The Weeknd was set to kick off his After Hours Til Dawn stadium tour in Toronto on July 8. It just so happened that one of Waters’ shows for his This is Not a Drill tour landed on the same night.

Waters claimed to be “far, far more important” than both Canadian stars and said it “seemed off” that The Weeknd’s concert received more attention from Toronto publications despite it getting cancelled due to the widespread Rogers outage.

“I have no idea what or who The Weeknd is because I don’t listen to much music,” said the rock legend in the interview. “People have told me he’s a big act. Well, good luck to him. I’ve got nothing against him.”

The former Pink Floyd bassist and singer went on to name-drop another iconic Canadian artist: Drake.

“And, by the way, with all due respect to The Weeknd or Drake or any of them,” said Waters. “I am far, far, far more important than any of them will ever be, however many billions of streams they’ve got. There is stuff going on here that is fundamentally important to all of our lives.”

He's a unlikeable activist. His career ended as far as I am concerned in the early 80s.

Not that I agree with Roger on many things, but he is kind of right.

Drake and The Weekend will not last in the history of music when it is told.

None of these people are important. Waters is just a bit less unimportant.

Waters is an insufferable arrogant a-hole, but he’s far more talented than both of them.

Roger Waters is the most pretentious douche in rock music, which is really saying something.

Usually I reflexively disagree with anything Waters says.

On this point I must admit that still waters runs deep.

I'm going to see The Weeknd today at Metlife. I love Floyd, and have seen Waters a couple of times, but he's always been an irascible prick. No surprise his old arse is out of touch with today's music.
