SNIP

The 78-year-old music legend offered his commentary after The Weeknd’s Toronto concert received more media coverage than his.

SNIP

“And, by the way, with all due respect to The Weeknd or Drake or any of them. I am far, far, far more important than any of them will ever be, however many billions of streams they’ve got. There is stuff going on here that is fundamentally important to all of our lives,” he said.

SNIP

“I love Roger Waters, and Pink Floyd is one of my all time favorite bands, but this seems like an ‘old man yells at cloud’ moment,” one Twitter user wrote, while another said, “i love roger waters and i think he’s done some amazing things , but that was like 50 years ago. take a step down.”

None of them have any importance whatsoever.

Weekend is a Satan worshipper.

Only a fool listens to him and his Satanic trash “music.”

Need some evidence?

Check out all the Satanic imagery here:

I have no idea who Drake is but I sure as hell know who Pink Floyd is.

I’d have to say he’s right.

Roger Waters is a neo-nazil communist.

He’s not wrong. Let’s see drake or weekend have an album on the charts for 5 years.

His music is awful. It gives me a headache. He is a hateful idiot, who wrote a Nazi musical.

Well, they do, but they are all just pieces of the puzzle - like all of us. We're all very important, but none of us make the world turn. I'm a huge proponent of and believer in the sanctity of individuals. Individuals push the world forward, and the uniqueness of individuals is what propels us - not groupthink.

That said, we all have to have the humility to know that as individuals none of us are even remotely capable of defining the whole of what humanity can be. Take care of those who depend on you, and make the biggest contribution you can as an individual. No one else can do what you can do.

Think about this: The founder of this band, the only one with a shred of talent, went completely insane from having to spend time with this jerk. And his quality of life improved vastly.

Waters has always been a self-absorbed a-hole. Floyd was always more about the music than about Waters’ preachy lyrics.

I think Syd spent too much time with LSD.

I’m a lifelong rocker with oodles of exp in many different musical genres. You never meant squat to me, Roger.

If you had to sit in a room with Roger Waters, you’d need to take it to.
