#RogerWaters - Hudba
I thought The Final Cut had amazing production. Even with Rick’s keyboard work being missed, the drums and guitar sounds crisp, the mix sounds clean, and I love how the sound effects are utilized.
And sometimes the dynamics are so insane it literally scares the hell out of you with it going from a whisper to an explosion in very short periods of time.
@@aliensporebomb I know that this is a late reply, but I feel like those moments are pretty cool, with them showing off how horrible things can happen when you least expect them
Roger, Your Possible Pasts has the proper dynamics it's what makees this track what it is. Thank you for the Final Cut - in particular.
I was going to say the same.
The simplicity of your music live is what always captured me when i was young. Pure coheciveness from within each of you on stage!!!
Hey, the band broke up decades ago. Cohesiveness?
Roger, Thank you for your reply! Still The Final Cut is my all time favorite of Pink Floyd! It’s the piece from the first second to the final which really touch me! And luckily almost all the album you sand it yourself! I consider your voice much heartfelt, the way more sincere than Dave’s!
I’d really want someday to hear this masterpiece live!
It’s so sad you never played it live in the whole version! As the Amused to death work!
Thank you, dear Roger, for all!
P.S. I have a question… but I’m so impressed about this one… it’ll next comment
It used to be my favorite but I realized it was too depressing and messed with my psyche. However the song "The FInal Cut" from that album is still a gem. Echoes, Shine on you crazy diamond, comfortably numb, Welcome to the Machine, Yet another Movie, Time, Things left unsaid, and Learning to fly are my go to PF songs. Side note: Roger Waters song the powers that be is kinda cool too
If your favorite album is The Final Cut you clearly don't even get Pink Floyd's escence
@@fitnessmusic3329 PF had 14 albums spamming over 40 years. To try and say they had a single aspect of ingenuity, creativity, beauty and inspiration is embarrassing.
Curious, I've always love that drum.....
That drum part has always been one of my favourite moments in the album!
Souvenirs
I understand Rog's perspective however I think TFC is a masterpiece the way it is. I absolutely love the loud drums cause they really hit you hard full of emotion. TFC is one of the best produced albums that I've ever heard.
The Final Cut was a more solo album than a Pink Floyd album. It was the worst Floyd album with weak vocals. How David Gilmour put up with this dross is beyond me.
@@andrewmorgan302 He put up with it because David couldn't come up with anything better at the time.
@@flyk3n He is a better songwriter than David but Gilmour is a far better musician. Since the split I don’t like Roger’s solo albums because the songs are poor and too political. By contrast Gilmour’s albums are better with Rattle that Lock album outstanding.
I saw Waters in concert recently and it was good apart from his foul mouthed political tirade.
Roger has written some wonderful Floyd songs However he opened the concert with Comfortably Numb with no guitar solo!!!
@@andrewmorgan302 At this point you should expect a Waters concert to be heavily politically driven. That's just who he is and always has been. I wouldn't go to one of his shows to hear someone other than Gilmour play his solos note for note anyway. At that point why not go to a cover band show instead if you just want to experience the greatest hits?
@@flyk3n Good point. I have seen a cover band who were excellent.
Merry Christmas, Roger! Thank you for all the wonderful music over the years!
I think radio Kaos could do with a good remake
Great choice. Solid songs, but definitely a production fail on a few levels.
The final cut is a masterpiece 🙏
Absolutely...🎼☮️👊
It was a huge disappointing follow up to The Wall, imo
The Final Cut is a masterpiece. Flawless. I love the quiet/loud dynamics of tracks like YPP.
That album has excellent dynamics, totally agree! Roger was always good at that. Go from a whisper to screaming in a moment
Glad someone else views the Final Cut as a masterpiece! I’ll never understand why people hate it so much.
Absolutely right. It´s a very emotional piece of music and poetry.
Interesting take & view on the production of that album, Roger - very... songwriter-ish, so to speak.
Totally understand what you mean, but to me ans for my taste, the production of The Final Cut is flawless. From a Floydian sonic history standpoint, despite missing Rick's legendary keyboard work it sounds like the culmination of many things and trends the band outlined or pioneered: it's ambiental, immersive, startling, touching, emotional, engaging, outspoken, political and personal and relatable.
And it sounds HUGE.
The drums and guitar solos in "Fletcher Memorial Home" and "The Final Cut" are thunderously powerful, like an oversized rhino breaking down the Hoover dam.
And those parts you mention, in "Your Possible Pasts", are what I play in the studio to explain the power of dynamics in rock... or to startle the unwary passenger in my car.
💥👌🏼
The final cut sounds like Roger's first solo album with the assistance of Gilmour and Mason. Sorry, but there is no real Pink Floyd sound to me without Wright's iconic and unique keyboard play, whether he was writing songs or not. Brought so much sensitivity and texture to the sound. However when he did (like his solo work) I think it was also remarkable.
As odd as it may be for some, at aged 17 I heard The Final Cut album and it became my favourite Pink Floyd record over many years thereafter. To this day, it's my go-to record whenever I add a new bit of kit or make some other change to my audio setup, as I know and love every moment of that record. It's a stunning album, and it blew the bloody doors off the possibilities that a rock album could be. At the risk of sounding parochial here, it's just about the last of the great English rock albums, and it talks about my homeland in an unshowy but passionate way that I've never heard captured before or since. I've remained a fan particularly of Roger ever since then, including his version of Pink Floyd, which is the definitive one if the category is outstanding english rock bands, and own all the albums (including one of the mega-set The Wall copies limited to 1500) and have attended at least once to a concert on each of his tours ever since - including Ca Ira which I travelled to Poznan for. So I hope that The Final Cut stays pretty much the same!! I personally think that Animals is ripe for reexamination - there's much on there that could be added to lyrically, as well as being thematically updated, and I can find some of the musical longueurs at times a little boring.
The Final Cut is a underrated masterpiece, but I get what Roger is saying here.
Even when I was first listening to it back in the day, you can kind of feel a stylistic tug of war though out the album and none of the members got completely what they wanted in the final product.
its essentially a solo album.
There's really something to be said here, Roger. There's a newer band called Larkin Poe that plays stripped down versions of rock classics and their own original songs usually with an acoustic guitar, lap steel guitar (sometimes a dobro is substituted), and vocals only. They've played a cover of Wish You Were Here this way on CZcams. The lyrics are more meaningful and the emotions are deeper this way. I wish you and your family a Happy Christmas. 👍💖🎸😎
It's a great album.
I was 90% sure that you would name him.
Hello from Russia 😊
Roger, you need to know when to put down the pencil. Star Wars didn't need to have CGI dewbacks to 'fix it'. Final Cut is a masterpiece and still one of my favorite albums of all time. You're too close to it and the industry. It came out at a time when CDs and digital media were new and the dynamic range was part of the experience. It WASN'T one level of loudness. That range allowed it to go from melancholy to rage and back. I still sweat through the end of Hero's Return and down into the subtlety of Gunner's Dream: "a place to stay, enough to eat..." Listening to it now. It's perfect.
Some things are just better left alone.
Nick Mason on drums was the secret star on Your Possible Pasts. Any remix would be a disimprovement just as the remix of Amused To Death is.
Great musician and great human
Great lyricist, as a musician is highly mediocre
@@luismontero9793 you obviously never listen to dark side of the moon
So glad to hear a REAL answer. I was afraid he was going to say something like, "I'm doing to do a Wall or WYWH redux next". Instead, doing a remix of TFC (similar to Animals) not only seems reasonable, but also a good idea after he describes the drums in "Your Possible Pasts". Now I can't unhear it.
Please final cut Roger. Thanks for following us here on streaming
Simple, pure, at a basic level that is what i liked about your work
The Final Cut will always be the best Pink Floyd album for me.
Я бы спросил какой Ваш любимый альбом ?...или песня
Justo esa parte del álbum es una de mis favoritas, resalta mucho en la canción 😢😮
I love that drum part in fact, but a remake or Reddux of the final cut would be amazing.
Dear Roger................ You are a awesome soul.........Happy holidays............Having heard old live stuff on youtube I would if you have live tapes make a collection of live music such as a 3 or 4 disc set of unreleased live stuff from your time in Floyd. Especially include the song Obscured by Clouds.........which is absolutely awesome live when played LOUD.
Also Welcome to the Machine. Peace.
I Roger that!
oh no roger , that loud drum hit makes that part - thats the impact that the statement back up . its perfect how it is , i always loved that , but hey its not the first time i could be incorrect and i try to let it slide i am i mean i am human so ...
I actually agree. Great answer. Still, the biggest thing missing from this album was a bigger keyboard/piano presence. To cut out richard and then quiet down almost all of the key parts on a floyd album was a big mistake i think.
Роджер спасибо
Such an underrated artist - great to see him finally getting the recognition he well deserves.
underrated? in which world you are living man 😆😆 he is a living legend
I can totally understand why you would want to redo THE FINAL CUT, it was so stressful for you from what I have heard. I think a redo of that album would be interesting.
I know it's one of the less popular albums, but the Final Cut is definitely my favorite. There's just something so raw about it, that it just gets right down to my heart.
Not to mention that I was listening to it A LOT during a hard time in my life, so it has some strong sentimentality from that.
I second that notion.
Same
It was the first album that I heard and it was the dinamics of it that capture me ever since! A masterpiece!
I totally disagree. But hey it is his music. Those drums for me were just spot on.
I wouldn't change a thing on that album.
hands off Nick Mason's drumming.
Every beat is amazing. a punctuation to the excellence.
I actually agree with Roger on this one (I did a whole review of The Final Cut). I think it had the potential to be a good album and I certainly appreciate the lyrical content speaking for WWII veterans but yeah obviously with Rick gone and tensions between the band, it made it difficult to capture the vibe heard on all their 70s records.
THE WALL ... Please.. It would mean the world to me😮
nah over done and overplayed,cant beat the original 1980 tour fantastic,only the 1977 tour for me was better best gig ever
We can all play that game.
I agree Roger. There are a few moments on Final Cut which could be gone over with the benefit of hindsight. The album I would really rework is Animals. In the studio it just wasn't "angry" enough IMHO. Just a little too flat and polished, especially with all the raw punk stuff around
Would love to see The Final Cut re-mix/edited via your more recent approach (Is this the Life.., DSOTM Redux). Maybe you can get Nick to finally play the drums of Two Suns.
I always think of KAOS On The Road/Radio KAOS as the full summation of what Final Cut started. That said I'd love to see Radio KAOS' live show get a FULL release. I know there's like 8 tracks of it out there on Roger's page but the full 30-some track version of the concert is my holy grail of live albums.
This time signature is not his thing. He couldn't play it on Mother neither. And I'd be curious too to listen to The Definitive Cut.
Funny, for a second I forgot it was a PF album. Totally more of a Roger solo album.
Love it though.
The redux of dark side was quite subtle & rather cleverly done. By no means meant to replace the orig, but more to tip a greyer & older head to it's continuing relevancy. But any other album being remade would be a very hard ask, given the depth of each track & the placing of them on their respective albums.
Would LOVE you to take a crack at the FInal Cut. It's one of my favorite Floyd albums, actually.
I couldn't disagree more. The production on The Final Cut is one of its many strengths. It is dramatic material that requires a dramatic sound. The forward drums in the mix lends itself to that 40's war-era feel of the record. It's positively transcendant and i think that the album is criminally overlooked in the Pink Floyd canon.
Agreed. Love how hot the drums are
Can The Wall movie be released on 4k, and the 5.1 mix by James Guthrie released?
I like the drums on 'Collection of Great Dance Songs' version of 'Money'!
The Final Cut album is my absolute favorite. After decades I still love it. Just the other day I thought to learn the songs on my keyboard as I still have the music book when it was published years ago!
I think a redone Wall would be incredible with the cut songs like "The Hero's Return", "Reminiscing", "When the Tigers Broke Free", and "Vera" on side 1, "What Shall We Do Now?" replacing "Empty Spaces" on side 2, and "Your Possible Pasts" and "The Final Cut" on side 3, with "Comfortably Numb" having the orchestral intro and opening side 4 instead of ending side 3. To be clear, this would have guitars and drums on it, not like the Dark Side of the Moon Redux which is good, but more like spoken poetry.
In my opinion a lot of the core themes and Pink Floyd sound of The Wall got lost during production when Ezrin added the poppy disco vibe, it's still a good record, but Rick's influence is so unfortunately diminished compared to his synth work on some of those demos.
If Waters would redo the solo album he did in 1987 "Radio K.A.O.S.", that would be great as well. It would be especially fitting as Jim Ladd unfortunately passed away a few months ago.
Es realmente muy alta en volumen esa parte. Remarca el dramatismo con un sacudón, pero quizás sacarlo refuerce una tensión. Ojalá lo hagan.
Will we ever receive
Pink floyd the wall 1982 film on bluray & 4k
I always thought Final Cut was all about those dynamics. That's what makes it so special to me. The dynamic range is insane and it's part of what makes it so engaging and emotional.
Would you ever consider playing at the Las Vegas Sphere?
Hi Roger, Guytarýn here, merry christmas🎄and warm wishes for the new year from us
Roger, please before you do that. At least remaster the 1978 solo tapes you recorded which became Bricks in the Wall / Spare Bricks / Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking. Only 30 second snippets of some tracks were released on The Wall Immersion box set (and they were wonderful). I pray they're released or someone finds the master tapes before I die. Your music means a lot to me Roger! Thank you ❤
Possible pasts is perfect just the way it is in my opinion.
Sometimes you have to wonder where peoples minds are, it's like asking Ringo if the Beatles were ever going to have a reunion and I've heard them ask it
My thoughts exactly about the drums loudness in Possible Pasts. For nearly 30 years of listening to the Final Cut, I thought that loudness was intentional but after hearing Roger, it turned out to be not the case :)
I became a massive fan of Floyd after hearing Fat Old Sun on the John Peel show in ‘72. Went to every London show, bought every album up to Animals which for me was the pinnacle. Lost them at The Wall. Never heard Final Cut. It was all about new wave by then. But on the rare occasion Echoes comes on the radio I’m transported back to those days when Floyd were the greatest band on the planet. Merry Christmas to Roger, David, Nick and everyone. RIP Richard you are not forgotten.
RIP Rick and Syd 🙏
I became a Floyd fan around the same time hearing Echoes from my brother’s room. Bought all the back catalogue and Wish You Were Here was the pinnacle for me. I too lost them at The Wall and concur with everything else you said.
Its a bit of a strange question, but I appreciate Rogers answer.
Es una maravilla oírles, por cierto , pienso como este sñr sobre el genocidio palestino,el pueblo palestino hace muchos años esta siendo masacrado , la música de estos chicos tiene mucho contenido , quedará para la historia , 👏👏👏
The Final Cit is my favourite PF album and I think it is amazing but I wouldn’t say no to a new version. Men’s we can enjoy it all over again. May be an acoustic version. Would be amazing.
Roger, the younger generation sees us as useless idiots. I'm so glad you are still doing what you do. And whether they like you or not they like your music.
Roger you may have wrought it ole Bean but the drums in that song are fuckin perfect.Merry Christmas ole chum.x
I hope this Christmas season will take you closer to all those that you desire in your heart. Wishing you and your family good health, never-ending happiness, peace, and prosperity this Christmas and in the coming years... Merry Christmas❤🎄✨
And so the Final Cut is actually not finalized?
he makes a good point, the final cut has the theatrical edge of the wall, but the problem is EVERY SONG has the big theatrical edge, whereas the wall mixed theatrical songs with other genres songs to create a mixed and interesting album. If the final edge had that bit more variety like the wall had, it would’ve been a very good album.
That's the part I had in mind when he said possible pasts, but I do love how dramatic it is. A very absent feeling album so those moments I think are needed. Love it nonetheless!
I love the way he was imitating himself singing a song of the final cut.
"BAYUM! DO YOU REMEMBER MEEEAH"
Interesting take & view on the production of that album, Roger - very... songwriter-ish, so to speak.
Totally understand what you mean, but to me and for my taste, the production of The Final Cut is flawless. From a Floydian sonic history standpoint, despite missing Rick's legendary keyboard work it sounds like the culmination of many things and trends the band outlined or pioneered: it's ambiental, immersive, startling, touching, emotional, engaging, outspoken, political and personal and relatable.

Please, do re-release Pros and Cons.
I can't find the vinyl anywhere
Try Discogs.
That's my sexy baby love Roger Waters answering a letter from a fan talking about his redux album
Haha, I always felt that way about that bloody song... talk about being 'dynamic', that snare was painful heehe,, still loved it tho. The guitar solo is wonderful.
Great man, i do applause his and his colleagues music. He is the lion of rock
The Final cut is one of the if not "THE" favourite album is mine. I memorized whole album of the Final cut, The wall, Dark side, Wish you were here, Pros & cons & of course Amused to death. ... I knew it's gonna happened & I waited for the right moment finally when I was 17 Amused to death in 1992 & in a fateful midnight The Final cut & Dark side got me to Pink Floyd & Roger waters. .. never bothered to listen to other Pink floyd albums after the final cut instead always cherished Roger's solos. .. 1:05 it was perfect as it is in my humble opinion but who knows what'd be like if it otherwise.
Remake Music From The Body.😂
Love your music/lyrics with PF and your solo stuff. Amused To Death is awesome.
So many great songs, if I had to pick one as best it would probably be Time, or Shine On pts 1 through 9, or Mother, or Dogs, or Hey You, or When The Tigers Broke Free, or We Were Watching TV, or Home, or.....
😂😂
I love the drums on your possible pasts 😭
I think his answer is the EVERY SINGLE ONE where David was involved, we all know that..
The Final cut is one of the if not "THE" favourite album of mine. I memorized whole album of the Final cut, The wall, Dark side, Wish you were here, Meddle, Pros & cons & of course Amused to death. ... I knew it's gonna happened & I waited for the right moment finally when I was 17 Amused to death in 1992 & in a fateful midnight The Final cut & Dark side got me to Pink Floyd & Roger waters. .. never bothered to listen to other Pink floyd albums after the final cut instead always cherished Roger's solos. .. 1:05 it was perfect as it is in my humble opinion but who knows what'd be like if it otherwise.
Hard questions....Well Be Happy Roger and have a Healthy Safe New Year/////// Ima kinda Stoned...
You are the best. Always
A mí me encanta "two suns in the sunset". Todavía, tristemente, es muy actual. Esas imágenes a la vez tan vívidas y metafóricas, a la vez tan tristes y serenas, como que ya no hay nada por lo que luchar... "Could be the human race is done?". Ese desconsuelo, que a mí a veces me aporta un poco de consuelo... Pero la vida sigue...
The Final Cut was given to me as my first CD in 1985. It is my favorite album of any. The acoustic dynamics (including the drums), story telling, and poetic production make it a piece of fine art. Please do not remake it. I would wish that you would honor it more in your live shows. God bless.
I actually like Final Cut but as for drums (and I even say this as a drummer), the whole album is silence until BAM, BOODOO DO YOU REMEMBER ME parts. It's not the mix, it's the writing. Poor old Nick had nothing to do in that album until he was needed for explosions. It's less of an album and more of an audio book set to music, before but not exceeding the amount in Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking.
But Roger! Those are my favorites parts of that song!!! I like it just how it is!
Hope you have a great Xmas Roger, there's one thing I would never re-make & that is you, I think your mother done such a wonderful job, not just in raising you, but by educating you & teaching you to do the right thing, you're a good man👍
I can't stand to have negativity be the top response here. The Final Cut is an emotional masterpiece. The writing is some of the most personal Roger has ever done, yet the album catches h e double hockey sticks because of all the behind the scenes stuff that shouldn't really matter.
It contains the last line Pink Floyd ever produced together and maybe the most powerful.
Ashes and Diamonds.
Foe and Friend.
We were all equal, in the end.
It is so on purpose from top to bottom.
The dissolution of childhood friendship.
It is a goodbye letter to us and to his father.
I've never understood the hate it gets.
An Animals 2018 remix treatment of The Final Cut, Pros and Cons and Radio KAOS would be much appreciated.
Roger Waters - Which other album would you remake👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Trying too hard? I think it captured PTSD perfectly and that was the point of that album, taking you through that journey
Do you know any Sea shanty's?
Nope. Don't change one board setting on TFC. The drum sound is killer.
I don't mind admitting that as a kid in the 80s with a Pink Floyd-loving dad, I didn't think much of The Final Cut. I liked "Not Now John" and that was about it. But then I grew up, decided to give it another spin, and with a few more years (well, decades...) on the clock, everything made sense. I think you need a bit of maturity - or at least an understanding of the era (Thatcher, The Falklands, the IRA, the destruction of British industry, the betrayal of the "Post War Dream," the threat of nuclear armageddon hanging over everyone, etc.) - to really "get" that album. But when you do get it, it's a bit special.
Final Cut thematically makes way more sense mixed theatrically than as a “band” sound, you got it right the first time.
The Final Cut!! Please!
As far as I'm concerned, Rodger can redo everything he ever did.
Not to take away _anything_ from those classics, but to _add_ another point of view to them. I thought his redo of Comfortably Numb was absolutely brilliant in every way, as is the original.
Art needs room to breathe.
Let it.
I agree with your assessment with the drum on Your Possible Pasts. I have always thought of it as overbearing but still enjoyed it....I was 23 when the album came out and still have it and the cassette and the CD.
Well.... the dynamics in Your Possible Past are what give the track depth and meaning in my view.... heavy drum fills followed by pleading vocals. Coming off the success of The Wall, I can see the tendancy to try and overproduce The Final Cut. ....Peculiar you mention "just the band" playing the songs.... sadly doesnt seem there was much of one left by then... the realization of an impossible past.
ROGER, IN THE END, WHO IS PINK?
