Pink Floyd The Story Documentary Part 2

[TheMickman48]

I still love Obscured by Clouds....its like the lost Floyd album that nevers gets played...and such awsome songs and direction!

[euapikou]

they kicked away Syd in the worst way...

[newfuckingwave]

syd didn't go crazy - he became marc bolan lol. seriously though, those two look so much alike

[dariusmartin78]

Come on... Ummagumma is a great album. I'm listening to it in my car all the time.

[SlayingMinion]

damn, anyone with a change to those eyes has taken a turn for the worst...

[cali1280]

alguien tiene el documental comp'leto en español?

[MoveOverCasanova]

i so would like to know how many trips barrett used to take normally! and what really happened to him, was it just the drugs or a mental condition? what turned his lights out actually and when?? questions over questions - what a first class rock star legend...

[MoveOverCasanova]

can anybody tell me whether there any films of "whacky barrett on stage" with floyd??

[INDLIS]

In the summer of 68, the Floyd went on their 1st American tour with Gilmour.

[BigGunsBates]

Andrew Lloyd Webber obviously stole the main theme for Phantom of the Opera from Echoes. Both pieces are still beautiful but one composer (Floyd) is greater than Webber.

[MrChirpsky]

In all these documentaries no one answers the question why, if Syd was able to go on writing songs for two solo albums, Pink Floyd dropped him entirely. It was a lot like as if the Beach Boys had not only vetoed Smile, but kicked Brian Wilson out to boot. But there it was over the material, not Brian's behavior (he could've played on tour but chose not to because he was miserable and wanted to stay in the studio). I think they just turned against Syd and now regret the resulting devastation.

[CrazySilverSpoon]

Do i hear this correct ? Dave said " we never picked him up.." . Syd never officially left the band in a way than.

[gr8tcockybitch]

syd is soooo supper hot!! and talented!! 

[aeronpanick]

@ PRETALIATION: you're right. but each person has his personal, specific dose, which is needed to open the door. for very few people it can work with one single trip. but most people must repeat the experience. and repeat can mean 10 times but it also can mean 100 times, it depends on each person.

[brianz1214]

The song brain damage is about syds dive to insanity due to LSD

Think about blotter paper and you will see what i mean

[CenaTv2]

i like the early pink floyd the best, with syd barret.

[sebmeiss]

PINK FLOYD IS DIKK

[LeftyCenter]

The "apples and oranges" part is funny.

[chrismarshall1950]

i don't get the reference to Brian Wilson. what happened to brain wilson?

[jon1156]

Due to increasing anxiety and general psychological problems, Brian Wilson stopped performing with the Beach Boys in 1966 and devoted his energy to writing and producing behind the scenes, creating some of their most celebrated music before disintegrating completely. Rick is saying that Floyd had hoped that Syd might be better suited to a similar role.

[chrismarshall1950]

oh okay. i'm familiar with the beach boys and brian wilson. but i didn't know he had a Syd like experience with his own band (minus the drugs)

[LeftyCenter]

Brian Wilson was the main songwriter for the Beach Boys. He was bi-polar or something. So they had him write the songs, but he was too unstable to play shows.

[ummagumma00]

look at them shiny shirts and scarves! bloody savages

[dreadlegs]

Ummagumma was diabolical after Piper and Saucer, who would have guessed that Floyd would continue and achieve the success they did. Having said that it contains my favourite tune ever: Grandchester Meadows. Waters early acoustic tunes on this, Atom Heart Mother, their film soundtracks (More, Zabriski Point and Obscured by Clouds) and his solo The body were sublimly beutiful, nature music, best heard round a campfire.

[imawafflesaurusrex]

For me? I think some people are luckier than others in that they accept that what the're seein' ain't real.I mean I do still flashback.But for me, I just see double and have a horrible feelin' of wrongness and weirdness.Me brains almost sayin' "I am NOT supposed to be seein' this.And it can happen at anytime.I get numbness throughout my bodie.I am also prone to extreme bouts of meloncholoy.Sayin' all this...I do not complain.I did this to meself. I am consious to the the worlds' pain...Eejit!

[imawafflesaurusrex]

Cooked it meself in 92.Too much acid.Needless to say i went through 2 years of hell.Nothing worse than not being able to trust yer own brain.I'm alright now though.Apart from the thousand yard stare.Amazin' how much abuse the body can take.

[PRETALIATION]

You can get back to where you need to be Comrade.

Amazing how much the human soul can stand and regenerate spiritually.

With LSD - Once the Door has been opened , one needn't drop it constantly.

But it changes everything.

I know it did for me - mescaline too - as a teen in the 80's.

[imawafflesaurusrex]

cheers fella.I wouldn't wish what we've been through on me worst enemy.sayin' that, the "trippyest"trips i had,and the furthest out I ever went.were on "bad ones".Hmm .Anyway,I reckon most of the cunts who fein to run the world need a good dosin' .(not that i condone spikin').Give em' a conscience.

[PRETALIATION]

I agree - Cheney could use a massive dose whilst tied to a chair in darkened room with a strobe light and HAWKWIND playing at ungodly volume.

Probably wouldn't change his soul though...

Rock On Brother

- 41 and still smokin'

[BILLYKARLOFF]

I agree

[P0mt3]

Is it true that after you drop acid, you never get all the way back to where you were? I mean, I heard about this one woman who still sees walls crawl.

[HiddenTruth666]

walls crawl? how so? what do you mean by that?

[P0mt3]

How the fuck should I know? It's somebody else's story. That's why I was asking to begin with.

[HiddenTruth666]

you said that YOU heard about a woman that has nothing to do with this video, thats why I asked you.

[P0mt3]

Yes, I HEARD about it; I wasn;t there, nor have I experienced a trip myself, so how would I be able to describe something any more than I already did?

The woman said the walls crawl. Take that in any way you wish. Your guess is as good as mine as to what it looks like.

[Truthzilla]

If you go climb a mountain or ask a beautiful girl out or do any other number of things, you will never get completely back to where you were, becasue you now see the world through these new experiences. Acid is an experience, and an intense one, which can change your outlook. If you only do it a few times then I don't think it's going to have any long term effects that any intense experience wouldn't. But, over do it and all bets are off.

[Perilous3D]

There's nothing more terrifying than the truth.

[torgyman]

see for yourself?

[SlayerAOD]

gilmour sounds like a nice warm guy

[Junansou]

I think so too ^^

[SecretTimeWarp]

@SlayerAOD They all seem to be, really. Floyd definitely has its share of pleasant, approachable English gentlemen. Roger is apparently *much* more pleasant in person than his legend would state.

[Abonanno24601]

@SlayerAOD He's a warm guy as long as he doesn't ditch you at your house for a gig. J/K. They had no choice

[newfuckingwave]

@SlayerAOD rick wright always seemed like he would be nice as well, but naturally very quiet. nick mason seems like he would be kind of aloof and waters of course a conceited fucking prick lol

[bigbadwolfy1977]

i aways the that the before and after pics were kinda scary, you look at his eyes before the abuse of acid he looked veary bright and happy and after was a dark look like there was nobody mentally you can tell right away if you compare them side by side

[spooner113]

i wrote lizards

[RATTLEY67]

Me and me mates loved Umma Gumma in the late 70's Of course we were very stoned

[KingChief73]

You should be fucking proud of yourself, jackass.

[07504201963]

likewise

[lilRadRidinHood]

seeing them in the early 70's at Hollywood Bowl was a HIGH point in my life as well

[benroo89]

i wish people would stop calling them "the floyd" it takes away half the name, syd wanted them to be called pink floyd because it's not manly or normally acceptable for men to have anything to do with pink.

[suffernrage]

Funny, but not even close. Pink Floyd was originally named Sigma 6, and would have stayed that way if they wouldn't have shared the bill with a band going by the same name. Syd named it after two of his favorite musicians- Pink Anderson and Floyd Council. It has nothing to do with manliness. I don't know where you heard that from.

[benroo89]

i know that, don't get all clever with me! i still think he obviously chose pink (and wrote a song about cross-dressing) to be flamboyant.

[DOAPFB72]

im afraid you mistaking about sigma 6 my friend. the first name of the band was The Abdabs, the tea set and then Sigma 5 not sigma 6.

[benroo89]

echoes is my favourite pink floyd song

[BrokenChair88]

Pink Floyd wrote "Dogs".

[d1974]

Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote "Cats".

[BILLYKARLOFF]

and Nickelodeon has a cartoon called

"cat dog"

[BrokenChair88]

Loyd Webber loves to rip off Pink Floyd. He stole the main riff from "Echoes", and used it on...

[BILLYKARLOFF]

used it on what?

[d1974]

Cats?

[BrokenChair88]

...the soundtrack to the movie...

[benroo89]

used it on te phantom of the opera

[StormsongK]

@BILLYKARLOFF "Phantom of the Opera".

[MrBronson66]

That main riff from "Echoes" was stolen from "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" by The Beatles, anyway.

Not that I'm defending Andrew Lloyd frigging Webber.

[BrokenChair88]

You obviously havent heard Webber's "Phantom of the Opera" theme. The riff from "She's so Heavy", and "Echoes" are both sound similar, but they aren't the same riff. Webber's P.O.T.A. thingy is exactly the same as the riff from "Echoes", but the one, and only difference is that it is played with an organ.

Pink Floyd are to origonal to steal.

[MrBronson66]

You're right that I haven't listened to "Phantom Of The Opera" very closely (seeing as I hate it), so I'll take your word for it.

You can probably find the same riff in a bunch of old cantatas, though. Certainly you can find that chord change there, and the riff that bridges the chord change is fairly simple and obvious. But yeah, seeing as ALW stole almost every note he's ever "written", I'm sure he consciously nicked it from somewhere, whether it was a classical piece or "Echoes".

[benroo89]
