does anyone else feel that Richard Wright was just a freeloading coke addict who milked Roger for everything?

:o

Better duck-and-cover, Games, I know a few who're gonna come after you!

[Shane G.]

What a way to introduce yourself! :o

Anyway, I don't think so.

And you'd better watch out - I already know a certain 'Wright-Satellite' who will be on your case!

[what_rog_wants]

That's right.

(sorry I couldn't resist).

You'd better brace yourself...

Let battle commence, I love to watch a good fight! Although I reckon gamesformay may be just doing a spot of mischief making to get a reaction.

[Hicks]

Ah, a provocateur
not a clone i hope.

Anyway, Wright does not give me that impression, definitely.

[gamesformay]

oh no...i truly feel that Rick is a waste...Roger should have kicked him out right after he kicked Syd out...

pink floyd ended in 1985...Roger had a press conference...three men have pretended to be roger ever since

[Dr Cheese]

Yeah we know, Roger WAS Pink Floyd, blah blah, yaddah yaddah yaddah ............

[gamesformay]

yes...i still can't believe there are people out there who can't come to grips with it...wasn't Roger three years of tours enough to show that he wrote all the songs?...or do you people actually believe that Dave playing a guitar solo(they are all easy, btw) constitutes writing a song....cause dave hasn't written lyrics(other than a song or two)...he HIRES people to write lyrics

[Hicks]

Ok, Rog was the creative one... but still Wright is not a freeloading coke addict

[gamesformay]

a)Rick was a coke addict...do some research

b)Rick did not write any lyrics after 1968...and what you folks call his songwriting talents was actually him playing a few piano and organ bits that Roger(and dave to some very small extent) turned into songs

[Shane G.]

OK, the guy may have been a coke addict... by the time of The Wall. I doubt he was a coke addict before Animals.

Second, just becasue you don't write lyrics dosen't mean you aren't an intergral part of the band.

And he didn't write stuff? What do you call Great Gig in the Sky? That was all Wright.

And if we're going to get into musicianship, then Roger wasen't the greatest musician, either.

[Hicks]

So, what to say about Mason, another freeloading pain in the ass for Rog?

You're entitled to your own opinion of course, even if it's wrong , Roger may well have written all the lyrics but without music lyrics are just words. You may have convinced yourself that Roger was the be all and end all of Floyd but I think most people are more informed.
Hi btw , helluva way to get started around here!
