Pure genius. You can see how completely committed to his audience he is in this interview. Passionate about every aspect of his show and performance, so connected to his music and visuals. I wish I saw him live at this stage of his career, I'm sure it would have been spectacular.
I usually never laugh at comments but this one made me chuckle. Well done greetings hope you are alive well and healthy as for your loved ones and family as well. Greetings from Buffalo New
At the end of this interview, Roger Waters refused to answer the question about The Wall. Due to Roger's rejection, MTV stopped promoting The Pros And Cons of Hitch Hiking. Therefore, the channel did not air video clips of Sexual Revolution and Every Stranger's Eyes. Consequently, the album and its tour suffered from lack of this support.
David Gilmour had no issues with MTV. In fact, David embraced MTV for the About Face album and tour. Also when Pink Floyd continued without Roger, they were Team Gilmour.
Roger is currently worth about 290 million dollars and Dave, about 180 million. So it all worked out for both of them. They are both musical geniuses. However Roger is on another plane intellectually.
14:27 - "Oh for fuck's sake, stop letting off fireworks and shouting and screaming.. I'm trying to play the song.. some people want to listen to it.. I want to listen to it.."
I think people forget how much of a role the spectacle of their shows played in making PF one of the most legendary rock bands. I think there's no doubt that was all Roger's doing. Love listening to his passion for the work he did and still does
Poor Nina Blackwood is visibly hurt looking after the camera cuts to her at the end as Waters dissed her questions about The Wall. She must have felt humiliated yet Waters doesn't seem to care on iota. I've never seen this interview and thank you, Zuriah Heap, for posting it. I went to the Pros & Cons show in 1985 in Atlanta, Georgia. It was an awesome experience.
and, I wouldn't have cared either if someone was hurt, if they asked me a question I didn't care to answer. It's on them if they are bothered by it. I need to stand up for what I don't want to answer, I can't worry about how it affects someone.
He gave a perfectly reasonable explanation for not answering. BTW, even in the Jim Ladd interview he referred to he refused to answer a few questions. The CBS 60 Minutes reporter who interviewed Roger described him as "prickly."
I saw the Pros and Cons show in LA. The auditorium was almost full but, as he says here, he had trouble selling tickets in other places. Once, in Cleveland (I think) he played to 1500 people whilst Pink Floyd Lite sold out a stadium on the same night playing HIS songs, an event Roger called "character forming." But he built up his solo career and broke records with his Wall tour. And now, at long last, he has become a house hold name and has been granted the Rock God status he deserved all along. It is so gratifying to see my favorite artist get this late career peak. Rock on Roger.
"Roger Waters details the set and production design for his "Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking" solo tour, and touches on the album itself, in this unaired MTV interview from 6-21-84."
you can tell by this interview he has "leader" written all over his personality. so for other members of PF to have had a say about how to produce something with him, it had better be something good and compelling otherwise a guy like this is just going to ignore you and do his own thing, until you prove him otherwise.
@@mohammadghalandary4780 At least he didn't cheapen the name "pink Floyd" for profit like Gilmour did. Did you notice that after John Lennon died not ONE of the remaining band members paraded around with a fraud act that they called "The Beatles?" That's called "integrity."
Nina Blackwood(sp?) was a very good interviewer in addition to being one of MTV"s original "VJ's;" You can tell she's a fan and is admirer of Roger's work, and I think he picked up on it too; This was just a year before all hell broke loose, when Roger resigned from Pink Floyd, rebuffing the record companies attempts to get them to make a new, Pink Floyd record. The animosity that was around the corner would be "trending" for months if this happened today.
Yes, Jim Ladd toured with him playing himself as a radio DJ at "RADIO KAOS." I would guess that the interview was 5 hours and cut down to a lot less. I probably still have the edited version on cassette. It was for a program called "InnerView" and was all about The Wall.
I probably still have the edited version on cassette. It was for a program called "InnerView" and was all about The Wall. The final version was not 5 hours.
When she asks "Do you miss the bandmates?," you can tell that he's totally angry at them. It's crazy about what he talks about right after, on how he's struggling to sell tickets to his shows. I thought pink floyd was so much more popular back then, but then again this was the 80s and the synthwave movement and just great music, was all around during this time.
Pink Floyd were still huge. They were selling out stadiums all across the world in '87. But nobody knew who Roger Waters and many still don't because he wasn't a celebrity and big personality like Bowie or Jagger or even Peter Gabriel. He never had any hits to his name, only the Floyd.
To my limited knowledge, Peter Gabriel was both similar to and absolutely opposite Roger. Similar in terms of leaving a very popular band and risking it all to bring their genius to a solo career. Opposite in terms of Gabriel never snubbing his old band mates or competing with them. Peter's strategies worked swimmingly, he had years of top 10 hits, amazing videos and sold out concerts. I don't know for certain, but I'm pretty sure he never scheduled a show against Phil Collins and / or Genesis. He had nothing to prove. He had Salisbury Hill, Games Without Frontiers, Shock the Monkey 🐒 Big Time, Sledgehammer and Don't Give Up with the lady who sang that song in Stranger Things. Kate Bush, to all you young whippersnappers lol.
He's a quirky, weird guy who injected the quirky weirdness into Floyd. I love Gilmour's musicianship but Gilmour led Floyd wasn't quirky and weird enough for me.

If you were to show snipets of this to someone who had no idea who waters or pink floyd was they’d think it was from a horror movie.
Somewhere over the years Roger was replace by Richard Gere.

Interesting, thanks, didn't know that.
I can't blame him for wanting to close the door on an issue that lead to court battles.
David Gilmour had no issues with MTV. In fact, David embraced MTV for the About Face album and tour. Also when Pink Floyd continued without Roger, they were Team Gilmour.
Like I said MTV were kind to David Gilmour and Nick Mason hence why About Face and then Momentary Lapse got all the press.
Roger is currently worth about 290 million dollars and Dave, about 180 million. So it all worked out for both of them. They are both musical geniuses. However Roger is on another plane intellectually.
Good old VHS format

I wanna hear it. So fuck off and let the rest of us get on with it.
He weren't wrong, m8.
Lmaoooo I can’t stop laughing that was brilliant
I still get chills up my spine listening to the pros and cons just like all his music.
I get chills up my spine by just looking at this video...

Just watch the last 30 seconds. best part of the interview
Do you or anyone else have a link to where i can see or read the 5 hour interview he talks about??
This was recorded in 1984, but it looks like it was transmitted from the surface of the moon in 1969!
lol
19:06 how big teeth he has lol
Oh. Let's see you.
11:32 That was so creepy for some reason, i dunno if it was the way he said it or the way he looked when he said it
You can credit that this video is get from Yeeshkul! from my old VHS, for now the only circulating. Thanks
I added the description. Let me know if it's good.

Whatever happened to that 5 hour Jim Ladd interview? Did anyone buy it? Isn't he the guy Waters enlisted for KAOS ?

I bet he's a real hoot at parties.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
This is my favorite xomment
He'd be bored at your parties.
Dang. Everything looks green and submarine
I WONDER WHY IT DIDNT AIR (great interview though)
He looks just like his mother
This looks like one of those The Day Today or Brass Eye bits when they did a piece on the states. Yellow picture, muffled sound etc.
i'm saving this video so i can watch it while high
Why do you people care about how Roger looks? smdh!
He looks great now.

Have you noticed that Roger has lost his accent now. He sounds British in the 80s.
hasnt he been living in New York for many years now? Not that has any effect but
+Ron Alaimo Must be from him living in New York
To me his accent sounds about the same now as then
He sounds the same way today, i don't think i would mistake his accent to be from another country, he sounds English.
Good stuff.
I think a psychiatrist would be fascinated by this. He was a very angry man! But he has mellowed thankfully.
I like him

It's not pixels, it's shoddy VHS tape.

Somebody should sample this interview and make a rap/dance/trance song out of it.
