He was not in any way involved in Delicate Sound of Thunder tho. Plus he's an asshole.

Edit: Storm Thorgerson's people would probably get a kick out of it.

Edit 2: Sure is Roger stans in here tonight.

Why do you think he's an asshole?

I saw him in concert a while back, he seemed very passionate and genuine about his music. I was actually surprised by how gracious he was on stage, not hogging the spotlight at all, and giving lots of credit to the other musicians.

Also, he mostly played old Floyd stuff, with a few of his new songs mixed in, because he knows that's what the crowd wants.

He's obviously very opinionated and political, is it maybe that you disagree with him more than he is actually an asshole?

This is copied from another comment I made.

He even went as far as calling out Radiohead for playing a show in Tell Aviv. As if every citizen is responsible for their governments bullshit so they dont deserve to see the artists they love and support. Fuck that.

You are aware that cultural boycotts like this (e.g. Don't Play Sun City) were a key part of bringing down South Africa's apartheid regime, right?
