  • retarded i laughed out loud

  • i don't think syd ever gave a single fuck in his life

  • Comparing Syd Barret to David Gilmour is like.....nevermind there isn't a comparison. We wouldn't even be talking about Floyd today if it wasn't for Gilmour. He helped write and record some of the greatest albums of all time. Quit trying to be fucking fanboys and act as if Syd Barrett was some kind of genius. The songs suck and are as boring as watching paint fucking dry. They shouldn't even be called Pink Floyd imo.

  • @gl797 I can only imagine that you are a young bloke. Pink Floyd were an amazing & extremely influential band with Syd Barrett. I can tell you now that it was nothing like watching paint dry. I love both Pink Floyds the older psychedelic version & the current commercial/accessible version. Both versions have been relevant through Rock's history.

  • @greenypete Well if you consider 47 young..then yes. "Commercial/accessible"?..I don't think there's many 13 year old girls who had "Animals", nor even DSOTM in their collection. I think a better description is "Mediocre (at best) & Great".

  • @gl797 I'm 60 so I guess I appreciate the relevance of the reeely old stuff & how outstanding it was back then. I didn't mean accessible in a disrepectful sense, DSOTM is one of the greatest efforts in musical history from any age & isn't incredible that after all of these years it still seems so fresh & beautiful.

  • christ atleast you tried

  • @OhNonottheNWO I think Syd's significance in what became floyd is that he reallly inspired alot of material. The angst, grief, and insanity from dark side of the moon and wish you were here seem to be relavant to Syd, even in songs that are not outright about him. I personally like Syd's music, but I agree it is different from what pink floyd became. I would say an exception would be "interstellar overdrive." that song seems more like something from the gilmour floyd.

  • I love Floyd all their stuff and I have to say Barrett was a key factor to Floyd. He inspired waters to right wish you were here, shine on you crazy diamond and a few other classic Floyd tracks. Also, think about the song Interstellar Overdrive off their first album when Syd was the one leading there direction. Don’t you think interstellar overdrive lead floyd in the direction of making songs such as echoes, careful with that axe Eugene, and one of these days and many others.

  • Also Syds so called none sense hippy lyrics songs are great for example Astronomy Domine, apples and oranges, Lucifer Sam. See Emily play a song written by Syd Barrett, is included in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll list. It takes genius to even be considered to be on that list let alone make it on

  • And for those who say he had no guitar talent let’s see you create a song like interstellar overdrive on guitar. Yes I agree Gilmore is the better guitar player but I still think Syds experimental work deserves respect. So to all you making Syd sound like he’s no big deal your wrong.

    -life is a short warm moment death is a long cold rest- RIP Syd Barret

  • Im wondering how the top comments are not anything to do with the fact that whoever made this video is retarded but obviously has good taste in music otherwise wouldn't know who these guys are....

  • fuck off you cunt

    

  • Syd and David got on really well, infact it was David and Richard that co-produced his 2 solo albums, I don;t think Syd held that much against him. He was basically his own worst enemy, and Syd knew it too.

  • @R33Racer ur wrong....Syd did indeed have a prob w/david. David himself said that b4 Syd got real bad and stopped going out all together that Syd would come to their shows and stand front row rt in front of David and just stare at him the whole show. David said it really creeped him out and that he did feel a tension from him. So yes they worked together but Syd did not like David much at all. This is straight from the horses mouth.

  • @trxxxtr Reference?

  • @R33Racer its from an interview of david. i'll look when i get home to see which video it was on. i'm outta town rt now...in a band. but i will def let u know cause its true. just thought u would wanna know the truth.

  • @trxxxtr Suit yourself.

  • @R33Racer well fuck you then u lil punk bitch! find it ur damn self! next time get ur facts straight b4 coming on here and acting like u know wat the fuck ur tlkn about. i was just trying to keep u from looking like a fool....but...now u do and theres no help for ya! ur credibility is shot.

  • hahahahahahahhahahahhahahh!!!!­!

  • It took Bob Close's leaving to transform them from a garage band to the pink floyd sound, and it took the sacking of Syd for them to achieve real success as Pink Floyd (no more "the" or "sound"). If Syd were to not have been ousted from the band, we'd never have heard the likes of Meddle, DSotM, WYWH, The Wall, and heck, even the final cut (even though it's often considered a Waters solo work, a great underrated but whiny album). Pink Floyd would have been but a flash in the pan had Syd stayed.

  • @all of you, toast and marmalade is really tasty, honestly, it's delicious. If you ever get sick of cereal one morning, have some toast with marmalade, it'll change the way you think about breakfast forever. You can eat it any time of day, though.

  • What a nasty bastard.

  • What a JERK...he should've been thankin' Syd for the inspiration...some of the Floyd's greatest work was about or inspired by Syd...he deserved to get knocked-the-fuck-out!! ..hilarious vid though!!

  • haha thats great

    

  • ROFL, classic!

  • 240p,,,,,, so we meet again

  • @baronmaul Which video did you read that comment in and COPY it? Say something you thought of yourself or stfu!

  • @Geekman333 were you simply too lazy to write shut the fuck up or do you think you are cool

  • @baronmaul Well it wasn't a question of laziness. It was more about how much time I wanted to invest on somebody who just copies and pastes YouTube comments rather than thinking of something original to say. I don't have time for 'cool'. Cool is for sheep.

  • @Geekman333 i did copy it but i took my time to write it and since you're already spending time watching pointless videos on the internet why bother wasting more of your time on me in the first place.

  • @baronmaul Not sure what your point is...and to be fair, I kinda took my frustration out on you. You probably don't deserve it. But I ask you...aren't you also tired of arrows to the knee and 'oh I'm in THAT part of YouTube again'?

  • @Geekman333 im not sure what you mean with THAT part of youtube and have you played bethesda's masterpiece skyrim

  • @baronmaul I'm so 'uncool' I don't even know what that is so...no, I haven't.

  • @Geekman333 it is the best game ever made and i highly recommend it

  • It's the Arnold Layne bit and the crap editing that makes this video funny.

  • wat the hell did i just watch? lol

  • This is FUNNY!!

  • Wow! That doesn't seem the least bit edited.

    That sucks so much that its good

  • Buahahaha!

  • trolololololololololol

  • i think he was talking of the pizza delivery man who just dropped off a few with extra cheeese!

  • LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • It looked a little Python-esque to me .

  • pink floyd develop a sound thanks to SYD, gilmour a genius but SYD had the mojo

  • HAHAHAHA!

  • ROFL

  • Syd was just a messed up junkie with very little talent

  • @bothrops9 i do hope your joking, different strokes for different folks i suppose

  • @hafacake  did u get that from hendrix?

  • @bothrops9 are you joking? he may have had drug problems but he was a genius arranger and songwriter

  • Sorry man but Selena Gomez/Justin Bieber are the new Pink Floyd.

  • @stomp919 Are you fucking joking?

  • @RobinTaylorJenkinsLlol yea man im joking.Iim more into Atomic Rooster and Lucifers Friend but I did listen to The Osmond Brothers and The Jackson Five when i was little.

  • @stomp919 they're not even fit to lick the lid of dave gilmores toilet

  • @hafacake lol Hafacake

  • @stomp919

    If that made sense.

  • lllooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooolll fucking great stuff

  • Well done, Syd.

  • Quite the contrary old chap. I knew you would reply back. Think of it as sarcasm.

    Anyway, nothing you say holds any water. Because nothing I say does either. Everything I said was a shot-in-the-dark assumption. And you defend it as if it were all true. You're talking out your ass because you crave intellectual dominance. No matter what I say, you will fight it. You need it. I've just been "feeding the habit". I'll give you the last word (we both know you'll reply again). Victory is yours friend.

  • @CrabJock You were correct on my behalf....although when you attempted to reply to me, you didnt direct your last message to me!? Thank goodness I checked this post before too much time lapsed! So yes, I crave intellectual dominance, I love to debate, I love to read, and I have OCD. Put the combination together and you have a real pain in the ass....especially when you try to be cute and have a superior ego!

  • I loved this video!

  • Syd also forget to headbutt Roger Waters.Actually it's was the other way round.

  • LOL!

  • stupid but funny :))

  • Gilmore you fat ass piece of shit with legs, make Syd seem like less so you can seem like more.

    YOU CAN'T WRITE

  • Comment removed

  • @mrdave777 Capitalizing WORDS randomly doesn't MAKE you smarter, nor give your argument any more merit. Sorry to BREAK it to you.

  • @CrabJock I like to CAPITALIZE words to put more EMPHASIS on that particular WORD or PHRASE. Although it doesn't make me appear any smarter, it makes my opinion maybe more VALID in my own mind. However, humility helps one understand the lack of importance in ones opinions...mankind has made it this far without peoples opinions.

  • @mrdave777 The problem with arguments/debates in today's society (mostly internet related, when a fist to the face isn't a comeback) is the balance of self importance both sides seem to posses. It's caused by being narcissistic or socially defunct. A symptom is loving the sound of one's own voice. Do you ever read what you type over and over, correcting mistakes to make it sound brilliantly perfect? Hmm? No need to answer by the way.

  • @CrabJock Attempt to impress me with such wit and charm....then just brush me off and say I don't have to answer "by the way." Are you trying to prove your point, end the discussion, and have the last word?  Well, you are a lot like me....EGO driven..worse! And your stating how I sound repetitive...just your existence here on you tube is already monotonous. I have removed most of my comments, by humility and resent for pride. What have you done today, to not appear so obnoxious?

  • @mrdave777 you guys are BADASS

    

  • @roballen2 Try listening to "Chilhood's End" from Obscured by Clouds. Gilmour REPLACED Barratt, so he didn't have the strong feelings about what happened to him, like the other band members. Floyd with Syd sounds just like every other 60's hippy band, spouting nonsense verse as if the only thing that matters is that it rymes, whereas post Barrett IS floyd, the floyd everyone knows and loves (apart from trolls and musical retards)

  • Comment removed

  • @OhNonottheNWO I love Floyd pre and post Syd. I like a lot of their movie soundtracks and such, and Syd's solo work. I disagree that they "sound like every other 60's (hippie) band." Maybe they have the same sound, but a different heart and that sets Syd and Floyd apart from the rest.

  • @OhNonottheNWO

    Pink Floyd without Gilmour is like PF without Rogers - top of the worldclass but not that unique.

    But you are wrong with one point: It was David who taught Syd playing guitar and they actually were best friends. It was hard for him to replace Syd. At first he wasn't replacing him but supporting him.

    Still we have to thank Syd for what he led to in every aspect. Waters & Gilmour are 2 pioneers, who knows if we knew them today if the story took an other way.

  • @OhNonottheNWO Dude, you're talking out of your butthole. Go tell that to someone who watched Barrett play with floyd once a week at UFO. I bet they have a diifferent opinion. That's all your comment is, is an opinion. I suggest you never tell anyone your thoughts on the "real " pink floyd ever again.

  • @smithbt84 ok...you find me someone who watched floyd play at ufo once a week, and we can ask them, 'ass'uming, of course, that they weren't smashed out of their tiny student brains on a cocktail of chemicals, and therefore unable to provide a coherent account. Maybe (bit left field, this, but here goes)...maybe they might say "Yeah...they were pretty good as I recall...course, there wasn't a lot else on...got better after Syd left...can't really mmmffhhrghfffm!!"

  • @OhNonottheNWO "mmmffhhrghfffm" < LOL A Nick Mason reference?

  • @OhNonottheNWO I think every era of Pink Floyd is great and significant, and I'm not disagreeing with you so much as I think you're a fool. I think Momentary lapse of reason is a better album than Piper, but that's my thing. Go be mister (or mrs) fucking know it all else where. faggot.

  • @OhNonottheNWO

    you really could'nt be more wrong, could you? wow..

  • @OhNonottheNWO Couldn't agree more.

  • Comment removed

  • @mrdave777 Dave Dave Dave, talk about something you know something about, (If anything) or offer an old homeless man to buy his skanky underwear and shove them in your ear so you'll have something besides shit & sawdust in your brain.

    Like that brand of charm?

  • Comment removed

  • @mrdave777 Much agreed

  • made my night!!!!

  • That's funny!

    

  • I don't think I've ever laughed that hard

  • Why does this have so many dislikes? You guys need to lighten up.

    CHEERS TO YOU, MAKER OF THIS VIDEO!

  • Thats funny because Syd Barrett head butted David Gilmour because hes relevant  lol

  • Hey, I larfed! yeah

  • Another useless vid.

    What a retard

  • Holy shit, he's a madman! Someone stop him, quick!

  • The Dark Syd of The Loon

    

  • Nice

  • bullshit

  • seems legit

    also hilarious

  • rofling on the floor omg hahahah so good

  • Seems very Monty Python-ish.

  • lmfao

  • Seems pretty legit to me, idk about you guys

  • This should have more likes. Syd was the bomb that created Floyd, deal with it.

  • @DeadBunny69

    True, and great were those few short Barrett years. However, the band needed Gilmour to... you know... grow. It was just waiting for him.

  • @DeadBunny69 Damn Straight

  • roflroflrofl Just hilarious, so simple yet so complex haha

  • this might be fake, but it's still fucking hilarious!

  • ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha arnold fucking lane

  • Maybe this is just a joke and you shouldn't take it too seriously, i like both floyd and i still find this funny.

    Get a grip

  • fucking troll -.-

  • @Dybal88 Syd was with Floyd for one album and one song on the next, Gilmour (although a stubborn prick) has been the the sound of floyd for the past 40 years - get over it!

  • so fucking stupid and lame. Gilmour was just speaking the truth. Some Barret fans dont seem to like the truth...esp. from those who have 1st hand knowledge of it.

  • that must be painfull...

  • Anyone who has an opinion about Gilmour should know exactly who Syd Barrett is... 

  • Gilmour is far better musician than this Sid Baret whaterver, never heard of him, he must be some street punk junkie

    hail Gilmour!

  • @Dybal88 umm, he founded pink floyd and created all of their concept art for albums and films

  • @Dybal88 I hope you're trolling, both of them influenced Floyd very strongly

  • @Dybal88 , idiot, you didn't hear of him because he became ill and you are an ignoramus

  • @luigiperso , although I agree about gilmour being a better musician...but so what, it's not a contest

  • @Dybal88 I smell trolls.

  • Gotta agree...extremely Pythonian (Terry Gilliam-ian ?)

  • Very Python..........

  • Ha! Wasn't sure what to expect but that made me chuckle! Great humour!
