Richey Edwards Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 My reaction is "why?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btb Posted October 2, 2023 Author Share Posted October 2, 2023 20 hours ago, Richey Edwards said: My reaction is "why?" Part of he and David Gilmour's ongoing feud. Quote Waters revealed that he was working on a rerecording of The Dark Side of the Moon early in 2023.[5] He insisted that while the other members of Pink Floyd had contributed to the original album, "It's my project and I wrote it ... Let's get rid of all this 'we' crap!"[ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may well have wrote it so if he wants to "revisit" it then fair enough, but Gilmour, Mason and Wright made DSoTM the brilliant album that it is. It wasn't just Waters. The new recordings just sound like a really bad cover band. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 I once shared a hotel in India with Roger Waters. Not in the biblical sense though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musketeer Gripweed Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Tragic. Self indulgent bullshit. Wish he would just f**k off and stop ruining his own and the band's reputation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyDickFingers Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Just listed to 'Time' redux and to be honest quite enjoyed it. I wasn't sure what to expect but I'm glad its nothing like the original which is perfect and timeless. It's different and that's fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevieKTID Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 (edited) Oh Roger, it's almost as if he's a jaded rock star whose eventual self-imposed isolation from society forms a figurative wall. Or something like that Edited October 2, 2023 by stevieKTID 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btb Posted October 4, 2023 Author Share Posted October 4, 2023 Listened to a few more of the pre-released tracks today, it's kinda like Rog is going for a Tom Waits vibe. I kinda like the new version of Time but then again I like the Wyclef Jean version of WYWH. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replacing Speak To Me with a spoken rendition of Free Four from the Obscured By Clouds elpee - interesting! Abandoning the female vocals on The Great Gig In The Sky (Clare Torry) was brave/perverse. Quite liked the Redux version but I imagine Rog will be sticking pins into his Dave Gilmour voodoo doll tonight. Looking forward to WYWH:Redux in 2025 already...

TommyDickFingers Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Had a couple of listens now and I like it. Would have been easy for him to get a guitarist etc to faithfully reproduce DSOTM but what would be the point? Doesn't need the money or the adulation. Waters is on record stating how much he loves the guitar parts on all work he done with Gilmour so I can't see the lack of any signature guitar parts of the original being just a f**k you to him, more a conscious decision that as soon as he does its just becomes a "cover" of his own album. He has been touring regularly with superb musicians one of which Dave Kilminster pretty much faithfully reproduces Gilmour in the hits if that's what you are after. Enjoy it for what it is or don’t. I doubt he really gives a f**k either way at this point in his life. Thumbs up from me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 I like it, it's completely different from DSOTM but it's what was expected from Waters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moomintroll Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Nope, will not be giving this Putin adoring, anti semetic arsehole a penny more even though Pink Floyd are my favourite band of all time. He needs to take a look at the politics of the scum who killed his dad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to take a look at the politics of the scum who killed his dad. He wasn't even the best singer in Pink Floyd. Gilmour and Wright had better voices IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
