Well, you have been more than generous with the ZZ Top stories. Do you happen to have any Roger Waters stories to share? CP is credited on one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE albums, Amused to Death. Can you share anything at all about those sessions? |

He's been working on a new album, and I must say it is great. |

Trivia quiz, on the line: "Each man has his price, Bob. And yours was pretty low." Who was Bob, And why did he get mentioned by name on the record? |

Waters explains this line: "When we recorded the album I would sometimes rehearse vocal takes by impersonating Bob Dylan. That line originally read 'Each man has his price my friends...' so make of that what you will. As a joke I sung 'Bob' instead and Pat insisted that we left it in. So although it was unintentional I'm happy that it's there for Bob Ezrin. I hope he appreciates it." (Bob Ezrin had originally agreed to produce Roger's _Radio KAOS_, but backed out of the deal to produce MLoR.) |

I have bought Amused to Death about ten times - I give it away to people (especially studio folks) who don't know it. It's certainly a "takes time to appreciate" record, as it doesn't hit you over the head with melody and hooks and so on. I have some stories I know from people who worked on it, only a few of which I might be able to share publicly! Trivia quiz, on the line: "Each man has his price, Bob. And yours was pretty low."

I worked with Bob Ezrin for a week and I have never seen a more abusive producer. Bill |

see this is what's wrong with recording today... a good assistant would have held the propane torch. |

Actually Roger's studio in his house had terrific monitors.. kind of a mini-Westlake Hidley with elements added by Ted Rothstein. And the guy is a snooker shark. |

Which was was rebuffed on Pink Fraud's album "Division Bell" during the Boxing bell part of one of the tracks...where Dave says he offered the olive branch to "his Enemy's" and was told to "Go and F*ck himself". |
