Roger Waters Records Three Albums During Pandemic

 With nothing else to do except read, exercise and work on music, Pink Floyd member Roger Waters has completed three albums, with minimal help on keyboards.


Rock

The first month went by and Waters had completed most of the songs as demos. It starts with man using rock as a tool, then as a weapon, bashing each other on the head. one song covers David and Goliath, with the famous rock sling.

Paper

Here Waters has gone back to Chinese paper making, letters and writing. Eventually the songs go on to Europe and cover Gutenberg.

Scissors


Departing from the easily refined natural materials, Waters takes us on to technology and metals. Rather than focus on swords, scissors symbolize a peaceful state, clothing manufacture and the economy of the mercantile state. Golden scissors are covered in the last track, relating to royalty.

Tour


As soon as the pandemic is over, Waters will tour with his band in the Rock, Paper and Scissors tour. He will be returning to Kansas City, St. Louis and possibly Omaha on the US leg of the tour. In Australia, a few dates are planned, starting with Melbourne.
