| Re: In the Flesh DVD Jon Carin Watching the In the Flesh DVD with the behind the scenes footage brought many smiles to my face. It appears Roger had a ton on fun on the tour and that Andy Fairweather Low is hillarious. I cracked up during the game of cards. After studying very many interviews,etc. (hobby) I see Roger Waters as someone who is very very sensitive and doesn't let things go. Cross him once and good luck getting back on his side. Is he the only person out there like that? I believe not. After watching In the Flesh on DVD I would pay twice as much money to see Roger & co. perform before seeing that other band. In fact I am a big Dave Gilmour fan. But should McCartney and Starr make a Beatles album today? NOOOOOOO! why should Gilmour have made those two "floyd albums" I like some of the music from the two albums but true floyd imo was all four of them collaborating. Also, after hearing Dogs I really think that Jon Carin's voice is 10x better than Gilmour's. And this Doyle Bramhall II is a fantastic guitar player. This is my opinion on the downfall of Pink Floyd.
1.4 stuck up brits having to spend too much time together
2.Gilmour's lust for money Mason's too.
3.Roger feeling he can't relate to the others because of their lust.
4.Mason and Wright become lazy as a result of a creative meltdown.
5.Gilmour wanting his name in the spotlight after failed solo projects.
The fact is that Gilmour and Waters complement each other in ways the two of them will never figure out. I think some of the best Floyd work was done with a Waters, Wright collaboration as well. Isn't it funny that Gilmour never agreed with Waters but was also responsible for booting Wright( and wanting Mason out) of the band? I see Gilmour as a greedy greedy man and Roger despised him for it on account of Roger's socialist political beliefs. Roger's fault was not being open minded enough to see the errs in his colleagues ways. My dream is one day to see Roger and David on stage one more time. All they have to do just like David sang is "talk". ROger is getting up there in age what is going to happen if he dies, are they not going to show up for the funeral? It's been 20 years time to grow up.
What exactly is a joke? |
