“What’s his name sitting in the back playing Donkey Kong.”
Was that gilmour he was referring to?
@@SomeNiceChips Yes. They had a Donkey Kong arcade machine in their studio. It’s been reported on before that Gilmour spent much of his time playing it during the recording of the final cut.
It's evident to all of us that you took your song writing seriously and poured your soul in it. 👍👍👍
Interesting. I always consider that the golden years of PF did not include The Final Cur, but it did include Meddle.
The Final Cut is a great album, give it another go.
@@MaterLacrymarum So is Atom Heart Mother. But neither are their "Golden Years". TFC can't be included, for one, there's no Rick in it.
So, all post Waters Floyd doesn't count either? They're not Floyd albums? In fact, does any of the classic titles count post-Barrett?
Of course they count. And Final Cut is a Pink Floyd album. Says so, right on the cover.
@@parsa_4
Well, according to Waters, you don't have any common sense then.
@@MaterLacrymarum Pink Floyd yes, but the golden era of Pink Floyd No!. I think most think of the golden era as Dark Side, Wish, Animals and The Wall, but outside of that it’s pretty subjective. Personally I would rather listen to Atom Heart and Meddle to the Wall, but that’s just a personal thing. For me he concepts and lyrics are not as important than for most PF fans.
I saw him perform The Wall live about 10 years ago, and it still remains the coolest concert I’ve ever seen.
i think the same
Para mi también, es inolvidable. Bendiciones y saludos desde México
me too
Yeah same here
I saw the wall concert in london 1980, or 81. Amazing concert ❤
Donkey Kong 😂😂
Yea well David, Nick and Rick had very little to do on the Final Cut seeing it was a Waters solo album
@@CricketEngland more than what the others were allowed to do on gilmours original recording of AMLOR
For those hoping for closure between Roger and Dave, it's happened 3 times already. They did Live8 in 05, which I cried through the entire set.
I was good with just that.
Then they did a small benefit in 2010 with the HOPING foundation for Palestinians and as a thank you to Roger Dave did Comfortably Numb with Roger in his final Wall arena show in London in 2011. Nick was evan there banging the tambourine for Outside the Wall!
Given that ,i would think anything is possible but if that's all we get that's waaaay more than I ever expected. I'll take it as a win.
It's not unlike a marriage when in a band for so long. The more you know about someone and the closer you are to them makes for deeper resentments when you've had enough. They are elderly men now. Whether they reconcile or not does nothing to change what they have created both together and apart.
And please, please, PLEASE everyone stop bickering over who did this or that and just enjoy the music!
"The more you know about someone and the closer you are to them makes for deeper resentments when you've had enough." This is something I've never tapped into before, but you are very correct. Thanks for sharing that.
Was at the 02 that night & I was gutted as with Nick being there but did not play only David and Roger I found it strange & body language wasn't good! However, the arena was electric & doesn't come through like that on the filmed version of Cnumb, Still great to witness the 2 guys' original vocals etc Rock history like you say was the last time ⏲️ for sure. Respect and regards 🤝👍
@sean_1970 I always appreciate a first hand account. I was at one of the Los Angeles shows grasping at hope Dave would show up but obviously it made much more sense to be in London. I did capture the entire show with a dslr camera from 7th row center though!!!. Plus wanted to ask was his appearance there announced before hand? Like days before?
@davebowers8631 I had inside knowledge lol that David intended to watch the Monday night and then play the 2nd night which at the time of tickets was the final night but more dates added! Apparently it was agreed because Roger played with David the Palestine charity Gig, in return David would play a show at 02.I am lucky as my profile pic on this reply is when I met Roger outside Jeff Beck's Gig & he was amazed I came from Edinburgh to London to see Roger play What God Wants which was kept a secret & he spoke just me him minder for 5 mins & he was the complete opposite of what I expected as he was fun respectful & really happy! Gave me a contact for tickets 🎟 but I had already met Nick Mason a few times & he is one funny Guy like Roger Been lucky to have seen every Flyod Dave Roger solo from 87 lapse tour onwards. Hard to pick a favourite Gig but solo wise I really enjoyed David and Rick playing echoes as remember that night was filmed 🎥 Apologies about the Grammar Respect and regards 🍀⭐️👍
When I met Nick nearly 20yrs ago ✌️⭐️👍
I love all the albums from beginning.
The good time with Syd will never be forgotten.
I' m glad that you exist.
I remain loyal to you ever.
Thanks for the music❤
you sound like a cult mem ber
I feel Dark Side of The Moon was really a reflective process of a group of artists. And the way you guys interviewed people to get their ideas of life. That album really was magic and you guys did something totally revolutionary in that moment. I still like The Wall the most but dark side was truly groundbreaking
❤❤we love you Roger Waters forever 😊❤
I love how he still holds a grudge against David after all these years. The man will never grow up 🤣
@@yohosame Polly reminds me of Yoko Uno.
Yes, for a guy so consumed and passionate about very serious world affairs, he does seem to behave like a petty child regarding personal issues that- in the grand scheme of things--seem so utterly trivial and insignificant in comparison.
@@thegoldenpanther6986 That's your problem
@@hammill444 He only cares about the world issues that suit him
@Ozricaurora, Pretty sure Pollywog had a lot to do with that.
Arguably one of the greatest musicians/artist of our time and my personal favorite. His personality tho....
“Playing donkey kong” is funny as fuck bro.
I love these questions and answers….Those were the golden years for sure
My biggest satisfaction was to take my teenager son at one of your concerts to be immersed in your sublime art. I felt like the mission was accomplished.
Absolutely shredded bro before answering, love this man
You are my legendary hero, my indomitable Lion forever 👏❤️🌹
When they finished Dark Side of the Moon, they had to have known they'd created a masterpiece. How exciting they must have been waiting for the public to hear it.
They all have their moments.
Worth every penny spent in HMV or virgin records....lifetime of emotions
national legend
Good man Rog. No favorites in this mind here. They all hold their own special place in reverence & appreciation.
Love Roger ❤️
❤
I LOVE REDUX, I HAVE CD AND BLUE VINIL. , I HEAR EVERYDAY, IN MY HOUSE, AND MY OFFICE, THIS IS MY RELAX AND INSPIRATION.WONDERFUL ALBUM, REDUX.
Master Roger personally I prefer when you compose, play, sing and interpret (as only you can do) all the songs you wrote with and without the rest of the band. You are Roger ♥️ and you are and remain (for me) also a member and soul of Pink Floyd, as are Syd ♥️💔, Richard ♥️💔, Nick ♥️ and David ♥️.
Shine On 🎼💎🌈❤️🌟
For Ever and Ever......
From my point of view, being a purist fan of Pink floyd, asking me to choose a favorite album, its like asking which son i love the most. So, i love them all. Cheers, from Portugal
I take your point, but Atom Heart Mother, though it has some good moments, is hardly a Masterpiece... especially after Ron Geesin Orchestrated (ruined) the title track.
Methinks I like it better than Roger, though: "I wish the whole thing was put in the dustbin, and never listened to by anyone, ever again!"
Funny, seeing how it went to Number 1 in Britain in 1970...
I think it's too bad that David was such a sourpuss on the Final Cut. It's probably my favorite album. There's something about it that's just so... raw and visceral. Not to mention I was listening to it constantly while getting through a hard emotional time, so it's got a huge place in my heart for that.
Personally, I think it's great how it worked out with TFC. If Gilmour had been more involved* it probably wouldn't have been the raw and visceral masterpiece it is. Sometimes the best art comes out of difficult circumstances.
*By that I mean more involved in musical direction or production. Those of us who love TFC know that it contains some of Gilmour's best guitar work, so he did contribute...albeit through gritted teeth.
@@creepingbrain Yes, I agree 100%
Although I also like The Final Cut, I understand why David was dissatisfied with it. Half of the album are basically leftovers from The Wall - and knowing how high standards PF set with their material, the question why would they use leftovers is completely understandable. On top of that, it's known that Waters was practically impossible to work with, completely considering himself as the absolute leader of the band. Yes, David probably didn't contribute enough with the material, but with Wright gone from the band at that time, you can see the direction where the band was going. I like Final Cut, but it's true that it's not on the same level as the Wall, Animals, WYWH and TDSOTM.
@@Publius_Enigmabut with Wright we got Division Bell and AMLOR that are bad
@@Redguard677 AMLOR is bad, but Wrights contributions there are limited. Division Bell is much better album. With Wright we got Shine on, us and them, great gig...
We love uuuuu keep going♡♡
During the RADIO K.A.O.S. concert (which was staged as a radio station) us fans could “call in”and speak directly to Roger.
I was expecting him to say “wish you were here” , all other band’s members said so !
He should have said Radio KAOS and Amused To Death.😂😂
If only many artists take the time to write deep and thought-provoking songs as you do, Roger. Writing meaningful songs seems to be dying out.
Pretty much died out in the 1990's.
Roger waters, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Paul Simon, & Fish when he was with Marillion ( perhaps an unpopular but I firmly believe this, fantastic song writers and many. more from that era. But there are still some fantastic rock n roll song writers out there. Arcade Fire, Slowdive (ok, there are both bands from 90's still writing great music. Porcupine Tree. Steve Wilson is an amazing song writer. Jimmy gnecco of 'ours' is a fantastic vocalist and very good song writer.. Brandon Flowers of 'the killers' is an amazing song writer. As good as their first album is. For song writing, check out their last full album from 'Pressure machines' - in particular ' Pressure Machine' seriously have a listen to that song and those lyrics and tell me that isn't amazing song writing. music is personal, but I think you will agree if you give it a chance with an open mind.

@@wanderingwarrior5626 I hear you. It's tragic.
You're either a boomer or a kid that's claiming he is born in the wrong generation.
Ty for answering questions RW
My favourite always seems to be the one I'm listening to at the time. The darkness of The Final Cut makes it the one I probably listen to most.
Golden Period: Dark, Wish, Animals, Wall. What body of work!
I love everything you do Roger every piece is a masterpiece on it’s own Love G. ❤
RADIO KAOS (with 'HOME' being the exception) is absolutely dreadful.
Even Rog dislikes it...
@@JasonSmith-jr7jh Rado Kaos is one of my favorites. Btw, I love all Pink floyd albums up to Final Cut
@@Redguard677 That's what I LOVE about Music.
Differences in opinions.
Some people say that 'The Final Cut' is their favorite PF album. I think it should have been Rogers 1st solo album (I don't consider the soundtrack from The Body to be his first, since it was a collaboration with Ron Geesin).
Variety in opinions IS the spice of life!
The Final Cut is a masterpiece, one of my favourites. I grew up in that era, with Thatcher, Falkland War and politics in general. The message is still relevant as the shit show goes on and on.
Hello RW!
Hard for me to pick a favorite as well, I really enjoyed Meddle and Piper, but of course The Wall and Dark Side too.
I just realized my name is PF - cool 🤣 On a serious note, grew up loving Pink Floyd songs.
I love all Roger Waters PF records, the true Pink Floyd. In fact, Obscure by clouds is amazing!
And please, come to Venezuela
Obscure*
Thank you!!@@markbirchette8740
Ahem . Who do you think you are? Spell checking people? When YOU got it so wrong lol?! I think you will find it's "OBSCURED by clouds" You made me and my friends laugh though!@@markbirchette8740
Oh my god, The Final Cut is my favorite Pink Floyd’s album. It’s a really masterpiece, the people don’t talk about the really good that this album is.
"Two Suns In The Sunset" is a masterpiece!!!
It is a great album but it's essentially a Roger Waters album. Dave only sings on one track and the others are just hired hands.
It's a good album but pales in comparison to Animals.
Fr and I love how Dave’s only song is the one that is the most popular on what is mainly Roger’s album 😭
Roger thank you for sharing your genius with the world. I hope you realize how much you are loved.
If the peak golden years spanned from Dark Side through Wish You Were Here, Animals, and The Wall, I would say that a slightly longer arc is worth mentioning.
Meddle (1971), Obscured By Clouds (1972), and The Final Cut (1983) while not quite at the level of the big four were still solid offerings. I at one point had all the Pink Floyd albums but there was a noticeable uptick in overall Floyd album quality starting with Meddle -and a major drop off overall starting with Momentary Lapse. But I digress.
Meddle and obscured by clouds I like.
Meddle I like
I would add Atom Heart Mother, but theirs not enough Roger on that, conversely I would drop The Final Cut, Too much Roger on that one😂
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Listening in 2x speed, I I thought he called Dave "Donkey Kong" and thought "That's right! Give it to him!"
I think a source of tension was that David didn't have a lot of writing credits, not as many as Roger. So Roger could quit the band and still have a source of income to sustain him doing whatever he wanted to do. David needed a band, touring and albums much more than Roger did. JMHO. That said, I enjoy Rogers solo output much more that Dave-led Pink Floyd's albums.
I really liked Gilmour's first 2 solo albums. He must hate them, though, because he pretends they don't exist and never plays anything from them.
@@davel7791which is tragic because even though I prefer Roger’s musical direction, Dave’s stuff is still really beautiful. I feel there is always an obvious sincerity to Dave’s solo and post Final Cut stuff
David was already rich enough for a lifetime when they made Final Cut so hardly anything to do with money…
A lot went on COKE @@AnalogNoiseLab
Yet the GILMOUR led Pink Floyd had one of the largest grossing tours in music history, at that time, whilst Waters was playing "down the road" to a few howling dogs. Waters wrote songs and was a barely competent bass player but the person who sang them & played "the guitar for the gods" is Gilmour. Presley never wrote a song and who remembers who did write them? If it was a choice to see the Gilmour Floyd or Waters the fans have already spoken by a long way.
Every time I listen to "Comfortably Numb" from " Is there anybody out there" album and hear the cheers when Gilmour starts singing the chorus and playing the solos I know who they came to listen to.
As for post-Floyd Waters albums..ho-hum!!!!
I was surprised when I heard, the band didn't like Atom Heart Mother album, which is an excellent album imo. Other one is Animals.
I found the final cut a sublime album. one of my favourite.
🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹
My question would be as follows: I would personally rank Amused to Death as far and away your best solo work...to date😉. Did you have a touring stage concept in mind for the record and if so what would some of the bolder and inspiring ideas you might have implemented?
I agree amused to death is his best solo album even better than the final cut which is basically a Roger solo album and I've heard them all.
✨🔝✨
Still the best
Thank you for giving us the fans what we want: telling us about your process of playing Donkey Kong !!!!
Roger Waters благодарю за доверительный разговор о творчестве группы.
Roger, what's David's gamertag?
That David Gilmour was ever a gamer in some capacity brings warmth to my soul.
Can’t wait till the ninth
"I dont have a favorite Ethan (or whatever your name is), you bloody Muppet", lol, i love Roger's unapologetic arrogance
Roger really likes himself very much and others not so much.
❤
Looks like you enjoyed making Ça Ira, at least it looks like it in the docu.
To me The Final Cut sounded like scraps from the cutting room floor of the The Wall sessions. Didn't like it. However I did LOVE Roger's solo album Radio Chaos, which most people seem to dislike.
Roger,,,,,,what about Meddle the most under rated PF album with the best center photo
Possibly it's like asking which is the favourite of someone's children.
The child is grown, the dream is not gone..😉💋
Exactly my view on PF's Golden Years....Darks side thru Final Cut. Donkey Kong player got it so wrong!!!! Final Cut is superb
Many who call themselves Pink Floyd fans, are not as familiar with The Final Cut, which is too bad as it a great album. The songs are sad, funny, sarcastic, with unexpected changes to mood. Great album!
"'WHAT'S HIS NAME" is one of the greatest guitarists ever, without whom, the SOUND of Pink Floyd would never have reached the heights it did, along with the keyboards of Rick Wright. As Nick Mason has commented "Roger never really appreciated the musicians", much of which came from Gilmour/Wright until dictator Roger emerged.
As for 'The final cut" Gilmour was right.."rejects from The Wall" and without the keyboards Waters now regrets.
Gilmour was wrong. Every album builds upon the last to some extent. If it were left to Gilmour we'd never have had The Wall. If we were unlucky we'd of had the drivel that Floyd did post FC.
@@MaterLacrymarum Yep, "Animals" surely was a worthy "build" on DSOTM & WYWH..NOT!!!! Of course it was THE MUSIC of Gilmour/Wright on both ECHOES & SHINE ON that "we'd never have had" without them, as well. When it came to The Wall, an album I mostly like, the Waters dictatorship ,with his threats to take the project away unless Gilmour/Mason agreed to fire Wright only added fire to the flames of a crumbling band. However the crowning glory on that album is the GILMOUR music and some of the greatest guitar solos in music history on Comfortably Numb.
As for Final Cut and Waters solo work...they have disappeared into nowhere land.
The PINK FLOYD of 1971/72 to 1979 are the sum of all parts and none of them have come close to that era, post 1979.
Now Waters is just a Putin excuser and an embarrassment.
You can like what you want. Wright was a mess. To quote him: Both myself and Dave… had little to offer, through laziness or whatever,” Wright admitted in a 2000 interview with Classic Rock." He wasn't contributing., and the rest is history.
Animals is a better album than Wish You Were Here. But others don't agree, and that's fine. It doesn't prove anything, it just expresses a personal preference. Was it worthy - 100% yes.
The Wall is, justifiably, one of the greatest albums of all time. Again, you may not think so. Gilmour contributed, and he did a great job. The Floyd break up wasn't about anyone's ability. Besides, they'd been together since 1969 or so - what's surprising is that the kept together as long as they did.
As for Waters solo work, you are so deluded. They haven't disappeared. What are you talking about? You must mean that you don't like, own, or play them - who cares? You're not the arbiter of good or bad, you just like what you like, and dislike what you don't. Stop projecting it on to others. I play any of Waters solo albums over Wish You Were Here, but that's just me. Your opinion is just you. For me, The Final Cut may well the best Floyd album. You hate it - nothing wrong with that.
I'll tell you what I do dislike - Momentary Lapse of Reason, and Division Bell. Horrible dirge. Because when it comes down to it, Gilmour isn't a great song writer. He's a great guitarist, but not writer. His solo albums are horrible. On an Island is impossibly poor. Rattle That Lock is marginally better, but that's not saying much. You may love them, and that's fair enough.
And finally you come to the real reason Waters bugs you - the politics. Are you a yank? Grow up.
@@thefuturefactory56
@@MaterLacrymarum "Animals is a better album than Wish You Were Here"..Wish You Were Here has sold over 20 million copies globally...ANIMALS has sold 6,531,000 copies in 11 countries".
"As for Waters solo work, you are so deluded. They haven't disappeared. What are you talking about?....ROGER WATERS sold over 1,244,661 albums across 6 ALBUMS..That's "disappeared" in sales terms.
The Final Cut... it was the lowest-selling Pink Floyd studio album worldwide since their sixth album, Meddle (1971).
Very few go to one of his concerts hanging out to here his solo work, they mostly come back to life when the familiar sound of songs from DSOTM, WYWH and THE WALL start.
When it comes to "growing up" those that condone the invasion by the Russian Nazis and excuse it as being caused by provocation by NATO ( despite the invasion of Crimea in 2014) need plenty of it, even when they are old men. I'm not a "yank" just a supporter of democracy and not Nazis like Putin. The funny thing is that Rogers miserable lyrics about his dad dying at the hands of German Nazis is now, in current context, laughable.
You seem to have a real problem with people who don't share your opinion. Instead of being curious and asking why, you get defensive. Why is that?
I prefer Animals to Wish You Were Here. As such, do you really think I care how many copies Wish You Were Here sold? I mean, seriously? It's irrelevant. I never claimed the rest of the world agrees with me, I simply stated what I like.
Same applies to Final Cut and your view of Waters lyrics. Do you think it matters to me that it sold X number of copies? Or that you don't like Waters lyrics? You have some serious growing up to do.

Roger, did you ever write any songs/albums for Pink Floyd that never got released? If so, why were they never released? Thanks
Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking was the album Roger proposed to the band together with the Wall. The band voted for the Wall , so Pros and Cons was released later as Rogers solo album

wonder who was the person at the back playing donkey kong hahaha
Why the fun started with The Dark Side? What about earlier ones? Weren't they fun? Hard to believe if I think to Atom Earth Mother or Umma Gumma at least!
And “More” I never forgot ❤
My favorite pink floyd albums are meddle. Obscured by clouds. Dark side of the moon. Wish you were here. Animals. The wall.
Obscured By Clouds is probably Floyd's most underrated album.
They are the best ones.

Привет,Гений Ты лучший!❤
Roger. Mr. Waters. You're in my Top Five musical artists of rock/modern music (rock n' roll, et al.). I hope you take that as the compliment it is meant to be and please allow me to thank you for your lifetime of work, which I've been listening to since I was 13 years old, now 49. 'The Wall' and 'The Final Cut' were particularly healing for me in my teens, having lost my mother to cancer at 13. They remain among my favorite albums of all time, as do several others of yours, particularly those with your old bandmates. I do have one question, even though i realize it won't make the video. Um, WTF are you doing, Roger?! Seriously. Stop it. You still have time to stay among the most beloved musical artists of all time - or you can become another Mike Love, and I expect you know what I mean. Someone known more for their uncontrollable ego, vengefulness, and lack of grace than for the great artist you always unquestionably will be. But do you want to be remembered as a great but deeply problematic artist, or as just a great artist, or possibly even as a gracious great artist? Someone who with their fame, fortune, time and privilege spent their time doing good things, not petty things. Leave it alone, Roger. If you stop fucking with it, your legacy is secure. With all love and measureless gratitude, thanks again.
As for Ukraine, maybe you could debate Sean Penn on the subject. That I would watch. Cheers.
❤🌷🔥
I think The Final Cut is my favorite followed by Animals
Was Pros and Cons linked in anyway to The Final Cut? ❤
The Final Cut was more like a Roger Waters solo album than a Pink Floyd album. Understandable why there was friction with the band at this point.
Apparently if your collaborator likes Donkey Kong enough...
Donkey Kong was out in 82’??
Gilmour busy playing Donkey Kong game and watch. Whoa!
@@lonewolf8667 I don't know about the table console. Since it was 1982, I assumed it was a Game & Watch. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_%26_Watch

Who is Roger referring too at 0:37?
Thanks
Sounded a tad angry at the end there, Roger my old friend
I agree. Was kind of a dick there.
There's an old saying: Dark Side of the Moon is the best record ever recorded and it isn't even the best Pink Floyd record.
I have the luxury, from my neutral position as a fan since "Arnold Layne" to enjoy both the band's albums and the solo works . The only slight issue I would have with what Roger says is that for me ,the golden years are from "Meddle" to "The Wall" .
Agreed. Meddle and Obscured by Clouds kick The Final Cut's ass.
Meddle to Animals actually
Meddle to Final Cut (excluding Obscured by Clouds)
Which song from Amused to Death is your favorite?
SHOWS : 1. IN THE FLESH - PACAEMBU STADIUM 2. THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON - MORUMBI STADIUM - 3. THE WALL - MORUMBI STADIUM - 4. US AND THEN- ALLIANZ PARK STADIUM - 5.THIS IS NOT A DRILL TOURS- SAO PAULO - BRAZIL, I WAS THERE.

Enjoyed making the wall, then enjoyed threatening the band not to release it unless they fired Richard Wright as well. Rog has the benevolent old man act down to a tee, but there is not a musician who has ever worked with him has a good word to say.
I’d like to ask the Pounds what’s wrong with Ezra 😊 ?
When are we going to get a movie that falls into making the Darkside of the moon visible.
The Final Cut has its moments, but I don't find myself ever wanting to go back and listen to it. It's sad to think of what could have been had egos remained in check and Floyd continued on in its best incarnation. Waters and Gilmore each contributed something unique. That said, I've always felt that Roger cost himself more creatively than he cost the other band members. For all his intelligence and lyrical abilities, he couldn't write the actual music. I've never heard a Roger Waters song on any of his solo albums that I've wanted to hear twice.
