i think syd barret should be left alone

Vivian Stanshall does he exist? Or was he him?

Syd Barrett, right out the Gate, the Original "Beat Box".

I’ve been saying fir decades…BONZOS BELONG IN THE RnR HOF….once some idiot there realizes all they did and just how influential they were!!

Some of this early music reminds me of a cross between The Doors and The B52s. I can't explain it...

We had a local "art" band in Cleveland kinda like this. Redness. Awesome fun @ live events.

Two stories that have a number of things in common is Syd with Pink Floyd and Brian Wilson with the Beach Boys.

David Gilmour standing up for Syd is a sweet story. Gilmour looked after him quite well...well as he could.

The early years made them a household name. It is a shame things worked out the way they did.

Nobody saved him, if someone's doing too many drugs (psychedelics in this case) you stop him/her AGAINST HIS/HER WILL for their own good. They let him die, just like they let this people die: Lennon, Kurt Cobain, Hendrix, Morrison, Joplin... Donald Trump :v

Duggie has great teeth

definitely had that star quality, who knows what kind of impact he would've had if he had kept going. His music already influenced many people and he didn't do it for a long time.

I think its more like what happened with John frusciante after BSSM dropped the paranoia of realising your now unable to hide and people focus on you mixed with drugs is the recipe for the end

Syd Schmid .The best thing that happened is he left... He was a Clown 🤡 .....

Pink Froyd 🤘🏻

Fancy telling your mum to fuck off. Fancy belittling your friend and girlfriend like that. How arrogant.

Syd saw the wheels turn inside those who interacted with him--they would correlate about him and evolve and he would see them change while they were unaware of themselves--he wanted to put this into his music but found the inflexibility of those around him to grasp his meaning--nearly intolerable--he began drifting away from convention into the unknown. He wanted to access inspiration as it coelesed in the moment instead of putting it out after it had been in him. "Have you got it yet?" Because whatever you do can change if it is real expression--but we don't read minds--so Syd suffered.

We hear testimony of Sid doing acid for 7 days straight, his girlfriend is worried about this, and every thing he does after this day , he is described as " no longer the same" , weird, odd , simplistic etc, and nobody wants to blame the acid, but consider other imagined factors.

idk but nothing disturbs me as much as Syd's story. Every time I watch these videos or read about him and what happened to him just burdens my soul to an extreme degree

Stephen Fry is a comedic genius but no one can match Viv.

For Pink Floyd as a creative unit, the best thing that ever happened to them was the exit of Syd. Come on folks, it's the Emperors New Clothes, early Floyd is self-indulgent shit. Can you imagine Syd , even when well, making Dark Side? Nah...he had no talent as a musician. David Gilmour blew him out of the water....the Roger Water ! Oh these fuck heads that took a bit of LSD 50 years ago and now look back at the shit music they danced too, in their youth ?? It's sad. Yeah it was was fun for you I'm sure, but come on......what do you really hink Syd would had contributed to The Dark Side of the Moon?.....a badly played Farfisha organ?, bit of Tambourine? Some Minor chords on a shit guitar. Let's get real.

flat

"Free upbringing"? "Fuck off Mum"? Is not free upbringing. It is no upbringing. A Victorian lbringing like being in time for meals is not a Victorian upbringing. It is quite common and normal. I am not British and I was taught to be in time for meals and be home at a certain time when I was a teenager.

I think now, he was a really good guy ❤ Funny,Loveable, charming, clever, a bit crazy 🤓🥰 talented And of course , damn cute , handsome and Stunning 🌻💔❤️

Gotta be careful over doing Acid! Saw the light go out of eyes of many friends. Never were the same.

Acid psychosis... i suspect other things at play, but we'll never know. Rest In Power Syd

Who is this old fart?

I have loved many bands but I think this one influenced me more than any other. The humor.

Sad reality. Syd needed his bros when he was getting down. Very easy to say he was going through Schizophrenia, No. Of course not. He needed help. Where was Roger Waters at this point?? It’s sad .

Syd, the most amazing guy. The rest is just a product who left him behind

The whole society was insane at the time..

@2;27 you can see the dudes dick in his yoga pants

We in these times need another band like these guys. To much woke shite around we are here for three score and ten make it the best you can for you and yours your a long time deid 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The most underrated band of their time brilliant

Syd should have been fired when he refused to play on the top of the pops.

I wanna know where do all the Genius’s go?…….shine on where Eva u r Sid 💫

I've seen the Syd Barrett story play out in my own life. Just without the fame of a band. Where people who are already having trouble straddling the line between sane and insane start a heavy rotation of psychedelics. And out of our little circle of two dozen people who were doing this, two were never right again, though still functional, while two dudes ended up in and out of institutions the next 3 decades, their original personality nowhere to be found. That's why after decades of drug use, I always maintained that acid was the most dangerous, even though when I was a teenager, it was presented as like the next step after weed. For some guys I knew. they'd have been better off trying crack or heroin.

The sweet essence of giraffe is sour without Viv.

The sweet essence of giraffe

Each Saturday morning for going on 10 years now, I tune into a syndicated radio show "Floydian Slip" Craig Bailey,the host is a veritable Floyd historian, awesome host and I learn the back story of the Floyd each week, something new. Syd Barrett was the nucleus of Pink Floyd and whenever his name is mentioned or I hear the song SOYCD, I am digging through the internet to learn more about Syd Barrett, the musical genius, his solo work, interviews and anything thing he ever worked on ... Hats off to a great Human Being and thank you for your musical vision and inspiration.

Careful with that axe.

I heard dave Gilmore tell this story, Sid dissapeared he droped acid 7 day in a row, He was late for a gig, So they found him face down in a gutter and he blew his mind

Tits clear 2 me

He was spoiled by a single mom. Simple

Brandy deserves an S !

The Bonzos led me to the Mothers. Thanks Viv.

Though I am sure the drug usage was a major contributor, I feel this man was an artist who, realizing the detrimental effect the commercial aspect of the music has in his creativity, either consciousnessly or unconsciously decided he would continue to create when and where he felt actual creative energies were present, and not just a regurgitation of a previous experience. Unfortunately pop music or "pop" anything eventually becomes just that. As an artist, the urge to feel the freshness which comes from raw exploration of sensory experience can be lost when one is prompted to produce that experience in a particular medium for an audience. Many times that leaves the artist feeling lost, alone, and quite frankly.....mad. ❤rip Sid😊

syd was a drug addict not an artist

"Top of the Pops" ... "I was furious" .. 2@ "I suggest blah blah blah " said the hyper boring Norman Smith dude. I wonder who else he managed to undermine in his quest for gold. "almost ignoring " ... I wonder if Norman was one of those 'music business' people that quashed Syds interest. I bet he was ..2@
