Roger Waters is such an articulate and insightful man. I can listen to him speak all day long. Well-done interview. The interviewer happens to sound just like David Gilmour.

[@nikthefix8918]

Waters is an extraordinary human being, and so resilient. May he live long and prosper.

[@XodyCalizander]

Absolutely

[@dusanpogacar1399]

Roger is so smart, relex and nice human, I would listen to him for days. Hello from Slovenia 😊

[@XodyCalizander]

To this day, every time Roger talks about Syd, e's still looks off into that abyss that Syd saw so clearly. So sad.

[@billregan3232]

"Hanging on in quiet desperation" - The lyrics from Time are amazing. And written by guys in their 20's, As if they were already old!

[@billregan3232]

@@Chuck_W59 Not sure why I wrote that. I've heard the song a few hundred times over the years. My mistake...

[@cardo1111]

Well said. I was always amazed at how much introspection/foresight the great artists had at such a young age.

[@Pez779]

Exactly . U look at a lot of artists ages back then they were all men at 20 . Now artists are 30 and are boys . Back then u didn’t really have to ask for age . Everyone was mature by 17

[@djstarsign]

To be fair (and not drawing away from their talent, because they obviously are), they were referencing Henry David Thoreau, who wrote “the mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation”.

[@DavidAdarmases12]

@@djstarsign "All art is theft," as Pablo Picasso would say. Roger did it at the end of Dogs as well; the whole "He was brought in a house full of pain, He was trained not to spit in the fan, he was...." etc. was taken from the poem Howl by Allen Ginsberg.

[@alex2980]

I love these intimate interviews about Syd.

[@Christina-yd9fe]

I accidentally stumbled upon these interviews and I am mighty grateful. Thank you so much.

[@JOHNEDGINTONDOCUMENTARIES]

My pleasure!

[@xwsftassell]

These interviews are great.

[@JOHNEDGINTONDOCUMENTARIES]

Thanks!

5:33 this is exactly the thing I remembered when I had a panic attack in February. Other than being just a crying rambling mess I remember watching this interview and seeing him talk about this moment. Looking back now it would have been nice to have a piano around myself. I’m doing a lot better now.

[@theloniouscastaneda]

The genius, the madness of Roger. Art at its best!✨

[@robertmartin8565]

Very emotional moment from Waters at the 2:30 mark, he gets a bit choked up on the word "for' when talking about the love he has for Syd. I got a bit choked up myself.

[@XodyCalizander]

As a lifelong musician myself, for whatever reason, I've always been the type to be enamored by the music and be emotionally affected by the music more than the words or subject matter. The words would be the very last thing I would pay attention to. With that said, despite the brilliant, uniquely powerful dynamics and musicality of Dark side, The wall, etc. There's no question that Roger's words and subject matter strike that emotional human chord and shine through even the most brilliant and powerful of musical compositions. So when it all is put together. And both music, literally and subject matter and words are all brilliant, It obviously makes for an absolute mind-boggling experience. It's the reason I've paid thousands of dollars to see Roger Waters. The wall live multiple times. Lol. I was left in absolute awe and tears every time, even though I knew everything was coming.

[@myjulie60]

Roger is so attractive here ❤

[@suzetteanne]

I know, right?!❤

[@reginageorge8080]

Like Richard Gere

[@joethornell1126]

Roger, that wasn't a breakdown, it was a full blown panic attack. If you sit and dwell on it, it will last a hell of a lot longer. The fact that you sat down and played the piano, got you back to reality. That's what was hard for me to do when I had panic attacks 35 or 40 years ago...

[@rickfrancis5480]

Sounds like David interviewing him

[@glasshalffull8471]

Life is good and certainly much better than the alternative.

[@85geoffm]

It might just be because I'm not English, but the interviewer, John Edington, sounds absurdly like David Gilmour (accent, inflection, etc).

[@JOHNEDGINTONDOCUMENTARIES]

Hah! Two soft spoken English gentlemen 😊

[@mojopin70]

He's describing a panic attack.....

[@arcticsmoke302]

Pretty sure this is David giving the interview but I can’t be very sure because he references Syd in the questions as if he knew him. Either way sounds very much like David although I doubt that is the case for Roger to participate in that situation.

[@jaycareaga9929]

It the channel owner John Edginton.

[@jamesheath7601]

David interviewing Roger 😂

[@DavidAdarmases12]

The way you know it isn't David is because the interviewer is still alive by the end.

[@wotdoesthisbuttondo]

Waters slagged off Syds idea of Bringing a female sax player into the band to his face then after chucking him out Waters called in a female and a sax player whilst also blatantly stealing Syd clockwork room from end of Bike for intro to Time on what became their biggest selling album.

[@Christian-97]

....Soooo?

[@wotdoesthisbuttondo]

@@Christian-97 So he's a two faced thieving backstabber.

[@shawnm4189]

So? There is a huge difference between random incoherent piling of ideas (read: Syd in 1968) and using those sorts of bits in the midst of meticulously having a plan (read: Roger in 1972)..

[@wotdoesthisbuttondo]

@@shawnm4189 It sounded like a band meeting for suggestions and as it turned out Syds were totally legit, a female to sing and play sax, those two elements gave Darkside it's edge as well as the clockwork room for Time, it's basically Syds album so it's pretty rotten of Waters not to give the guy some joint posthumous credit.

[@jimcowan6472]

@Luke Austin his point being that Waters is a fucking plagiarist narcissistic twat….if you need it spelling out…he fucking hung Roger (Syd) out to dry and dined out on his memory for ever more. Mediocre bass player…exceptional bell end…

[@richf8972]

Mabey Roger had a LSD flashback, and he played the piano during it. Or maybe just plain old anxiety.

[@gaebren9021]

Thank-you so much for this. You put a lot of work into this. Pink Floyd are really inspirational. Roger is very down to earth. Something that I have often wondered, and I don't know if I am out of line saying this but, is there a possibility that Syd was raped? That this is the reason that he went over the edge so to speak. That there was some sexual violation or power play by someone in the music industry at that time. I don't mean other band members but someone involved in the music business. Maybe that is why Syd did what he did. He hated the fame and what it brought. I know this is speculation. I am sorry, I don't want to cause offense to anyone.

[@JOHNEDGINTONDOCUMENTARIES]

Thanks.I appreciate your comment on my work on this. I have never heard the suggestion of Syd being sexually abused. I think his mental deterioration was probably caused by a complexity of factors rather than abuse.

[@Christian-97]

This is an...interesting take on things, but as the director commented I think his mental health declining was a result of substance abuse, rise to fame, and David coming in to replace him.

[@Ilovemusic793]

Have you ever done that much LSD?

[@TheFergyme]

@@Christian-97 So, now you're blaming Gilmour for his mental health decline. Amazing, but I expect that from someone who buys Roger's claims.

[@Christian-97]

@@TheFergyme That wasn't what I was trying to say at all, jackass. Syd was angry at him, as David had gotten glares from him when he showed up for practice, but that’s obviously not the sole reason of his mental health declining. If you could read, you would’ve understood that.
