North American syndicated Rock radio program and website InTheStudio:
The Stories Behind History's Greatest Rock Bands revisits the second
highest-selling album in history, Pink Floyd's The Wall on its 35th
anniversary.
By the late Seventies, Pink Floyd had all the commercial success a
band could imagine, but not without battle wounds. The relationships
between composer/ bassist Roger Waters and the other band members, as
well as between Waters and the audience, had been strained and
distorted by the time of The Wall. The only thing left was the music.
In a two-part, two week special InTheStudio radio program, host
Redbeard speaks with The Wall architect Roger Waters, singer/guitarist
David Gilmour, and percussionist Nick Mason about building one of
Rock'n'Roll's crowning recording, live production, and cinematic
achievements.
Based on a music superstar's plunge into the dark side of success
which eventually results in "absolute isolation, both emotionally and
physically, from the audience he or she purports to attract", Roger
Waters sadly recounts the autobiographical nature of The Wall and the
defining moment he remembers it coming to life.
" During a show in Montreal I finally got so angry that I spat at
this child, he was 14 or 15 I suppose. When I got off stage afterwards
I thought, ' What have I been reduced to? And what has happened to the
relationship between the band and the audience?' So, The Wall was
something that I had experienced very powerfully through most of that
(Animals) tour, but specifically on that day." - Roger Waters
InTheStudio can be heard on over 40 radio stations across North
America. PINK FLOYD The Wall / InTheStudio programs air
