Geez people! don't you get it? Waters and Gilmour are like chocolate and peanut butter. By themselves either is great but when you combine the two it is fucking awesome and beyond! The whole is greater than the sum of its' parts.

Charming manners but you still haven't explained why I should "shut the fuck up about Bono"?

Gilmour played much of the bass on the early albums.

Well Then Allow Me... IT'S OFF TOPIC.
A) Roger is on topic because HIS ENDORSEMENT OF OWS ... _IS_ the topic.
B)Bono has absolutely NOTHING TO DO WITH OWS... In fact, I have heard BONO JOKES referencing the likelihood that he will eventually come throw his shadow on one of the parks.

Hopefully he'll stay you're problem and it'll be in Galway.
I've had the TOS thrown in my face for less bizarre misuse of a thread. So consider the TOS in play here. And I apologize for yelling at you, but it was like you were being obtuse with the Bono nonsense.

I am 50% irish having had two grand parents who immigrated. And one thing I have seen FAR TOO MUCH of is the old country dumping it's opportunistic mother fuckers here amidst the hard working in many ways amazing citizenry they've contributed. Bono is a shining example of the kind of opportunistic SHIT I am talking about.

think the other two guys (especially Wright) were a vital part of the band too. If creativity matters more than technique then their greatest guitarist by a long shot has to be El-Syd

BTW chocolate and peanut butter?

True. I bet it sucks trying to pick up girls and having to say, "I was in Pink Floyd... I was... uh... one of the other guys."

Oh sure ... make it a matter of "you got gilmore in my waters"... to be expected of a yugo enthusiast

Thanks to Waters

quote:

You would be correct to say that its off-topic to bring up Bono but look at it this way: Waters isn't just advocating OWS, he is advocating a particular type of moralistic stance. 

quote:


Thanks to Waters not being there to write all the good material?

Momentary Lapse had 2 listenable tracks. Division Bell had two good ones.

quote:

I doubt Roger is scaring the hell out of anyone. I just think it's amusing to watch the rich celebs pointing their fingers at those awful rich people.

Roger actually left Pink Floyd damn near 30 years ago, Skip, and his uber-liberal views have been on public display for decades. Of course, unlike many douchebags who put politics above all else, my taste in music has nothing whatsoever to do with the politics of the artist. Thank God for that, too, because I fucking hate that whiny, twangy, country shit.

So, are you spending a lot of time around dumbasses who just nod in agreement with whatever their favorite band tells them to think?

Mmmmmmm he notified the OWS Media Team at Liberty Plaza before he did it and apparently asked if they could use a very formalized endorsement and they told him no. And that essentially, they invite people to come and be a part of the Movement for as long as they can, but that they don't want standard bearers or anyone else they are beholding to.
   Perhaps that clears it up a bit more. It wasn't a generalized statement anymore than is the movement. It was Published as "Roger Waters - Occupy" ... I don't see how much clearer it can be made.
   Except maybe you could just say "I hate Roger Waters".  Ihad no problem making my disdain for Bono clear as a bell. I'll be clearer. I  won't like Bono even if he pays his fucking taxes and stays in Ireland.
