Dave Kilminster Rig & Rant

Post by siderealxxx »

Just watched this interview with Dave Kilminster about his history with RW and tour rig: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lgg5nl7c1dY

I'm sorry but I never liked this guy or his playing and watching the first 10 minutes I now realise why.

He'd never heard of Roger Waters before, knew nothing of the band, and thought Comfortably Numb was a disco song by the Scissor Sisters.

He sounds utterly uninterested and despondent about the whole thing. How on earth he got the job (and maintained it) I do not know.

Whatever the personalities involved, RW's current live band is musically top notch. In my opinion.

If they're are just playing to collect their wage, I'm not too concerned as the result is what matters in my mind.

EDIT: Dave Kilminster and Murray Hockridge did a cover of Wish You Were Here.

I always thought he came across as a bit of a tosser on stage, and I used to worry that I was being unfair to him by thinking that.
