Roger Waters is legit!

Love Roger Waters, and PF!
Even got a DSotM tattoo on my wrist - His bass playing and songwriting is phenomenal!

Saw Roger on the Wall and the DSotM tour a handfull of times, blown away every single one of the shows. Also saw Gilmour in Gdansk, that show was insane.

But THE best concert I've ever been at, was the Pink Floyd Live 8 in London, 20 minutes gig, but damn sure the best one I've ever been to. First time on the same stage in what was it.. 25-27 years?

I know because I have heard Roger Waters play bass on plenty of **** and I know well enough :confused: to tell when he is not playing. You can be a good bassist and not play flashy. You can be a great bassist and not put 100% into a song. Waters is no Chris Squire, and that's not what the Floyd needed. :o Nobody is saying Waters is bad, nobody is saying he didn't play on anything. Stop being a sniveling little **** :ninja: and get your head out of your ass!

:D

I can't help but like this kid. He turned the "hole" what makes the grass green thing around, and suggested that the stench was from my own rectum! Because of the "****," was able to follow your logic, but…
Well played.
Are you a guitarist?

fnord!

Love Roger Waters! His bass parts are great and I think you have to put him up there as one of the best writers - Amazing lyrics. I had the pleasure to see him during the In The Flesh tour at Shoreline :bassist:

His playing and overall tone are so great in "Live At Pompeii." He turned into such a bitter old guy, making it really easy to forget how great he was.

He's developed quite the sense of humor about that. I'll never forget how great he was/is. He's one artist that truly gave something of himself to his fans. He's been one damaged dude, and I think he's pretty much recovered.

I love the guy.

I have seen people comment about Roger waters bass tone. From recording The Wall ('78) forward he has used a Schecter Monstertone P pickup with 1/4 inch polepieces and height adjustment screws below pickguard level (if you look very closely). The neck is indeed a Charvel p neck in birdseye maple with a Fender spaghetti p bass logo. Look closely at live photos of his black bass on The Wall tour on various websites. It had been altered from its previous somewhat "stock" Fender p config. I guess spb-3's were a modern, cost effective solution to get close to the sound, tone of the higher output pickup he acquired in the late 70's...
