Roger Waters stated he is obtained little curiosity in “loud rock ‘n’ roll” akin to AC/DC or Van Halen.
The Pink Floyd co-founder not too long ago appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience for a virtually three-hour chat. Waters stated he made substantial progress on writing a ebook in the course of the pandemic, “leaving all the Pink Floyd stuff till last, for obvious reasons — hard things to write about.”
Rogan recommended that Pink Floyd’s breakup was the most important in rock historical past, to which Waters responded: “Maybe. I’m not very up on rock history, because I’m not very interested in most popular music. I mean, there are certain people that I’m great fans of: mainly the writers, the singer-songwriters, you know. So, [Bob] Dylan and Neil Young. But I won’t start a long list, because I probably could, but it’s that end of the spectrum that I’m more interested in.”
The singer added that he is “not really interested in loud rock ‘n’ roll — which some people are and they love it, but I couldn’t care less about AC/DC or Eddie Van Halen or any of that stuff. It’s just, who? I don’t go, ‘Who?’ because obviously I know the name. And I’m sure Eddie’s brilliant and a great guitar player and wonderful. It just doesn’t interest me.”
Waters is nearing the top of the 2022 North American leg of his This Is Not a Drill Tour, which can resume in May 2023 in Europe. “These are the best shows I’ve ever done, by far,” he informed Rogan. I’ve made an actual breakthrough, and that is the primary time I’ve ever type of managed to speak with an viewers in a manner that’s satisfying.”
“I’ve opened my coronary heart. I’m susceptible,” Waters continued. “And but, as a result of I’ve finished that, they’re responding, and in consequence I’ve grow to be bolder. You know, the extra you danger, the extra you doubtlessly lose, but in addition the extra you doubtlessly achieve.”
