Brilliant man, love his music.

He’s always been EXTREME anti-authoritarian, anti-war, anti-establishment. Consistent, at least, in his positions. I don’t always agree, but I respect.

And without full context or quotes, I will not rush to judgement — an extreme man who takes extreme positions, meant to challenge.

And no matter what they tell you, it’s possible to be against the actions of the Israeli state without being antisemitic.

This.

Waters is very political. Been to one of his shows (loved it), and he doesn’t hold back. I didn’t agree with everything he said, but he is who he is.

This article fails to mention any actual examples of Waters comments. This reads like an intern had to finish an article before the deadline and only had time to collect out-of-context anecdotes.

Very disappointing for The Guardian.

A teenage intern watched this and decided it was real

That says more about BMG than it does about Roger Waters.

Oh look, more censorship from zionists.

[–] Gazumi@lemmy.world 27 points 9 months ago

Based upon this article, I don't know anything other than the leading writing. What did he actually say, where, and would we disagree? A quick internet search finds mainly opinion.

Hopefully he's commenting on how Israel is commiting genocide on the people of Palestine.

Man, it's so disappointing that the last couple of years really have made me outright hate him. Really love your music bro, but you're a huge piece of shit.

But King George killed his daddy. And it has made him very upset.

I have no idea what Easter Island head means.

That is an actual photo of Rog "the stone" Waters

Broken clocks. Dude is nuts and dogwhistles to conservatives constantly.

[–] LowtierComputer@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Can you post an example?
