Controversies of this is not a drill
Some situations led to This is not a drill Being marked as one of Roger Waters’ most controversial, even though the tour has presented a less contesting tone than the artist’s previous ones. The most notorious situation was in the middle of 2023, when the musician played in Berlin, Germany, and accused him of using images and costumes associated with Nazism.
The moment took place during the music “In the Flesh”album track The Wall (1979), when Waters adopted a red clamp with cross hammers – the Nazis wore a similar piece, but with the figure of a swastika. The controversy at this point in the championship made no sense, as Roger makes use of the pieces for decades and in a tone of criticism.
Even so, the former Pink Floyd member was the target of an investigation by German authorities and had presentations canceled in Frankfurt and Munich. It was necessary that the artist resort to court to get the right to perform shows. In Brazil, Ary Berghervice president of the Israeli Confederation of Brazil (Conib) and president of the Holocaust Memorial Institute, asked the Ministry of Justice to cancel a stage of the tour that would be performed here at the end of that year. The action was filed and the performances in the national territory occurred normally.
Critic to the Israeli government amid conflict in the Gaza Strip, Waters also had complications on the visit to South America. As quoted, everything was quietly in Brazil, but hotels in Uruguay, Argentina and Colombia, countries where they would perform their reservations and their team reservations. Reports point out that the musician had to stay stayed in Sao Paulo and go back and forth from other South American countries.
