again and play Paranoid Eyes on guitar.
Great interview with Roger Waters
I love Roger, but the certainty of atheism is so childish; it's just a belief among others, as theism is.
Saw you when I was seventeen and here I am again watching you. I admire your genius and how you stuck it all out it's not easy.
Thoroughly enjoyed this. As Orwell said, ‘in a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.’

No, Orwell didn't actually say/write that quote. Quick google will explain.
I love this man with all my heart. Roger Waters music has always been deep layered genius and he has always been on the right side of history. Using his platform for shining light on truth.

I’m so sick and tired of reading comments of people bitching about who is better…Roger or David. For Christ sakes, they are both amazingly talented human beings. They ALL created and contributed to Pink Floyd. And they all have wonderful solo careers. I wish people would stop pitting them against each other and comparing them, and just enjoy their talents and their music.
What an amazing interview. Roger Waters is an inspiration.
Absolutely speechless.... The one thing I can say though, Roger Waters is a fucking legend!
Waters sharp as ever. Great job by the interviewer. Many gems in this interview. Best of all, the emphasis on American exceptionalism, the curse of this country. Also, I did not to what point he supported Bernie, but it is now clear. He's disappointed in the DNC like so many more.
Go Roger!!!!!! You’re one of our great living Freedom Fighters!!
Roger For President!!! 🥰😷😎🇲🇽🌹💜🌎🌍🌏
Roger Waters 💎 N° 1
I love the fact that they had a democratic vote on having a democratic vote and they voted no by 2 to 1
Imagine if he proposed Final Cut. Dave had just ordered a restraint order against him
Would you sell your stoooryyy to rooolling STOOOOOOOONE....
I love "old Rog". Brilliant interview. Thank You!
Many of us lived it on a scaled down level but, abusive none the less,, in the "family" and dealt with child abuse where you should be the most protected. Now, older people are getting it because people didn't pay attention, and in fact, were IN ON IT,, when it was happening to the most innocent. I spoke out, resisted abuse since I was 7 in 1971 and I was the one people criminalized, silenced and gaslit while excusing the abuser in "power". So, the People are the ones who built this prison we are Now living in because they were willing to throw the innocent under the bus to protect these now Sociopaths on a scaled unimaginable. I chose Health as the direction because of the trauma,, most people didn't and chose the $. So this is what you get. "Adults" are Not victims, children are. People could have followed me and they treated me like I was stupid when it was THEM who was stupid!
Activism is good but his level of anger seems off-the-charts. It seems as though he can't manage relationships with bandmates or spouses alike. Four divorces and counting.
Understatement. Great music, I'll pass on him otherwise.
There's plenty to be angry about. Long may he continue.
This is what he is angry about - particularly 5:19 -6:07
ua-cam.com/video/Af5jP5UYKLg/v-deo.html
And while we are here - his personal relationships are none of your business
If you criticize the apartheid israel, why does this zionist interviewer have to bring up China and Russia? And why does he has to throw that "Well if CHOMSKY says to vote for Biden" shit as if we're all going to throw our principles away to vote for either Trump or Biden, who aren't even worth leaving your house for. RS has a history of being wrong on ALL music. Seriously, go back and look for yourself. One writer will get attention for saying "Pink Floyd is a fad" and when they come out with "Dark Side....." they hire a different writer to say how great it is. They keep doing this. The Doors, Led Zeppelin, etc..
There is no "Apartheid" in Israel, Jews Christians and Arabs all have equal rights and the Palestinians in the territories have their own government, if it sucks balls that's their problem. Meanwhile in China a million Muslims are sent to be re-educated in concentration camps by the communist regime, so why wouldn't the interviewer ask about that, if you care so much about the plight of oppressed people in the world?

...We did as we were told

...It was the greatest show on earth
But then it was over
...We oohed and aahed
We drove our racing cars

Roger waters I love you!!!
Pink Floyd started and ended in tragedy (Syd and Rick), and Roger and David not really talking with each other...
The fans want it to finish the PROPER WAY:
David and Roger becoming best friends by nature; their memories completely wiped clean from all the beef, and work on a new album TOGETHER surrounding the current global situation under the songwriting credits PINK FLOYD. And then the final bang. THE WALL Tour in late 2021. Then after that, we want Dave Roger and Nick to retire together and spend the rest of time laughing their heads off.
Sounds like a plan? Yes? 🙂
*Never, never, never, never, never gonna' happen... Let it go... Let it go*
Man I wish this would happen but gotta agree with The Legend 313
Chris Cross I know that. I said “become” best friends, not “become friends again”. And they will be getting back together.
I’ll see you on the other side 👍
I wish! Well said.
I love Roger !!!
well said Roger. If only there were more like you
Roger's greatest flaw has always been that he thinks his opinions are way more important than they really are.
No - this is what he thinks is important

i think he shoulda ran for president
It's a beautiful thing to see a real artist fighting against the ruling class and sticking up for the underdog. This man is a true hero.
My favourite part is where he cares so much for the underdog he's charging $200 for tickets to his shows.
@@skypekai shoot more than that. However I have seen his last 2 tours and I never once thought i wasn't getting my money's worth
@@skypekai Then you must be such an underdog you didn't spend two minutes to find tickets for $65 like I did.
@@LoyalOpposition congrats but you completely failed to form an argument
Great interview..it's like he's sat on your sofa killing time. He's right in how Governments work and it's not just the US it's all Governments. We believe in a world we're told to believe in and if you stray you're punished.
But Roger what about the alternative to Trump??... Killary.... or creepy Joe Biden? Please enlighten me of your alternative. Thanks.
he's pretty much saying that there is no alternative, no decent candidate left
His alternative is Bernie Sanders
Bernie Sanders
Wow - 76! Keep going as your body feels. You're fantastic and inspirational. Ha, I thought I was doing good teaching over 40 years; lately and presently, 15 years in Asia :) . I'm a youngster at 69. Love your music; my favorite!
No interest in religion, but Roger is the class: Worldview 101
Roger- you are such a talented and intelligent treasure.. Thank you for never being quiet. Please keep pointing out and shouting at all that is wrong and unjust. We are listening...
45:15 sounds kinda like grantchester meadows - a waters classic
Jackson Barrett I thought same thing
Love ♡ always been here.
love him even more, doesn't look like i'll see him in july, toronto
The only thing that bothered me is that Roger would be in the middle of something compelling and they'd do an edit! Where's the uncut version?
Anyway, good on him for keeping his employees on the payroll, presumably into the middle of next year!
Makes me so happy that Roger was rooting for Bernie and it's really nice to know he still lives by the lyrics he wrote decades ago. It's such a damn shame how he's tried to schedule a temporary "truce" with David for the fans but just can't seem to get through to him. Now is the perfect time to heal these old wounds.

Strangers walking down the street by chance 2 passing glances meet, and I am you and what I see is me
- Can I hear you
- Ahh, can YOU hear me
- I fucking can
