they are short, and unreal, likely to dissapear in the sea of time. Roger Waters deserves the hell, evenwhen he is deeply creative, because he used Syd´s life and experiences, just to feed his career. He used Sýd´s innocence and after he bashed tim, he cried for him and wrote about. Cynical Roger!. So he did it with Richard Wright, but this is the other part of the floyd ´s story.

[thedarkglobe]

Roger Waters could be a genius but not a good friend. All about Floyd ´s talent have no discussion about, but they did their own business, so they survived and growed up, Syd was the sensible, delicate, hearty, unmature(but not a jerk, never!) boy, always engaged in his childhood, the dreamer, the thinker. He was clean! notice that a dream and a joke it ´s exactly the same. Most of the times he thought he was dreaming a nightmare, a heavy joke-like, all is the same..jokes and dreams ...

[sijag68]

no one may care, but Syd's car is a 1959 Pontiac Parisienne convertible, what good taste he had in cars, as well as being adept at fine music.

[PAULLONDEN]

The "Milky Way", was(is ?) an alternative club in Amsterdam, where the early Floyd performed.Probably Syd's ode to this hangout.

ur a troll, waters a lyricist barret a lyricist, waters wins end of story, gpo buy barrets ;lp he made, octopus was a good song rest were babbles frfom a guy desperate to out of sight?, just don't copmpare waters with anyone, the guy is a genius, with gilmour and wright he was a god, with Nick Mason they became ...............

[valaurwen]

@destined2sleep

Uhm so what do you have to say about the fact that Waters himself said in several interviews that he "has never been able to reach Syd's level of creativity" and that "Syd was absolutely brilliant, nothing like anyone I'd ever met before", that "even after fifteen years of Pink Floyd I've never been able to make up for the space Syd left or come close to what he was able to do", and that "the man was a genius unlike any other". Yes these are Waters' own words. Look it up dude.

[destined2sleep]

@valaurwen look it up dude? Who uses the word dude? Waters is bound to say those things, he was his friend and was simply paying homage to the man. Of course he respected and admired him but from the material from both parties I still say Waters was a level above

[valaurwen]

@destined2sleep

1 - Well obviously I use the word "dude". You seriously trying to use that as some sort of insult? Bizarre.

2 - So you're disqualifying Water's own restated opinion? "Paying homage" despite the fact that he held that same sentiment even in the majority of his most pissy and anti-Syd interviews...? Right. Yes "The Wall" was brilliant in my opinion but it took many years of writing and was VERY inspired by Syd (sound and story), so says Waters. Syd's genius was unfathomably deep.

[paisleybabee]

Nice!I love the boots(note the tiptoe shot)and I've not seen the whole Mick Rock car session before!

[NekoLGirl]

Very un-Syd-like sentiment, MrSlayer77. (But then again, in all fairness, I doubt many Slayer fans were ever proficient linguists.)

[MrSlayer77]

joechriss morris.. Morris?

what aweful parents would name their child "morris"

fuck you man

[JoeChrisMorris]

thanks for allowing my acoustic cover of "Milky Way" as a video response

I'm assuming this is a BBC take, from "Sounds of the Seventies" on the radio or something like that

Surprised this wasn't on the 2nd album, Barrett

[DaveS12382]

This is unfiltered pure talent simply pouring out of a genius. He just made it seem so easy didn't he? There's nothing forced about it, so natural.

[bob5649946]

i mean 1989

[bob5649946]

no its not check beacuse the song was made in 1969 but published on 1986

[bob5649946]

[Whyshouldeyecare]

whAt a ReAl treAsuRe...Syd BaRRett RIP

[Toasterman7642]

I just subscribed. These are some awesome (and rare as hell) Syd songs! I'm at a loss for where you found them.

Keep on bringing us this stuff! It rocks!

[BeechwoodSilasLang]

Thanks man, that means a lot.

[77doriella]

As I have said before, its easy to make excuses for people you admire. The facts are that it was in Roger Waters interest to dump Syd at his most vulnerable hour. He could'nt hope to compete with Syd's genius. Gilmour helped his so called friend with his solo projects only to moan about how hard it was to work with the man who's career he had stolen. Check it out. They then became the lumbering, sad and boring dinosaurs that you probably enjoy so much. I await your predictable response.

[Freedom9495]

I agree, they even took some of his ideas and made music, and Dave I dont like, he keeps saying it was mostly him who did the madcap laughs album, like syd didnt do anything, he did this and that and it was so hard for both roger and him to work wih syd. How can friends say things like that? dont get it...

[popgoiuuod]

Agree- I lost alot of respect for the other band members when I started to explore the early days. In fact now I rarely pull a pink floyd album unless its the first 2, and Syds solo work is fantastic. That said? I did have a friend who lost his mind at around 20-21 and it was beyond sad- in fact somewhat frustrating. There would be times I literally had to turn the car around and drop him back home, or walk out of a room for air. He would fade in and out, eventually he faded beyond recognition

[jefduf]

tell me more about your friend, did he had a nervous breakdown, was he skidzofrenic,what made him go overboard? Not lsd?

[popgoiuuod]

Very similar to Syd actually- my friend was perfectly normal until about 19-20 and it happened in a matter of say 3-6 months? He became extremely paranoid and delusional- sometimes sitting for hours at a party or wherever we were and just thinking, sometimes smirking or muttering things to himself.. After about 6 months you couldnt even hold a conversation with him- he would bring up silly things you said maybe 3 days earlier, and as the year went by it became impossible to even converse..

[ritter89]

@popgoiuuod Typical expression of schizophrenia, which almost always strikes around ages 19-24 and rarely after 30. It's often progressive w/ sporadic periods of improvement. The current theory is that it's primarily a genetic condition. Most children who are destined to develop schizo-affective disorders usually show mild symptoms during their teens. Many are highly intelligent and creative prior to their first psychiatric breakdown, which occurs regardless of whether or not drugs are involved

[destined2sleep]

@77doriella waters was better ythan syd period, gilmour saw it too, ur a dick

[EndlessNot1]

@77doriella it's amazing how all these Syd lovers demonize the rest of the band that were just trying to carry on as Syd's mental illness grew worse...Gilmour "moaning" about how hard it was to work on Syd's solo albums, ridiculous...he could've just not done anything...there's a new Barrett biography out...all you so called Pink Floyd theorists should read it unless it may debunk your Syd's Floyd dreamworld that you've created

[VegaVelecka]

@77doriella You are right, too much moaning by the rest of PF about the torture of working with (quote) "impossible" Syd: "When 'Emily' was a hit and we were third for three weeks, we did Top Of The Pops, and the third week we did it he didn't want to know. He got down there in an incredible state and said he wasn't gonna do it. We finally discovered the reason was that John Lennon didn't have to do Top Of The Pops so he didn't."

[VegaVelecka]

@VegaVelecka continued quote: "When he was still in the band in the later stages, we got to the point where anyone of us was likely to tear his throat out at any minute because he was so impossible... "

That's very friendly and sane Roger W. for you.

Oh, and YES, John Lennon can be a valid reason for doing or not doing anything, have you got it yet?

[JamesOscar]

@77doriella hell yes! someone put it in words! waters is a very talented songwriter.....he learned all he knows from syd.......

[77doriella]

iF ONLY THE BAND HADNT DISCARDED SYD THEY COULD HAVE BEEN ( REALLY ) GREAT.

[Barkonetwothree]

I do agree with you in that Syd was great, and that he was one of the best Psychedelic song writers/singer, but I don't think that you can just blame PF on dumping or "discarding" him. David Gilmour helped him alot after, as well as helping with these albums. Also, If you had a band that had a member that was slowly becoming mentally unstable,and going to concerts and just stand at the side sometimes playing one cord, or just open strings...Also, it wasn't easy for PF to let him go...

[lonnie817]

I don't really blame them, although some of their quotes on syd bother me. The one thing that really annoys is rogers/gilmour keeping classics like bob dylan blues locked up for 30 years because it sound shockingly like a song on animals.......

[popgoiuuod]

Thanks as always Beechwood : )

Im loving all your videos..

[girlinafurrug]

...thankyou for this. (i just wish i wasn't quite as ridiculously enraptured by syd as i am!)

[toriell13]

Do you really? don't feel bad; we all have our faves... you're gonna like what you like, so go ahead & rapture... obsess if that's how you feel. Music is not a rational thing.

[jguttm]

~many thanks! You always come through with some very nice Syd material.
