I was just wondering what people here think of the guy...He's one of my favourite bassists not really because of his playing but mainly because of his song writing  |

And he *did* write one of the best bass riffs ever..... Money. |

His stuff is easy to play, but sometimes easy to play wasn't easy to write.
My personal fave. Floyd line is on "Have a Cigar" |

A complete Jackass of a person who openly shows contempt for his audience. |

He is a good bassist and do the job very well, but like many more people, I like him most for the lyrics than for what he is as a bassist.

It's sad he and Gilmour can't get things sorted out and work together.

Roger played bass live up until the Animals era, but you'll notice the band is never listed on the 70s-era Floyd albums. For example, it doesn't say "Roger Waters- bass" |

Post WYWH it's not written who played what, but that was released in '75........ | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
