The story of the father, who died in World War II, was told (“Us and Them”). The Falkland War Great Britain against Argentina in 1982 has now inspired Roger Waters with his last record with Pink Floyd, “The Final Cut”
“What have We Done, Maggie, What Have We Done? What Have We Done to England?” (from “The Post War Dream”) was the brave attempt to communicate with the Prime Minister at eye level. “The Final Cut” reached 1st place in the UK. And still remained unloved.
Roger Waters’ egomania destroyed Pink Floyd
The removal of the keyboardist Richard Wright (after “The Wall”) echoed. David Gilmour and Nick Mason were degraded into quasist studio musicians. Waters’ egomania finally destroyed pink floyd. Irony of fate: After his farewell, he was taken into clasp liability. “The Final Cut” was the end of the end.
Quite a few desperate fans blame waters for the band’s yogam music phase. In truth, it took place without him.
The song “The Gunner’s Dream”, which the former Pink Floyd singer and bassist Roger Waters reinterpreted, was also included in “The Final Cut”. The 77-year-old shared the cover version including a black and white music video on YouTube in 2021. “Yesterday evening I saw the documentary ‘The Man Who Saved the World’ from 2013,” he writes. The film is about the lieutenant colonel of the Soviet air defense forces Stanislaw Petrov.
In 1983 Soviet satellites triggered a false alarm. Which was initially interpreted as a nuclear attack from the USA. Because Petrov recognized the false alarm, an escalation and thus a possible nuclear war could be prevented. “In the year before Stanislav saved the world, I wrote a song with the title ‘The Gunner’s Dream’ in 1982,” said Waters.
“It is strange to imagine that none of us would be alive if Stanislav hadn’t been in the right place at the right time. Nobody under 37 would have been born at all.” In the same way, he clearly spoke out against the possession of nuclear weapons.
The most underestimated albums of all time
Often it is not the canonized classics that are particularly popular.
Instead, there are albums in the catalog of a fond of an artist who seems to be available for yourself. Because the rest of the world spurned or even forgotten it. Misunderstood stroke of genius, known masterpieces, neglected key works and plates that are simply much better than their reputation. And earn a re -evaluation.
