Roger Waters Comfortably Numb 2022
Roger Waters Comfortably Numb 2022
So RW has reworked this classic for his new tour and blimey it's a pretty dark version. Available to hear on the usual music platforms or by the link below. Apparently he is opening the shows with this.

One of my favourite pieces of music is comfortably numb, but couldn't listen to that. He can't sing.

The Pulse version from the Division Bell tour will never be bettered, even though no Roger.

Re: Roger Waters Comfortably Numb 2022
Oh dear, well i do know what the lyrics are about detachment from reality which if memory serves was an experience roger had on some tour in the states in a city which i cant remember when a doctor prescribed him some drugs that made him feel numb and detached from reality, when he did the show, But if your suggesting that you support rogers current views ,there is obviously a very great hole in your ability to process stuff that no logic, facts or persuasion will dissuade you from.
Great song though by the way , though id go as far to say the scissor sisters version is better than his,

Re: Roger Waters Comfortably Numb 2022
I agree re RW is latterly beginning to get into conspiracy theory madcap views, expect he'll start talking about lizards soon. The (not infrequently raised) question is can you separate the personality from the art?
It is a dilemma. You get to really like an artist (musical or otherwise) then find out things about their lives that make you pretty much dislike the person; does it stop you liking their art?
For me- it does put me off the person's art a bit but not completely, I've still got to begrudgingly accept the pleasure of the art.

that said, have a cigar is phenomenal
Re: Roger Waters Comfortably Numb 2022
It’s funny how the amazing Dave smith and joe rogan, both being extremely knowledgable on the subject both praise and say how roger waters knowledge is superb, to their millions of viewers on the link below. Yet here we have “goalposts” writing him off as nutty. It’s just a huge “wow” from me.

Re: Roger Waters Comfortably Numb 2022
Sounds like he has de-Gilmoured the original which is how he wanted it back then before being overruled by the rest of the band, especially David Gilmour. OKish version but rather dreary

Re: Roger Waters Comfortably Numb 2022
Definitely more important than Drake or The Weekend.
Re: Roger Waters Comfortably Numb 2022
A big fan of Floyd and Waters but his letter to Zelenskys wife put me right off him. Think he has been consumed by his anti American hatred.

Both excellent musicians and performers in their own right - not sure why everything has to be a contest.Middle-agedClaret wrote: ↑Sat Nov 19, 2022 6:46 amDefinitely more important than Drake or The Weekend.
The fact Floyd allowed Scissor Sisters to cover Comfortably Numb suggests they’re not against more contemporary artists themselves.

Re: Roger Waters Comfortably Numb 2022
Well sort of depends on what you mean by nutty , joe rogan and Dave smith being used as vindicators would in a lot of peoples minds undermine any subsequent arguments. Particularly as you describe them as amazing . But each to is own as long as they say. If you had troubled yourself to fully understand what id posted you would see that i agree Comfortably Numb is a great song , just not this version.SimonSays wrote: ↑Sat Nov 19, 2022 12:32 amIt’s funny how the amazing Dave smith and joe rogan, both being extremely knowledgable on the subject both praise and say how roger waters knowledge is superb, to their millions of viewers on the link below.

It takes some doing to get a MAGA friendly Joe Rogan clip on a thread about Pink Floyd, but never underestimate the incel community.

Re: Roger Waters Comfortably Numb 2022
Sounds like a really dull and soulless version, maybe that's the intention.

I know - it’s truly the lowest form of wit.

Re: Roger Waters Comfortably Numb 2022
I have tickets for this show
Last time I saw him England were playing Colombia in the World Cup when we went through on penalties the whole MEN arena erupted
Waters thought we were cheering him the knob
Love his music but detest his political views
