Bob Ezrin once said he was the primarily force to get some of David's work included on the album.

According to "the Pink Floyd Encyclopedia" (which has an extensive coverage on which musician who played what on the different albums, although I don't think it is correct all the time) Roger didn't play any guitar in the final mix on "Pigs" or "Hey You". (Of course he played rhythm guitar on "Pigs" live). According to the same book, David played bass on more than half of the songs on "The Wall", particularly on the second half of the album. But that doesn't say that Roger sucks on bass, I still think he is great. Actually I think all five of them are great.
