Waters has been in North America for his This is Not a Drill tour. His recent shows were in Toronto, Montreal and Quebec City. He asked a reporter if there were “any theories as to” why his two concerts in Toronto were not being reviewed in an interview with The Globe and Mail. The reporter was assigned to cover the Weeknd’s show at the Rogers Centre, although it was later cancelled, to which Waters continued that it “seemed odd.”
“And by the way, with all due respect to the Weeknd or Drake or any of them, I am far, far, far more important than any of them will ever be, however many billions of streams they’ve got,” said the British musician.
“Imagine being in Pink Floyd and being THIS insecure at THIS point of your career? The white male rockstar ego continues to be an embarrassment,” they wrote. “David Crosby, Roger Daltrey and Roger Waters all have the same problem. Despite their success, they can’t function without acclaim and would rather die than see newcomers get it. Cold-blooded mammals can’t keep themselves warm.”

I`m not a fan of musicians making their personal political views public. But I do agree with this part of his statement. "Waters said he believes the war is about the "action and reaction of NATO pushing right up to the Russian border" — tilting blame away from Vladimir Putin.
"Try and figure out what the United States would do if the Chinese were putting nuclear-armed missiles into Mexico and Canada," Waters said." |

Roger Waters' latest claim is he was put on 'kill list' by UkraineHe said: “I’m on a kill list that is supported by the Ukrainian government. I’m on the f****** list, and they’ve killed people recently… But when they kill you, they write ‘liquidated’ across your picture. Well, I’m one of those f****** pictures.”
Waters even suggested that people within Ukraine are trying to discredit him online.
He said: “When I read stuff, which I have done in blogs and things, criticizing me for my… I always go and look and see where it came from. And it’s amazing how often when I’ve done the hunt and hunted it down, it is da, da, da.ukraine.org.”

I don’t give a shit what Waters has to say about anything or any other famous musician for that matter. Just shut up and play your guitar dude.

Just because someone is a musician, actor, and whatever. Doesn't mean they can't and shouldn't keep their views to themselves. We all do it on forums, but we just don't have huge audience that will listen  . They have to deal with the consequences when get on their political soap box and spew. |

Some people just don't know what 'The Wall' is about. Pink Floyd star Roger Waters condemned over 'Nazi costume' at Berlin concertPolice in Germany have launched an investigation into Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters after he fired an imitation machine gun while wearing a Nazi-inspired uniform at a concert in Berlin.
The British bassist and singer was filmed wearing a long black coat and red armband - featuring crossed hammers instead of swastikas - as he pretended to shoot the fake weapon during a skit between songs.
Berlin Police Chief Inspector Martin Halweg confirmed to Sky News that officers had "initiated criminal investigation proceedings in the case regarding suspicion of incitement of the people".
He added: "The context of the stage clothes worn is likely to condone, glorify or justify the Nazi dictatorship and arbitrary rule in a way that violates the dignity of the victims and thereby disturbs public peace.
Prosecutors will consider any possible charges once police have concluded their investigations.
But fans of the singer said his performance was a recreation of a scene in Pink Floyd's 1982 film The Wall, based on the hit album of the same name.
Earlier this month, before the concert, he told the Katie Halper Show podcast: "It's theatre darling. The idea that no one can dress up in a f****** Nazi uniform ever, to do anything, in a theatre or a film, is ludicrous, obviously... it's a parody."
He added: "I think antisemitism is odious and racist and I condemn it unreservedly."twitter |

No, he`s always been a problem, I just feel it matters more now as everything is all fucked up everywhere.
The only real problem we had for about 50 years was the U.S.S.R. sending ICBM`s at us.
Now...well ...you know.

The threat was a problem.
