@harveydents Correct!
And SYD overrated but thats mho ...

How would it be an insult if she didn't know who he was? She knows now doesn't she. You don't just come out of the womb with a knowledge of rock music. You have to discover these things in your own time.

@pesmith8768 None of us 'know who Syd Barret was'. All we know is his work - the wonderful collection of single-minded expression. Unique. The band were great then too; young and wiry; lean yet rich-sounding. The thing is, if this little 'documentary' brings more 'salutes' to Syd then....ah what the fuck am I going on about? it's shit isn't it! Give her some acid and do her over her stupid chair....ice cream...tastes good if you eat it soon ! Good day!

Syd was not on acid in that short movie,just a bunch of crap,David Gale is in that movie and said, that syd was only immitating someone on acid.
-
@93hipgnosis wrong....he changed it based on a SAXOPHONIST in his hometown...he changed it SYD because the drummers name was SID Barrett.
-
I don't understand why everyone is upset with the girl doing these videos, she simply narrates it you don't need to be a Syd Barrett expert to read his Wikipedia page out loud...
-
From what I hear Syd chaged his name after a drug not a drummer.
-
wtf? no I dont want to see myself as a cartoon no I dont want to pimp my phone with a new ring tone. whats happening to youtube? I just wanna watch a vid about syd barret.
-
to be fair, she probably does tons of these things without knowing anything about the subject. the producers are the ones at fault, telling syd's story this way just dumbs it down; shes only doing her job.
yes, read that cue card you little tart

"Syd, we salute you" She has absolutely no clue who Pink Floyd is, let alone Syd Barrett, what an insult.
