sorry, i just don't see how Waters touring The Wall is anything other than the glorification of his own ego and legacy.
If Roger Waters legacy needs glorification I'm willing to glorify it, the man is living legend of composition and music writing in my book and a lot people's. And I only wish he'd do a similar tour for Animals.
. look at him jumping about while Gilmour solos on that video you linked — is this supposed to be something i should pay money to see?
What living potato fuck does that even mean? It just sounds bitter. There's a shit load of performers who do silly moves and jump around on stage. And I wanna see this particular one do it. It's an expression and this show is his own world.
how about i just take you to the '80s when they did this show nearly the same way, except it was entirely new then and not a rehash of the same thing one man can't let go of because it was about himself, his dad and his generation
Yeah how about you take me back to the 80's to see? Not possible? Why did you have to offer and get my hopes up?
Cause time travel is not possible yet and I was A CHILD in the 80's so I didn't get your sweet chance at it, so I really wanna see it performed by it's creator and this is the only possible way I can do it! Dang.
What you call rehashment is to most period PF fans reminiscent and for my generation a chance to have a glimpse into the past and their world, among so much other things explained in my previous post.
but now featuring the graphics technology already used to better effect by Nine Inch Nails in 2008.
That's pretty amazing, never seen that. Had to mute the video to watch but it's really impressive. And now I have the chance to see something of the same technology to good music. But this is not "to a better effect" imo, we just disagree there.
to be stuffed at the back of a gigantic room with a million people in front of me while i watch HD projections on a giant wall and pretend that this is still unique and relevant breathtaking like it probably was in 1980?
1. The venues are not that stuffed, it's also all seating and somewhat classy.
2. You forgot to mention that there will be music played..
3. Again; the 80's are a no go for me until Doc. calls me up to the Twin Pines Mall parking lot for an experiment.
i realize lots of people figure they're getting something worthwhile out of it, and you're probably one of them, and i'm hardly going to try to deny it from you. however, i do think it's worth presenting the other side, as it's just as valid for some of us... or just me!
You're of course entitled to your opinion and excuse me for replying with the same tone your post had, I'm fixing it towards the end of the post just like you did too
I'd say you're in the minority about your opinion but it is valid for Nick apparently so here you go
