is that the guitarist from roxy music playing the solo he is very good at syd bits

@jaldorian Yep, Phil Manzanera. He played on the whole tour.

you are missing the point. Syd made something from nothing. He got them the contract because he WAS pink floyd. Maybe he was not as technically proficient of a guitar player but creatively he was beyond the others. There could not have been a Dark Side of the Moon without Astronomy Domine. On Interstellar Overdrive he does some pretty amazing and unprecedented things with the guitar.

Gilmour admits to ridding his coat tails via the Barrett statue in the High Hopes video and in interviews.

[vivace679]

Well it was his band. He named it. He got them through the underground and to fame and a record deal. If his behavior was too much for them to cope with then they should have formed a new band without him instead of ridding his coat tails for the rest of their careers and creating song after song after song about poor ol crazy Syd.

Nothing without him came close to the creative level of Piper which certainly much of which derived. Take Up Thy Stethoscope and Walk is all we were left with...

Gilmour does a respectable job on the Syd songs... Especially on Dark Globe.

Well I like most pink floyd, but man, Syd was the shit. Syd was brilliant. Listen to this then listen to Syd's take on it. It's laughable. Nobody can cover Syd and make it better. He is my brother in Mental Illness and all of us who know know.

only Syd is Syd

R.I.P. Golden Boy

Syd was rocks greatest Asyd (acid) casualty. His music and talents will surely be missed.

@bassmasta9845223 you could be right but like gilmour says "theres some good songs on there"

i wouldnt even call him crazy as such, seems like he had some kind of breakdown partialy drug induced or not but yea i can see why the other band members would get pissed off with him walkig of stage and the like.

drug induced mental problems are quite common in early 20's but you can hardly call him vegetableman lol

[bassmasta9845223]

@dayoflords Should've kept him in the band? He was an artistic genius, but he still went crazy..

[dayoflords]

should kept him in the band syd was d man

LEGEND ))))
