First glimpse of Roger’s Dark Side re-working

What's Hot

in Off Topic
Time and Money have been released on a single, available on a streaming service of your choice. 

Very odd stuff with vocals in the style of Lee Marvin crossed with William Shatner. A sprinkling of War Of The Worlds too perhaps. 

I like it, shouldn’t work at all but somehow it just does and does it well.

    I'll be playing them in the background today to see if they stick. Very interesting.

    I found that exceptionally dreary. Not for me.

    Well of course it’s dreary. That’s Roger’s M.O. ;)

    Wish there were versions of both without the daft vocals.

    I've listened to both a couple of times and he just seems to have sucked the life out them.
    I'll get a round to buying a 'real' guitar one day.

    Money kind of sounds like John Lewis asked Nick Cave and Tom Waits to do a Christmas ad soundtrack.

    Shouldn't this be in Music rather than Off Topic...

    Oh, hang on.

    If I'd done those, I'd have been very pleased with myself. Though I think the vocals need to be a bit more sung/melodic.
    Nice cover versions Roger.

    +1 - I just don't even get why you would want to re-work such iconic tracks.

    Because you’re the most self centred, narcissistic man on the face of the earth and you’re desperately clinging to a very long past relevance? 

    The irony is not lost on me that I’m as far from a Waters fan as possible and I’m also in a very small minority that rather likes what he’s produced

    Have to say, I do like his reworking of comfortably numb that he put out last year. It was used as the intro to his live gigs. Very dark!

    I think he's proving the opposite of what he wants to prove to be honest, that the involvement of Gilmour is overstated

    Would be okay background music without the vocals in, or on a soundtrack where they want a different version of something

    I don't think I'll get anything from it through foreground listening that I haven't already had from the original

    He's literally doing this do piss David off.

    And in doing so, proving to all that most listen to PF for DG's soaring brilliance, not Roger's interminable narcissism.

    *An Official Foo-Approved guitarist since Sept 2023.

    I had a listen.

    Doesn't sound any better or worse than the original TBH.

    Isn't that the final cut? Awful album.

    Another thread on this! I feel the need to post the same pic again ...



    Seriously sh*te, boring music. It only gets any attention because of his history. If this was new music by a new artist it would be considered dirgesome garbage and tossed aside (in my opinion).

    Proof if ever needed that Pink Floyd's brilliance was due to the sum of its parts. Roger is nowhere near as important as he thinks he is.

    I think he's out of time!

    I'm a Floyd fan and Time is my favourite Floyd track ... FFS that almost undoes it's very essence and meaning.

    Thankfully, he doesn't have the rights to the name and can't pass this shit off as 'Pink Floyd.'

    Small mercies.

    He's expunging all the Gilmour stuff, original demo format of money and taking the iconic solos out of comfortably numb, basically re-writing history but then thats Rogers thing
