Syd Barrett - Arnold Layne

[randypan71]

sounds like the normal version on 33rpm

[feuggin]

the music that invented psychadelic

[tomoxolos]

or they pitched it a half tone...who knows what s original

[tomoxolos]

its to slow ...a half tone deeper

[salvadory]

the opening segment is a good analogy of roger waters and his personality to control pink floyd- and second there needs to be a cultural move towards fluffy big hair again!

[213krek]

The bestt songgg everr

[tonygmilan7]

2:27

EPIC

[dropway9]

Maybe it was Roger Waters who fed Syd Barrett copious amounts of acid, knowing full well the likely long term effects. Wouldn't that clear the way for a man who viewed himself as a legendary songwriter (and rightfully so), but with Syd in the picture, knew it could never happen.

Something must be done!!!

Well another mere speculation on rock and roll. It probably amounts to nothing, but musing about it gives it a certain credence does it not?

[igspal]

@dropway9 I'VE WONDERED THE SAME THING!!! What a LOSS!!!

[peachporjipeej]

@igspal

you are also a fool for siding with that idiot dropway9, you dont really think everybody likes this world? you don't really think everyone is trying to keep their sanity and be normal everyday? so we can all be perfect happy citizens in our perfect happy grey world? so what if Syd liked acid? he seemed trapped in a limiting bland society, he put some brief wonder and potential into us all, then went on his way.

you really don't need to propagate some ridiculous notion of foul play

[igspal]

@peachporjipeej It just seems sketchy, since MANY people (but, mostly wealthy musicians) did ALOT of acid, pot, downers, etc., yet HE's the ONLY one who ended up the way he did?. I mean, either they up and DIED all of a sudden, or they GRADUALLY became SLIGHTLY brain damaged...Syd it seems, was HIGHLY artistic AND very intelligient (according to some interviews I've seen of him PRIOR to his mental breakdown)...his last (coherent) one, I believe, was in '67...then THAT SAME YEAR, from what I

[igspal]

@peachporjipeej

[cont'd]

...understand, is when he became SEVERELY brain damaged (becoming TOTALLY incoherent, including losing ALL his artistic abilities AND LUST FOR LIFE) and never recovered!?! Btw, from what I understand, he didn't find life DULL prior...UNLIKE most, he seemed to ENJOY LIFE PRIOR, and only became introverted, etc. AFTERWARDS!

[igspal]

@peachporjipeej To sum up, I'm NOT saying FOR SURE that there must've been foul play, I'm just saying, MAYBE???

[peachporjipeej]

@dropway9 you sir, are an idiot.

you don't think somebody as unique and expressive as Syd would absolutely love acid? the multidimensional escape from this shallow lamentable society? he was a free spirit.

"Knowing full well the likely long term effects" hahahaha how old are you?

no no go on, your on to a real conspiracy there...

[LnTREis]

Who's the girl?

[Benjoreally]

@LnTREis A chick whos probably in her 70s by now.

26 panty-stealing, cross-dressing pervert miscreants didn't like this video!

[TheBeatlefloyd]

2:25 roger please spread those legs a little more ;)

[valaurwen]

He is beyond delicious!!!! Something about him is just otherworldly but at the same time not at all. Like this earthly adonis. Gah! Reminds me of one of Byron's tragic heroes. The thoroughly gorgeous and beautifully brilliant Barrett.

[13thleos]

[heske1964]

without Syd, popmusic would never be the same

[47gRape]

syd's soo cute...

[RipScissor]

Why do I get the feeling Roger Waters fighting Syd Barrett wasn't originally planned?

[madcapblue1]

1:09 yummy look

[TheBeatlefloyd]

2:44 ... ROGER IS A VAMPIRE :O, NO EDWARD ROGER HE'S GAY

But i would still have his babies anyways, if they ever invent time machines, maybe i will ;)

[alexandre74456]

@TheBeatlefloyd i have met roger and he has a very weird vibe.....

K, I'm really done this time lol.

[candysays69]

His face from 1:10-1:16...RAWR!

[alexandre74456]

this is too dark syd kneeling in front of roger who looks like boris karloff with bela lugosi's cape on all before a church not very comforting also threatening him with a clenched fist........MR WATERS COULD YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN.........

[madcapblue1]

yes beautiful syd angel!! when i gave birth to my baby on superbowl sunday this year. the nurse through the intercom said "paging dr arnold layne!! "paging dr arnold layne. i was in pain but stood up and staggered looking for this dr! lol . glad i had a total syd expieriance. wonder what that dr looked like.

[MrScarleteagle]

@madcapblue1 LOL that Dr. was busy sniffing pantyhose

[SydzDarling4Eternity]

I love you my sweet innocent, & SEXY Syd~Angel~Baby

[samuelmichaud]

Roger Barrett was not insane. He was a bit odd or off, but no mental problems.

Syd Barrett is insane from drugs he went coo coo and Gilmore/Waters are such good guys to sing pretty songs in honor of their old "friend".

Go ahead, do your research. Worst he had was perhaps a mild form of autism.

[HohMahGawd]

@samuelmichaud It's possible that he could have had a mental illness and the drugs he used sped up the process of becomming who he would ultimately be destined to be...just pointing that out...insane or not, the man was clearly a genius

[samuelmichaud]

@HohMahGawd See I'm telling you, I have a good long article that points out all the reasons without flaw as to how he wasn't mentally ill, at all. Witnesses, all the mental doctors, everyone except Pink Floyd.

[AnUnlimitedRecord]

@HohMahGawd genetic predisposition

[MrSartori69]

stuff and non sensense barrett lives on throught gilmore

[JudeBarrett]

Syd: "WHY CAN'T YOU SEE???" *points* *stares at finger*

"WHAT IS THIS THING????"

[emzie66]

what a handsome man syd barrett was :)

[wolfen682]

Roger stop bullying Syd?

[berlinforxmas]

Shine On Sid...

[KatelynsAwesome]

@berlinforxmas **Syd

You disappoint me.

[wpk5009]

@loljkidklmao you haven't seen pictures of him after he went all the way?

[HarrisonRae]

Pink Floyd's response to Penny Lane. Pink Floyd wins.

[darioshow]

@HarrisonRae The Beatles always win

[HarrisonRae]

@darioshow It's not really a competition. I'm just glad both made such good music. Don't you feel the same.

[66MadcapLaughs]

[dannyhood66]

Yeah, I heard about that guy'' ,I think he was watching rogers moms foreign exchange students along with roger during that period?..I thought it was written about roger,''and nobody ever talked about it,''They just knew about it and kept quite about the hole thing''..Even though it turned out a hit pop song..'' Because back then roger looked like a peeping tom..!hA''. I read about it in saucerful of secrets.''But from reading it, i came up with my own theory cause youtube is full own theories.

[bizzarro76]

In my opnion this era of Pink Floyd was the BEST>>>>>>Don't you think?????

[gbyrne]

If your interested in rodger'syd' barret check out the definitive biography by rob chapman "A VERY IRREGULAR HEAD" much better than all the bullshit written obout syd over the years.Well worth a read!

[acerflots]

hilarious and sincere and weird, i love it

First 20 seconds I was laughing so hard, and I don't know why. XD What the hell is Nick doing?? XP

[BruvuraPistada]

Shine on Sid!!!

[WillShakespeare2007]

Roger Waters literally fighting the band even back then.

[pierlu984]

very nice!!

[maximusrex1979]

Here's a question. If Syd was able to come back to life and rewind the clock, do you think he would've made the same decisions (the drugs, becoming a recluse, leaving behind a potential hall of fame career) or would he accepted the fact he was going to be an icon?

I mean, some people say he chose freedom over slavery to the record labels and touring. Valid point. But he could've done much more with his talent than he did.

[amtlpaul]

@maximusrex1979 Who knows, but I suspect he would have stuck to painting and not got involved in the music business in the first place.

[JamesOscar]

@amtlpaul totally agree... syd was all about the painting

[foxfucks]

best song forever.........

[urielguez]

He's living freedom

[fingerprint211b]

@urielguez OR IS HE?

[urielguez]

Syd isn't resting in peace, is living the best

[thomasjleet]

Sad Syd lost his mind. Pink Floyd was never the same, but still great, after Syd lost it.

[fingerprint211b]

@thomasjleet OR WERE THEY?

[TheKenTerry]

Excuse me, but this is The Pink Floyd's "Arnold Layne",,,,just saying.

[fingerprint211b]

@TheKenTerry OR IS IT?

Yea, it is, Mr. Troll.

[paisleyization]

Look at his face at 1:12

SPLENDID!!!!

I love how Syd sings "Arnold Layne, don't do it again" at 2:46 :)

RIP

[XxKyokoSamaXx]

I LOVE THIS VERSION OF THE VID

[kayway9]

poor old syd :(

[Feisty1967]

When did Roger Waters come into it?

[LaGoonch]

@Feisty1967

Waters was always in Pink Floyd, its David that came late, and he came in 1968.

[simonpenum]

Roger Waters looks like one of the heads on Easter Island

[patsyd80]

@simonpenum lmfao. you got it spot on mate.

[WoodRatGirl]

@simonpenum

He does lol.

[stophiemeister]

@simonpenum LOL!!!

[sehmir79]

AVE SYD!!!!!!

[januschau]

Sid Barett is Pink Floyd and Pink Floyd is Sid Barett

[MariRonconi]

I LOVE THAT FACE! (2)! I love Syd.

[asktunes]

How awesome is this! I love Syd so much that when I had the chance to study abroad, I chose Cambridge, England, so I could try & find him! Sadly, I didn't. But it was nice just to walk the streets where he tread...

[rjrichard7]

Good acid

[dannyhood66]

Sid is making some kind of statement at 1:10 i think? Probably the first to do something like that on a music vid for TV at the time? Maybe I'm wrong i don't know that for sure..

[brillianthurrah1957]

@dannyhood66 Sorry to disappoint you...the song is about a chap who knicks underwear off washing lines (honest!).......

[kahakai67la]

syd is soooooooooooo cute

[Reint25]

I can't believe the harmonies and chord changes of songs like this and See Emily Play. They're weird, but they're perfect pop songs!

[3ombieautopilot]

uh.. That's why Syd left the band..

[overban888]

they was fighting

[mattbfc2009]

moon shine washing line, they suit him fine hahahahah

[johnnycheck99]

This must have been the best Pink Floyd period- i mean 'another brick in the wall' and all that is garbage man.

[klaypeople]

@johnnycheck99 Fuck you, another brick in the wall was an awesome song. Along with every bit of the rest of their stuff. This stuff is the best maybe, but still. Not garbage, dang.

[johnnycheck99]

@klaypeople And Fuck you too, you fucking ignorant arsehole. I will give my opinion on any music i see fit. Cretin.

[goiggle]

@johnnycheck99 Why don't you two just FUCK EACH OTHER?

[Traydon3211]

@klaypeople and Johnnycheck99 another brick in the wall was 3 songs

just wanted to put that out there and also

i used to think alot of their other stuff sucked but now i like it more than this but this is still truly amazing except i cant stand a momentary lapse of reason i hate it alot dont really like the division bell or the final cut too much but i love all the stuff from the piper to the wall. my favorite album is probably either wish you were here or Obscured By Clouds

[dyricci23]

Had a boyfiend in the '90s that would wake me up in the morning singing Syd, sitting in my kitchen window, on his acoustic guitar. Makes me smile everytime I hear this... :)

[deanofoy]

i fukin love pink floyd

[360twentyfourseven]

Does anybody else think the one walking around is funny? Who is it? And is Syd wearing the furry vest thing?

[sigmundfloyder]

@360twentyfourseven It is Rick Wright. yeah its cute.

[jwild611]

Syd was not just a brilliant lyricist and visionary but he was also innovative as a guitar player. The riffs in this song would still sound fresh if it were released today.

[loljkidklmao]

[keyboard55]

roger waters vs syd barret ha ha! nice one

[natodad]

I was in the generation right after the psychedelic age (born in 61). I watched people I thought were adults, but who were only kids, fry their brains on drugs (and make good music).  Sorry to be a downer but I watched people close to me waste themselves, transform from beautiful people into blithering fools. I listen to his music and =while perversely, I like some of it, the overriding sense I get, the feeling that pervades me, is the ill effects of drugs.

[loljkidklmao]

So, Syd Barrett has to be one of the most attractive people to ever live.

[66MadcapLaughs]

@loljkidklmao Most DEFINETLY♥♥♥♥!!!!!!!!!! ♥Syd~Angel♥ IS DROP DEAD GORGEOUS♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­SUCH A BEAUTIFUL BRITISH BRUNETTE HE IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!♥♥♥♥♥♥♥­♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

@loljkidklmao DAMN right he IS♥♥♥♥

[Jteether]

@loljkidklmao The picture of him from when he showed up at the recording of Wish You Were Here is really unnerving though :S

[KatelynsAwesome]

@loljkidklmao And he always will be.

[clumpft]

@loljkidklmao Not gay, but I don't think I would have kicked Syd outa bed.

[CoolGreenAppler]

@clumpft Same.

[maxeypad]

Syd was the man. Early pink floyd is where its at.

[Iggytheman]

@maxeypad all pink floyd is where its at :)

[fingerprint211b]

@maxeypad OR IS IT?

[knickd1979]

its rare to see syd so animated as he is here. most footage that exists is of the "ill" syd. this on the other hand was filmed before the floyd "went pop" i guess you could say, so he appears to be in good spirits and getting great joy and artistic satisfaction from making this video. his energy can be felt here, and it feels very similar to the nigel gordon film. does anyone agree? very sad when u realize that beautiful boy in the video is only months away from taking a trip that never ended

[MrKengentry]

inventive obscure and different typical floyd. nearly genious at the time.

[xerxerxex]

I love Syd Barret he helped craft one of the words most amazing bands, and I have enormous respect from him.

[teeheeetummytums]

I'm pretty sure Syd Barrett is the most beautifulest person ever. EVER.

[sellout87]

2:26-2:36

[jacksparrowismyluvr]

I think I kind of forgot how much I really loved Pink Floyd until I came across this video. : ) Glad to be reminded.

[guitarhero5100]

i never got into syd barrett (i'ma catch hell on YOUTUBEZ) but i loved roger waters. but now i am doing a project on pink floyd and i have to research barrett. he really is great, and they have a nice beatles sound. i'm also high so i'm FFS right now

[knickd1979]

@guitarhero5100 if you need any info on syd just ask. i know enough to write a book. watch out though. syd has been known to be as addictive as heroin to some. once you learn the true story about him its hard to walk away from. mostly because its so bizarre.

[kjsway]

Great Song Dude!!!

[Empyriumman]

Who's the chick at 0:38 i would totally bang her.

[ken2corfu]

Arnold Layne stool ladys under ware while on his moonlit prowls.,; a risky subject to sing about in the 60s, great stuff

[7777srd]

@ken2corfu , fucking ehh! I[ve read that the song still made the UK top 20 with the BBC refusing to play it.

[deanard]

So true!!.. Syd single handedly jump started the whole psychedelic scene with the Floyd in their early days at the UFO club in London. By the time his dimentia had taken it's toll they were already household names. Gilmour stepped in and being a guitar god and musical genius in his own right, propelled the Floyd into super stardom.. Syd will always be a rock icon..

[RayManzarekGod]

This and See Emily Play are the 2 best Syd songs.

[deanard]

Syd Barrett .. A true musical genius.. Without syd , pink Floyd would have been lost in obscurity

[RayManzarekGod]

Amen, Syd was buddies with Gilmour, and hence the reason Gilmour was his replacement, if Syd never joined, well, music today would be quite different.

[upyerkilt123]

david was not really his replacement. syd and david were both in the band at the same time for a while. Gilmour also taught syd how to play the guitar. Gilmour never replaced syd, he just took over.

[RayManzarekGod]

Aha, alright thanks.

[joedog96]

Waters and Barrett had also known eachother wince they were school children,...So the whole band basically used to be real tight since they were children! That's why his death was so dear to them...

[Mio157]

Syd will be a legend 4ever

[MIKEDURSTEWITZ]

WHY CANT YA SEE?! Love the way he points at the camera
