ROGER WATERS - Sexual Revolution (HQ Audio)

[@BazookaChipmunk]

no other way to put it, Roger is a genius. No if and or buts about it. He's written music for every genre from rock to opera, he's even directed films. He is the very essence of bad-assery. If that isn't a word, it should be.

[@kenny9048]

HAPPY 25TH ANNIVERSARY ON THE PROS AND CONS OF HITCHHIKING ALBUM ROGER!!!!! has the same magic as it did in 1984. what memories!!

[@williamglenn8858]

This is perhaps the best Waters' recording that I've ever heard. In fact, this whole album is still in my top 10 of all time. The build is amazing, and lyrically Waters is right on point. I've often considered this the final chapter in his reign in Pink Floyd, a perfect conclusion to "The Wall" and "The Final Cut." As an album, it plays like one long song, and it's nuances are simply amazing. I'm not sure what happened with his later solo efforts, but this one will always be to me top notch.

[@jeremiassilvera4781]

Waters es el mejor compositor por lejos, y el disco es de otro mundo, es mas, este tema iba a estar en the wall, se lo quedo waters. El solo de clapton es de otro planeta.

[@northvilletunnels]

Agree it ia great. The tour with Clapton was great as well.

[@tboned5641]

@@northvilletunnels The tour with Clapton was phenomenal. Saw it 1984 in Toronto.

[@gilgameshhawhaw2651]

Well I think he wanted to make a good post Pink Floyd Record and the thought "well I need a guitarrist" . And why not hiring the most famous one . I mean Erick Clapton!

[@rreeves70]

I saw this tour concert in Chicago, with Clapton and Sanborn. It was the best I've seen. I agree with many others, this is some of the best Clapton guitar ever and a great Waters album. They should have made a concert film of that one!

Can’t stop listening to pros and cons and this song specifically. Waters was 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@anthonydiaz3386]

If anyone ever says that Roger Waters is not able to sing as I've heard from many comments in other videos of his, it is simply because these people don't know the difference between a performer and a true vocalist. If you might not know, Waters's voice is his biggest trademark in the Floyd world along with his amazing bass lines that were unleashed all over Floyd's albums. This voice is the result of his long journey with grief and agony since he lost his father in the WW2 and that was obvious in The Wall. And then he was raised by a terrible mother (he said that to Howard Stern, not me) and last but not least he loved a terrible girl friend who left and betrayed him. It really makes me amazed of how much this artist is tough to express all these black circumstances through brilliant and professional performance. Claps Waters !!!!!!

[@jamesquinlan8648]

Water's rocks this. great tune and one hell of a concert...

[@tinkerbell868]

"Yeah, but tonight lie still While I plunder your sweet grave" God, Roger, pure poetry to tell a woman that you want to make love to her.... You can do with me whatever you want.

[@brautigan1]

Clapton's best solo, imo. Ever.

[@JRR951]

After Cream I was never a huge fan of Clapton but after hearing this... He has really gone up in my book. Waters is great as always

[@kevinlancewicz4030]

Waters is so fucking great on a number of levels

[@DelPellezin]

I agree with @purplefloyd1739, this is the best solo of the album and in fact I never thought Eric Clapton was any good until I heard this. Was my first CD I ever bought and easily one of my favourites. I dont agree that Roger was trying to act like he's playing Eric's guitar, he's just singing and playing bass. If you knew Roger you would know he has no reason to act like Eric or anyone. He is Roger Waters! Enough said on this topic.

[@AdaM48state]

Great song love it!

Magnificent is a very small word to describe Waters genius and clapton´s "slowhand"

[@scottbertt]

Love it. Thank you

[@jbscotchman]

This is fucking great man! Thanks for uploading this.

[@rreeves70]

Yes, we were very lucky. Clapton's manager did even want him to do the album with Roger, much less the tour. Waters ended up losing about a $1 million by the end of that tour because of the costs at the time to make everything sound just like the album.

[@andrewbeds]

top quality

[@Grahamx227]

This was actually based on a demo Roger made for The Wall. The Immersion boxed set has this original version.

[@jsvkia1]

Yeah, and a demo for The Wall was in The Final Cut, but for the most part, Pros and Cons was always its own album, he presented both albums to the band and they ended up choosing The Wall, and he made this one solo

[@1982telecaster]

masterpiece

Pros and Cons and Amused to Death prove that Gilmour WAS replaceable after all.

[@tboned5641]

When you substitute David Gilmour with Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck, then great things will happen.

[@MidwestMidnight]

@purplefloyd1739 Roger is NOT acting like he's playing Clapton's guitar. He's playing bass. Just look at his stance. The camera doesn't pan far back enough to show his instrument, but he is CLEARLY playing bass. Any musician should be able to tell.

[@leenudelman228]

Hey man where are the rest of the lyrics,,,only one line,,,WTF ,,,still loving this.

[@nightmare00xx]

Dont know why some guy thinks waters was pretending to play claptons guitar parts. If you watch waters he clearly moves his body to the bass riff especially in the beginning of the song. amazing song by the way

[@EdgarHernandez-el5qk]

One of the best Waters solo songs.... Clapton is awesome in this one. That doesn´t mean that a prefer him from Gilmour lol XD

[@rreeves70]

@purplefloyd1739 I think you're mistaken... there's a heavy bass line that goes with the guitar riffs... re-watch the first one in the video, the first movement looks like he's mimicking the guitar, but watch the next movements - they go with the bass line.

[@PinkTheFloydable]

Should I get this album or Amused to Death? Can't decide. I doubt my dad would let me get both.

[@pater001]

Hey...girl Take out the dagger And let's have a stab at the sexual revolution Hey girl Let freedom for all be our rallying call Tomorrow lets make our new resolution Yeah, but tonight lie still While I plunder your sweet grave And remember Only the poor can be saved Hey girl As I've always said I prefer your lips red Not what the good Lord made But what he intended

[@rreeves70]

@purplefloyd1739 if you watch the movements he makes and listen to the bass line, you'd see that he's playing bass, like he usually does....

[@theerdman]

So... wanna hear something funny/ I was the original editor on this custom video, back in 2001. The actual "Sexual Revolution" video is just the farm video of his wife and him singing. I added all the movie clips and graphics. It was for video called "Roger Waters - Watching TV." I should post the whole thing sometime...

[@tboned5641]

I saw the concert in 1984 with Eric Clapton. It was unbelievable.

@@tboned5641 I was intentionally omitting the Cream reunion. Of course I liked that. I will check out "Glad" again although what I remember of that show was that his take on "Voodoo Chile" didn't impress me.

[@floydfan1993]

Roger plays bass and rythm guitar on this album. Hes definitly not pretending to play Erics part. Everyone, calm the FUCK down.

[@purplefloyd1739]

I watched the video again and realized that I was wrong about Roger acting as though he was playing the guitar part. Sorry!

[@whodroppedthefruit]

I will post this question on all 4 videos in question. Is there any place that explains why there are 4 different videos of this song? 2 are animated and two are images/video interspersed with Water's singing heads hot. The two animated videos have a significantly different tone. One is a very dark and literal depiction of the lyrics, while the other is more erotic and fits the "another (wet?) dream" sequence of Pros and Cons. Then there are the two interspersed videos with different images/video appearing in each. One feels like it was intended to use the imagery used during the live performance and the other uses some of the same imagery along with other clips that feel more like memory sequences from The Wall (for which the song was originally written). All 4 videos were obviously intended to be used for different reasons, but I can't find any place that explains why 4 different videos have been made for this song.

[@BenCulture]

Well, if you've got a specific interpretation in mind, by all means, please do share it with us.

[@nickj230]

@purplefloyd1739 I'm sorry but I don't see it . Everyone know Waters plays bass and I think that's what he was doing the whole time. Rogers is not the type to try to take credit... watch some of his live stuff, he stands back and only comes forward to sing into the mic. Someone could make the mistake, and I see what you're saying, but I don't think it s that he trying to take credit at all.

I might just add that Eric Clapton was not happy with his work on this album and he has not associated himself with it at all. Maybe the reason why he chose to not be on the video perhaps?

[@Bustadogg1]

Clapton and Gilmour have such a giant difference of style, that it doesnt even fit the song if Clapton plays it.

[@KeithKeegan]

3:48 who sees the triangular prism from Darkside of the Moon? x}

[@mundrubjet]

Yeah...Rogerhas always had very animated head movements like that...if you see his live shows especially. The 4 inch thick leather shoulder strap should have been the first clue that he's playing a heavier guitar like a bass. not to mention the fact that in his later shows like In the Flesh, he plays the 6 string quite well. Not as good as Eric, but at no time does this video actually show Roger playing a 6 string-WTF...

[@sebafloyd1]

yes , this is a great work but you must listen some of clapton's work in cream.

[@shanestevenbennettmr234]

eric clapton played lead and you can hear why......

[@ScoiaMMX]

@purplefloyd1739 I think he's playing bass on this video as should be. wold be quite stupit for him to pretend to be playing guitar when the sound is so clapton style.

[@purplefloyd1739]

its a great song and all but how dare roger act like he's playing claptons guitar! for everyone who doesnt know, eric clapton played the guitar for the entire album, not roger. roger plays bass.

[@BenCulture]

Not true. Yes, there is a very literal interpretation of the lyric in the film that went along with the concerts, but I think the line stands alone as a thought-provoking line of poetry. I think MOST of Roger's lyrics stand alone very well, and I'd be freakin' surprised if he never published a book of lyrics/poetry/prose/etc. With songwriters from Lou Reed to Ric Ocasek doing it, why shouldn't Roger? Since he plans to retire from the road after The Wall tour, that'd be something to do.
