Although a release date for Roger Waters' next album is still undetermined, the former Pink Floyd bassist does have a pretty extensive collection of demos along with a concept that strings each one to the next. The rocker recently detailed his plans of an impending concept album in the midst of Roger Waters The Wall's success.
"I have made an entire demo," Waters told Yahoo! Music. "I'm in a room sitting with a guitar, all the demo recordings and a legal pad and a pen, shoveling things around and scribbling things down. It's an attempt to come up with a shape, a cartoon sketch of what this painting may be when it's finished."
When the 67-year-old musician was asked if the new song would be compiled into a concept album, Waters explained that the album's main question was, "Why are we killing the children?" as he teased the idea of a live show that will feature the record as well as older music.
"The device that I'm using to do that is to think of it as an arena show, because I do think I have one more in me," he added. "I'm trying to figure out how to juggle all these new tunes with old tunes as well into a cohesive arena show that I can get some bums into seats with."
It's been a long two decades since Waters released solo music,1992's Amused to Death being his LP. Waters agreed that his fans are more than ready for his latest venture but divulges that it may be more difficult for him to produce under such pressures, UltimateClassicRock notes.
"The difficult bit in any project like this is getting the first sketches and finding the basic shape of the thing, blocking it out into the gray bits and the white bits," Waters told Rolling Stone. Waters did not participate alongide Nick Mason and David Gilmour in Pink Floyd's final studio album, The Endless River.
