yoooo this is sick, someone should remix this song but make it faster and add an awesome guitar solo, and a sax solo, and add some cool cash register samples, and make it more interesting. now that’d be a classic
Also add melody in the voice
@@x.pescobard3216and a voice...
Alan Parson might be able to do a thing like that.
The guitarist should also be the singer.
And get rid of the rambling.
All this needs is a singer, a couple of cool guitar solos and a sweet sax.
We already have that one - why do we need to recreate the original??? There is a new allegorical message in the middle of this re-working. Have fun with it - lol
@@tonycook1624 I think robertmartin's comments was a bit over your head. Read it with a little less seriousness.
roger doesn't play any of those and barely sang in the band, so he's stuck with what he's got, which is mostly his overinflated ego...
Give this guy a medal
This comment and replies are pretty damn stupid. Roger was always the crooner bass and occasional piano for Floyd. Oh and almost forgot… HE LITERALLY WROTE the band’s most iconic albums…
Someone please give him a glass of water and send him to bed.
Lmao😂
Сам то выспался придурок?)
Roger Waters is the first guy in the world who turned a masterpiece into a demo version
No
Different and jazzy version...
This is a reinterpretation. It turned out very interesting.


lulz. haha.well said. If there is one song which I wouldn't change a single bar, it is freaking Money from The Dark Side Of The Moon. It is perfect as it is.
@@digitaldesigner5284 It smells like shit
exactly lol
This made me realize how much impact Gilmour, Mason, Wright and Parry had on this song.
Do you think that if Roger Waters was the sole creative force then this is how the song would have turned out.... 50 years ago?
Or do you mean you literally have to hear this entirely different song made 50 years later, to be able to hear the original properly?
Stupid comment makes no sense. "Man I just realised 3/4ths of Pink Floyd also had a big impact on their sound".
@@NowhereMan7 Bro get anger management. I never seen anyone giving an angry reply over a comment complimenting the artist/band.
@@chill663 you're probably one of the people that say "learn reading comprehension" to anyone who doesn't address what you say. Say something that's not totally boring.
@@NowhereMan7 why are you riding roger waters this hard
@@jacksonboyd3193 hehe. I haven't even said one single thing that might indicate what i think about this song. But if you want to know its not something I'd ever listen to again by choice.
Imagine if you were in the same room with Roger while he was performing this and had to tell him, 'it's great!"
LOL
Don’t worry, he probably had his headphones plugged into his phone when he made it.
You understand ‘Redux’,stupid?
I do imagine it, and I would have meant it.
I would have also added a hearty "THANK YOU!"
Of course you'd need to interrupt the constant eager praise he was receiving from Roger waters
I've always wanted to hear Tom Waits waking up in the middle of the night, talking to himself while searching for a viable cigarette.
How did he manage to make a DSOTM track sound like a combination of elevator music and that one car commercial you know of by heart for some reason.
Josh - that is really good. I may have to use it on my friends who haven't read your post, unless of course you borrowed it from somewhere as well. Poignantly said.
This song is NOTHING w/o that guitar twang. This revamped song itself is 'BULLSHIT'!!!!!
Haters detected
@@ladecimamusa777 Of course. We HATE how he destroyed a terrific rock'n'roll classic and turned it into a yuppie elevator muzak pile of BS for the muckety-mucks. How 'rock'n'roll' is that? Where's the spirit, man? And as for 'haters', how come RW blames Jews for everything wrong and bad? He keeps using projectionism on them, comparing them to and accusing them to be like the Nazis who slaughtered 6 million of them in the Holocaust? Aside all that, this is a grossly bastardized warped up WATERed down piece of garbage - so schlocky and insipid. It should have never been made. We HATE it!!!!
I’m a long-time Pink Floyd fan. I’ve been to several Roger Waters concerts on his various tours that made it down to Australia and have been blown away every time. This is pure, unadulterated shit.
Yup! I know the whole catalog front to back, and this is the first deeply unlistenable track. Even the weirdest stuff on Ummagumma has its place. The only place for this is the 🗑️
@@LipkaPasha I'm glad someone had the balls to say it!! Roger can claim this is his baby all he wants. His baby isn't born without Gimour/Wright and even Alan Parsons. Guess I'm team Gilmour. This is just Garbage.
"Together we stand, Divided we fall"
"Together we stand, Divided we fall"
Together we fall, divided we stand
Standed we divide, fall we together
Together we stand Divided we fail
Divided We Divided
I feel bad for the dog, gonna be remembered as the dog from Roger´s "Money"
This is what happens when you rest on your laurels, and when your ego convinces you that the world is entitled to the smell of your farts.
you just don't understand it. But that's ok.
@@sontinos528no
That is damn funny
This feels like an asmr that's set in the bathroom of a burned down bar whose radio still somehow works
I think that was the aesthetic he was looking for
This feels like what happens when a has been who's been washed up for 44 years completely breaks down and then publishes his mental illness. Whoever Roger's handlers are, his estate or what not, along with BMG, they need him to keep getting on stage and farting out his old hits from 50 years ago. Let's face it, he's had writer's block since 1979. This project is the result of that.
@@CoolhandLukeSkywalkr true dat!!
Feels like Tom Waits is singing it.
@@CoolhandLukeSkywalkr He had writer's block starting from the reunion of the band I think. The Final Cut, Pros and Cons and Radio Chaos were good albums. And this is the first good track since then by my opinion. It has a mood
Proof that Pink Floyd WAS A BAND. The magic they created may have come from one person’s naked idea. But the magic that we all knew and love came from the band. Rodger can do whatever he likes but I predict this will come and go with barely anyone caring.
It's Roger not Rodger, and this release is for those who love and appreciate the original DSOTM but are open minded enough give a listen to it again 50 years matured and seasoned. Its not to REPLACE or DEMEAN the original, its just the artists renewal through life's experience
This is trash don’t touch a masterpiece!! This is horrible.
No. He did this specifically because David's wife and Roger got into a political spat. Roger then went off about how the other band members didn't contribute anything to the original. Look it up, it happened. Roger is doing this out of spite.
You are correct sir.
@@kellyfrancis1873if you love and respect the original album, then you see this for what it is… a “money” grab. This is hot garbage and anyone with a keen ear can tell.
Of all the songs Roger Waters has recorded over the years, that is certainly one of them.
One off the besr singer I like
Hahahahahah
So many haters...
Gênio
This version of Money, it's a crime.
Just in case the message behind “Money” wasn’t on-the-nose enough for you, Roger has you covered!
Ha. Imagine Roger himself thinking this is great
You summarized the entire 2010s and current 2020s: everything's on the nose, no nuance.
This is what i think about all of these. One of Dark Side's biggest virtues is it's nuance, the complexity of the concept is one of the main reasons it's one of the greatest albums ever. All this does is reduce that nuance and dumb the whole thing down to capitalise on the lowest common denominator of people, taking advantage of all the people who are only just getting into it... that's so cynically ironic, it has to be on purpose.
@@redacted2275 "ohhhhhhhhh the past was so much better than current time ooooohhhhhhhh"
@@jacksonboyd3193as someone in their 20’s, it’s true. Music, and culture in general, is completely lacking in any soul or nuance. Look at all the top streamed television shows and movies, and tell me people don’t crave what we had in the 2000’s on back.
The comments are deliciously wicked and well earned. If Rgoer Waters hired Leonard Cohen and gave him a bottle of valium, this is pretty much what it would sound like.
But Waters wouldn't have hired Cohen because he was J3wish.
The more he does, the more it will prove how much other teammates have contributed.
Ah, that's a great point. It's crazy how one can write a song and get all the credit and royalties when it may have been the contributions of the other band members that actually make it a hit.
Exactly what I was going to say
101% right .
Excellent point.
Yep, Waters little rewrites seem to be more about him declaring he's responsible for everything Floyd but Time opens with a blatant rip off of the end of Syds Bike using Syds "scribbly black" line in it and the sax plus female singer additions were suggestions Syd made which Waters declared were reasons to remove Syd with Roger calling such suggestions "crazy" making him a pretty shady guy at times.
This isn't the dark side of the moon, this is just the dark side.
Who would ever imagine Emperor Palpatine could sing so well?
Undeniable mathematical proof that Roger Waters was exactly 25% of Pink Floyd.
David Gilmour has a real felling for the guitar. The head and the heart so often don't get along. That's not say either lacked the other, but one was in charge over the other. The marriage between the sun and moon.
You mean 20%, unless you were referring to the DSOTM specifically.
Couldn't have said it better myself!
@@anthonysmith2562 Dave still sounds great these days but Roger sounds like he swallowed an ash tray.
Richard wright was most of pink floyd
This hits differently when released by a man with a "stack" of $310,000,000.
and giving none away!
Those "net worth" figures are crap. Don't believe that stuff.
That’s a lot less in pounds sterling.
@@goobozzywhy should we care lmao it's their bag
Absolutely
...The irony of this song, Roger Waters is a Multi-Millionaire...He chooses to Live in the Hamptons, in the United States. Not in the UK...While he points fingers at everyone else...And he took your Money....
Roger Waters net worth is about $310 Million making him the 13th richest rock star in the world but he wants even more trying to sell us this rotten remake!
Well... this certainly gives the song "Brain Damage" a whole new meaning.
The lunatic is on the grass indeed...
i will say, the best thing about this video is the dog. that's about it.
Closer to the lunatic just smoked the grass
the trippy vibes and music is pretty cool, it's just that the singing isn't really that great and don't even get me started on that weird spoken section
It's so cool how Roger was able to resurrect Leonard Cohen for a full album of covers! That's some legend shizz right there.
This had me cackling
That's what I was trying to think of - sounds like Leonard Cohen.
I thought Ken Nordine.
Tom Waits
Moi aussi j'ai immédiatement pensé à Leonard Cohen en entendant...
Mais aussi Tom Waits.
WE AIN'T MAKIN' IT OUT OF THE HOOD WITH THIS ONE ❗❗❗❗❗❗❗
WE AIN'T MAKING IT OUTSIDE THE WALL WITH THIS ONE ❗❗❗❗❗❗
HEY YOU.....STOP
WE AIN'T SEEING YOU ON THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON WITH THIS ONE ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
WE AIN'T HAVIN' A CIGAR WITH THIS ONE !
WE AIN'T BEING WELCOMED TO THE MACHINE WITH THIS ONE‼‼
The best is that makes you want to listen the original.
So, true. I just had a thought to go to my record player and put my old vinyl up. Yesterday, when I listened to Time I had the same urge. Now I definetly will do that.
You have the point. I bet, sales of original dsotm will be up.
Guess I am the single person who’s a fan of this.
I love it
Same
nope
I like it
As a music critic said in the mid-1980's "His voice is so burned out after years of screaming that you can almost smell the ashes".
Seen him a month ago in Glasgow and for being 79 years old that man put on some show. If I'm able to still string a sentence together if I reach 79 years old il be happy 😊
Money is one tune of a few I personally dislike, not hate but wouldn't play it on a pub jukebox and like this version even less than original but that's just my opinion. Saw pink floyd in 94 pulse gig in rotterdam and that was awesome but Roger waters gig this is not a drill blew me away!! Over the moon I got to see him live at don't think he will be doing anymore gigs now. Just wish I had seen the wall live, big regret 😪
Hope he has a few more years on earth 🌎 before joining u there, shine on u crazy diamond 💎 ❤️
@@BAZZADELICA I like the live wembly version 1974, it's a slightly more bluesy jam
Sounds like a compliment to me.
not that Waters' vocals (or any Pink Floyd member's to be honest) have ever been spectacular
@@xbenci I think Rick's voice was the best. Remember, he was the one doing the vocal harmonies and always in the higher register. Listen to Echoes (the song).
This song proves that despite a great melody... instrumentation is key to a successful hit.
To me it's the opposite, I kinda like the instrumentation of this version, but without the vocal melody it's nothing.
@@aidanhickey9845 I don't think the vocal melody in the song is that good, it's a bit clumsy. The riff is great, the lyrics are pretty good too, the rhythm guitar and the solos. The melody is ok but nothing special.
I love everything about this
@hernanbusso1609 honestly I think its way more about how the vocals are delivered. the original is so casual yet sarcastic in its delivery, this version just sounds like it's trying way too hard
Don't forget excellent singing as well as the other instruments and players.
I expected to be disappointed. I am not disappointed.
I'm not disappointed in my disappointment
Imagine David's reaction listening to this shit for the first time.
I can't believe he's really doing this to the whole album
Yeah. It'll be 10 hours long and about as musically fresh as a drying wall.
This video proves that Roger was only 1/4 of the venture called Pink Floyd... and nothing more.
very cool, people hating on this have zero understanding of jazz
I love it
People liking it have less than zero understanding of jazz
A man who makes covers of himself
NO AUTOTUNE, NO MIXING TRICKS, JUST STRAIGHT ASS 🔥🔥🔥
you don't think they used mixing tricks? you don't think they fixed the vocals with something like Melodyne? also, this version is pure trash.
It's still mixed tho
Yes. Just straight ass. :D
No idea what to do with it.
I'm sorry I'll read that again 😮
At first I was like, cool intro, nice vibe, can't wait until it kicks in properly. Then I was like, any second now. Then I was like, oh dear.
"breaks wind out loud"
yeah. you said it Rog
I’m 20 seconds in, and Waters is sounding like if Tom Waits gave up
Roger Roger Roger.
Every time you try to convince us you were the lone genius in Pink Floyd, you prove the band was mostly responsible for your success. Especially Gilmour.
No way the new version of DSOTM would spend a day on the charts, much less 950 weeks.
you nailed it!
Tell me you only listened to Floyd for the instruments without telling me. Nice job buddy. Learn the symbolism behind DSOTM. It is more than just guitar make good sound hur dur.
@@TheGooseIsLoose9000I am one who will feely admit that I listen to Pink Floyd for the music. The lyrics are very much secondary for me. Having said that, I think DSotM was the peak of Roger’s lyric writing. The lyrical additions to this track are gibberish.
You prefer Chart-music and especially Guitar-music ? Maybe you didn‘t listen to the lyrics. You can have Jeff Beck or Eric Clapton or - why not - DG (all of them great guitarists), but you‘re not gonna find a second musician/composer like Roger Waters, a genius.
@@erichw. As good as Eric and Jeff and all his other guest musicians are, Roger without Floyd is not as good as Roger with them.
Wasn't just DG. The 4 of them created masterpieces.
Nothing Roger has done since, or Floyd for that matter, has been as good as what they created together.
this is the musical equivalent of an open jar of mayonnaise left on the counter for a month.
yep this is definitely the work of a man who's gotten nothing but praise for 50 years and now believes that everything he does has to be genius, while totally losing sight of why he was a genius in the first place
It's not painless to get your hands on one of the most iconic albums in rock history.
It also applies to Roger Waters
This is what happens when there is no one else in the room to tell you 'no, that's not a good idea'
for sure a room full of praisers and bootlickers.
You might be right, but I’ll take whatever new material I can get out of Roger at this point
Thank you. All I'm reading is how much people are loving this. And all I hear is an out of control ego trying to erase the people in his past.
This is what I sound like first thing in the morning
This version is so much better than the original..said no one ever
This is proof that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts
Proof? Do you mean evidence? An example? I don think you know what proof means.
Anyway, are you saying you really think that this is what Money would have sounded like if Waters was the sole creative force in 1973? Thats so stupid.
@@NowhereMan7 I mean, you *just* heard what Money would have sounded like if Waters was the sole creative force
@@NowhereMan7 he didn't say that. That interpretation is not intelligent. He's rather saying that an older, "wiser" Roger Waters came up with something that falls very short of what the band came up with. He obviously wouldn't come up with this version in version in 1973 but clearly there's something missing in him alone.
@@renato360a You'd hope that is what he means but there are so many comments on here suggesting that this is what the original Money would have sounded like if it werent for the others. Like the boogy guy commenting above you. He really thinks this is what Money would have been like if not for the other members 😂.
People are so black and white. "This is PROOF that that Roger Waters is nothing without the rest of the band" etc
These kind of stupid comments annoy me. People paint with such a broad brush and use such concrete terms.
@@NowhereMan7 I'm a mathematician, so the word "proof" has a strong and precise meaning to me. However, outside of technical discussion, I wouldn't hold people accountable for playing loose with words. Proof, evidence, indication.. I think the first guy's message was pretty clear. You can't extrapolate that simple sentence to "this is what it would have sounded like if Roger was solo in 73". The guy who actually said said that was a different guy and he only said that in response to you and indeed he has a point. This song is evidence of what Roger sounds solo. It's not proof of anything but it is a sample. We can't say it would sound like this in 73 (definitely wouldn't, it's 40 years ago), but that was never the point. The point is it would sound worse. Also, people are allowed to use hyperboles like "Roger Waters is NOTHING solo", when clearly everyone knows he's one of the greatest. We are allowed to mock even the works of geniuses. Let's not get bogged down with linguistics.
Found a new song to play when handing candy this Halloween.
😂
i will be very scared indeed
Alright fine, Nostalgia Critic can have this one
This is a blasphemy, in the worst possible way.
The reason "Dark Side of the Moon" has been so successful is that it is perfect the way it is, a masterpiece in every respect. There is no way to improve on something that is perfect. This version is just that, another version, but definitely not better. I've listened to it once and that's it. I have listened to the original thousands of times and it still fascinates me.
If you dip into his "why did I do this" video he clearly states that it was never intented to improve on the original. Its all about using the themes of the original to update the message for the current era.
@@tonycook1624 Thanks for the tip and your comment. I don't want to argue and I will definitely check out his explanation. Part of the point I tried to make is that DSOTM is timeless and is as relevant today as it was back in 1973 owing to a large part to Roger Waters' visionary lyrics and musical experimentation, with the help of the other band members, of course.
he made this for his ego
yes, the original is impossible to be replaced, but this is a tribute to that and it is very beautiful too...
Listen to it many times. ;) Original is boring to me. Heard it to many times.
The phrase ‘You can’t reheat a soufflé’ comes to mind.
So true. A souffle is tough enough the first time!
Nah it's great
I understand. But dig, this song is the effect of the titular subject . 50 some odd years of fame success and all the trappings of those things. This is full circle.
Old dirty bastard! Critics, us all!
@@erichoepelman7764Agreed.
Really enjoyed this homage to the original, I think it's an interesting take.
Money was supposed to be a dark piece, Gilmour made it a happy one!
Glad Batman decided to do a cover of this
me too
Oh Dear. Oh Roger. It's not all about you mate.
You were in a band.
Lighting in a bottle.
You didn't create the magic that was DSOTM by yourself and by yourself you haven't recreated it.
He only wrote all the lyrics and most of the music and came up with the concept of the album, that's all 😂
In fact, he did recreate the magic. Check his Dark Side of the Moon tour
He kind of did. He’s just gotten old and can’t recreate the same kind of sparks.
@@Redguard677 I just saw him at the O2 London, he was great, but the best bits were when the band riffed off of the original vibes of Pink Floyd.
The Comfortably Numb redux left me numb.
It's the inconsistency that confuses me. He strips out Gilmour on the new Numb and on this redux, but playing live, Happily jammed with the band who were expanding on and paying homage to the original Floyd sound including Gilmour's amazing Riffs.(The band were tight btw, really awesome)
Just pick a side, Roger.
@@jacobray8685 explain
My favorite DSOTM's song was completely DESTROYED!!! Thanks Roger!!!
excellent audiobook for falling asleep
and the crowd goes home 🔥🔥🔥
AND THE CROWD GOES MILD❗🔥
Best comment
& the crowd leaves with a march fro. The Wall
crowd will love it , thats a trippy track now
This could become a classic track for clubs to drive everyone out at closing time.
Hell would be a place where Roger is singing like this to you 24/7 😊
man I hope that shit metaphor of the devil holding a briefcase will be there
for me it is one of the best works that has been done for today! even if nobody understands! THANK YOU
Welcome to the Machine
Needs more Gilmour
I have ordered a copy.
I am going to throw it in my 50th anniversary boxed set and pretend it is the original demo before David, Richard, Nick, Dick, Claire, and Alan had made it great.
Roger, Roger, what has become of you?
Does anybody else in here feel the way I do?
I do
I still Think that Waters is great, but not Pink Floyd great. Niether is the actual Pink Floyd band right now but however.
I think Waters more serious, ochestral sounds mix perfectly with Gillmores more smooth and dreamy sound. I hope you get what i mean, its hard to discribe in english for me.
I just wish they could find some commonground again and make some music together. Waters is good, Gillmore is good, but together thery amazing.
No, i think its a really good version of the song
that vera reference is something else. I feel you
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Well that's seven minutes of my life I won't get back.
"Moneeeeyyyy....... it's a GASH"
Do you really think to substitute one of the greatest guitar solo of history with one of your rantings? You are the author, certainly you are in the right...:)
I'm a firm believer that Roger can do what he like with his music. That being said, this made me sleepy. I found it hard to get through. Maybe in the context of the whole album I'll feel differently.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I agree, I didn't even get past the first two bars. The music was sort of kind of cool for about ten seconds, but its very much 'whats the point of this'. He should have done the full version on the blues acoustic like he does in the documentary. Or maybe do it as a reggae or disco to step it up, but this was just kind of weird. It sounds like what somebody who can't sing but just got garageband would put together. But I agree, he can do what he wants,but its certainly obvious why the FIRST version became a hit, and this just sounds like a creepy guy behind a curtain in a horror movie is whispering to you.
I have a feeling this whole project is going to be garbage, based on what he did to Money. He wrote the lyrics, so he can whatever he wants to it, but this just comes off pretentious AF, as Roger has a tendency to come off. I'm a Gilmour guy, but I typically love Waters' solo work. This, I do not like, at all.
We are all fooling ourselves if we think this re-imagined classic album will be great. I appreciate his vision and experimental nature for this project but all in all the song drags and he sounds like a has been crooner.
@@joshhubble4573 Do you think he wrote the lyrics and Gilmour wrote the music? He wrote the whole damn song, 7/8 riff and all. If Roger comes off pretentious, you come off full of shit.
A song about money to make money
...yeah that makes sense
Actually I like this as a variation on the original, I think the new lyrics are an advance proving he is a great lyricist, he seems to be tending more and more to spoken word poetry but it also shows he wasn't Pink Floyd who was music too
It's sick shit.
Because of his huge, and therefore sick ego, Roger made a new version of DSOTM simply to tell us, "Hey guys, let me tell you again: Pink Floyd was just ME." To me, this just goes to show that...thank goodness David, Nick and Rick were there too! Greetings from Argentina.
real
PERFECT! 👏👏👏
Literally no lol
Literally yes lol@@bryan9587
Yeah. Roger really failed miserably with trying to prove that.
Houston - The Ego has landed.
Best Leonard Cohen song in years. Sounds strangely familiar too me, as if i’d heard it before.🤔
This is actually terrifying if you imagine that the middle poetry part is directed at someone we all know and love. I hope that’s not the case, but yeah, my mind went there.
Legit it’s god dam unthinkable someone would ruin or downgrade there own song 50 years later I don’t know anyone else that would do that
This is one hell of a start! It could be made into a monster if you all pulled together as a team!
Oh my god
He really did it. Thank you.
Here have a cigar. 💨
@@malcolmadams2105 Thanks man
Oh my god Roger became the Pig
I wish i could hug ans tell Roger to ignore all of you still caught in the far out dreams of 1973 . He stands . That's it . Brilliant. How much more it all hurts than when i first heard this song . Get a grip ...raw ..no frills... remember hes fucking nearly 80 . After a lifetime of battles and seeing us all casually slide over the cliff to annihilation what do you want .... For those that can listen ....hear
Deep & as dark as ever, love the words jack, thanx Bro.
Simultaneously demonstrating why the original version of Money and Leonard Cohen's vibe were so iconic by showing what it would have been like if they had both been done very badly. Genius!
Leonard Cohen immediately came to mind when I heard this!
Why didn't he do that Hallelujah one instead. Me and Granny Irene love that one.
Sounds more like Tom Waits to me than Leonard....🤣
I think you are all onto something here - this sounds...derivative (and overwrought). The original was exactly that - original. And evidently it depended on that exact mix of talent to pull it off. A lot of musicians have remarked that PF's music isn't all that technically complex, but that each and every stroke is precisely where it needs to be, perfectly composed and performed. I would have to agree. To my way of thinking, this is kind of like that awful remake of Casablanca a few years back. I mean, why would anyone even attempt such an undertaking?
It's time to retire, Roger
The line "And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes, I'll see you on the dark side of the moon" was written for Syd Barrett. But now it's for you, Roger.
This is how I sing in the shower trying to make myself laugh
Dark Side Of The Moon is timeless. It's just as intense listening to it now in my 50s, as it was when I first heard it in the 70s when I was growing up. Every song on the album is amazing and evokes emotions and stirs the soul in the most beautiful way musically possible.
With that being said I feel that the "updated" Waters versions of the songs that have been released so far, is like putting a hat on a hat... except the new hat looks funny and doesn't quite fit right. I know some will say I'm closed minded and not open to experimentation blah, blah, blah. But this MY personal opinion. I've listened to Pink Floyd and this album respectively my whole life. My mom put her vig ass 70s headphones on her pregnant belly with me inside and played Pink Floyd repeatedly. She played it when I was a fussy baby (as I certainly did with my daughter) and I remember the smell of cannabis and nag champa incense flowing through the house on the days she cranked the speakers on her elderly record player and played Dark Side Of The Moon. She was famous for her pot brownies too😅
(Rest In Peace mom "Spacey Kay C.")
Anyway, I've heard covers of Floyd songs throughout the years that were good and some bad. I wouldn't say that Waters version is bad necessarily, since it's essentially his baby, but I just think it's unnecessary. Unless he had some way to make that album even MORE amazing I guess I just don't understand why. So I think it's a fail so far. Sounds more like an over ambitious art student project of some kind. Bu
t I respect him as a musician for giving it a go
Maybe he was bored. I don't see why people are so obsessed about it. It's not a replacement. I've seen other artists perform very different version of their classics before. I guess he's going to redo every song, but I don't see how it is that different.
Maybe the pig likes to hear his own grunt, or the dog his own bark. The poetry is great, but the vocals seem too heavy and monotonous in Waters' new "Money" for my liking.
You had a great Mom :)
@@andrewlkozar
Thanks man, appreciate it!
She passed 17 years ago but her memory lives on in my daughter who looks just like her.
My mom made the best hash brownies ever! One bite and you needed to sit yourself down. Her nickname was 'Spacey-KayC' for a reason. She was an amazing woman. Stronger than any man I know, and she raised a son all by herself in the 70s and 80s.
Thank you for the comment man it really means a lot!
You're a good person!
To people who say “no Roger, no Floyd” I say “no David, Rick and Nick, no Floyd”
Not a single person claimed this to be Floyd.
@@emilspec1227First time looking at PF social media, huh?
Well done in getting that wrong,no Syd no Floyd ever.
Eu diria que você não é um cara muito inteligente .. desprovido de pouca capacidade intelectual . Provavelmente precisa de ajuda para limpar a propria bunda .
@@worrok789 no, I'm just a masochist by nature.
I think Waters wanted to remind us how the brilliance of DSotM was primarily in his prowess as a lyricist and conceptualist. Ironically, by deliberately flatlining all of the trademark interplay and dynamics and excising Parry's and Gilmour's iconic solos in favor of an open mic night poetry slam, he actually destroys his own argument.
I think he succeeded in reminding us why his solo stuff never came close to the achievements of Pink Floyd's albums.
@user-js9xm7oc9n Sorry I disagree with you...
It's different, it is what it is and better represents 2023's same greed of people & greed of governing bodies
Sounds like you expected him to mimic the original or expected it to go toe to toe with it. Of course this was going to be completely different and reimagined. I'm looking forward to hearing it all
Oh come on. The first comment I read is this crap again? Let's just enjoy the idea of this album and stop inserting your insecurities and stupid assumptions.
@@sandrablackburn4583there is no lyrical difference, how does it convey the message "better" than the original?
I LOVE the string arrangements on this!
Roger Waters be sounding like Tom Waits. I dig it.
“True fans will know that this is what Roger’s first draft sounded like back before the original was recorded!”
- So, that means the original draft was shite, then? Thank goodness for the creative collaboration that brought us the final result.
yeah and Paul McCartneys original lyrics for Let it Be were "need to pee" sooooooooooooooo
it needs to sound good too; sparky.
You don't mess with a MASTERPIECE
Its his own song
@abc-oq7dt "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". "Just because you can, doesnt mean you should"
@@a-spicy-amemeball8063 He didn't replace the original, you can still listen to it as much as you want.
It sounds brilliant! What a gift to have the original writer revisit the songs from another angle 50 years later. Listen to the original and stop complaining
Sounds like Animal from the muppets,a truly awful pointless version
Woke up this morning, and you got yourself a gun...I mean some Money.
To everyone complaining:
Go listen to the whole album as one, just like we did with the original.
It works brilliantly.
I've changed my whole view on the Redux after, hope you guys try it, it's really worth it.
This just made me want to go back and listen to the original.
I know 😭😢💵
So go do it. Let people who want to move forward and let go off the past enjoy this.
@@bryan9587 You cannot convince me that the future people would much rather move forwards to is the one containing this God awful spat of a remake
Yeah the original is way god dam better
As the musical extension of Roger's verbal belittling of his former bandmates' contribution to Dark Side of the Moon, I think this backfires spectacularly. Like a swan dive into an empty swimming pool.
Totally agree, not true and rather embarrassing, and as for this version, he just borrowed Tom Waits style and made it as about as interesting as watching paint dry.
@@divernater At least Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton added musical interest to some of Waters' better solo records. This is tedious and embarrassing.
He never belittled the contributions of the bandmates, which is more than obvious in the announcement he's published for this redux. This badmouthing from the so called fans has become more than pathetic
“I wrote The Dark Side of the Moon,” he asserted at the time in an interview with The Telegraph. “Let’s get rid of all this ‘we’ crap! Of course we were a band, there were four of us, we all contributed - but it’s my project and I wrote it. So… blah!”
@@Kurbisa "Well, Nick [Mason, drummer] never pretended. But Gilmour and Rick? They can't write songs, they've nothing to say.
"They are not artists. They have no ideas - not a single one between them. They never have had, and that drives them crazy." - Roger Waters
Unfortunately for you, Google exists, chump
Great Strings,DSOTM was one of my first musical epiphanies when in 1974, as a 7 years, my Neighbour in the Black Forest where I lived invited us to listen to the whole album….I still have my original vinyl……I like this version nevertheless……a prophetic vision in 1973 and a confirmation today
Who else is not listening in 2023?
Well this says a lot about why Floyd was able to move on without Roger. I'll take the post-Waters albums over this car wreck any day. But, you know, I like actual music with my music.
Hell yeah, division bell is one of my favorites and it's literally just them saying "fuck off" to roger.
Really really dropped the ball with this one, Roger
He's about to turn 80 years old. He shits himself and wears diapers, but his grandchildren need more millions of dollars, for once he's no longer around. The Roger Waters estate and BMG music want every penny out of this mf they can get.
I think this is the single best comments section I've ever read.
Sorry Roger, you'll never be Leonard Cohen
And people said The Division Bell was boring
Hmm...not boring, just lame af.
The Division Bell is a great album
I fking love the division Bell
TDB è un album pietoso.
I PF sono finiti quando Roger se n’è andato amico mio
Division Bell is a Top album for sure I say! How's them APPLES 🍎 🍏 😂
