Did I miss something? I never heard the words 'He was a creep' which featured on the thumbnail of this video be referred to, or substantiated as having been said by anyone, anywhere in the video itself.

I am a fan of Waters Floyd and solo work, but feel he has sailed through his career with his head firmly up his arse. Wrights keyboards were understated genius 🙃
@@janpierzchala2004 Many of us would say it was Gilmour. Roger was a brilliant lyricist no doubt and the best music was composed by Gilmour and often Wright together.
@@batphink2655David Gilmour and Rick Wright sang vocal harmonies that contributed greatly to their sound as exemplified with songs like Burning Bridges and Echoes.
That original reuniting (A Momentary Lapse of Reason) was really a David Gilmour solo project that had only a sliver of participation from Richard and Nick. David needed some agreement with them in order to use the massively marketable Pink Floyd brand name. It was about the HUGE, guaranteed payoff that using the Pink Floyd name would bring more than any other reason. Admittedly, Roger's first couple of post Floyd solo albums aren't my favorites either and are rarely worth going back to listen to.
Roger Waters talks a lot about peace but can't seem to get along with those closest to him. Married 5 times. And at odds with the other members of his band. Think it's you Roger.. that's the problem.
So he has been married five times, but that doesn't stop him from being a great musician and songwriter. Roger Waters contributions have been brilliant.
I must have missed the bit where Roger said: “…..he was a creep” ! Or maybe you just made it up for clicks?! If so (and I think you did!), I think that’s just pathetic! Go and get yourself some integrity!
5 minutes in and I began to wonder. I paused to look for this comment. Cheers, saved me some time. I've been a fan since 1972, and these waffling vignettes are becoming more frequent and contain less and less information.
@Excession-h6e Being a fan is one thing. The music they created is still respected. But : Watching your heroes and people you once admired becoming nothing more then narcissists, is very disappointing. So, why are you surprised ? Watch and listen what they are saying....it is totally opposite of the music they created. A two faced bigots....that's who they are.
@milenakorovljev4209 allowing someone's behaviour to affect and influence you is very passe. I mean no disrespect. I'm way too old to care what other people do or think. Their story and mine are tightly interwoven. I want to hear about them, not a wet behind the ears journalist's opinion.Judging them without being them would be ridiculous. Judging them through the filtre of a journalist trying to cash in on them would be mental. None of that was pointed at you personally BTW. Judging you would make even less sense. I'm just sharing my perspective.
Makes you wonder if Rodger pushed Richard out of Pink Floyd like he did to Syd, his so called best friend. In addition, he said to millions of people on the internet that Nick was not a musician but just a drummer. What a complete jerk.
Yes , I watched that video of him and Nick and he made that statement to Nick on a RUclips video.. very jerk and offensive.. Nick is a good heart guy who doesn’t stand against no one talking about the feud between Roger and Dave .. it wasn’t the case to say that to Nick . a drummer is. Musician.. music is made by ritmo ..
No Richard Wright no Pink Floyd,no Meddle,DSOTM,Wyou W here the three greatest albums.Its not always those who have the spotlight that suggest greatness it’s the quiet unassuming foundation of the music in the background.RIP Richard Wright a musicians musician.
@@Afe.j.69 on a personal level not now John even Dave Gilmour summed it up well on the track very funny & could not agree more the line in the song sums it up well "fuc! all that" excellent line & it summed it up well absolute garbage
Well I saw the Wall at Earls Court in London and he’s playing was fine, although I somewhat agree that he doesn’t have a good voice. It’s very unfortunate that he has chose to be arrogant and toxic instead of being humble about his achievements.
@@scottschroeder4920 I saw him in 2018, and I've heard he mimes a lot now, and also has a bass player on stage. Resting on your laurels is a term that comes to mind. Only the is this the life album and Pink Floyd were included in the set list. No amused hitch hiker or kaos. 🙃
Although i read that during 'The Wall' tour he was the only member of Floyd to actually make money being paid as a session musician whereas the others Waters included lost money. At his time of life RW should just be quiet because nobody is really interested in him trying to rewrite history. The EGO has landed!!
A similar thing happened to John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin. The two remaining members of Zeppelin shunned JPJ after the band disbanded although Jones was the official music arranger as well as keyboard/bass player.
@@juke699 Sorry I can’t agree, its not as strong as the Wall but many don’t like that either. Roger changed direction and continued that with his solo albums. Rogers Amused to Death is an absolute classic.
Not a cliche omitted in this horrid pseudo-documentary! And I am still waiting to hear Roger Waters "Finally OPEN UP"! No disrespect to Richard Wright.
No Floyd without the depth of Wright, his magic hands are the sweet athmosphere of abundance, he gave Gilmour the plattform to shine❤ Gratitude and Love forever❤❤❤
I think Roger Waters is a guy who could start an argument alone in a telephone booth. Also he's lost without the other members of Floyd he can write lyrics, but not much in the way of melody, Rick and Dave were the real driving force behind the sound that made PF great.
Think you've got this the wrong way round. Okay, there wasn't a massive amount of melody on Pros and Cons but there's bags of it on Radio KAOS, Amused to Death and Is this the Life We Really Want. On the other hand I very quickly got bored by the monotonous droning on post Waters Floyd albums.
Always supported wright Waters was just an ego on legs.... His talent over shadowed by his egotistical attitude. Wright was far more talented.... Waters was just a pathetic bully boy...
the hardest part of being in a band isn't the music its dealing with other people. A certain amount of big ego is simultaneously needed to be sucessful and driven and is also toxic to the group dynamic
And today Waters is an angry teen in an 81 year old body. If anything, he has regressed over the decades. In his 20's he wrote lyrics that were precocious and intimated a wisdom beyond his years. Too bad he didn't take his own lyrics' advice to heart.
Roger Waters s mediocre solo albums are the prove that he was not the leader of Pink Floyd. The band was four members and each one s contribution was important.
Hey Roger… opinions are like assholes.. we all have one and most of them stink. You left Floyd thinking that there was no way they could continue without you ( and your delusions of personal grandeur) . When they continued you spat the dummy like a spoiled child. No one gives a toss what you think and the idea that you think that they should shows exactly the kind of person you are.
Without Waters Pink Floyd would never have hit the heights they did. Without Wright there wouldn't have been a Pink Floyd, or at least not in the form we all know it. I never liked the Final Cut, to be honest I think it's the worst album they released. Roger should have left after The Wall it was obvious his heart was no Longer in it as regards Pink Floyd as a band. I'm going to be controversial here, but maybe it would have been better if Pink Floyd had called it a day after The Wall before the animosity grew too much, then there may always have been the chance of an amicable reunion to record the odd album while they all pursued separate solo careers.
Pink Floyd would never have been without Roger's writings of the darkness of society and those he encountered. All brought on by his troubled childhood. However, he was never more than an average musician. He even needed help tuning his bass. His abrasiveness would have been very hard for anyone to be around him for very long. The rest of the band must have had a constant struggle with him. However, I am very thankful for everything they created for us. Pink Floyd has always been my favorite band and I don't see that changing anytime soon. R.I.P. Syd and Rick and thanks for the wonderful music ALL of the members brought into my life!!
Richard Wright came across as polite, reserved, talented and typically English. Roger Waters comes across as offensive, vitriolic, self important and downright nasty. Floyd after Waters was a better band: Guy Pratt's bass playing pissed all over Waters playing, and Polly Samson's lyricism matched anything the band had done before. Rick was badly treated, Waters bullied him and tried to end the band after he left. Gilmour, Wright and Mason were Pink Floyd, Waters was arrogant and destructive.
This narcissist, the A... H... Roger was the creep and is especially now, to speak like this of the dead. Roger kicked Richard out of the band for he wanted to be the Final Cut, the end.
Exactly what Robert Bell commented.Where was the 'He was a creep'. Nothing whatsover about that in the video.Just to draw people in. like myself,unfortunately.
Roger Waters feuded with the band, stayed at separate hotels and took separate limousines from the rest of the band starting on the Animals Tour in 1977, spat on a fan, rejecting Richard Wright and David Gilmour’s music contributions, bullied Wright out of the band and then sued Gilmour for carrying on without him.
Richard Wright's musicianship is what gave Pink Floyd the sound to accompany Syd Barret's song writing on Piper at the Gates of Dawn. During the noodling/space rock period, Wright kept the band afloat while Waters was still learning to write meaningful songs. The band wouldn't have existed in 1973 to create Dark Side of the Moon if Wright hadn't gotten them there. I recognize that Waters eventually became the songwriter that defined Pink Floyd's best work, but it never would have happened if it weren't for Richard Wright. As much as I appreciate Roger Waters, he lacks humility, which is a character flaw, and the reason he found himself exiled from his own band.
I was in a pub in London a few years back, having a drink with Richard Wright, suddenly Rich went pale, when i looked up, Roger Waters had just walked in, he looked over to our table where we were drinking, and shouted out "Oi ... Wright, ... me and you, outside , now"!!!.. before I knew what was happening, they were at eachothers throats punching the heck out of each other.
@@JismIsm-en4kz Roger won it hands down, but to be fair to Richard, he got a few kicks in when Roger was on the floor, but you don't want to mess with Roger Waters when he's pissed.
Waters had one lead vocal song on each album until “Animals” then he got more dominant from that to “Final Cut”.. The only lead vocal he had on DSOtM was “Brain Damage/Eclipse” but most vocal was dueted with David.
Jeez, So would i, but i think that they would not stoop down to Waters level, especially when a man who has passed away cannot defend himself, a dignified silence can say so much ! !.
I met the guys in person in a college refectory in Farnborough England in February 1971 at the college rag week gig. My best mate at college Glyn had been to he same school, Frensham Heights, near Farnham and knew Nick Mason so we had an intro. This was a few months before the release of Dark Side. They were waiting to go on stage. Dave, Nick and Rick sat round with a group of us in the rag committee having a beer and a smoke. They were all ordinary down to earth guys and spoke about previous college gigs. Roger joined us but he was different to the rest of the band. There was something about him that made you feel awkward. To put it bluntly, when he spoke it was as if he was up his own "ars**ole" and highly opinionated . He gave the impression of being better than anyone else. Even all those years ago you could understand how he was the sort of person some people might find it difficult to get on with..
Rick may never have been Pink Floyd's head, but he was always its heart. He embodied a quiet strength and grace, and he never sought to draw attention to himself.
Funny thing is, with Richard Wright being paid as a “session musician” when The Wall went on tour, he was the only one who made money. The show was so expensive to mount , the band members all lost money. So there.
Oh you mean because they showed a picture with Syd in it at that time stamp. Yeah, that was a poor decision to show that picture there. It would have made more sense if they were talking about WYWH.
@@markgerrard383 Surely Syd Barrett was most responsible for Dark Side considering Waters used Syds idea to bring in a sax player and a female singer plus the clocks at start of Time is a rerecording of Syds Clockword Room at the end of Bike. Waters even copied the naked woman on Syds first solo album for his own first solo record.
Wow, that is TRULLY priceless! Richard a creep? Yes, it's best to attack someone who isn't here to defend himself! Ask other members of Pink Floyd Nick and David, to find out who the REAL creep was! Roger destroyed Pink Floyd out of jelaousy, specially towards David, he's too insecure and petty, and writing good songs doesn't change that!
Can’t stand Waters. Whilst all the other band members quietly get on with their lives as actual musicians, Waters thinks he has the answer to all the world’s problems. He should have gone into politics. Trump would have loved him. Their egos would have been a very close match. He never could actually sing, that’s why his stage shows are all theatrics, it detracts from the fact that those vocals are somewhat wanting.
A wise scientist once wrote that there are two kinds of genius: one is where, if you practised and studied long enough, you thought you could equal; the other is a magician, and you would have no hope of understanding how he wrought his magic. Rick Wright was of the latter kind. Rog, truly a kind of genius, drifted to fascism and authoritarian dominance. Rick, another kind of gentle genius altogether, was crushed and discarded. I value both their musical contributions, but Rick had the content of character that Rog never could.
It made sense to sack Wright and then re-employ him as a session musician on a wage of £200 pw which is tax deductible and indeed Wright was the only member who made money on the over elaborate Wall tour. I wouldn't be surprised if a tax advisor suggested this to them.
@geertvanderleest6362 one criticism of PF I have is they should have had a rhythm guitarist too although the keyboards filled in. They did bring in Snowy White for the Animals tour though. It's likely they didn't want to pay an extra musician in a career that could end anytime and they probably weren't completely financially secure.
On the tour where he was a hired gun, he was paid 125k. The tour was so expensive that it ended with the band in debt. Richard was the only one who walked away with money. Checkmate Mr Waters.
Inmy view the most appealing work that Pink Floyd did was when Gilmour and Wright collaborated in writing the material. Wright was a unique artist. By the way, I bought Wet Dream and it is a very good album.
As mentioned by Nick Mason in his book, Wright was blocked by contract to rejoin as member of Pink Floyd. Roger imposed it at the moment Wright was fired. It had overcomed only after Gilmour won the legal batle with Roger about Pink Floyd rights disput. So, due that, Wright only joined the Momentary Lapse of the Reason production as a hired misician.
Not sure what is going on here but waters should have been in therapy. Its easy to classify exteriors but he is troubled. Im not sure his major problem. Maybe the best band ever. His obsession with politics is kind of annoying. Sure he makes good points but in the end its not music. We dont know jack squat honestly. We can assume its this or that but who knows. Wright tied the sound together. Could it have been the drugs? What about women? That is possible yes. Wright had some serious issues with drugs ive heard. The wall is something else. Is waters the issue? Its very possible. Gilmour can be a bit of a new world order commie. I dont have any answers. Pink floyd is something else.
Like with the Beatles I am just glad Pink Floyd stayed together for as long as they did. I suspect the whole thing was a long way from being black and white with the good guy and the bad guy. It was highly complicated shades of grey - some shades admittedly darker than others. We should not expect highly talented musicians to be morally sound human beings. They are in the gutter with the rest of us. When we hear what they compose we can see the beautiful starry sky and not feel so much all the dirt and scum. I know this is in no sense a magic wand but I think the thing to do is just be very very thankful for the marvellous music they made together. Some people say they don't like the final cut. I think it is a good record. But when they come up with titles like "the gunners dream" perhaps the band should re-name themselves Pink Freud.
@@richardrickford3028 I do like a lot of final cut, but again it's just Wodges ramblings about the life he thought his father had, and the army taking him away. The Wall is pretty much the same, but with the meltdown of a rock star thrown in 🙃

I recently bought Wright's Wet Dream on Blu Ray with 5.1 surround format . It is truly amazing and the 5.1 mix makes it truly mind bending !
Roger wouldn't have been anywhere near as successful without Wright.
Roger makes fun of Christians as if we are all idiots, so who is the real CREEP (hint: look in the mirror Roger)?
Exactly what Robert Bell commented.Where was the 'He was a creep'. Nothing whatsover about that in the video.Just to draw people in. like myself,unfortunately.
funny how the the other 3 members of pink floyd claim roger was a creep
Roger Waters feuded with the band, stayed at separate hotels and took separate limousines from the rest of the band starting on the Animals Tour in 1977, spat on a fan, rejecting Richard Wright and David Gilmour’s music contributions, bullied Wright out of the band and then sued Gilmour for carrying on without him.
Richard Wright's musicianship is what gave Pink Floyd the sound to accompany Syd Barret's song writing on Piper at the Gates of Dawn. During the noodling/space rock period, Wright kept the band afloat while Waters was still learning to write meaningful songs. The band wouldn't have existed in 1973 to create Dark Side of the Moon if Wright hadn't gotten them there. I recognize that Waters eventually became the songwriter that defined Pink Floyd's best work, but it never would have happened if it weren't for Richard Wright. As much as I appreciate Roger Waters, he lacks humility, which is a character flaw, and the reason he found himself exiled from his own band.
I'd take issue with the term "songwriter", his major contributions were lyrics and tensions.
Rick was a very modest genius. Rest in Peace.
rick was a big part of pink floyd's sounds and arrangements
I was in a pub in London a few years back, having a drink with Richard Wright, suddenly Rich went pale, when i looked up, Roger Waters had just walked in, he looked over to our table where we were drinking, and shouted out "Oi ... Wright, ... me and you, outside , now"!!!.. before I knew what was happening, they were at eachothers throats punching the heck out of each other.
Seriously / Who won 'The Fight'?
Few years back? Wright died in 2008
@@JismIsm-en4kz Roger won it hands down, but to be fair to Richard, he got a few kicks in when Roger was on the floor, but you don't want to mess with Roger Waters when he's pissed.
@@PaulFormentos yeah, it was about 20 years ago, Richard wasn't looking for a punch up, but Roger cornered him.
Waters had one lead vocal song on each album until “Animals” then he got more dominant from that to “Final Cut”.. The only lead vocal he had on DSOtM was “Brain Damage/Eclipse” but most vocal was dueted with David.
And thank god for that…
@@scottschroeder4920amen brother
I support Waters politics BUT i do NOT believe Wright was a creep, it is known Waters was and is a Control Freak! No Rick Wright = NO Pink Floyd!
Why is Waters doing this? I would love to hear what Mason and Gilmour think about this?
Jeez, So would i, but i think that they would not stoop down to Waters level, especially when a man who has passed away cannot defend himself, a dignified silence can say so much ! !.
I think they both know that the best way to deal with the whiny knut is to just ignore him
Looks like the person who put this together wasn't even aware that Wright died 16 years ago...
I met the guys in person in a college refectory in Farnborough England in February 1971 at the college rag week gig. My best mate at college Glyn had been to he same school, Frensham Heights, near Farnham and knew Nick Mason so we had an intro. This was a few months before the release of Dark Side. They were waiting to go on stage. Dave, Nick and Rick sat round with a group of us in the rag committee having a beer and a smoke. They were all ordinary down to earth guys and spoke about previous college gigs. Roger joined us but he was different to the rest of the band. There was something about him that made you feel awkward. To put it bluntly, when he spoke it was as if he was up his own "ars**ole" and highly opinionated . He gave the impression of being better than anyone else. Even all those years ago you could understand how he was the sort of person some people might find it difficult to get on with..
Rick may never have been Pink Floyd's head, but he was always its heart. He embodied a quiet strength and grace, and he never sought to draw attention to himself.
Amazing! Thanks🎉
Best timeless song of PF will allways be and remain 'the great gig in the sky'....
Thanks to Clare Torry and of course RW...
Honestly it's truly amazing that Waters ended up far more mentally unstable than Syd ever was.
Water’s appointment with the men in white coats is long over due.
He did not!
David Gilmour wouldn't play Echoes ever again without Rick Wright. I think that says it all
Funny thing is, with Richard Wright being paid as a “session musician” when The Wall went on tour, he was the only one who made money. The show was so expensive to mount , the band members all lost money. So there.
The dead can't defend themselves.
Unless they're Vampires
ego is to blame Roger sounds like a toxic man
Non more toxic!
2.00 I never knew Syd played on Animals in 1977...this completely re-writes the book 😂
No he's not on there they just showed that picture with Syd in it But not sure he left years ago 🙂
He didn't. He was referring to Wright.
Oh you mean because they showed a picture with Syd in it at that time stamp. Yeah, that was a poor decision to show that picture there. It would have made more sense if they were talking about WYWH.
He did play on it with crayons later in is life.
Funny but I would rather have Richard Wright than Roger Waters and The final cut is not really a PF album and as such it is difficult to play.
No Pink Floyd without Roger..
He wrote
Meddle
DSOTM
WYWH
Animals
The Wall
The Final Cut
the rest were filler...basically
RW could be either Waters or Wright.. ?
waters is a egotistical bum.
@@markgerrard383 Surely Syd Barrett was most responsible for Dark Side considering Waters used Syds idea to bring in a sax player and a female singer plus the clocks at start of Time is a rerecording of Syds Clockword Room at the end of Bike.
Waters even copied the naked woman on Syds first solo album for his own first solo record.
@@markgerrard383I don't consider Comfortably Numb and High Hopes filler. Just 2 examples.
It took awhile for Dave to truly move on without Him
It wasn't just Dave Roger missed musically
He had a great voice too.
Great harmonies with David.
"He was a creep???" while he did not say it, he was one himself 😂
roger waters is the biggest creep going he hated the rest of the band due to the fame they got with there personalities but roger does not have one .
For Roger, the one who wrote the lyrics and the chord progression was the one who had made the song, but that is not true at all.
Wow, that is TRULLY priceless! Richard a creep? Yes, it's best to attack someone who isn't here to defend himself! Ask other members of Pink Floyd Nick and David, to find out who the REAL creep was! Roger destroyed Pink Floyd out of jelaousy, specially towards David, he's too insecure and petty, and writing good songs doesn't change that!
Can’t stand Waters. Whilst all the other band members quietly get on with their lives as actual musicians, Waters thinks he has the answer to all the world’s problems. He should have gone into politics. Trump would have loved him. Their egos would have been a very close match. He never could actually sing, that’s why his stage shows are all theatrics, it detracts from the fact that those vocals are somewhat wanting.
@yesman2755 I don't think Trump condones antisemitism. Waters makes excuses for terrorists.
Sorry when does Roger open up about Rick? and when does Roger call Rick a creep? at what point in this video does any of that happen?
Roger takes a lot of heat for opposing the current genocide and Lebensraum.
Team Wright
Richard Wright was an absolute golden soul!
Roger is a great songwriter/musician... but not such a great human.
Wright was back as a full member on The Division Bell and fully reinstated as a member voting on Pink Floyd back catalog releases.
wright's song "remember a day" is among my favorite pf songs.
A wise scientist once wrote that there are two kinds of genius: one is where, if you practised and studied long enough, you thought you could equal; the other is a magician, and you would have no hope of understanding how he wrought his magic. Rick Wright was of the latter kind. Rog, truly a kind of genius, drifted to fascism and authoritarian dominance. Rick, another kind of gentle genius altogether, was crushed and discarded. I value both their musical contributions, but Rick had the content of character that Rog never could.
I love the final cut!🙎
I hate it.
I love it
Me too. Very underrated album.
Roger isn't bad mouthing Rick now he's dead, is he? That would be well dirty. Who will it be next? Syd?
Surprised waters didn't blame the Jews.
It made sense to sack Wright and then re-employ him as a session musician on a wage of £200 pw which is tax deductible and indeed Wright was the only member who made money on the over elaborate Wall tour. I wouldn't be surprised if a tax advisor suggested this to them.
Indeed, he had been the only one earnning some money during that tour ! 😉
@geertvanderleest6362 one criticism of PF I have is they should have had a rhythm guitarist too although the keyboards filled in. They did bring in Snowy White for the Animals tour though. It's likely they didn't want to pay an extra musician in a career that could end anytime and they probably weren't completely financially secure.
On the tour where he was a hired gun, he was paid 125k. The tour was so expensive that it ended with the band in debt. Richard was the only one who walked away with money. Checkmate Mr Waters.
Waters was a workaholic, Wright was a lazy bone addict.
Bone addict ??
Final Cut of what : decency ???
Inmy view the most appealing work that Pink Floyd did was when Gilmour and Wright collaborated in writing the material. Wright was a unique artist. By the way, I bought Wet Dream and it is a very good album.
As mentioned by Nick Mason in his book, Wright was blocked by contract to rejoin as member of Pink Floyd. Roger imposed it at the moment Wright was fired. It had overcomed only after Gilmour won the legal batle with Roger about Pink Floyd rights disput. So, due that, Wright only joined the Momentary Lapse of the Reason production as a hired misician.
Without Jon Carin a lot of Pink Floyd music could not be played live.
Not sure what is going on here but waters should have been in therapy. Its easy to classify exteriors but he is troubled. Im not sure his major problem. Maybe the best band ever. His obsession with politics is kind of annoying. Sure he makes good points but in the end its not music. We dont know jack squat honestly. We can assume its this or that but who knows. Wright tied the sound together. Could it have been the drugs? What about women? That is possible yes. Wright had some serious issues with drugs ive heard. The wall is something else. Is waters the issue? Its very possible. Gilmour can be a bit of a new world order commie. I dont have any answers. Pink floyd is something else.
Cool guy
Like with the Beatles I am just glad Pink Floyd stayed together for as long as they did. I suspect the whole thing was a long way from being black and white with the good guy and the bad guy. It was highly complicated shades of grey - some shades admittedly darker than others. We should not expect highly talented musicians to be morally sound human beings. They are in the gutter with the rest of us. When we hear what they compose we can see the beautiful starry sky and not feel so much all the dirt and scum. I know this is in no sense a magic wand but I think the thing to do is just be very very thankful for the marvellous music they made together. Some people say they don't like the final cut. I think it is a good record. But when they come up with titles like "the gunners dream" perhaps the band should re-name themselves Pink Freud.
People fall out with each other. That's just how life is.
@@richardrickford3028 I do like a lot of final cut, but again it's just Wodges ramblings about the life he thought his father had, and the army taking him away. The Wall is pretty much the same, but with the meltdown of a rock star thrown in 🙃
