to be fair to Syd, those are some of the lamest questions I've ever heard in an interview.. "What are you working on inside yourself?" I mean come on..
RIP Syd Barrett, thanks for all the great tunes, and all the inspiration, and some great experience's i had with your music. you are one of the greatest musicians of all time. shine on you crazy diamond. :(
Happy Birthday Syd. Insanity is not a static thing. He technically was diagnosed schizo and lived a lot of his life out at his parents home. He had a bad trip as a result of people messing about with him during a trip. They locked him in a closet for hours, one of a series of bad trips.When pink Floyd started to succeed it pushed him over the edge. He didn't like the commercial side of being an artist. this world was not ready for the whimsical genius of Syd Barret. Rest well, crazy diamond.
Maybe it was a combination of the two, mental illness and drugs. Regardless of the name you want to place on his behavior, it definitely was worth noting. It didn't mesh with the circumstances he was in. You must trust there were people in his life that loved him and did not only their best, but everything they could for him. He was loved and cared for regardless of his mental state. He was physically out of harm. and protected. He was encouraged to continue to create and express himself.
@kaptainbastard This crap has been spread every since the ass wrote his obituary & hinted that Crick used LSD during his days at Cambridge, and that it played a role in his discovery of the double helix. All came from the author unable to comprehend Cricks explanation of LSD in the brain in an interview. Crick never went on record about drug use, he did support legalization of herb, tho.
Do research, about neuroscience, stop spreading LSD propaganda. Lies don't help a thing.
There is nothing wrong with this interview/psychiatric session. Syd speaks about relativism. He is saying that the "criticism" he's been assimilated to is objective. He is frightened because he will always be a slave to these societal standards and systems he inevitably becomes a part of. Even if he were to oppose this paradigm, he would become part of the system for he is already doing exactly what he is ought/taught to do.
@Reptilectricful Agree with the topic of discussion as you stated but not convincedthey were initially expressed by Syd in this conversation (how ironic) I think the interviewer did a lot of leading or feeding thoughts into Syd upon which Syd was able to digest and expound upon. Unfortunately, I think Syd is caught up in the very thing he speaks of avoiding.
Syd has extreme Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, his is so rare as to be non existent -the stress was caused by the exact stories he writes...they are real. So much trauma over and over will cause a speech disorder, his thoughts are fine and his head clear, he's speech is no different that of the biblical story of Bablyon
My God. He's at the divide between here and now. Weirdly, i heard stan collymore say that everyone is just a hair's breadth from mental illness at any time. Yup. Poor Syd, we love you !
He definitely had some issues but the impression I get here is that he's more bored and messing with the interviewer than anything else. Or just doesn't really have anything to say so is just making shit up as he goes along.
There is all this heavy, negative propaganda about Syd Barrett, just listen to the nonsense at the beginning of this video. Why does Syd get this orchestrated & undeserved bad rap - even from Waters himself? WTF is up with that! High strangeness!
@JackTheBaptizer its called jealousy. me, i am a creative force and i say and do things that others consider outrageous, but to me are just run of the mill. and also, well, sid did fuck himself up pretty good. fuck the rest of pink floyd, give me a LIFETIME of listening to nothing but sid barrett and i would be happy as hell. thank you.
He reached for the secret too soon; he cried for the moon. At least he took a shot at it. How many of us hanging on in quiet desperation can say that?
Yet he still crashed and burned. Like I`m doing as I speak !!! Shine on. There`s no way out of here; when you come in your here for good. No suicide, whether fast or slow, can remedy it. Only small smiles here and there. Like a beach; an acoustic guitar and a a kiss. With 80 years with luck or even less. Eclectic ? Yeah.
Fulton: "What are you working on at the moment, inside yourself...." (pause) "Do you know?"
This was a deliberately discomfiting questioning tactic; actually a cruel thing to do to a person in Syd's condition.
Long pause.
Syd: "Yeah..."
Fulton: "Do you care to say?"
Syd: "Um, I can't. It's sort of.... I can't really say, because... it's obviously taking too much time to think about. I don't... I... it's um.... It's not really difficult."
Syd was always sensitive and intelligent and ultimately fragile and drugs, particularly LSD, pushed him over the edge. Why didn't anyone see Syd was failing? Perhaps because during London's turbulent '60s scene it was difficult, especially in a love-and-drug stupor, to distinguish incipient dementia from contrived brinksmanship. Barrett, as a genuine innovator and avant-gardist, probably had more leeway to act peculiar than most of the artiste/intellectual crowd he hung out with.
I imagine Syd hated this question and over the years interviewers would always ask that. People always wanted a look into Syd's mind and process, but that door remains sealed shut. That's the way he wanted it.
It's no damn psychiatric session, people need to do some research and don't make assumptions based on their own and only thoughts. Yeah it's a weird interview, but nothing more than that.
He was never diagnosed of any mental illness, he was no acid freak or casualty, he was just Barrett.
@Ayan102 First just want to say I'm not being argumentative at all, but I disagree w/ your last statement. He wasn't diagnosed, but, probably b/c he never went to a psychiatrist. Whether he's an acid casualty is impossible to tell, b/c he may have had an existing latent illness. But if you've seen the other Floyd members sharing antecdotes, IMO it's hard to say he's just being Syd. There's some convincing first hand evidence to say he's def got a mental illness.
@aleester Indeed, the other Floyd members sound pretty convincing about Syd's mental condition, especially Roger Waters, but you should always be based on more than one view of the situation. I don't quite remember now, but I think Barrett's sister said in a interview he did actually go to psychiatrists, but none of them diagnosed him of schizophrenia or whatever people think he had. I'd probably be more convincent and clear, but english is not my main language, so forgive me for any mistakes.
@aleester I believe the most reliable description of Syd is in his sisters interview, after his death. Without a doubt he was rather unusual, but like the guy below said, all this crazy diamond propaganda is undoubtedly odd, coming from people with whom he shared experiences and friendship.
@lespaulloon And based on what analysis you're saying that an event like that could prove he was an acid casualty? In fact it has not been proven whether if long term LSD usage can permanently damage one's mental state, and facts points it towards not, as it has been used for many years by psychiatrics for research.
Read his sister's interview on his life, she was the closest person to him, closest than any Floyd member.
@cellardoor199991 I've long suspected that was an eroneous diagnosis. Historically schizophrenia was kind of a catch-all diagnosis for "completely bonkers". Nowdays however the science recognizes a much more nuanced collection of various psychosis, and to be honest, Sids alternations between hyperactive-creative-loony and withdrawn-sad-unfunctional sounds a lot closer to a bipolar diagnosis thats completely treatable. RIP sid you crazy diamond.
@MrShayneOneill Regardless of the misdiagnosis, he was still an idiot for doing acid. Even more stupid to not stop. Not to mention the other shit he did.
@cellardoor199991 No, that information is false. Seems to me like you didn't read at all the part of my comment that said "do some research", learn to read.
And yeah, he did too much LSD, even though a great part of it he took unwittingly, people mixed acid with his food.
Then every other 60's musician was an idiot? As far as I know, people did a lot of LSD on that decade, specially artists.
@Ayan102 Looks like he was hanging w/ the wrong people. Every 60's musician wasn't and idiot. Robert Fripp and Frank Zappa weren't, and lots of other musicians didn't take drugs weren't idiots. The stupid ones did. 60's music isn't all about rock rock/musicians who dealt w/ psychedelics. You're hero Barrett turned into a vegetable by making all the wrong decisions and you have to demean others to make yourself feel better and have an unreal image of Syd look better......Sad.
@Ayan102 Are you seriously denying that he had a little fling with acid,? Haha, come on the rest of the band even reported one or a couple incidents where he just sat there de-tuning the guitar, and just completely stopped playing. There's another video here on youtube of him running around completely out of his head. And many times the band reported odd behaviour out of Syd towards the last times they saw him. And the time he showed up at the studio when they were recording (1/2)
@Ayan102 Shine on you crazy Diamond, after they haven't seen him in years, he was completely out of it. Not near the same peroson he was. I'm pretty sure that's some form of a mental illness. Like David said "Syd's just a story that fan's turned into some sad romantic story, when it's really not like that at all." (Something like that.) Now at the same time, don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of Pink Floyd, including their music with Syd.
Syd seems to think the internalized critic unconsciously guides his artistic expression, rather than he consciously internalizing phenomena with his critical mind. Do systems upon systems form the edifice of our history and our selves? Can we ever be free? I think Jean Paul Sartre in "Being and Nothingness" might say that we can be free. It is the negating character of consciousness that frees us from a dead, inert world.
As I interpret it, he feels limited by his own criticism of his work and behaviour, caused by educational and social conditioning. He seeks to recognize such conditioning as it is INSERTED into his mind, rather than recognize it at a later time when it is already in place.
Aside from this he seems to suffer from a kind of mental loops, and difficulty expressing, or even comprehending his thoughts.
You can clearly hear the "interviewer" writing on paper in some parts. And I've been to a shrink, this sounds exactly like the way a conversation might go. I think this idiot who let this out, thinking he would make money off of it should go to fucking jail.
I agree, these are WAY too personal questions for an interviewer to ask, especially to one who is is known to be mentally ill at that time..... maybe this guy was what finally did Syd in!!!
He may be a 'nice guy' but he is selling this interview, in his words, "you can buy Syd Barrett for a buck". He makes Syd sound like a piece of meat to be sold. Disrespectful to Syd's family. It would be nice if he gave the money to the Syd Barrett fund which supports the charity Escape Artists.
@mcmichen71 - Yes it is Thomas Lopez (Aka meatball Fulton). Rob Chapman writes about this interview in his biography about Syd, 'A very irregular head'. The bit I read was so well written I'm getting that book. Chapman really nails this interview. You can read 'Rob Chapman on Meatball Fulton on Syd'. My gut feeling from this interview is that Meatball has an ego the size of a house.
the guy doing the interview sounds like a guy called meatball fulton. he also did a very odd interview with jimi hendrix around this same time period. 67 era. i'm almost positive that it's the same guy. he was asking very bizarre questions to hendrix as well. i still have that interview on a picture disc.
I would say this is a therapy session, but if you watch part 2 the supposed "therapist" starts asking questions that pertain to his own life. he asked Syd to give him advice about his own life, what kind of therapist would do that? my theory is that it's probably a biographer.
Stupid ass motherfucker!!!! Exposing a private psychoanalysis of Syd to gain some sort of fame is just sick!!! You're a low scum eating bastard for this! Its obvious they are discussing a painting and what it meant to him and how he feels towards his life and his haunting thoughts!!! This was never meant to be heard I am sure!!! The fuck?!!!!
I agree with the comment's made by "playbyyourself" & "luanaluana71" this interview stink's of SETUP to me, but I'll say this "It's a noisy session", why dosn't Pink-Floyd Corp. say something to protect their creator as this has got sue-me all over it, shame on you floyd.
This does sound like a therapy session...I used to see a therapist regularly and it really does sound like it. But maybe it is an interview, who knows...doesn't sound like it, though.
Sorry to the intro guy but Playbyyourself is right! THIS IS NOT AN INTERVIEW it is a THERAPY SESSION. Depending on the relationship he had with the therapist this could be a chance to hear what he was all about or not. Anyone who has had therapy from a counselor, psychiatrist, psychologist would recognize that this is a session. My question is would we like people to judge us based on what we have said on one particular occasion? He was a passionate genius. I just wish i had half his talent!
@TheEpiphan3 IF AND A BIG IF..this is genuine it could also be an impromptu interview where the guy just lets him ramble on then uses the tape for notes in a book or in an article...but there is no way to verify if this is indeed Syd Barret's voice that we are hearing in the first place. Its probably not real in the first place.
Syd kissed the eternal. this world wasn't mean't for such people to get famous and rich. he opted out. this world is an absurdity who's primary passtime is tribal warfare. he saw the game. he went on his way....pink floyd without syd could play psychedelic music for the masses. spun out of syd's original archetype they played rock and as jerry garcia rightly noted, they created a phoney trip that made them millions. spun the music to mimic an lsd experience without the drug. they did a bangupjob
@pancaikmix45 Well he really didn't die that young (by rock star standards) he was 60. He just dropped off the face of the earth around 1972 due to schizophrenia.
The thing that bothers me is the opening monolog. He portrays Syd as a spaced out acid casualty, but the interviewer sounds even more spaced out than Syd.
The interviewer seems to be there to help destroy Syd inside. He is not interviewing him, he is fucking with his head. Fuck that piece of shit. The band should have never turned their back on Syd and let people like this get into his life.
@freepeoplenow dude,i agreewith you.it's almost like the guy is trying to Set Syd up to feel guilty and of course, being a true artist,He was honest with himself and with the people around him.He admitted he was lost.But FUck who ISN'T lost, and who DOESN'T go through patterns of routines over and over again trying to find "the way" that feels true to them? Honestly,I think what makes us humans. We search for our " Way", "the path" We have a conscience and we love. gimmesumthin2believein
@jImIjAmZ417 Well put. Syd had become more lost than the "average" person, but we all have a feeling of helplessness at times and go through patterns of routines as much through necessity as because in need of emotional support. Being in full time employment is a repeated pattern, as is playing sport or games - or sitting in front of a computer screen as I am now, or writing music, which I do.
I completely agree with jimzy61; I think this is an excellent interview with, for once, some actually relevant and interesting questions. I think that the interviewer is good too, and Syd sounds perfectly fine here- I totally get what he's saying. I think Syd must have certainly preferred these sorts of questions rather than the tired old trivial ones.
Is this an interview or Psychoanalysis (analysis by a psycho). This is the shit he was probably trying to avoid. . .
'Making it' materialistically doesn't put the big questions on hold for those who are willing to ask them. Obviously not referring to this sensational fishing trip of an interview.
Syd put fame and fortune on hold and got kicked out of the band/
Syd makes more sense than the interviewer with his psychobabble. "What are you working on at the moment......inside yourself." Yuk. I'm working on how to avoid talking to twits like you. He closed Syd down with his creepy questioning. Syd was being polite.
those of us who have indulged in Lady Lucy know it changes you, the ship never entirely comes back to shore once you let it sail far enough. i haven't sailed as far as Syd did, but I think everyone should have let him alone. Nothing is more peculiar than being out in the "real world" after experiencing certain things, and realizing that you are lost at sea. You spend the rest of your life trying to make sense of the faces in the fog of life and the words that float around like meaningless flies.
@thevoidconsumes As you said! I at the age of 14 in 1977 took half a black mic and my ship never really didnt come back.In later years with my friends i noticed that i couldnt smoke dope with them as i always got flashbacks of that trip in the summer of 77.Up until then i enjoyed a spliff with my young mates and that night a couple of mates and i never took a hallucinagenic again Yes tvc you are correct there and i only did it once..
@bundyboyno1 dont worry man, things will get better. the third tome I took LSD I lost my mind for few months. I had no clue who I was or what anything meant, and I wanted to kill myself. I couldnt smoke weed without feeling like shit and I thought it would never end. But I took time to get clean, meditate, self reflect. And not to sound lame but fallin in love really helped too. Ive taken way more cid and other things since then, and Ive made a complete recovery. Just find love man, it heals
I’m a little puzzled by the initial description by the interviewer of this interview; I find this very interesting and far from incoherent. Sid does become a little introspective by the end of the piece, but isn’t that just idiosyncrasy? Who knows....our outlook changes moment by moment sometimes.
'tisn't mad to think or feel very deeply ~ to a place where words aren't needed/adequate to convey or they might even distort what you're seeing as you attempt to discribe it ~ & a place where, try as you might, you can't take others there. Syd would likely test INFJ & some've suggested his visual thinking points to Asperger's. ??? Perhaps. He was probably more @ ease writing his thoughts or drawing/sculpting them vs verbalizing them. That he ended up immersing himself in art is little wonder.
lets all be honest....he sounds fucked up!...as with all genius's comes a certain element of madness!..but lets face it..the rest of the members along with the newly acquired David did VERY well without syd!...he only has himself to blame...a wasted life and a wasted genius..sad but true...what prob makes so many of us relate with syd is he is the down to earth honesty the guy had about life and everything...he could of been great instead he is a sad memory of what could and should of been!
but i was dubbed with the title Depressed and with a sour hint of social anxiety
and every since i'm still stuck , until i noticed that what these doctors have studied was nothing more than something that never will be fixed because its normal...were are animals.
There's nothing to feel anxious about, everyone's got insecurities and self-perceived inadequacies. Once you start to resolve yours, you've got the upper hand. Moreover, don't allow socially-perceived inadequacies affect your perspective of yourself. "It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society' hits the nail on the head. Be you. It's a big relief to realise how delusional society is, though it is sometimes a burden. 'Normal' ain't normal at all!
The whole reason we love PF is due to Syd leaving the band. If he would have stayed they wouldnt have gone far at all. Syd had great ideas but he was holding the band back.
Syd was the creative force behind the beginning of PF..but once begun..was abandoned by the rest for commercial reasons..this has been done countless times with rock groups..and one reason i despise the commercialization of rock music..
This is not an interview - it's a psychiatric session What kind of interview is punctuated with 15 seconds of silence between questions? He has a member of a popular band in front of him and these are the sort of things he asks? Oh, and he just happens to "lose" the other band members interview tapes? This is a breach of dr./patient confidentiality This guy would have been sued if this surfaced before Syd's death!
@playbyyourself ZBS Foundation, a small non-profit audio production company, was founded by Thomas Lopez in 1970 with a grant from Robert E. Durand as a working commune based on a donated farm in Upstate New York. The commune's purpose was to raise consciousness through media, specifically full-cast audio dramas. the guy who made this is in fact a lyer and a psychiatrist breaking his patients rights to be confidentiel, connect the dots iswhat im saying
@playbyyourself Maybe it wasn't a shrink, but the interviewer was on acid or some shit like that and they were having one of those weird deep drug talks. lol
Syd was clearly not all there in the end. It would have been interesting to get a psychotherapist to interview him... maybe give him some coffee or something a bit stronger to speed things along though.
As a former art school student, I understand EXACTLY what he is saying, that schools are motivated to produce "commercial" artists who will bring recognition back to school. This is the cycle of mediocrity that pervades so much "art" today. Syd was interested in genuine, profound originality and connection with more timeless, sublime forces. I get it, I relate to it. I live it. He just isn't speaking in "common" language to make it intelligible to people who are only interested in Pink Floyd.
this is the best example of syds state of mind towards the end of the floyd im so glad this guy made this public instead of keeping it hidden in a box somewhere waiting to try and sell it
Did they get you to trade/Your heroes for ghosts?/Hot ashes for trees?/Hot air for a cool breeze?/Cold comfort for change?/And did you exchange/A walk on part in a war/For a lead role in a cage?
Why do i get the funny feeling this isn't your average interview ?? They're not really questions one would ask at an interview.. I'm thinking more along the lines of he was seeing a shrink !! And this was released in 2007 after Syd's death knowing that there was nothing anything could be done about it.. You don't just lose interview tapes for 40 yrs, sorry, Does anyone agree???? If i'm correct how wrong is it that you do this...

Barrett, as a genuine innovator and avant-gardist, probably had more leeway to act peculiar than most of the artiste/intellectual crowd he hung out with.

I imagine Syd hated this question and over the years interviewers would always ask that. People always wanted a look into Syd's mind and process, but that door remains sealed shut. That's the way he wanted it.

It's no damn psychiatric session, people need to do some research and don't make assumptions based on their own and only thoughts. Yeah it's a weird interview, but nothing more than that.
He was never diagnosed of any mental illness, he was no acid freak or casualty, he was just Barrett.
Ayan102 3 months ago 20
@Ayan102 First just want to say I'm not being argumentative at all, but I disagree w/ your last statement. He wasn't diagnosed, but, probably b/c he never went to a psychiatrist. Whether he's an acid casualty is impossible to tell, b/c he may have had an existing latent illness. But if you've seen the other Floyd members sharing antecdotes, IMO it's hard to say he's just being Syd. There's some convincing first hand evidence to say he's def got a mental illness.
aleester 2 months ago
@aleester Indeed, the other Floyd members sound pretty convincing about Syd's mental condition, especially Roger Waters, but you should always be based on more than one view of the situation. I don't quite remember now, but I think Barrett's sister said in a interview he did actually go to psychiatrists, but none of them diagnosed him of schizophrenia or whatever people think he had. I'd probably be more convincent and clear, but english is not my main language, so forgive me for any mistakes.
Ayan102 2 months ago
@aleester I believe the most reliable description of Syd is in his sisters interview, after his death. Without a doubt he was rather unusual, but like the guy below said, all this crazy diamond propaganda is undoubtedly odd, coming from people with whom he shared experiences and friendship.

@lespaulloon And based on what analysis you're saying that an event like that could prove he was an acid casualty? In fact it has not been proven whether if long term LSD usage can permanently damage one's mental state, and facts points it towards not, as it has been used for many years by psychiatrics for research.
Read his sister's interview on his life, she was the closest person to him, closest than any Floyd member.

@cellardoor199991 I've long suspected that was an eroneous diagnosis. Historically schizophrenia was kind of a catch-all diagnosis for "completely bonkers". Nowdays however the science recognizes a much more nuanced collection of various psychosis, and to be honest, Sids alternations between hyperactive-creative-loony and withdrawn-sad-unfunctional sounds a lot closer to a bipolar diagnosis thats completely treatable.

Then every other 60's musician was an idiot? As far as I know, people did a lot of LSD on that decade, specially artists.
Ayan102 3 weeks ago
@Ayan102 Looks like he was hanging w/ the wrong people. Every 60's musician wasn't and idiot. Robert Fripp and Frank Zappa weren't, and lots of other musicians didn't take drugs weren't idiots. The stupid ones did. 60's music isn't all about rock rock/musicians who dealt w/ psychedelics. You're hero Barrett turned into a vegetable by making all the wrong decisions and you have to demean others to make yourself feel better and have an unreal image of Syd look better......Sad.
cellardoor199991 3 weeks ago
@Ayan102 Are you seriously denying that he had a little fling with acid,? Haha, come on the rest of the band even reported one or a couple incidents where he just sat there de-tuning the guitar, and just completely stopped playing. There's another video here on youtube of him running around completely out of his head. And many times the band reported odd behaviour out of Syd towards the last times they saw him. And the time he showed up at the studio when they were recording (1/2)
DanikaJadeee 2 weeks ago
@Ayan102 Shine on you crazy Diamond, after they haven't seen him in years, he was completely out of it. Not near the same peroson he was. I'm pretty sure that's some form of a mental illness. Like David said "Syd's just a story that fan's turned into some sad romantic story, when it's really not like that at all." (Something like that.) Now at the same time, don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of Pink Floyd, including their music with Syd.
DanikaJadeee 2 weeks ago
Syd seems to think the internalized critic unconsciously guides his artistic expression, rather than he consciously internalizing phenomena with his critical mind. Do systems upon systems form the edifice of our history and our selves? Can we ever be free? I think Jean Paul Sartre in "Being and Nothingness" might say that we can be free. It is the negating character of consciousness that frees us from a dead, inert world.

I think I get what syd's trying to say.
As I interpret it, he feels limited by his own criticism of his work and behaviour, caused by educational and social conditioning. He seeks to recognize such conditioning as it is INSERTED into his mind, rather than recognize it at a later time when it is already in place.
Aside from this he seems to suffer from a kind of mental loops, and difficulty expressing, or even comprehending his thoughts.

@mcmichen71 - Yes it is Thomas Lopez (Aka meatball Fulton). Rob Chapman writes about this interview in his biography about Syd, 'A very irregular head'. The bit I read was so well written I'm getting that book. Chapman really nails this interview. You can read 'Rob Chapman on Meatball Fulton on Syd'. My gut feeling from this interview is that Meatball has an ego the size of a house.

the guy doing the interview sounds like a guy called meatball fulton. he also did a very odd interview with jimi hendrix around this same time period. 67 era. i'm almost positive that it's the same guy. he was asking very bizarre questions to hendrix as well. i still have that interview on a picture disc.

Sorry to the intro guy but Playbyyourself is right! THIS IS NOT AN INTERVIEW it is a THERAPY SESSION.

My question is would we like people to judge us based on what we have said on one particular occasion? He was a passionate genius. I just wish i had half his talent!

As a former art school student, I understand EXACTLY what he is saying, that schools are motivated to produce "commercial" artists who will bring recognition back to school. This is the cycle of mediocrity that pervades so much "art" today. Syd was interested in genuine, profound originality and connection with more timeless, sublime forces. I get it, I relate to it.
