I love both bands and it's disappointing that these two great artists don't get on well with each other. And yet I've never heard Thom speak about another artist in that horrible way.
He doesn't. His version of abuse is the absence of praise. He'll say something like "you're the only good thing in the charts" as apposed to saying everything is rubbish.
Roger Waters going on public forums like this calling Yorke a prick and a self-obsessed narcissist is the reason that Thom can't and won't take him seriously. Just saying.
@Jcorb Sounds to me like they had emails back and forth and Waters (in what I imagine is the same tone he had used in pissing off the rest of Pink Floyd back in the 80s) was quite upset that Yorke wasn't on the same page as him.
ExileOnDaytonStreet Yep, it's no surprise that he's essentially forced out all of his band members as well as his greatest ever producer for trivial offenses... really just his egomania at play. Nice name btw.
@jcorb What's interesting to me is how Waters has no issues playing Australia or the United States or Europe or the UK, etc. Because those countries have clean human rights records, right? I think the point Yorke has made is a pretty simple one, don't punish the people for what the government does.
@@growingmelancholy8374 Thom said he doesn't support Trump but no one cancelled gigs in the US over him meanwhile Roger capitalized on Trump by playing shows along the southern US border. He also stated that Jonny's wife is Israeli and Roger tried driving a wedge between the band and Nigel to try to manipulate them into cancelling their Tel Aviv gig.

@@levibeam100 The video is about TY playing in Israel... there’s no denying anyone’s musical ability, but their judgment... did you agree with bands playing in SA during apartheid?
All Thom Yorke does is whine. And all his songs SUCK. Roger is right on point- thom yorke is a prick. Radiohead are whiny, boring, pretentious, most over rated tripe.
He has no problem touring or receiving royalties from UK and the US . Which supplies arms that kills thousands every year all over the world. He wanted to use Radiohead for politics and they weren’t interested. He should have left it at that.
Also it's not one of the asks in the BDS movement which is the Palestinian-lead movement that conscientious musicians like Roger are following, though more and more think like Chomsky that US should also be a target of boycotts, given their funding of genocide currently and historically.
If Roger really cared about the Palestinians he'd allow these artists to perform for the majority of innocent masses who have been deprived of music because of him...
Roger is supporting the BDS as do the Palestinian people… they have as Radio Head not to play… but the pompous English imperialist pricks ignored them.
@@karlconnolly3994 he's not supporting it. U do know there is radiohead fans in Israel and not all people in Israel support what they're government is even doing so no he is not endourcing a far right agenda at all
Spidy151 Yorke defied the wishes of BDS and the Palestinian people... playing in and normalizing apartheid Israel as a normal democracy... when it’s in fact a british/American colony in the ME with nuclear warheads.
Don’t they? British irony’ is something employed with intention. It’s a form of humour, something crafted. Roger doesn’t mean to be ironic in this clip. He is completely serious… it is ironic for sure, cos he’s doesn’t see his own arrogance. It’s ironic, even a little comic. But it’s not what we mean by ‘British irony’
He's effortlessly justifying Thom's actions here, throwing insults at a guy he doesn't know, calling him narcissistic. Pretty rich from the guy who made The Wall.
@@priscillaeyles3301 He may be sometime a bit self indulgent, but without him, Pink Floyd wouldn't have reached the heights and wouldn't have the status it has today. Hell, they would've probably been just an underground band or something.
@@TheTurkishKebabExperience I’m not sure why you’re replying since your response doesn’t even make sense but is rather irrelevant to what the person above you said.
It’s about playing in the oppressive,sectarian American colony know as Israel..Roger won’t..Thom will..for the right price..even if the money is blood money.
@@karlconnolly3994 do you have an off button man? playing in a country doesn’t mean endorsing it’s government, and it’s not the peoples fault that they have a very bad government. just shut the fuck up bro, roger is an asshole, and has been since he finished the wall.
I ran into Thom Yorke in a grocery store in Los Angeles once. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw Thom Yorke trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
For those unaware, this is a copypasta. You can search any of these paragraphs and it'll lead you to several others like this one using other celebrities (Ryan Gosling's being a prevalent one) You can also google: I Saw Flying Lotus in a Grocery Store Copypasta Knowyourmeme.
I adore Thom Yorke... he is a bit of a synical twat, and I would appreciate his support of an oppressed Palestine... however , I trust that he (and Radiohead) take into account many considerations in there decisions, they are driven by many factors , and as a result they will naturally clash with others on moral choices.
Not to deny that TY and RW both exhibit narcissistic traits, but I shudder to think what would happen if artists boycotted all countries associated with atrocities … pretty much leaves us with Bhutan (and they may well have skeletons too). TY and RH have chosen to engage with Israeli fans; JGs wife is Israeli, and Israel was where they first hit big. Boycotting Israel would be pretty hypocritical for this particular band.
Well I must have a say here, I love Roger waters and PF and everything they have done for rock music, and I agree with Roger waters politically on many things especially foreign policy and our (US) toxic battered wife syndrome relationship with Israel. But I also love Radiohead the band, Thom Yorke is himself a genius even if he is a lifestyle liberal with TDS, and Roger is an opinionated overly emotional asshole I think he’d admit it first. I’d really love to hear unbiased story of what was said to whom or how it was delivered. It would be really disappointing to see Thom say something like “Israel’s money is good here” as picky as they are with interviews and chowing to sit down with clowns like Stephen Colbert before showing up to their RockNroll HOF induction is really confusing.
waters insults so many artists, only in this one single interview, that are, in my opinion, all better than him. Nick Cave sings, looks, writes and treats himself better than Waters, as well as Thom Yorke does. I mean, c'mon, what is he trying to do? As soon as he startet to talk and sing and write lyrics, all were ironic or full of hate about seemingly anything (society, time, life at all, Thatcher, dogs and pigs and walls and cuts and everything...). The artists he insults instead wrote songs about love and hope and joy. Only because he is old and grumpy and unable to feel or write about love and joy he shouldn't insult other artists. As if the people of a country are to blame for the actions of their government... Even the interviewers are trying not to laugh.
It's a shame, because I'm a huge fan of the work of both Waters and Yorke. I honestly think it comes down to a different conception of what art should be (I think this explains the difference between Roger and David as well). For Roger, art is inherently political-the artist has a voice and as such should use it to make outward and tangible commentary and change. I came away from Roger's show the most politically invigorated I have from any concert I've ever attended. And it does make a difference; there were protesters for and against him outside, people handing out leaflets, the screens onstage held very clear, direct, and evidenced political messages. For Yorke (and Gilmour), art can be something far more inward. It can be beautiful for the sake of beauty, separate from the injustices of the world, escapism (but not always just that). Art can deal with the personal, the emotional, not necessarily the outward and political. I walked away from Yorke's show more profoundly emotionally impacted than I have from any other concert because of the sheer beauty of the music itself.
It's a very interesting debate and of course it's a subjective one, because how can we really definitively say what the purpose of art should be? Obviously it can be perceived both ways, and I definitely see the value in both perspectives.
Interesting, either way though the point is that Yorke and co have made political statements in albums such as Hail To The Thief which is a reference to George Bush,Tony Blair & the Iraq war. Yorke also has a band called 'Atoms for Peace!! So for him to claim that music shouldn't be political is a hit rich & a convenient erasure of their past output & stances, when the topic of 'politics' & their lack of support for Palestine becomes too difficult for them to justifiably defend. Apart from in the naff way of claiming you have 'Palestinian friends' and that Johnny's wife is Israeli so that makes it ok to cross the picket line. Like saying 'I'm not racist, I have black friends and my friend married a black woman'.
Let’s see, who was the one who left behind two band members because he cared about his band more than his friends, left the band and tried to actually take the name for himself, and played a concert in Israel floating pigs in the air plastered with the Star of David?
Thom Yorke doesn't agree with cultural boycotts. So the fact that he played in Israel doesn't entail that he agrees with Israeli policy. Does anyone really think that had radiohead refused to play for the Israeli fans, that somehow the Israeli government would loose its support from the U.S. to continue annexing territory and commit crimes against Palestinians? Waters was frustrated because he didn't agree with his tactic. It's ridiculous to call Yorke a "narcissistic prick" after hearing how self-absorbed The Wall is.
Roger is a way way way way better musician than Thom. And that's coming from an Israeli that loves Radiohead. But Roger and Pink Floyd are just in a different league than everyone else.
It’s ignoble the way roger waters clings to this conflict seemingly more to gather attention to himself. You risk doing more harm than good if you don’t have integrity. Just noise, a clanging gong
Waters was a bitter, angry young man. Now he's become a bitter, jealous and even angrier old man. Maybe he should think about keeping his opinions to himself in the future, so he doesn't lose any more fans than he already has.
" that's it......I'm giving up the music business !......you've finally convinced me!....." . yes the situation is awful but Tel Aviv is very liberal for Israel and many people there don't want a wall...... Does it work ? yes. Is it a solution? no.
While Radiohead are good and my era I have to concede Pink Floyd musically and artistically are miles better, it wouldn't surprise me that Thom's ego is over inflated
Well, I don't know if this is sarcasm but if the main issue was he wanted to have a conversation with Thom but he says he refused, he can't then also say they had a long email exchange. That means they did have a conversation, and at the end of it Thom disagreed with him, which is of course his right. I disagree with Thom on this issue but if we had a civil discourse on the matter I would respect his point of view. I think what Waters really wanted was not just discourse. He wanted Thom to agree with him. When he didn't, he calls him a prick in a public forum. I think regardless of the issue they are discussing, this is the real sign of egotistical behavior: that a person you argued with didn't concede and agree with you. And rather than accepting that he didn't just dismiss you, but that he engaged in good-faith and tried to be civil, you simply trash him for not accepting that you are "objectively" right. That's an incredibly lame position to take and makes his bashing of Thom really hypocritical.
The problems in Israel/Palestina is the main issue. But on a sidenote i think Roger Waters is the prick for insulting a fellow artist like that. Is that the way you think we should communicate to bring peace to the world Roger Waters?
Waters has discovered the clout-chasing a bit late. But it's cute, I sure can't wait for this man, who could've been (just) part of history in a great way, to also being a geriatric snobby version of a prank vlogger.
Music and ....surpression are indeed 2 different things. Yet, often music in 't's art can be used to go for a better world. I that capacity, my sympathy goes to Roger!. If it comes to music, hardly anyone ( and from Buddy Holly to Scott Walker I know), has any idea who the bloody hell Radiohead is. They listened to many time to Scott Walker, without hearing him!
Maybe the Israeli fans should do something about their governments genocide against the Palestinian people, if they want to be able to watch their favorite artists in concert.
i hate this guy. i’ve never heard anything positive come out of his mouth. the first thing ive ever heard about him was when he said that drake and the weeknd should be irrelevant compared to him. then i learned about all his beef with pink floyd and now he’s hating on a completely innocent frontman for one of the best bands of all time for supposedly having qualities that roger has himself. one of the most annoying people in the history of the music industry

Rogers Waters describing someone else, and himself at the same fucking time.
The fact that Roger Waters (whom I dearly love and respect) used the words "self-obsessed narcissist" and didn't burst into flames proves that THERE IS NO GOD.
No, it just shows you have a very specific idea of how you think your version of 'god' should act/respond.
Just respect someone's decision not to talk? If they don't want to get involved they don't have too? Thom yorke is someone that speaks and does indeed act when he wants to. Environment ect. In this case he had his reasons. Respect them and be respectful. Don't abuse him for that! He's not narcissistic or a prick. That's a nasty thing to say to someone you don't know. Don't form a false opinion on someone out of spite because you can't get what you want from them Roger Walters!
P.s I've met thom yorke twice and both times he was opposite to a prick. A nice bloke.
@@alisonharte76 thom is a very nice and funny guy, roger is the aggressor, but roger has always been an asshole. even in the Pink Floyd years he was a prick
Forming a false opinion of someone bc you can’t get what you want from them is what narcissists tend to do. It’s called splitting. Seems like Roger is prob the narcissist. Never cared for his music either. TY on the other hand - genius
And of course he said they had a long email discourse, so they did talk! He just didn't like that Thom didn't bow down to his superior intellect. Pretty ridiculous.
You know the old saying that goes : "it takes one to know one".
Then you’ll know one.
"He's just a self-obsessed, narcissistic prick."
Well, it takes one to know one, I guess.
I am obsessed with Thom Yorke. I think he is the number one singer of all time and artist. Nothing can top Thom Yorke and Radiohead.

The video is about TY playing in Israel... there’s no denying anyone’s musical ability, but their judgment... did you agree with bands playing in SA during apartheid?
Kinda weird that Pink Floyd and Radiohead are two of my favorite bands of all time. And people often see me in the comments section. lol
Everyone in these comments comparing their respective musical projects is completely missing the point.
At least Thom Yorke doesn't lip synch his concerts.
Grega he should probably start, he sounds like an asian schoolgirls cat
Grega he is like 70 years old lmao
you think roger waters is lip synching ?
Not every single song, but he uses a lot of playback in concerts.
All Thom Yorke does is whine. And all his songs SUCK. Roger is right on point- thom yorke is a prick. Radiohead are whiny, boring, pretentious, most over rated tripe.
He has no problem touring or receiving royalties from UK and the US . Which supplies arms that kills thousands every year all over the world. He wanted to use Radiohead for politics and they weren’t interested. He should have left it at that.
THANK YOUUUUU!!! Fake altruism at it's best.
False equivalence.
Are the UK and the US apartheid states?
He receives royalties from his music sales, not the UK and the US.
The UK isn't governed by talmudic law. Read more.
Also it's not one of the asks in the BDS movement which is the Palestinian-lead movement that conscientious musicians like Roger are following, though more and more think like Chomsky that US should also be a target of boycotts, given their funding of genocide currently and historically.
If Roger really cared about the Palestinians he'd allow these artists to perform for the majority of innocent masses who have been deprived of music because of him...
👍
Roger is supporting the BDS as do the Palestinian people… they have as Radio Head not to play… but the pompous English imperialist pricks ignored them.
love pink floyd and radiohead but tbh i can imagine both of these guys are probably pricks in ways lol
aren't we all?
TY wins for his support of a heinous far right thieving,murderous,oppressive,sectarian sate that is Israel..that is occupied Palestine.

I don’t think they get English imperialism in the Middle East either.
Don’t they? British irony’ is something employed with intention. It’s a form of humour, something crafted.
Roger doesn’t mean to be ironic in this clip. He is completely serious… it is ironic for sure, cos he’s doesn’t see his own arrogance. It’s ironic, even a little comic. But it’s not what we mean by ‘British irony’
Neither do you, apparently, as this wasn't meant ironically. He really thinks this about Thom Yorke.

He's effortlessly justifying Thom's actions here, throwing insults at a guy he doesn't know, calling him narcissistic. Pretty rich from the guy who made The Wall.

I ran into Thom Yorke in a grocery store in Los Angeles once. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw Thom Yorke trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

Roger and Thom strike me as eerily similar people.
They’re just not though. Thom isn’t an egotistical, self-absorbed maniac like RW. This vid is just some hardcore projecting
I am a huge Thom Yorke fan but he is. So is Roger to some extent but much less because he’s older and wiser.
I adore Thom Yorke... he is a bit of a synical twat, and I would appreciate his support of an oppressed Palestine... however , I trust that he (and Radiohead) take into account many considerations in there decisions, they are driven by many factors , and as a result they will naturally clash with others on moral choices.
Love them both but Waters is a self absorbed prat.
Pot calling the kettle black.
Not to deny that TY and RW both exhibit narcissistic traits, but I shudder to think what would happen if artists boycotted all countries associated with atrocities … pretty much leaves us with Bhutan (and they may well have skeletons too).
TY and RH have chosen to engage with Israeli fans; JGs wife is Israeli, and Israel was where they first hit big. Boycotting Israel would be pretty hypocritical for this particular band.
Well I must have a say here, I love Roger waters and PF and everything they have done for rock music, and I agree with Roger waters politically on many things especially foreign policy and our (US) toxic battered wife syndrome relationship with Israel. But I also love Radiohead the band, Thom Yorke is himself a genius even if he is a lifestyle liberal with TDS, and Roger is an opinionated overly emotional asshole I think he’d admit it first. I’d really love to hear unbiased story of what was said to whom or how it was delivered. It would be really disappointing to see Thom say something like “Israel’s money is good here” as picky as they are with interviews and chowing to sit down with clowns like Stephen Colbert before showing up to their RockNroll HOF induction is really confusing.
Gilmour is a Radioheads fan.
Of course Roger would say something like this to Thom. 🙄
i recently just found out how much i despise roger waters
waters insults so many artists, only in this one single interview, that are, in my opinion, all better than him. Nick Cave sings, looks, writes and treats himself better than Waters, as well as Thom Yorke does. I mean, c'mon, what is he trying to do? As soon as he startet to talk and sing and write lyrics, all were ironic or full of hate about seemingly anything (society, time, life at all, Thatcher, dogs and pigs and walls and cuts and everything...). The artists he insults instead wrote songs about love and hope and joy. Only because he is old and grumpy and unable to feel or write about love and joy he shouldn't insult other artists. As if the people of a country are to blame for the actions of their government...
Even the interviewers are trying not to laugh.
It's a shame, because I'm a huge fan of the work of both Waters and Yorke. I honestly think it comes down to a different conception of what art should be (I think this explains the difference between Roger and David as well). For Roger, art is inherently political-the artist has a voice and as such should use it to make outward and tangible commentary and change. I came away from Roger's show the most politically invigorated I have from any concert I've ever attended. And it does make a difference; there were protesters for and against him outside, people handing out leaflets, the screens onstage held very clear, direct, and evidenced political messages. For Yorke (and Gilmour), art can be something far more inward. It can be beautiful for the sake of beauty, separate from the injustices of the world, escapism (but not always just that). Art can deal with the personal, the emotional, not necessarily the outward and political. I walked away from Yorke's show more profoundly emotionally impacted than I have from any other concert because of the sheer beauty of the music itself.
It's a very interesting debate and of course it's a subjective one, because how can we really definitively say what the purpose of art should be? Obviously it can be perceived both ways, and I definitely see the value in both perspectives.
Interesting, either way though the point is that Yorke and co have made political statements in albums such as Hail To The Thief which is a reference to George Bush,Tony Blair & the Iraq war. Yorke also has a band called 'Atoms for Peace!! So for him to claim that music shouldn't be political is a hit rich & a convenient erasure of their past output & stances, when the topic of 'politics' & their lack of support for Palestine becomes too difficult for them to justifiably defend. Apart from in the naff way of claiming you have 'Palestinian friends' and that Johnny's wife is Israeli so that makes it ok to cross the picket line. Like saying 'I'm not racist, I have black friends and my friend married a black woman'.
Nice job at self description rog
Thom yorke is an egomaniac. You can’t hide that sort of thing.
Let’s see, who was the one who left behind two band members because he cared about his band more than his friends, left the band and tried to actually take the name for himself, and played a concert in Israel floating pigs in the air plastered with the Star of David?
Reference please? #CitationsNeeded
Look it up
Thom Yorke doesn't agree with cultural boycotts. So the fact that he played in Israel doesn't entail that he agrees with Israeli policy. Does anyone really think that had radiohead refused to play for the Israeli fans, that somehow the Israeli government would loose its support from the U.S. to continue annexing territory and commit crimes against Palestinians? Waters was frustrated because he didn't agree with his tactic. It's ridiculous to call Yorke a "narcissistic prick" after hearing how self-absorbed The Wall is.
History showed us multiple times that cultural boycotts work!!!pricks!!
I don't get it, why is Roger describing himself?
i think it's impossible for york to do so, Johnny greenwood's wife is from Israel that would be weird to go in that politics
yeah....they're literally part of the israel's Jet Set ..lol
Roger doesn't realize that he described himself

gili agreed, but Rogers or any band members (not including Syd Barret) of pink Floyd did drugs.
Ever heard of the wall? lol
LOL.....you are clueless.....Roger doesn't do drugs....except cigarettes and alcohol.
You are talking about Syd Barrett.
To be fair, Roger Waters is easily the most talented musician in the history of ‘popular music’. But carry on.
Roger is a way way way way better musician than Thom. And that's coming from an Israeli that loves Radiohead. But Roger and Pink Floyd are just in a different league than everyone else.
Projection
Roger waters calling others self obsessed narcissistic picks is very rich
It’s ignoble the way roger waters clings to this conflict seemingly more to gather attention to himself. You risk doing more harm than good if you don’t have integrity. Just noise, a clanging gong
Bit like yourself I would say !!!!!!! Wars are never broken with hate ……… the first line
I wonder what Roger Waters thinks about Ye, the artist formally known as Kanye West.
People clapping and cheering, probably wax lyrical about Radiohead. Waters, for all his greatness, is a prick himself. He thought he was Pink Floyd.
His relationship with his mother reminds me of Eric Cartman
Maybe look in the mirror RW. Pink Floyd were/are great - but how the others managed to work with you all those years I’ll never know
Made no differences hahahaha
Great
Waters was a bitter, angry young man. Now he's become a bitter, jealous and even angrier old man. Maybe he should think about keeping his opinions to himself in the future, so he doesn't lose any more fans than he already has.
The irony of Roger leaning into the "Radiohead is pretentious" narrative is wild. Look in the
mirror lad! 😅
" that's it......I'm giving up the music business !......you've finally convinced me!....."
.
yes the situation is awful but Tel Aviv is very liberal for Israel and many people there don't want a wall......
Does it work ? yes.
Is it a solution? no.
as much of a narcissist as roger waters also is, he's not in the wrong here.
The title of the video should be "Roger Waters engages in projection for 90 seconds."
Nobody seems more self obsessed then Walters
I wonder if he likes his music though
While Radiohead are good and my era I have to concede Pink Floyd musically and artistically are miles better, it wouldn't surprise me that Thom's ego is over inflated
Pink Floyd musically and artistically are not better lol Radiohead is way superior
never has a statement been so wrong.

@@josephk2496 radiohead is dull as dishwater. Dumbed down beep boop music with no guitar solos
Roger Waters is objectively correct on this issue
Well, I don't know if this is sarcasm but if the main issue was he wanted to have a conversation with Thom but he says he refused, he can't then also say they had a long email exchange. That means they did have a conversation, and at the end of it Thom disagreed with him, which is of course his right. I disagree with Thom on this issue but if we had a civil discourse on the matter I would respect his point of view. I think what Waters really wanted was not just discourse. He wanted Thom to agree with him. When he didn't, he calls him a prick in a public forum. I think regardless of the issue they are discussing, this is the real sign of egotistical behavior: that a person you argued with didn't concede and agree with you. And rather than accepting that he didn't just dismiss you, but that he engaged in good-faith and tried to be civil, you simply trash him for not accepting that you are "objectively" right. That's an incredibly lame position to take and makes his bashing of Thom really hypocritical.
The problems in Israel/Palestina is the main issue. But on a sidenote i think Roger Waters is the prick for insulting a fellow artist like that. Is that the way you think we should communicate to bring peace to the world Roger Waters?
You know what I like about Roger Waters ? Nothing 😂. David Gilmour is Pink Floyd .
Waters has discovered the clout-chasing a bit late. But it's cute, I sure can't wait for this man, who could've been (just) part of history in a great way, to also being a geriatric snobby version of a prank vlogger.

Roger Waters’ Lack of Self-Awareness Tour continues into its 6th decade
god bless him
Music and ....surpression are indeed 2 different things. Yet, often music in 't's art can be used to go for a better world. I that capacity, my sympathy goes to Roger!. If it comes to music, hardly anyone ( and from Buddy Holly to Scott Walker I know), has any idea who the bloody hell Radiohead is. They listened to many time to Scott Walker, without hearing him!
Maybe the Israeli fans should do something about their governments genocide against the Palestinian people, if they want to be able to watch their favorite artists in concert.
@@Chr1551 the hell are they gonna do against a government backed by the US?
Roger is a horrible bastard. And this seals it.
Roger displaying his anti semitism again
Roger waters is the narcissist.
i hate this guy. i’ve never heard anything positive come out of his mouth. the first thing ive ever heard about him was when he said that drake and the weeknd should be irrelevant compared to him. then i learned about all his beef with pink floyd and now he’s hating on a completely innocent frontman for one of the best bands of all time for supposedly having qualities that roger has himself. one of the most annoying people in the history of the music industry
