But why is Roger singing everything else? I always though Dave and Rick sang great together. Maybe Rick wasn't in his best shape for the album, but where did Roger get off forcing him to leave the band? He makes the dude cut his summer vacation after sitting in the studio for months doing nothing, and then he throws him out. And Roger even wanted to force Nick Mason out after hearing Jeff Porcaro play on "Mother." This guy really took all control and abused it. |
I agree with you. He is an idiot and the final cut was totally bogus because it was really a roger waters solo album and the real band is only on 50% of the album.

Let's face it — none of us in Pink Floyd are technically brilliant musicians, with great chops who can change rhythms, fifteen or sixteen bars here, there, and everywhere. And we're not terribly good at complicated chord structures. A lot of it is just very simple stuff dressed up." -David Gilmour |
