Unfortunately, Roger has passed the tipping point where his absolute assholery outweighs his musical talent.

If he was remotely capable of keeping his mouth shut, people may have been more capable of tolerating him.

I’m kinda surprised Rog admitted that he didn’t play on those pieces, the way he takes credit for being the sole genius of PF.

Explain. But speak slowly so I understand

Measured take, kid. Heil of an argument.

The fact that you’d use such a term suggests you can take your opinion and shove it - ideally in Waters mouth, two birds one stone and all.

Seriously, have some decency (then again, a Waters supporter should be assumed to likely not)

“For those wanting a list of song David plays bass on here is something I've posted before:

David Gilmour says a lot about Roger Bass Playing but a lot it is not true. Some guys put a list of all the songs DG plays bass on and it not that many, no where near half and not much in the early days as he says in this interview.

The Narrow Way pts. 1-3

Fat Old Sun

One Of These Days

Shine On You Crazy Diamond (pt. VI)

Pigs (Three Different Ones)

Sheep

Comfortably Numb

Don't Leave Me Now

Goodbye Blue Sky

Hey You

Mother

Nobody Home

The Show Must Go On

The Trial

Waiting For The Worms

Young Lust

Money (A Collection of Great Dance Songs)

High Hopes

Wearing The Inside Out”

But who came up with the genius baseline in Money?

Waters is a Putin Nazi lover , pure bag of rubbish.

Not sure why you are being downvoted- you’re spot on.

He’s shown himself to be a hateful, virulent ahole

AKA POS.

Gilmy is a Zionist so where do we go from here?

Odd...folks are happy to call Waters a Nazi, but Gilmour a Zionist? Report that comment!

(IMO, Waters always sides with the agressors via pretending they're the victims - he's done this since the Falklands war in '82....not sure one can put Dave in the same ballpark)

Most of the Ramones were right wingers, Bob Weir hangs out at Bohemian Grove, none of them ended up standing with what they represented

I mean yes correct

I bet Bob got confused and thought Bohemian Grove was a psychedelic storefront.

The Bohemian Club is not concerned with left/right politics. Plenty of members on both sides. I don’t think Johnny Ramone ever “represented” anything other than what he was, center right. Maybe you just are holding them up as “representing” what you believe in rather than actually what they are actually saying.

I’m sure D Gilmore thinks R Waters is a great bass player, but he probably thinks Roger is an asshole, personality wise
