Fellow Syd fans wont you take a minute to check out my song? its called "the majority" i wrote it a while ago but i uploaded it the other day. id appreciate your comments its on my profile favourites.
I just don't like the idea that he isolated himself from pink floyd, from his long time best friends, and ended up lonely, But then At least we can remember his music
In case you half wit youtubers don't know about autism, it is diagnosed early on when kids are toddlers and little babies. And it is severely debilitating, unless it is the mild mild form, because autism is a spectrum disorder. But no, Syd did not have autism. People with autism don't join rock bands, they live in their own worlds from the start. Schizophrenia is more reasonable as a guess, but seriously--the guy did a lot of acid.
the mind is a fragile and mysterious synchronicity of chemical-electrical-emotional interaction. what brings on mind expansion in one person can bring total disaster in another. Syd probably went too far, and overloaded his psyche and lost himself.
Hallucinogens are very special drugs that command respect. They're not necessarily for recreation and some people have underlying psychological problems that are exacerbated or even brought out by a trip. Psilocybin mushrooms and lysergic acid diethylamide have given many people many beautiful experiences but they are not toys! Syd Barrett was talented and had all of the capacity to make this music in him already, regardless of his drug use. Giving drugs the credit for a human's talent is silly.
I don't get me. I love those that Syd influenced... Nick Drake, Robyn Hitchcock, the rest of the Floyd Crew, etc... but never quite copped to him personally. maybe I need more, I dunno. It's a shame he lost it, stuff of legends, really...
@NEDM404 he went nuts because of the huge amounts of acid...he took a half gram at one time thats 5,000 hits...it is a shame but, his music still...is brilliant...I could care less if he went nuts...it's the fact that died upsets me...and diabetes at that..man..it's such a shame..Rest in Peace and shine on you crazy Diamond.
but that the soul of Pink Floyd! what else is!? go to Lisbon to eat a nice pastel de nata a good port wine and everything else will actually have shit
People that still pin syd & gilmour against each other need to shut the fuck up. Yeah syd made pink floyd, and his presence was still felt in the group's later releases even after he left, but lets not pretend that gilmour's role in the group & contributions wasnt important. Syd and gilmour are two greatly respected guitarist/musicians (as they should be), lets just leave it at that, kay? cool.
@dirtynuke you're right but without syd they made the best song in this world and the best album in my opinion . Echoes and The Dark Side Of The Moon.
Syd made the Floyd. Without him there would be no Floyd. He set the platform with the Piper album, for not only the rest of the band, but the entire musical world.
@dirtynuke Bear in mind that Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band came out at the same time. It's a shame really but Piper is overlooked in favour of Sgt Pepper all the time, and Sgt Pepper was slightly more of a platform setter
that's perfectly fine, frankly, i'm pleased the whole fuckin' world did'nt turn on to barrett, unlike his former band. in fact, its a pretty good barometer of where heads are, methinks.
life always shimmers, let evident truths be sunight refraction of light about the surface looking for my mermaid hair shining in a mirror sucking the life out of bone marrow
Just like how Syd's biography "Crazy Diamond" recollects, Pink Floyd wouldn't have gone anywhere without Syd...and Pink Floyd wouldn't have gone any farther with Syd. Thanks for the contributions you made Roger Keith Barrett and be sure to "Shine On You Crazy Diamond!"
Syd Barrett was to Pink Floyd what Sid Vicious was to The Sex Pistols...... He made them interesting, without them they were just another band. And the impact his dive into the deep end had on them gave them the artistic inspiration they needed to carry on without him: When Syd was there, he used his own crazy visions to write the songs himself and the rest just played them. Watching the craziness first hand as he deteriorated gave them the artistic shock they needed for Dark Side, Diamond, etc.
@klapp08 Spot on. I've never liked Pink Floyd post-Syd...it just sounds like 60s elevator music to me. I don't even get the over-the-top love for dark side of the moon. It's not that interesting or creative to my ears. It sounds like sane people trying to write insanity-inspired music. Wheras, Syd's songs sounded like actual insanity and surreality and all that good stuff. Seeing who he became in later life is almost scary...makes you realize how fragile the human mind really is.
@avedic exactly, i personally really like the post syd pink floyd, but pink floyd wouldent be anything without syd barret in it. i preferr the syd era because it defines psychedelic, after he left pink floyd just lost the psychedelic feel
@klapp08 that is nonsense....david gilmour and roger waters did a great stuff with pink floyd. syd marked one period of pink floyd, but you have to respect all of them, especially roger and david
@stickyfinger24 I completely agree man, I wasnt saying the music that Syd wrote was better than Gilmour and Waters, quite the opposite in my opinion--Waters wrote all the real meaningful, groundbreaking stuff, especially in Animals and The Wall, while Syd's was pop-ish and shrouded in psychedelia. My point was, Roger and David aren't near as interesting of a character in real life as Syd, and if Syd wouldn't have went crazy, they'd have never had the chance/inspiration to create what they did
@typeanoise Smashing Pumpkins did a great live version back in the early 90s...and they were quite inspired by My Bloody Valentine, so that's probably the closest you'll get. :)
@nikosstanidis SYD BROUGHT THE LUNEY ASPECT OF PF AND DAVE BROUGHT THE DRAMA AND SOUNDSCAPES SO ALL IN ALL IT WOULDNT WORK IF SYD AND DAVE WERE IN PF TOGETHER AND THE ALBUMS FROM MEDDEL AND ONWARD PROBABLY WOULDNT HAPPEN. BUT YEA IT WOULD BE GREAT TO SEE THEM ALL TOGETHER
@dannymagoo8 Whats up your ass man? The reason why Syd and many others went mad was simply because they dropped LSD all day every day lol! Sounds like you need to take a chill pill!!!
@fatadam16 lsd makes clear that nothing is real and most people learn something for ever and never need a chill pill and some other people are lost forever. syd barret is musicly showing whats going on on lsd so you can get high without it. thank you very much syd for making me high on music.
@fatadam16 but your comment is stating that people should go out and try lsd and itll be great! but it is actually a very dangerous drug that drove many people crazy
@dannymagoo8 Where did i say that? I dont even do LSD lol! I said it changed the way people made and played music is all. Your putting words in my mouth man.
Acid is not what drove syd insane. im sure it didnt help a great deal but it was underlying problems such as schizophrenia, autism e.t.c. and trying to cope with a band which made him retreat into solitude. acid alone wouldnt do that, hasnt done it to me or anyone i know anyway
@electricblue451 ok syd barrett is one of my favorite musical artists of all time, I know for a fact that he never had autism or schizophrenia, he took too much LSD and went mentally insane, or atleast partially at the time. Autism and schizophrenia are the disorders associated with him later on in his life in an attempt to explain his mental disorder, his best friends admitted that he was a totally different person overnight, acid overdose
@fatadam16 Ya, also without psychedelic drugs syd would still have his mind and 40 years of his life back.. his mind was kinda sacrificed for this music..
Jesus is the only hope of salvation from the guilt of sin. He is God come in the flesh. And he came to wash away our sins with his blood that he shed on the cross. Salvation is a free gift, but you must repent and ask Jesus to save you from your sins and come into your heart. God is good. It is written, "The just shall live by his faith."
It is intriguing that in the history of Floyd. Various facets, several chapters of an epic that has changed as if the past millennia. FLOYD FOREVER ... SYD is the guy .. IS THE TRUE GENESIS FLOYDIAN...
@peaceloveandrockism Says the person named "peaceloveandrockism" while defending "treehuggerlass". You guys sound like fucking 14 year-old girls. That movement is fucking dead and you know nothing about it. Try to be fucking original why dont you? You uncultured, illiterate swine. Everything you have to say has all been said before. Im not trying to change your overkilled, burnt-out views, Just point that you stand for nothing but the sad the death of a generation. So fuck you and your arrogence
@goldphishie "You guys sound like fucking 14 year-old girls." <-culture! actually, culture = educated, polished, and refined.. your opinion is the opposite of culture, lol! here's a clue: you have richard nixon's opinion (originality!) about whatever 'movement' you claim to know is dead when it's easily proven alive in world events. It's an ideal - not a movement - a permanent part of society. peaceful revolutions have happened recently, no thanks to people with your ideals. Boom, Roasted!
When I was about 14 yrs. I "insisted" on seeing The Pink in concert. My MOTHER "insisted" my FATHER attend/chaperone the event. Understandably, and to his credit, my pop spent most of his time out by the beer kioskes leaving me and my friend to enjoy. However, he did watch the show just out of ear damage range (his words). On the drive home (myself driving my date and dad back while on acid) he pipes up to say "That guitarist was one of the least flamboyant but most skilled artists I have seen"
@ThePaulbridgeman gilmour played with floyd off and on while syds erratic behaviour was getting worse and his mind was slowly floating away into its own reality, gilmour was long time friends with syd back in cambridge, gilmour taught syd mostly everything, once syd was permanently kicked out of floyd, gilmour jumped in, and then syd started his solo career for about 4 years, and gilmour, waters, klose, aswell as mason helped him produce these albums.
@LysergicBliss67 That is so cool I knew about Roger Waters but not the others. I wasn't putting either up or down I just feel they all obviously work happily together and that says all we need to know. Still a shame that Syd missed out on the real big time.
I think its important not to discount the fact that he was just happier painting. Syd was an artist not a musician. His music was art to him. I think he was a sensitive soul and the muso's lifestyle didn't really suit him. People keep talking like he died when he left Floyd.To me he started living and doing things his way instead of what was expected. It could have been worse. If he had stayed in music he might have overdosed or fried his brains completely.
I became a Pink Floyd fan like many after the Syd Barret years. This is the first time I ever knowingly heard him solo. Wikipedia has a very interesting article on his controversial behavior. But this song is exceptional in composition, guitar harmony, and voice. His loss is disturbing, but look at what he left.
LudiKZ, "...my hairs on end" simply refers to the same sensation as when a person gets goosebumps over something. Animals (including us) hairs stand up when they are excited (think of a dogs' neck hair when they think they hear something). My favorite Syd line is "With eskimo chain, I've tattoed my brains all the way. Won't you miss me, wouldn't you miss me att all?" Eskimo chain is a pattern much like Celtic knot artwork.If that's what's all over your brain, then you've got yourself good shit.
Halas not many people can understand I can see ! If Syd hadn't been there, there would never have existed a Pink Floyd ! He was simply "the poet" , lost in the void among galaxies . A true meteor . RIP in peace good friend !
@jemikojemiko you arn't gonna get many tags dude. lol syd is good but he couldnt keep his shit together enough. plus without gilmore you wouldnt have many of your pink floyd favorites...
you can only say that in theoretical/ philosophical kind of way.two of them cannot be compared.each one is essential and crucial in the same way.Pink Floyd is like a living organism.Syd is left and David right hand.
@bernardbuchanan Thanks for that bernard. As a teenager in the late sixties and taking lots of acid we would spend many happy spacey nights with Pink Floyd as our backing track. Looking and listening back now I realise that all the stuff that really tugs at my heart strings has Syd playing on it. Some of his solo songs are just beautiful and I think you would be hard pressed to find such talent today.
@jemikojemiko Syd was crazy and out of control. He had crazy fucking lyrics (good thing) and helped create the greatest band of all time, but I prefer Gilmour over Sid any day. Gilmour saved Pink Floyd and is one of the best guitarist of all time with an amazing voice and great respect for his music.
I love pink floyd, but i don't like how they used Syds image, to begin the first album was Syd Barret and the pink floyd, he wrote most if not all of the album, he arrange koncert concepts. Pink Floyd bekame famous and prettty much got rid of syd, The best albums pink floyd made was somehow or overall related to syd, the first one made them famous the next ones without syd were good but nothing happened, '73 Dark side of the moon, '75 wish you were here, '79 the wall. In my Point of view. ROGER!
@izkierdizta you're dead on, although atom heart mother is one of my favorites, Roger was the mastermind from darkside through the wall which was the era that brought them from a good band to stardome. The Gilmour followers are going to believe he MADE the band no matter what you say and he was a big part and the most talented performer but you can find other great guitarists/vocalists but if youd taken waters out floyd wouldve never come out with the level of epic albums during that era.
@izkierdizta Syds not alone there same thing happened with Peter Green in fleetwood mac...they found mega stardom without peter....The manic street preachers also had Ritchy Edwards but hes missing pressumed dead....theres probabaly many more.....
@tteu123 he was a mad master of combining tracks in head. gilmour is great in his own respect. syd's "madness" is spoken so clearly in his final music. and that is why some amongst us see his work as more than 60's ditties. gilmour has trouble pulling this one off, and he's tried.....
how insane can someone be who writes such a song?i more and more get the impression that he lsd´d himself away willingly from floyd, but was far from being "gone" -- i mean listen to that, this is calm, warm and truly beautiful!!!

I think its important not to discount the fact that he was just happier painting. Syd was an artist not a musician. His music was art to him. I think he was a sensitive soul and the muso's lifestyle didn't really suit him. People keep talking like he died when he left Floyd.To me he started living and doing things his way instead of what was expected. It could have been worse. If he had stayed in music he might have overdosed or fried his brains completely.

I became a Pink Floyd fan like many after the Syd Barret years. This is the first time I ever knowingly heard him solo. Wikipedia has a very interesting article on his controversial behavior. But this song is exceptional in composition, guitar harmony, and voice. His loss is disturbing, but look at what he left.

LudiKZ, "...my hairs on end" simply refers to the same sensation as when a person gets goosebumps over something. Animals (including us) hairs stand up when they are excited (think of a dogs' neck hair when they think they hear something). My favorite Syd line is "With eskimo chain, I've tattoed my brains all the way. Won't you miss me, wouldn't you miss me att all?" Eskimo chain is a pattern much like Celtic knot artwork.If that's what's all over your brain, then you've got yourself good shit.

@LudiKZ ...It's Syd Barrett. It probably doesn't mean ANYTHING.

Halas not many people can understand I can see ! If Syd hadn't been there, there would never have existed a Pink Floyd ! He was simply "the poet" , lost in the void among galaxies . A true meteor . RIP in peace good friend !

you can only say that in theoretical/ philosophical kind of way.two of them cannot be compared.each one is essential and crucial in the same way.Pink Floyd is like a living organism.Syd is left and David right hand.

@bernardbuchanan Thanks for that bernard. As a teenager in the late sixties and taking lots of acid we would spend many happy spacey nights with Pink Floyd as our backing track. Looking and listening back now I realise that all the stuff that really tugs at my heart strings has Syd playing on it. Some of his solo songs are just beautiful and I think you would be hard pressed to find such talent today.

@jemikojemiko If you want a guitarist Dave does that. If you want a symbol it's different.

@jemikojemiko Syd was crazy and out of control. He had crazy fucking lyrics (good thing) and helped create the greatest band of all time, but I prefer Gilmour over Sid any day. Gilmour saved Pink Floyd and is one of the best guitarist of all time with an amazing voice and great respect for his music.

I love pink floyd, but i don't like how they used Syds image, to begin the first album was Syd Barret and the pink floyd, he wrote most if not all of the album, he arrange koncert concepts. Pink Floyd bekame famous and prettty much got rid of syd, The best albums pink floyd made was somehow or overall related to syd, the first one made them famous the next ones without syd were good but nothing happened, '73 Dark side of the moon, '75 wish you were here, '79 the wall. In my Point of view. ROGER!
izkierdizta 10 months ago
@izkierdizta you're dead on, although atom heart mother is one of my favorites, Roger was the mastermind from darkside through the wall which was the era that brought them from a good band to stardome. The Gilmour followers are going to believe he MADE the band no matter what you say and he was a big part and the most talented performer but you can find other great guitarists/vocalists but if youd taken waters out floyd wouldve never come out with the level of epic albums during that era.

I've practiced for hours since yesterday and this is the first song I've barely managed to pull off.
Huge respect for Syd. Shine on you crazy diamond!
tteu123 11 months ago
@tteu123 he was a mad master of combining tracks in head. gilmour is great in his own respect. syd's "madness" is spoken so clearly in his final music. and that is why some amongst us see his work as more than 60's ditties. gilmour has trouble pulling this one off, and he's tried.....

how insane can someone be who writes such a song?i more and more get the impression that he lsd´d himself away willingly from floyd, but was far from being "gone" -- i mean listen to that, this is calm, warm and truly beautiful!!!
