Roger Waters Live Last Night in Glendale,AZ


My first concert in a while. Last was Sia. 

Roger has a message for his audience

that comes with the music. Somewhat off-putting

I must say. I went for music not politics. Not saying

I totally disagree with his. F-bombs galore. All our presidents

past and current are mass murderers. Could be a bit strong.

He is 79 and British.  Has some fun stories. I can live without

the other messages though. Is this messaging common nowadays?

+1 for stereo5.  Although I detest the Waters personally, I still enjoy "Amused to Death" during those peaceful nights with my favorite stimulant.  So he made a little money from my purchase of the CD but I wouldn't waste a penny to go to one of his concerts. And if he hates America so much, what was he doing in Glendale AZ?

"In fact Hendrix dying before he was fully engrossed in the political direction he was following ends up being a good thing for my love of his music. Politics are all about material matters, music and art in general are just the opposite."

So Jimi's dying is a "good thing" for you?

So you want your musicians to be merely vapid, apolitical automatons. Heaven forbid they have actual beliefs and a political view.

Maybe you should look in the mirror, bud.

Nor was it the same when certain multinational companies seemed to be condoning the illegal actions of the likes of BLM not so long ago.

What a load of alt right BS. 

@nonoise 

I understand your viewpoint, but it isn't BS that a couple of those in charge at BLM have defrauded their well-intentioned supporters out of millions of dollars funneled through shell companies.

I won’t see Roger again after his last show was overshadowed with his political views. Took away from the music in a significant way. Poor showmanship IMO but it is his right to be a buffoon and others can decide whether to support him by buying his music and attending his shows. My view is that his ego is to blame for breaking up Floyd and that it’s somewhat sad that he hasn’t found a degree of contentment at his age. David Gilmour is a better artist anyway.
