Roger Waters Is a decent bass player, an OK singer, and a good songwriter, but I think he's eclipsed by Gilmore in all three of those areas (so what if Waters pretty much wrote The Wall. Its a psychotherapy session put to music, and one of the most overrated pieces of music in rock n' roll history). I'm sure Barrett was very talented, but its hard to know whether you're crediting his genius or his neurosis when talking about him, and although his influence got the ball rolling, the band quickly evolved into an entirely different musical entity. I think Gilmour gets it for me.
I'd go along with that totally.
That is a person who I think knows their stuff.
I also think that is why the court gave it to him and the other two backed him.
I love the remark about about waters!
I read he wanted to carry on on that theme but the others wanted more diversity and thought the wall was just too damn paranoid in it's depth.
Cheers SATCHMO!
good man.
