Dewd get a grip. He was already mentaly ill and went over the edge on Ludes, (Mandrax in England) not LSD. That takes nothing away from his genius. Just a very sad tale. RIP Syd!

Taking lsd may have made him realize his perceived genius the public had was way more then he knew he had. He may have simply run out of creative gas early on, and realized he really had no more to contribute. If this was the case, I'm sure it played hard on his mind to the point of deep depression. Seems like the other band members (especially gilmore), kind of elude to this from interviews over the years.
Barrett truly believed in what he did without making a profit out of it he also didn't played the saint like many artist did at that time. He just lost all trust in friends and the music buisiness so he went back to his family. Most people didn't understand his vision so they blamed it all on the acid. He is never diagnosed on shizofrenia by any doctor.
Just stunning.... Lennon, Harrison, and it even looks like Yoko walking straight past John. The things Syd Barrett can do with a guitar... blow me away.
It's amazing the sounds you can get with a Danelectro guitar, Zippo lighter and a Binson echo box !! Any guitar player today can easily replicate those sounds yet back in 1966-67 this was groundbreaking!!!
It was just called the Standard in my old catalog. The re-issue is called a DC-59. I think DC is for Double Cutaway, and 1959 was the year it was introduced.
He didn't acutally lose his head. Way too many people think that. When he took LSD he seen that he couldn't get what he wanted out of life if he was famous so he withdrew from that lifestyle to paint, bike, make music, and live in peace. Unfotunately media always tried to find him and piss him off up until his death in 2006.
silly.. sad people still believe such propaganda. Sadder still is allowing Syd to become the poster child for such gibberish. Drugs are bad, but for some reason alot of folks feel justified in flat out lying in order to further the cruscade against them..
Im curious how many of these anti drug propaganda yuppies take anti depressants and other prescribed drugs. Such a funny world- we trash people who use recreational drugs and yet anytime we get a mental 'boo boo' we immediately run to the cover of a shrink who prescribes drugs.. Nasty drugs mind you.
Nothing like coming to a pink floyd discussion and having to deal with anti drug jackasses.. I blow smoke in all of your faces ya losers
All useless fucked up druggies think like you, that everyone has their crutch and that the only difference is the legality.
The is the perspective and argument of a fucked up druggie.
Drugs ruined the lives of thousands of musicians (let alone everyone else) some famous, and many, many more who idolized the famous. It cracks Me up when people rave about The Environment, and then stuff themselves with drugs. Whatever. I just came here to check out the music because I'm a player.
I am not 'getting' anything and haven't since 1979. If you want what I took that turned me away from drugs then you are several sandwiches short of a picnic. I can't understand why I've been so ridiculed by warning against LSD here on a video of a famous acid casualty. Do these idiots really think the what happened to Syd was 'cool'? Do they want that same fate? I'm not Joe Friday, I'm speaking from my own direct experience, you childish loser morons.
ok you overanalyzing hypocritical geriatric fuck, you take a joke from me, not criticism, a joke and come back with insult..just because you cant handle your LSD, commonly due to insecurity, doesnt mean it cant be used effectively or responsibly to learn more about ones self, it simply gives you the ability to see things differently, from another perspective...why are you warning people not to experience the same thing you have, the same experience that made you who you are, so shut the hell up
Does it not make sense to warn others of your bad and dangerous experiences? And btw idiot, Syd and Brian Jones couldn't handle it either. If you want to have a 'psychedelic' experience there are other Far less dangerous ways. Street drugs are Always a risk, and I don't think they're worth the risk. And also, it's No Joke. Go make fun of a rape victim too while you're at it you insensitive creep!
@popgoiuuod I took a lot of acid in my young days, fair enough it did fuck my head up but i handled it... Then lately with very serious family problems the doctor gave me anti-depressants -- They did truely fuk my head up far worse than any trip i took when i was young, i stopped taking them as soon as i realised wot was going on.. there is a lot of perscribed drugs out there alot more dangerous. just cus your doctor gave it to you doesn't mean it wont fuk u up!!
@waynealarsen What the fuck makes you say that? Why would he do so? Syd was an exstremely talented and creative musician. Then one day he changed. Why in the love of god would Roger do such a thing? I do get that this som kind of joke, but it aint funny and ...
@MrFunkyDung thanks for trying to understand my point of view. they didn't even tell Syd their plan. they just , one day didn't pick him up to go to the studio. if you ever get the chance to listen to some of the late Floyd Bootlegs from the end if '67 Syd's guitar playing is outstanding! the song Millionaire is my Fave.
@nizzle2 i don't think his life was the peaceful fairytale you describe...he just missed his point and never recovered it...and it must have been very painful...sadly
E' incredibile il potere che ha questa musica...è assolutamente allucinogena, straordinariamente impressionante...
Posso solo dire: che grande fortuna che hanno avuto tutte quelle persone ad essere lì, nel 1966, ad una manifestazione così dei Pink Floyd con SYD BARRETT.
