Post-Roger, Echoes has High Hopes on it which is up there with the greatest Floyd stuff (IMO). The rest of it is a bit meh. Keep Talking was OK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldslapper Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 As an observation, not on PF, RW or DG specifically, but I don’t understand this modern trend to treat the online world as a surrogate parent. Using social media platforms to gain approval or to complain about “how those boys over there have been mean”, hoping presumably that the response will be “oh you poor thing, how about we go down the park and you can go on the swings?” Am I being a mean boy? 🤪 Anyway as you were....PF pre and post RW ....anyone? 😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezzaboy Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 The thing is Wodger, you left the band 35 years ago and you don`t own the name. The guys that own it can put up whatever the heck they want. No matter how embarrassing some of that content may be.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't feel it is a parent thing, I think it is a bullying thing, "Those people wont do what I want, all you people hassle them until I do". Part of the twitter thing. I am sure if he thought he had a genuine chance of it happening he is capable of getting Dave Gillmours telephone number 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angel Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) Boo hoo. Man-child sacks the band he is in although he doesn't own the band (the wall, final cut). Man-child tries to take his ball home when the other kids still want to play with it. Judge gives the ball to the other kids. Man-child complains when the others won't let him play with the ball 30 years later. Edited May 21, 2020 by Angel 5 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howling at your fan base seems a little provocative. I do have a soft spot for the“troubled/grumpy/difficult artist” as they often have seams of creativity that are both exciting and have a feel of danger. But there must come a time when WW should say to himself “I’m not going to get what I want here, I have access to some wonderful musicians that can help me express my ideas, I can afford to pay someone to make my bed every day, good luck to DG and the rest, I’m off to give my fans some wonderful music, especially at this time when others are struggling to put food on the table and are worried shitless about the world”? No? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 DG has moved on. Poor RW seems to be stuck in a time warp of negativity and self pity that he can't get his own way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I can't stand band politics, as always, its seems to be the school playground again, just like all other areas of politics, but musically speaking, Wodger was a writing genius and shall always remain as such to me. I quite like his outlook on life and such, too Yes, he's probably got some character issues, but so does everyone. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not always the case, but sometimes creative genius and "prickly" character traits go together. Unless an artist is actually doing something vile and immoral I'm never worried about what they get up to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffbyrne Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Whilst respecting his writing, I lost all other respect for him when I discovered he was on stage with PF holding a bass while Guy Pratt stood in the wings and actually played the music......

ead Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I wonder what would have happened if the legal decision had gone the other way. If this show of childish petulance is anything to go by I would suggest not well for the other PF members. Wog, you made your bed, now lie in it.

ezbass Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I tried to watch it, but eventually it all got too painful. It felt like something someone sends to an ex in the wee small hours, after too many beers. Get over yourself, you sad man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spectoremg Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 The last three Floyd albums are the ones their back catalogue could do without. Final Cut was a Water's solo album and the last two said Pink Floyd on the tin but the content wasn't. David Gilmour has said Live 8 was like sleeping with your ex. To Roger the band without him might seem like your wife having an affair. He's got a point, I just wish he'd let it go. And the less said about Mrs. Gilmour's involvement the better. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the Live 8 gig, Waters looked elated and Gilmour looked like he'd had a bucket of fish guts tipped over his head. Waters made his own bed in all this and won't ever be accepted back. He seems deeply wounded by this but didn't have the same sensibilities when he was treating Rick Wright dreadfully for years and generally being a complete tool. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
