I think that Roger Waters was a really good bass player. Even though I have read that David Gilmour played the bass for him on the early records.

Re: Roger Waters
He's not a good bassplayer... if you'd played bass from the early sixites wouldn't you know your way around it too?
Waters was good at lyrics. And he was very serious in the studio, wouldn't allow drugs and such in studio.

Re: Roger Waters
Gilmour played bass on Hey You didn't he?

Did he play bass on anything else on The Wall?

Okay, Gilmour played the FRETLESS bass solos on Hey You, but thats it. second, rogs bass lines fit in well with the music, which is what the bass is about, unless you are a solo artist who playes bass (stu hamm).

Re: Roger Waters
I guess Rog is a decent bassist. None of them are exactly outstanding musicians. They just know what to play and when to play it.

Re: Roger Waters
You're right, none of them were exactly brilliant... but when they got together to make music, it was some of the best. Who knows.

I THINK THAT IT´S AN EXCELLENT DEFINITION....A DECENT BASSIST.
HIS REAL POWERS ARE IN THE LYRICS, HIS PRESENCE ON STAGE AND THE CREATION OF SUBJECTS TO DEVELOP IDEAS.

Re: Roger Waters

Re: Roger Waters
Hey if Roger wasn't that good of a bassist and it's said David played the bass for Hey You did David play the bass solo for Pigs?

Re: Roger Waters
I don't think Roger could even tune his own bass for a while, Richard had to do it.
