Through it all, though, the utter blackness of Waters' spirit holds true, and since there are no vocal hooks or melodies, everything rests on the mood, the near-nihilistic lyrics, and Gilmour's guitar. It also makes Animals as accessible as it possibly could be, since it surges with bold blues-rock guitar lines and hypnotic space rock textures. This gives the music, on occasion, immediacy and actually heightens the dark mood by giving it muscle. For an album that so clearly is Waters', David Gilmour's guitar dominates thoroughly, with Richard Wright's keyboards rarely rising above a mood-setting background (such as on the intro to "Sheep"). Animals is all extended pieces, yet it never drifts - it slowly, ominously works its way toward its destination. Arriving after the warm-spirited (albeit melancholy) Wish You Were Here, the shift in tone comes as a bit of a surprise, and there are even less proper songs here than on either Wish or Dark Side. It isn't that Roger Waters dismisses the human race as either pigs, dogs, or sheep, it's that he's constructed an album whose music is as bleak and bitter as that world view. Pink Floyd was my first musical love, and the album Animals was my first experience in encountering and cherishing something that others did not care for. They’ve been fighting for the past 50 years and seem to have hit yet another low point in their relationship.Of all of the classic-era Pink Floyd albums, Animals is the strangest and darkest, a record that's hard to initially embrace yet winds up yielding as many rewards as its equally nihilistic successor, The Wall. And anyone hoping for a guest appearance by David Gilmour at one of the shows is probably out of luck. Roger Waters begins his tour on June 6th, 2022 at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh.

Why? Because unless he was hiding under the fucking chair, DG wasn’t there when I made that SFX tape loop for ‘Money’ in the studio I shared with my wife Judy at the bottom of our garden at 187, New North Road, Islington, next door to the North Pole Pub where I used to play darts! The full story of what really happened is in my memoirs!” “He has no fucking idea what he’s talking about.
“Everything DG is saying here to David Fricke sounds like gobbledygook is because it is fucking gobbledygook,” Waters writes. On his website, he points to a 1982 interview the guitarist gave to David Fricke where he talks about the creation of the tape loop on the song “Money,” which he quotes at length. One of his motivations is to correct the historical record he claims has been distorted by Gilmour. If I don’t do them now, I’ll probably never do it.'” “I’ve had a lot of time on my hands over the past year,” Waters says in a new Instagram video. During the downtime, Waters has just revealed, he began work on a memoir.
Waters was supposed to spend the past year on the road with the This Is Not a Drill tour, but the pandemic caused him to delay the dates until 2022. But, he has for the last 35 years told a lot of whopping porky pies about who did what in Pink Floyd when I was still in charge.” “This is a small part of an ongoing campaign by the Gilmour/ Samson camp to claim more credit for Dave on the work he did in Pink Floyd, 1967-1985, than is his due,” Waters wrote.”Yes, he was, and is, a jolly good guitarist and singer. The conflict also caused the Animals set to be delayed because of their disagreement over the liner notes.
