Roger Waters or David Gilmour

Gilmour, no doubt.

wow...this really comes as a surprise to me...i've seen some footage of gilmour and was mildly impressed...i saw waters live two years ago and was blown away...he did all of 'dark side' which was stellar...and preceeded by a mix of the best of the best floyd tunes...all sounding as beautiful as the albums...

did you guys have bad experiences at roger's shows?
or just favor gilmour?
and for what reason?
just curious...

Sammy O - Someone around here said they saw the show in Virginia...If that's the show you're talking about then I totally agree. I've never been to a better concert than that...the crowd was absolutely wild...the crowd cheered louder than any outdoor concert I've ever heard.

Roger said "that's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen" before the encore...it seemed like everyone brought a lighter that night because it looked like the stars in the sky

I can't imagine David being any better...besides, How you gonna top DSOTM in it's entirety???

Waters for sure.

Honestly, IMO this debate is purely based on personal preference, you are either a fan of:


Waters: A (for the most part) "same everynight of the tour" kinda guy, but musically still is amazing and puts down one of the best live shows you could ever see.

Gilmour: A show known more for its improvisation, rarities (not necessarily the "hits"), and solo material. And for goddsake, its David Gilmour, he's amazing.


Me personally, I'm going with Roger, I've never seen Gilmour, but Roger puts on a amazing show, and I thinks its the best we're gonna ever get to Pink Floyd. Word. ;D

David

Roger waters + DSOTM latenight.... i don't think there is anything that could top that for me



besides pink floyd of course

I was at that same show, amazing night of music.

I want to see Gilmour now that I've seen Waters.

fuck roger waters, overrated douche. GILMOUR IS GOD

rofl

My cousin and I, who were about the same age, used to argue about this all of the time. He for Gilmour, I for Waters.

He died tragically at 20 years old about 16 years ago. He would be happy to know that the debate rages on and that Gilmour is in the lead.

Kinda makes me wanna do a shot and shotgun a cheap beer. I'm not gonna vote in honor of the debate

Nothing either has done seperately comes close to what they achieved together.

Wow.

I've never seen either live, but in my mind Pink Floyd was done when Roger left. I think any old guitar hack can play Pink Floyd licks while there's only one man who can write Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall etc.

Are there people who have heard "Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking" that don't think its amazing? Some of Roger's solo work ranges from "not very accesible" to "cheesy" (I love it all but Radio KAOS certainly has its flaws and Amused to Death is an acquired taste), but "Pros and Cons"? With Clapton? Gilmour has done anything on his own that compares to this? In my mind it stands up to all but the very best of the Pink Floyd catalog. For my money Roger Waters is a legend among legends and one of the greatest songwriters in rock and Gilmour is a decent guitar player who I lost some respect for when he went around playing Roger's songs as Pink Floyd against Roger's wishes.

That said, Gilmour's shows may well be better. I've never seen either (just a Roger Waters DVD where I didn't miss Gilmour or the rest of Floyd at all).

I can't really seperate myself from either. I genuinely think Roger has something wrong with him mentally that caused pink floyd's break up problems. I did ejoy On An Island alot though.
