David Gilmour shared a message via has.
In the documentary film in question, BBC journalist John Ware conducts an interview with Norbert Statchel, Waters’ former saxophonist. Bob Ezrin, co-producer of the Pink Floyd opus “The Wall”, also has his say.
Both men are Jewish and remember experiences in which Roger Waters is said to have made anti-Semitic comments – which he denies.
Statchel recalls an incident in which Rogers imitated a stereotypical country woman from Poland to reference his own Jewish ancestors. Another time, the controversial 80-year-old was outraged by a restaurant that allegedly served “Jewish food.”
Erzin, in turn, explains that Waters called Pink Floyd’s then manager Bryan Morrison a “fucking Jew.” The film documentary also uses an email from 2010. Here Waters is considering using supposedly “Jewish optics” and slurs as part of his elaborate stage production for his upcoming show program.
As is well known, a voluminous inflatable pig with anti-capitalism symbols floated through the arenas around the world. One signet showed a large blue Star of David. At his concert in the Berlin Arena at Ostbahnhof, however, he showed logos of international defense companies such as US air force giant Lockheed Martin, as well as those from Israel.
Ex-Floyd guitarist Gilmour didn’t comment further on his digital “forwarding”, but the simple distribution to his many fans is considered a statement enough. Especially since it is known far and wide what Gilmour thinks of his ex-comrade-in-arms from the psychedelic era in London’s oil disc and strobo clubs like the “Roundhouse” in the Camden district.
In February 2023, Mrs Gilmour described Polly Samson, Roger Waters as “thoroughly anti-Semitic”. He is still a “Putin apologist and a lying, thieving, hypocritical, tax evading, misogynistic, megalomaniacal, brain-sick, jealous sheep!” Well shouted, Ms. Samson. The fiercest verbal cannon so far in the years-long prog rock feud.
Gilmour shares his wife’s temper tantrum. Samson’s furor would be “demonstrably true,” he noted plainly at the time.
As previously reported, Waters calls the documentary a “flimsy piece of propaganda that randomly mixes things I supposedly said or did at different times and in different contexts to portray myself as an anti-Semite.” Without any basis.”
We are hardly entering the realm of wild speculation here when the prophecy goes out into the world from this point that this renewed friction was not the last on the dark side of the moon (and the earth)…
