Before his departure from Pink Floyd in 1985, Roger Waters showed off his vocal range in many of the band’s iconic songs, such as “Comfortably Numb” (1979), “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” (1975), and “Brain Damage” (1973). Waters also famously provided the scream in 1968’s “Careful With That Axe, Eugene.”
In a 2023 Q&A interview, Waters, now 83, revealed that vocalizing in that way during live performances of “Careful With That Axe, Eugene” did some damage to his vocal cords.
“Did you know that scream I did back in the day was so bad for the vocal cords and so bad for everything physical about my vocal cords, and my throat or whatever? I just didn’t know it at the time. I was pig ignorant. Not that pigs are all that ignorant,” stated Waters in the 2023 interview.
David Gilmour Discussed Pink Floyd’s Unconventional Tracks in a 2011 Interview
“Careful With That Axe, Eugene” was featured on the Pink Floyd album, 1969’s Ummagumma. According to Ultimate Classic Rock, Pink Floyd guitarist and vocalist David Gilmour referenced the band’s unusual and unconventional tracks, such as the tunes featured on Ummagumma, in a 2011 interview with Rolling Stone magazine.
“We were fairly brave, and would put anything on a record that amused us one way or another. But in some of those moments we were floundering about, and didn’t have our forward momentum very clear, and inspiration might have been a bit thin on the ground at times,” said Gilmour to Rolling Stone.
He then mentioned the band’s 13-minute track, “Psychedelic Breakfast,” off their 1970 album, Atom Heart Mother, and 1971’s “Echoes” as songs that went outside the box.
“Moving on from our ‘Psychedelic Breakfast’ moments – which is great in its way, but I’d never want to listen to it really – to something more concrete like ‘Echoes’ was much more satisfying,” said Gilmour during the 2011 interview.
