Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters Ruins the Song ‘Money’!

I find Water’s "Money" interesting. Sound quality is good as far as I can tell.

Waters said a while back that the purpose of the remake would be to put the focus on the lyrics because he hadn’t noticed any change in behavior in people who have been listening to them. He can probably include himself in that group.

It would be ridiculous for Waters to try and make a Dark Side that out-Floyded Pink Floyd and stayed on the charts even longer. He would have to be brain damaged to try.

I hope the album"s other songs are as different and interesting as "Money." I expect to listen to them maybe a few times and see what Roger’s done with them. I don’t think it’s an album that is meant for frequent listening or parties.

He did an interview for Variety in which he talks about it:

Roger Waters Reveals ’Dark Side of the Moon’ Remake, Releases ’Money’ - Variety

I especially liked this line from the interview:

“I love the original recording, by the way, and I love what Nicky (Mason) did and what Rick (Wright) did and what Dave did on the original recording,”

I always like to see people try to end a spat. This alone won’t do it but it may be a start.

His net worth is 320 million says Google. If there’s a following for his societal musings, I’m coming out with a fried chicken weight loss podcast.

This whole thread has gone all over the place!

Of course the whole point of being in a band is that you play your parts and instruments. If you are like Mike Oldfield you play everything yourself on Tubular Bells, in the case of Pink Floyd every band member played almost on every song, including "Money". So it's irrelevant to mention who played what on that song. The song is credited to Waters. 

More importantly the discussion started because of his re-recording of that track.

As I mentioned before I myself Do Not like the new version. But this has nothing to do with his character or if he is a nice person or not or his treatment of other band members or indeed his political and social views. You can agree or disagree with him but he has had all of those attributes way before re-recording Money! 

Would you like the new "Money" if he was a nice person and perfect band member?

Would you forget about all his characteristics and views if the new "Money" was even better than the original version?

Those of you who have seen Bob Dylan live know that he butchers almost all of his songs .....should we start a thread on what kind of person he is because of that?

.......I agree .....we must separate the Art from the Artist!

Good night everyone (and I thought this was Hi Fi and sound quality forum hahahaha)

Leave Woody Allen alone.
