>let's release an album without our charismatic frontmanWhat the fuck were they thinking?
>>129854019They should’ve gotten Iggy Pop to fill in
>>129854019do you know musicians need to pay their bills?
>>129854100How different would have been?
>>129854019They figured it worked for Joy Division.

>>129854411 Roger Waters is not Pink Floyd's frontman though.
>>129854019After Jimbo died they could never recapture that Food Rock sound
>>129854019They were already demoing these tracks for Jim to potentially sing over when he got back from Paris, and I guess they felt like they wanted to remind people that they weren't just *his* band. It's still kind of stupid that they barely waited at all to shit it out.
>>129854906This album was more embarassing.
They should have asked Van Morrison
>>129854393Under a new name
>>129855147Not fat enough
>>129854411>Waters>charismatic
>>129854393And Genesis.
They thought they could do it because they would do shows without Jim when he was too messed up
>>129854411better than The Final Cut
>>129854411I can't imagine someone less charismatic than Waters right now
>>129855147that woulda been cool
>>129854266Sir, this is a NEET board.
>>129856401the final cut is their best album
>>129854266>>129857448They still could've retired after L.A. Woman and been rich forever. As I recall after they split Manzarek became a session musician and producer of the early LA punk scene
>>129857659>been rich foreverSure, if they successfully scaled back to their pre-platinum lifestyles lol. They were lucky though, they kept selling after it ended.
>>129854019>Let's release another!they were out of their minds, but apparently a single from this album charted according to Wikipedia
>>129857643lmao not even close, it's Wish You Were Here
>>129858408That's some incredible album art though
>>129854019Cocaine and hookers don't pay for themselves, bud.
>>129859216What do you mean, that album is awesome, just a different style than their Ozzy stuff.
>>129854019ray used to fill in as singer when Jim was too fucked up a lot.
>>129857713exactly. I doubt they were super-rich until Jimbo nostalgia kicked in about a decade after he died.
>>129854393>charismatic
>>129854888DOA
>>129854906They didn't want Jimbo back, they were tired of his bullshit and wanted to go on without him even before Morrison died. Here's an excerpt from John Densmore's book.
>>129854888>>129860095Wasn't he a burger guy?
>>129860114>If he reappeared I saw us spending the rest of our lives in dumpy clubs and in grumpy recording sessionsFunny this happened after Jim's death.
>>129861429I'd say he ended up a lot richer after Jim died than before. took a little while for Jim to become a legend post-death tho and the Doors to start selling more albums than they ever had before.might have missed the groupies tho.
