David Gilmour & How he TROLLED Roger Waters in 1984

I've always loved that album.

I used to be so peed off at Roger for causing the split of Pink Floyd. But as I grow older it's David I despise. All the rhetoric about how PF like when he answers "who?" in interviews, then he goes on to play half of his live sets with PF tunes. Including those written with Roger. And he knows that if he didn't play those songs, 80% of the people wouldn't turn up. His solo work is about as good as Rogers (ie. not very) with the exception of a song or two (like Between Two Points or Theres no way out of here). He's riding the back of Pink Floyd and still continues to try act morally superior. And don't get me started on Endless River cashing in on the name….

"Trolled"

What nonsense…..honestly, Waters is a genius songwriter/ lyricist, Gilmour WAS agreat singer guitarist but was never a songwriter ask Jon Carin he knows………..Blue Light anyone

David Gilmour openly admits he can't write lyrics. I believe he wrote nearly none of the lyrics on this album, and everything you are reading a stab at Roger Waters into is purely coincidence.
Gilmour's first two albums are much better than his most recent two albums, and it's a shame he doesn't realize that and play what we want to hear live. his recent setlist is polluted with a shit ton of Pink Floyd, which is bullshit, because I want to hear David Gilmour songs, not a band he was once in

I enjoyed About Face, but I only have it on vinyl. While I enjoyed it very much, I have listened to it for years. I need to hear it again.

The whole concept of 'Trolling' is childish. Childish antagonists mated with childish protags. For the sake of humanity, please evolve. Without Waters, there is no recognizable Gilmour.

I came upon Pink Floyd with See Emily Play ❤. I could be the only preson on Earth who thinks the epic sounds if the Wall and Dark Side would have been better served without the narcissistic droolings of Roger. Perhaps a more nuanced poet such as myself 🎉.

People read whatever they want in a lyric. For the song You Know I’m Right; I simply think of my own family when we argue about politics and religion. I never thought about any of the things that this man is talking about regarding any of these songs. I’ve certainly enjoyed listening to Gilmour solo recordings much more than a Waters solo recording. To each their own. Perhaps I’m too shallow to be able to dig so deep into a lyric.

oooooh, he sure got that roger guy! too bad about roger being wayyy more creative and talented, though

Great album ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Might help someone form an opinion if you could manage to play more than 25 secs of the work

My first cd was DG ‘78 solo album. Prior to that was Ozzy Osborne. Guitar was a prime driver.

"Murder" is a great track.

I saw Roger Waters on that solo tour. (The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking) A very memorable and enjoyable show in fact. It contained a small tribute to Syd Barrett and had an intimate intermission in the middle where the audience was allowed to walk up to a podium with a microphone and ask him questions. Up on the list of better shows that I've seen in my life, actually.
