Roger Waters - Blog Posts

seeing a pretty butch lesbian in fuzzy noise grain but i look closer and see its just that roger waters and his fucked up face

David haters need to stop pretending they hate him because of his Zionist views. Roger has horrible opinions about Putin and Ukraine and yall still wanna suck his dick. Just admit you hate David because of his appearance (seriously, I've been seeing so many body-shaming confessions and it's not okay).

“All of the pushing away of people that went on in my young life and all the aggression and all the spikiness and difficulty all came from the fact that I was absolutely terrified every waking moment of being found out … of people discovering that I wasn’t who I wanted to be.”

— Roger Waters (via)

all of the roles roger waters gave to david gilmour were so funny. "hey can you be a shitty boss" "hey can you be a disembodied voice singing about sex" "hey can you be my mother"

dedicated to those who tried to write to me that Roger Waters doesn't support the invasion of Ukraine

official interview

bro really said "well i changed my mind because i saw A PODCAST where person who speak russian read putin's text"

if you don’t know, the russians have a large-scale propaganda that they have been building for ten years, where they say that the head of the Ukrainian government is nazis and russians are trying to save everyone from this government through war.

and he really just listened to enough propaganda and considers himself smarter than everyone else.

"Ukraine is a red line. It must remain a neutral buffer state."

oh yeah and this thing. i hope i don't need to explain to you why this is wrong.

literally said that he is defending putin lmao. no comments.

well, it's not all, you can read it yourself bc there are things worse than this, but you can consider this post as a trailer to the whole big problem.

i literally don't want to take a screenshot every time because every answer he gives is just wild. you need to see it.

well, i do not consider myself a rogerologist, but i know awful lot about this topic huh

so, for starters, what you said about his father and how it affects his social behavior is incredibly true, but we can dig much deeper. roger has spent his entire life, essentially, since the late 60s, pretending not to be who he really is. what i'm talking about is the fact that he says about himself that he is sensitive and he is hurt by some of the actions of his bandmates, but on the other hand, he immediately tries to seem cool and behaves as if he does not care about other people's feelings and what they say to him. psychologically speaking, this is a defensive reaction for people like roger. so you understand, he is a man in the 70s and he needs to show himself as a man, but he never had an example of how a father or husband should behave? and it seems wrong to him that he is sensual, so at one moment he accepts it, and at another he sharply denies it. very roger thing to do haha.

and do you know how i realized that everything was incredibly bad with his fake mask? i read some excerpts from the book "In the Pink". that's really funny because this book is not so important from the perspective of some stories, as from the perspective of how roger's friends perceived him and what exactly nicholas writes about him. this is crazy. because in front of nicholas, roger acts like he doesn't care about anyone. he acts as if he doesn’t care about the opinions of his friends, as if his wife is his burden and she’s pulling him down and as if everyone around him is an asshole and he’s the only genius on planet earth. but he's not like that. and that's what he tried to say in "the final cut". he was so lost that he created the whole different personality for him and the funniest part he HATES this personality, but he believes that this is the only true way (still the god syndrome is also there, just in other moments).

and now can you imagine those hellish roller coaster his wives had to go through? this is the guy who was SCARED of any intimacy with a woman in the 60s and could not imagine it (he said in some interview), but tried to deal w it AND tried to remain a badass in the eyes of others. diabolical.

oh yeah yeah so we can go to the part why he is so scared of women. first, he studied at a school for boys, in their psychology, when they grow up in a society without women, women appear to them as some kind of alien creature. and school, after all, is a place where hormones and sexual desire begin to play out, and from this follows the need for something more familiar (i won’t talk about his homosexual dilemma here, but this is also a rather interesting topic of discussion). the only woman in his life is his mother and as far as i know, mary waters was made of steel. she literally held him and his brother by the scruff of the neck and was incredibly serious about justice. she was the head of the family. THIS is why roger NEEDS to be bossed around, because his mom always did that and in his eyes it was a woman's job to rule him and the family.

do you see now where empty spaces came from? roger in his teenage years was not only afraid of intimacy with a woman, but he thought that this implied complete submission, since women were scarier and emotionally stronger than him. that's why at the end of the clip she eats him. because he thinks he's weak. for him, women are predators and because it was ingrained in his head, he could never get rid of this thought. therefore, he has two moods: either he is an obedient husband, or he is frightened by the pressure from his wife and begins to rush and growl, swear and yell at her like a wounded animal. and of course his mask of a tough guy who disrespects women in front of his friends.

I put in my head that you're the main roger waters scholar so I always feel like I should come here with hypothesis to get your opinion. I read a comment somewhere saying that roger acts different if the interviewer is male or female. And since then I've been noticing that it actually seems true. He's usually much mellower with women and his usually acerbic humor is sillier. Have you ever notice a difference or have any thoughts on that?

Yes, I've noticed that difference too and found it interesting ("what do you mean interesting?"). I've heard him mention in interviews before that part of his therapy in the 80's was addressing his fear of women, which stuck out to me, because he usually seems so much more comfortable around them (although maybe it really is more of a recent development). What I think is happening here is that Roger's social anxiety displays itself in a different way around men vs. women. Going right to the roots of it, clearly he feels sensitive about the fact that he didn't grow up with a father figure, and I think he's internalized that in a way that makes him feel very defensive around other men. He feels the need to show dominance to make up for feeling like he doesn't know how to act, and it displays as him being, well, Roger. On the other hand, if "Mother" is any indication, he's a lot more used to acquiescing to women. He isn't as threatened when they tell him what to do, and he doesn't see their interactions as something he has to win. Snide remarks have been about him being overly influenced by his wives, which is informative if a bit biased. Obviously, neither his "fight" response with men or his "fawn" response with women is healthy, but it's probably why he lets his guard down more when women interview him.

Listen Kraftwerk please

this trend "love when beautiful girls have a little gay boyfriend" but it's just fem rog and syd

yeah um. sorry.

more things

POV : you said you hate concept albums

me when this is a terrible war in my country and some russian Pink Floyd fan who writes comments like “roger waters is cool because he supports russia, because it is fighting against the nazis,” and then writes “sorry, my dad took the phone” or "i don't want to support any side in this war" and then it’s just the author of the video who laughs with her and likes her comments, while just a few days ago i closed the window because there was a very strong smell of burning due to russian rocket.

but yeah she doesn't even know how air raid alaram sounds and she's not bothered about things like that.

and i'm sorry, i'm really trying to find the strength to make fun Pink Floyd content, but sometimes it's just wtf

Your mind ,,, she would!! rogita would rock the whole y2k big furry coats jeans and dresses look but also because roger loves the same black tshirt and black trousers i feel like she would be goth adjacent or proto 60s/70s goth esc looks

sorry for slow response

but yess i think she would rock any types of fashion trend, specially goth.

ive thought ab drawing her w some of siouxsie's iconic outfits too (like the black leather jacket she wore on the mag ((i didnt rmb which one..??)) would suits rogita around her 1980 phase)

btw i have some doodles below, maybe ill try to draw her w goth looks later 🫠🫠 (the polka dot one was inspired by strawberry switchblade 🫣)

2/5, Pink Floyd, linocut

she def has christina piercing

GAY PROM ALERT ‼️ still a wip but i already liked it sm :3

Gerald Scarfe sketch of Roger's typical posture.

hi everyone

alternate version:

and actually "jade" is also a kind of stone. yeah yeah the same jade from the "incarceration of a flower child"

did anyone else have a moment like this the first time you listened to dark globe

roger would def nail the office siren trend

sometimes i get sad because i can never get roger pregnant

happened to my buddy once

all thanks to @mrooops it's their idea

I mean, it's not just the posts. David Gilmour and Polly Samson signed the letter thanking Biden. I saw his and Polly's liked tweets being pro-Israel.

I agree with you about Roger Waters, he should've never been pro-Russia in the first place

thank you for your answer, i really do appreciate any new info about that

so even if gilmour is a total dick also, i still kinda hate the comparison "waters is better than him", because they both support the wrong sides, so they're both assholes, there is no need to write that someone is worse or better. for me, if you do stuff like that, you are simply disparaging the situation in another country

ok guys, no jokes, but what the fuck?

i want to touch a really really serious topic in pink floyd fandom rn and i want you all to listen to me at least once. i would really appreciate it if you spread this information. thank you

if you're the type of person who writes "well, waters is still better than gilmour", then just please unfollow me forever the fuck out

but it's ok i'll explain you why

well, a little backstory

while many believe that roger's political views are now quite correct, i want to remind you that he supports an aggressive invasion of the country where i live (Ukraine). if you are still interested, then yes, the war in Ukraine is still going on even if in the west now no one wants to pay attention to it anymore. for your understanding, on average we have 100 air raids in the city per month, at least once a week i definitely hear explosions and, yeah, i don’t live in a hot spot. and this guy just goes out and does an interview where he openly says that he supports the aggressor country. yeah, that's right, he was also allowed to speak at the UN council, where he said that the conflict was provoked. very smart. the same guy who said a couple of days before the war that those who believe that it will start are “out of their minds”

ok ok, but how does this relate to gilmour?

very simple. his daughter-in-law is Ukrainian. and her mother lived in a city that was one of the first to be attacked by the russian army. if you have never seen footage from Kharkiv in the first days of the war, then believe me, it was a terrible sight, people tried to help each other as best they could

and it is still going on

i don’t think it's cool to talk shit about one person who supports israel but then turn a blind eye to how another openly says that Taiwan should belong to china and Ukraine to russia and say "well, he is based", "he's better than gilmour"

if you have any other information about gilmour, you can share it with me.

i know you all really like young waters and i see a lot of positive things in him too, but i really can't stand the fact that now people only really look at how he feels about Palestine, even if i see a lot of articles and posts from adults, who say his support for Palestine is also twofold. don't wanna say anything bad about that because i haven’t studied this topic, but i think you can google them yourself, they always just come up

don't get me wrong, i'm not stopping you from sending pictures of him or drawing him, i'm just asking you not to write that he's better than someone else at something when he's not

oh yeah and one last thing...

if you are a supporter of communism, then get the fuck out too, because communism led to the fact that in the 60s in my country they killed almost all the poets who did not write something in support of the state. in history they were persecuted and killed because they wrote in their native language and mentioned Ukrainian culture. communism led to three great famines in our country, when people had so little to eat that they resorted to cannibalism. it's very scary, but it's true. this is what the government has led to when it wants to bring communism to life

communism is not a cool thing. it's cool in words, not on practice, read history

thank you for your attention

im having a bit of burnout rn
