In a new interview with “The Joe Rogan Experience,” Roger Waters revealed that he’s not a fan of “loud” rock ‘n’ roll. The musician also took shots at some of rock’s biggest legends, including Eddie Van Halen and AC/DC.
“[I’m] 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,” the former PINK FLOYD bassist said. “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 added that he’s “not very up on rock history,” adding, “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.”
In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, former PINK FLOYD bassist claims to be named “on a kill list supported by the Ukraine government.”
When asked about the reported atrocities by the Russian army in Ukraine, he responded: “You’ve seen [those reports] on what I’ve just described to you as Western propaganda. It’s exactly the obverse of saying Russian propaganda; Russians interfered with our election; Russians did that. It’s all lies, lies, lies, lies.”
“I’m on the f**king list and they’ve killed people recently,” Waters continued. “There was that young Dugina woman in Paris who I think they were trying to bomb her father. No, in Moscow. They were trying to bomb her father-in-law [her father] and they killed her. But when they kill you, they write liquidated across your picture. Well, I’m one of those f**king pictures.”
