Roger Waters is arguably one of the greatest musical minds to ever whistle a tune, as his work in psychedelic rock and with the art of concept albums has led to the creation of some of the most spellbinding albums ever made.
To this day, people still call records like Wish You Were Here and The Wall some of the greatest LPs ever put together. It’s safe to say that if anyone has earned the right to be overly critical about music, it’s Roger Waters… and he seems to be well aware of that. Let’s just say, he’s not a musician who holds back when it comes to his opinions.
Whether it’s a modern musician, a pioneering artist, or someone with whom he once was in a band, the artistic world is flooded with people whom Roger Waters seems to absolutely detest. He doesn’t hold back when it comes to laying his thoughts on the line, as every other interview he does is littered with the names of those unfortunate few.
It makes for some controversial and some pretty brutal reading in all honesty. So, shall we?
