The “bullshit” band Roger Waters wishes his 1979 opus had never inspired: “Theatrical nonsense”As rock ‘n’ roll’s mouthpiece, Roger Waters is less shy about sharing a personal opinion than a football pundit who has had a couple of pints. In July 1978, at Britannia Row Studios, Roger Waters pitched his bandmates two new ideas. U2 playing such huge stadiums meant that they could offer rather reasonable ticket prices with a sliding scale of price categories to suit all budgets. Waters’ dislike of U2 comes from a public spat with the band. Despite the evident similarities between their shows, Waters seemed to recall that U2 were dismissive of his pet project, and boy, he did not like that.
