Awesome album and song and a great video. I wish David Gilmour and Roger Waters could have settled their differences before Rick Wright passed away in 2008, a full reunion of Pink Floyd would have been epic to see. By the way, does anyone know who the woman in this video is with the monkey on her shoulder and walking the poodle? Because she is a real knockout as well as the epitome of the expression "I love the way her 2 legs make a perfect ass of themselves." xD
Roger's record company wanted him to make something more contemporary after Pros and Cons. I like this album, and not just because I played on it! @@MIB_63
I really like this album as a period piece. I think people who give it shit for it being "too eighties" miss the point -- it's pastiching eighties radio culture and radio cuts of the era.
@@catfan-si4mk I like it but could have been a lot better IMO, it's incoherent as a concept album if you compare it to the final cut or the wall, you can't really understand the concept of the album without reading about it first. They also cut out a lot of tracks which flesh out the story a lot, there's a "fan cut" on youtube somewhere that has the demo tapes for those tracks. Still, musically I think it's roger's strongest solo album and has the most interesting/original concept
@@morisan42 Great comment you really summarized it up quite nicely. I always felt it was rushed to production to compete with Momentary Lapse of Reason, which sucked by the way. This is def is Roger's best album and my 3rd favorite "Floyd" album.
Used to listen to this album on a Tape in the car with my Dad when I was little, always loved it, but appreciate it so much more as an adult. I want to be home with my monkey and my dog.
Remind me of road trips with my dad and cousin. I used to love all their music. I started producing my own music and come back to this album all the time to listen to perfection on production, sound engineering, back ups everything. Played a big part on my prod skills. Roger is a Geeeenius
How absolutely perfect it is with a genius performance both vocally and instrumentally sarcasm, so any complaints about this Roger album is blindness. This genius album will be appreciated more than time.
LYRICS: [Verse 1: Roger Waters] I like staying with my Uncle Dave And I like playing with his Great Dane But I don't fit; I feel alien and strange Kinda out of range I like riding in my Uncle's car Down to the beach where the pretty girls all parade And movie stars and paparazzi play The Charles Atlas kicking sand in the face game [Chorus: Waters] And I sit in the canyon with my back to the sea There's a blood red dragon on a field of green Calling me back, back to the Black Hills again [Post-Chorus: Background Vocals] Ooh-ooh, Billy come home [Verse 2: Waters] Billy is searching for his native land Flicking through the stations with the dial in his head Picking up *Signal Voice* And a male voice choir on the short wave band Billy taps out Jim's number on the phone He sits shaking as he waits for Jim's answering tone Come on my friend, speak to me please The land of my fathers is calling to me [Chorus: Waters] And I sit in the canyon with my back to the sea There's a blood red dragon on a field of green Calling me back, back to the Black Hills again [Post-Chorus: Background Vocals & Waters] Ooh-ooh, Billy come home Come on home [Chorus: Waters] He sits in the canyon with his back to the sea Sees a blood red dragon on a field of green He hears a male voice choir singing [Post-Chorus: Background Vocals & Waters, Only Waters] Billy come home Yeah, Billy come home Come on home [Instrumental Outro (with Spoken: Californian Weirdo)] (I don't like fish) (Green fish) (I don't like fish)
i agree radio kaos is up their with the best of Floyd ,I like staying with my uncle dave,but I love playing with his two great danes; the best lyrical lyricists by far.
Roger hates it, which is silly, it’s very fun and not so dark as usual. He sat in his studio and thought it up, wrote lyrics, played every instrument including Sax to kinda show that. His Floyd buddies could all be replaced by he alone. Thus his disdain. It was made out of anger. If you wonder what real Floyd would have been like, well there it is. Just saw his show in 18 and All that was needed was Roger. One old guy is enough, replacing the old gang is simple. There really is no uniqueness there. Roger does a perfect Dave on Powers That Be. Simple but beautiful melodies. Roger wrote em anyway.
You wake up In the morning Get something for the Pot Wonder why the Sun makes the Rocks feel Hot Draw on Walls Get Laid Back ln the good old Days Then some damn fool Invents the Wheel Listen to the white walls Squeal Ya spend all day looking for a parking spot Nothing for the Heart Nothing for the Pot. Proooooofound.🙏
“And I sit in the canyon with my back to the sea There's a blood-red dragon on a field of green Calling me back, back to the Black Hills again” This must be about Wales, right ?
A long time ago in the day in the days of Yahoo answers the question was what song has the lyrics "stands in the canyon with his back to the sea sees a blood red dragon on a field of green" so I answered this song and my answer was marked wrong. Somebody else posted a different song and got it right. I've never to date heard the song is that the person was referring to. This was the late 2000s It bothered me such that i still think of it.
I used to have Radio Kaos on VHS cassette in the 80s, a black background with a green transmitter over it. I lent it to a friend back then, not seen him or the VHS since. Lol.
Roger w. un genio de esta clase de música de los años 56 hasta hoy en día Qué gran banda fundador junto a un gran compositor y guitarrista Syd Barrett.esto es Pink Floyd.son geniales y su música nunca se olvidará por generaciones...
very underrated album; so good!

My 8 year old daughter Imogen who has Autism and Special needs Loves this song. Now owns The Album
Is rite Imogen it's a great album to own isn't it, I absolutely love this album myself it's one of my favourites
she has great taste
A great song .. oh bless her cottons .. she has good taste in music xx
The sound engineering is such a great part if this album. It's one of the cleanest productions ever.
But also very 80s sounding.
i like the political side of it, the whole anti-government theme really sold it for me
The late lamented Nick Griffiths as I recall
Roger's record company wanted him to make something more contemporary after Pros and Cons. I like this album, and not just because I played on it!
@@MIB_63
Roger is the only rock musician that I love whatever he has composed; there isn't even one bad song among his works.
Corporal clegg sucks ass
Rest in Peace, Jim Ladd.
Radio KAOS is so good to listen at night.
That bass tho,, Roger be thumping. :)
I love Rogers solo stuff..this was a GREAT ALBUM
Even the story of Billy and his brother is also brilliant
Me and Benny went out …
Один из моих любимых альбомов!
One of the best concerts I've ever attended
I WISH I could have seen this concert! I got turned on to this album about a year or so after.
I really like this album as a period piece. I think people who give it shit for it being "too eighties" miss the point -- it's pastiching eighties radio culture and radio cuts of the era.
It IS an 80’s album. And his best album. 😉
@@SpinfueleMag his best? Uh...

Roger is the man still love every song on this album timeless 🏴🏴👌
It’s about a Welsh kid, not Scottish lol
@@jaybowden2658 being Scottish you are correct when cant ppl herd rogers say so your from valley and let the welsh kid talk
When this came out it was casettes.then came cds all these years you tube .still love every song like its 1988 a ll over .
Why is this not a movie? It has a great story and soundtrack. It would
be so easy to turn this into a script. Someone get on that. Roger?
I always thought they could merge the pros and cons of hitchhiking and this album into a very entertaining movie. I'd still like to see that!
Haven't played this album in a good many years....this track just sent shivers ! AFL !
Finally get to listen to the whole album .love every song .at first I thought that was real dog till she told me it's the music.
Хорошую музыку всегда видно, даже издалека
Fantastic album. Those were the days.
Rest In Peace to Jim Ladd (the DJ)
I loved cranking this one up on the highway to work....nice driving song ;)
I love this album!!!
My all time favorite rock song of all time. Yeah really. Seriously.
I used to skip this song, but now I have a new perspective and it's genius brings a tear to my eye. Sitting with my back to the sea, thinking of home.
Used to listen to this album on a Tape in the car with my Dad when I was little, always loved it, but appreciate it so much more as an adult. I want to be home with my monkey and my dog.
I don't like fish
ps fist time i herd the dog barking i was in a mad heavy trip on mushroom my first , was shouting up at windows to shut the dug up lol
Honestly this video takes me away from the greatness of this song. I turn my eyes away.
You described most of the 80s and early 90s
Remind me of road trips with my dad and cousin. I used to love all their music. I started producing my own music and come back to this album all the time to listen to perfection on production, sound engineering, back ups everything. Played a big part on my prod skills. Roger is a Geeeenius
Big big song!!! Love it!!! From Argentina!!!
Brilliant number thanks 😊
How absolutely perfect it is with a genius performance both vocally and instrumentally sarcasm, so any complaints about this Roger album is blindness. This genius album will be appreciated more than time.
Roger’s finest!
LYRICS:
[Verse 1: Roger Waters]
I like staying with my Uncle Dave
And I like playing with his Great Dane
But I don't fit; I feel alien and strange
Kinda out of range
I like riding in my Uncle's car
Down to the beach where the pretty girls all parade
And movie stars and paparazzi play
The Charles Atlas kicking sand in the face game
[Chorus: Waters]
And I sit in the canyon with my back to the sea
There's a blood red dragon on a field of green
Calling me back, back to the Black Hills again
[Post-Chorus: Background Vocals]
Ooh-ooh, Billy come home
[Verse 2: Waters]
Billy is searching for his native land
Flicking through the stations with the dial in his head
Picking up *Signal Voice*
And a male voice choir on the short wave band
Billy taps out Jim's number on the phone
He sits shaking as he waits for Jim's answering tone
Come on my friend, speak to me please
The land of my fathers is calling to me
[Chorus: Waters]
And I sit in the canyon with my back to the sea
There's a blood red dragon on a field of green
Calling me back, back to the Black Hills again
[Post-Chorus: Background Vocals & Waters]
Ooh-ooh, Billy come home
Come on home
[Chorus: Waters]
He sits in the canyon with his back to the sea
Sees a blood red dragon on a field of green
He hears a male voice choir singing
[Post-Chorus: Background Vocals & Waters, Only Waters]
Billy come home
Yeah, Billy come home
Come on home
[Instrumental Outro (with Spoken: Californian Weirdo)]
(I don't like fish)
(Green fish)
(I don't like fish)
Definitely strange
i love the face roger makes when he says "home" haha
I admire this album, tide is turning...
Love this!
Awesome vid love the Welsh reference!
Still the best!!!! love this so much
i agree radio kaos is up their with the best of Floyd ,I like staying with my uncle dave,but I love playing with his two great danes; the best lyrical lyricists by far.
Nah the best post floyd is the division bell kicks the shit out of this bulllshit
@@meetthefloccers8112 division bell sounds like snearing snot. Boring and pathetic
Truer words were never spoken.
Seriously underrated album very Floydish
Love the album.
Fabulous album, the lyrics always brilliant and the music is a little different from Waters work but very good though.
It really was an 80s sound. No one could escape that sound, not even Roger LoL
Roger Plays All of the instruments, guitar too!
Roger hates it, which is silly, it’s very fun and not so dark as usual. He sat in his studio and thought it up, wrote lyrics, played every instrument including Sax to kinda show that. His Floyd buddies could all be replaced by he alone. Thus his disdain. It was made out of anger. If you wonder what real Floyd would have been like, well there it is.

Simple but beautiful melodies. Roger wrote em anyway.
Thanks for this upload! I have been waiting for this video since long time, because it was impossible to reach this original one.
A toda la magia de RW se le agrega el talento de Mel Collins en el solo de Saxo,,buen video
De un álbum que pasó desapercibido..... causado por la, por entonces, aparición de "A momentary lapse of reason".
Times were good, times were good...
Absaloute legend
Jesus, it it really 30yrs old?
Ages like a fine wine my friend, i really like Radio Waves and Me or Him
Now 33. I keep reciting parts of it to my brother. Highly influential and one of the best.
Almost 34
Great album!
I just read that we lost Jim Ladd at 75. 😢
Great album
Шикарно!!!
That is incredible subtle masterful guitar playing...wow. Who is playing thank you.
Andrew Fairweather-Low & Jay Stapley

Roger Waters да 30 лет назад уже выглядел старым! Однако он супер и молодец! Обожаю пинк флоид!
You wake up In the morning
Get something for the Pot
Wonder why the Sun makes the Rocks feel Hot
Draw on Walls
Get Laid
Back ln the good old Days
Then some damn fool Invents the Wheel
Listen to the white walls Squeal
Ya spend all day looking for a parking spot
Nothing for the Heart
Nothing for the Pot.
Proooooofound.🙏
Almost gives me Zappa - Joe's Garage kind of vibes. Cool song.
For sure! I can totally hear this on Joes Garage
With leather ?
@@AndyG_64 And rubber
Even Roger underates this album it IS THE SHIT!
Still better than PF same year
I’d love this to get the remastered deluxe Boxset treatment too. I guess he won’t do it. 😢
He hears The Male Voice Singing..
...Billy come home.
Sent from Sunny 🌞 Liverpool England 🏴 UK 🇬🇧
2019 y sigo escuchando está song es bueno el radio kaos
You hit it on the head Roger none has any respect for the’jocks’ any normal human being laughs so loud at them 😂
The song is about WALES.
Corny lyrics at times but it's always been a favourite of mine on Radio Kaos.
Master from music.❤ Radio Kaos is your the best album in my opinion. Very creative😊
The horns....Oh the horns.
Temazo!!!
Nothing better...smoke a J kick back and soak in this whole album.
“And I sit in the canyon with my back to the sea
There's a blood-red dragon on a field of green
Calling me back, back to the Black Hills again”
This must be about Wales, right ?
Undoubtedly..
Hiraeth
Yes
You mean sperm or blue?
@@micahwright5901 no you schmuck ... LOL well played

Does anyone know if these Radio Waves videos ever made it to DVD? I would LOVE to own these. My all time favorite Roger Waters album!
I used to have Radio Kaos on VHS cassette in the 80s, a black background with a green transmitter over it. I lent it to a friend back then, not seen him or the VHS since. Lol.
✨💖✨
The radio host is so done with person talking about fish, lmao.
What a track
zo good Roger waters dis music
That's the way I like it! ✌️
Roger w. un genio de esta clase de música de los años 56 hasta hoy en día Qué gran banda fundador junto a un gran compositor y guitarrista Syd Barrett.esto es Pink Floyd.son geniales y su música nunca se olvidará por generaciones...
Roger Waters is wearing the same shirt that Tommy Vercetti uses in GTA Vice City.
I like the dog
Which
The drummer always reminds me of Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn.)
Roger waters and cocaine equals Radio Kaos
Esto es muy ochentero men
Meanwhile in britain LEARNING TO FLY
O yes
This is nice song, why many dislikes? ☹
Katie Kissoon is flat out beautiful 😊
J.J. Jackson the VJ from the early 80's is the person that says "flounder" at the end.
Sayler, still looking for Ken ...LOl his Golden Retriever forever looked for Ken when he heard these dogs barking LOL
