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

The Floyd are without doubt the most over-rated band in history.  The same applies to Mr Waters.  His perverted opinions on the origins of the invasion of Ukraine are not worth discussing.

Sleep

No dreams, no....

*random (or, ran dumb) thoughts, waking from a nap prior to actual 'escape to bed'...*

Why does the The Entity in M:I - 7 remind me of the eye of Sauron?

Snippets of songs, looping in my mind.  post- a 'modern nightmare film'....

"I took off in thе dead of night
But before I did, got my affairs in ordеr and my boots on
The Hallelujah choir needs a score
And they're knocking at my door, let them knock some more

They're saying I need a little, direction
But following the leader gonna turn me off the religion

It's coming down, the hardest cut
World wars in my mind
Long day into night, the hardest cut
We live on a knife
Here it come now, here it come now
Here it is the hardest cut"

We start with an aside, end up ass on the side, over not-so easy.... :(

"....And all I wanna hear is the message beep
My dreams, they got a kissing
'Cause I don't get sleep, no..."

Russia was provoked by NATO influence. The good news is Ukraine was full of bio-labs financed by the USA. Lots fewer of them now.  It's still a money laundering dream.

Never cared for Pink Floyd, and I don’t care what he/she/they think about world politics. I went to a Jackson Browne environmental rally once and a concert broke out in spells.

I’m not in it for the fun facts, shut up and play.

Allow me to speak for those who don’t think much of "Money" by Pink Floyd to begin with.

"Money (That’s What I Want)", written by Berry Gordy & Janie Bradford and sung by Barrett Strong, now THERE is a song. The Beatles liked it enough to record it for their second album, with John Lennon singing lead. Their version is good, but the original is much better, with a killer guitar solo! Much "tougher" sounding than The Beatles, who were, after all, white British lads.

Pink Floyd? Grow up 😉 .

Define cretins.

Love threads like this as they expose cretins posting under different monikers than they do at other sites.

DeKay

That alone should say all that needs to be said about him.

Who booked that ’show’ anyhow?! 🙁

He was literally invited by the Russian delegation who heard his views when he gave in an interview in Germany.

....'provoked' in the sense that Ukraines' economy was growing v. Russias' and their politics were getting rid of the bloodsuckers?  That would be the only 'rational' excuse for Rogs' claim....and a lame one

But wtf and why is he addressing the UN?

Who booked that 'show' anyhow?! 🙁

@thecarpathian was right when he said that he's an ass hat.

Late Waters music can be pretty good if you don't speak english.

@cd318 + 1

Most definitely love his music and contributions as a member of PF. As far as his political views and rants I will pass. Haven't heard any of his solo work that I like either.  Gave away tickets to his last shoe because I don't like his toxic attitude. 

@larsman 

You're confused. I'm not talking about Roger Waters, I'm talking about the guy in the video.

Pink Floyd star Roger Waters has used a speech to the United Nations to repeat his controversial claim that Russia's invasion of Ukraine was "provoked".

long story short, he is an idiot, uncomfortable with facts and the truth

@cd318 +1

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.

Roger Waters is one of the bravest most outspoken voices of the entire rock era.

He regularly puts his views and reputation on the line unlike most others who are quite happy to sit back and admire their bank balance and investments.

Waters is more John Lennon to Gilmour's Paul McCartney.

You are free to like one or the other, or shock horror, even both. It's not Roger's fault if you've misunderstood him all these years.

If you wrote a song as good as Money, you would earn the right to ruin it.

Instead, you’ve got peanut gallery snark.

'Acid casualty'? You seem to be confusing Roger Waters with Syd Barrett.  And while Roger might be pleased to be described as 'sixty- something', he passed that age demographic a long, long time ago. 

I thought that we were going to hear a new bad version of the song, instead, it’s a diatribe by a burned out sixty-something acid casualty complaining about it.

@thecarpathian 

You said it!

Roger Waters is a monumentally colossal ass hat.
