Amusing as that is, I think if anyones got to get labelled as a self-obsessed bore then it must be Waters. Final Cut is the most depressingly self indulgent album ever made (I do kind of like it for this reason, comedy factor mainly). I find Roger Water's arrogance quite astounding, this is a man who - at The Madcap's Last Laugh, a special Syd tribute show at the Barbican following his death, where various musicians played Syd's greatest tracks - played one of his own songs. I thought that was a really awful thing to do.
Now Gilmour, though he might make boring as fuck music, I can't fault his character, he seems like a very down to earth standup bloke actually. The great irony is, Waters thinks himself as a great left-wing socialist, however it was GILMOUR who sold his house in London for several million pounds and gave all the profits to homeless charities.
