Fans Boo Roger Waters Over Anti-Trump Display at New Orleans Concert

Breitbart: Pink Floyd fans booed Roger Waters at a concert in New Orleans over the weekend after the rocker displayed several profane images meant to degrade President Donald Trump on the giant screens behind him.

While Waters performed “Pigs (Three Different Ones),” several images were displayed for fans to see, according to the New Orleans Advocate. Concertgoers were shown images of Trump as a baby, another of the president being held by Russian President Vladimir Putin, one of Trump wearing a KKK hood, and another image of a naked Trump with a small penis. The images ended with the words “Trump is a pig” on the screens, as a giant pig floated over the audience.

Fans booed the politically-charged performance, while several others may have walked out on the show, the Advocate reported.  MORE

  1. You know, just this morning I was thinking how I never used to choose my friends or entertainers based on politics, but now I retry much do. And this prick is a glaring example of the reason why.

  2. Waters crossed the line decades ago when he let his Antisemitism get the better of him.

    I could go on and on deconstructing Waters and how he fits in with Pink Floyd but the simple analogy of how CNN used to the top cable news… Waters is the CNN of the music industry; Waters if a fake “artist”. 4 out of 5 Pink Floyd members (that would include the actual founder Syd aka “Crazy Diamond” Barrett), when they were alive, choose not to work with him (expect for 1 benefit gig and after it nothing- what does it say about you when your then best mates can’t stand to be around you). …

    Pink Floyd was so innovative. Waters has been doing the same shtick for 30+ plus years. So much for him being the soul creative force behind anything.

  3. Never was a fan of Pink Floyd and consider them to be a highly overrated band. Although Dark Side Of The Moon is a mixing/production masterpiece their music is plodding and boring and their guitar players are no better than average.

  4. I went to a Serj Tankian concert about 12 years ago. Between songs the guy would rag on President Bush. I was in the third row and was yelling “F— you. Go back to your shithole country if you hate our leader.” I got enough other folks to chime in so that he finally shut up and sang his songs. Pretty fun time.

  5. Whaddya expect from a Nazi anti-Semite?

    Waters is lucky the crowd just booed. In a just world he would have been pelted from the audience with anything that wasn’t nailed down.

  6. As the sun sets on the British empire, an English rocker insults our President? That’s pretty much like sitting in your burning house writing a letter to the city council about how your neighbor’s lawn has crabgrass.

    You are on a nostalgia tour, Roger – shut up and sing your songs.

  7. Pink Floyd was my first awakening that the whole “message” part of rock’n roll was so much unexpurgated horseshit

    Money, it’s hit
    Dont give me that do
    Good goody bullshit

    Oh hey Roger, thanks for expanding my mind and showing me how the f#cking world really works … Ma-a-a-a-a-a-a-an

  8. I was a big fan back in the late sixties and early seventies. Saw them about three times. But lets face it, a base player isn’t why we want to see a band. Especially an asshole base player.

  9. Waters entire career has been built around the death of his father in WW2.

    How would Dad feel seeing his now elderly son as a fan of the Nazis who killed him.

    Rogers blames the crown for sending his father to war more than those that killed him. He’s a sick in the head megalomaniac.

    Don’t let anyone touch his money though. He’ll sue you for 30 years and try to take your rings off while you lie in the casket.

  10. Went to see The Who (my favorite band of all time) in the Cali desert last fall. Roger Waters played after The Who and I figured I’d stick around since I’d never seen Pink Floyd. This was in the run up to the election and the anti-Trump message was overbearing. During the ‘Pigs’ song, in huge letters on the massive video board behind the stage were the words ‘F*** Trump’. Except it wasn’t censored. Gathered up my wife and said ‘we’re out of here’. On the way out ‘The Wall’ was playing…’we don’t need no thought control’. Little bit ironic, don’t you think?

  11. Hey, arseholes, I detest this shithead as much as any of you, but being an Englishman I get sick to the back teeth of people bringing his nationality into it, and all the associated stereotypical bullshit insults that follow. This moron would sneer at a proud Englishman as much as he sneers at Trump, so why trot out the same old crap concerning my nation? A nation which, by the way, (and as much as it sticks in your craw)founded yours. Try looking back a bit further than 1776. Just remember that you have enough anti-Trump snowflakes of your own. Do you bring into focus the fact that they’re American? Liberal leftist arseholes are the same the world over. Instead of insulting another Western nation, try looking at who your real enemies are.

  12. Hey Roger,
    Just wondering how much you had to do with Syd Barrett’s demise? Did you manage to feed him an excess of of drugs to make him more insane before or after you ripped him off?

  13. Trbert- just an FYI Gilmore wrote Comfortably Numb and did all the guitar work. More Trivia- the fretless bass on “Hey you” was NOT done by the hack that calls himself Waters but rather Gilmore.
