Roger Waters is a garbage human, but I’m not the only one who thinks this. David Gilmour, guitarist and founder of Pink Floyd, was asked about a possible Pink Floyd reunion and said, “There is no possible way that I would do that," and share a stage with (Waters)...

Origins of a masterpiece, Comfortably Numb Initially titled as 'The Doctor', Comfortably Numb was released in 1979 within Pink Floyd's ground-breaking double and concept album The Wall. For many, it has the best guitar solo of all time and it was voted numerous times as the best by the listeners. For sure, the song has a lyrics background, too. Roger Waters wrote the lyrics. While many people thought the song was about drugs, Waters claims it is not. The lyrics are about what he felt like as a child when he was sick with a fever. As an adult, he got that feeling again sometimes, entering a state of delirium, where he felt detached from reality. He told Mojo magazine (December 2009) that the lines, "When I was a child I had a fever/My hands felt just like two balloons" were autobiographical. He explained: "I remember having the flu or something, an infection with a temperature of 105 and being delirious. It wasn't like the hands looked like balloons, but they looked way too big, frightening. A lot of people think those lines are about masturbation. God knows why." In a radio interview around 1980 with Jim Ladd from KLOS in Los Angeles, Waters said part of the song is about the time he got hepatitis but didn't know it. Pink Floyd had to do a show that night in Philadelphia, and the doctor Roger saw gave him a sedative to help the pain, thinking it was a stomach disorder. At the show, Roger's hands were numb "like two toy balloons." He was unable to focus, but also realized the fans didn't care because they were so busy screaming, hence "comfortably" numb. He said most of The Wall is about alienation between the audience and band. While it was an artistic high point for the band, the recording of “Comfortably Numb” marked the beginning of the end for Pink Floyd. As Gilmour later noted, the sessions represented “the last embers of mine and Roger’s ability to work collaboratively together.” By the time of the group’s next album, 1983’s “The Final Cut,” Waters had assumed control, with Gilmour effectively relegated to the role of session man. Waters would fold the band the following year, while Gilmour would resurrect Floyd without him in the late 1980s, much to the anger of his former writing partner. It would take the largest charity concert in history to bring the Waters-Gilmour-fronted Floyd back together. For Floydians, that one-off reunion for 2005’s Live 8 was a landmark moment; a fleeting glimpse of one of rock’s greatest legends. But, in true Floyd style, getting to the stage of the performance was hardly plain sailing. Opening old wounds, Waters and Gilmour reportedly bickered about the show’s setlist until the zero-hour. But, through all the back-and-forth, there was never any question about which song should end the set. Both knew that “Comfortably Numb” was Floyd’s greatest hit, and the only track to finish the story with Pink Floyd performing 'Comfortably Numb' live in 1980, after a year of its release.
