I had my own Syd moment in my band. We had an absolutely virtuoso drummer whose local social scene had lead him down the path of various drugs and he became schitzophrenic. The last time I saw him we were jamming a great tune, with his signature jazz style percussion, and suddenly the drumming stopped. We looked over and my friend was unconscious on the drums. It turned out he had not taking his lithium and someone had given him half a joint to smoke. We had to call his brother to take him home to get his medicine. He looked at us like it was our fault and he took him away, never to be seen again. I heard he went to live on one of the remote Scottish islands with his parents so they could look after him. I wish he was here.

[@gmedeiros5748]

Never could figure out why the music of Syd is considered mad or eccentric as it makes perfectly good sense . The songs are picture language that use some words to describe other things dissimilar yet share in dissimilarities to the extant they become one and the same thing in being representations of a same thing . It could be anything you want it to be . It does not matter so long as it’s never the same thing it pretends to be . The lyrics prove Syd was not insane but everything else was insane or beyond languages ability therefore things had to be dissimilar it ways to hide the pure sanity the picture of words painted William Blake was adept at this art . This Cant is a sort of Brit troubadour crossed with Melancholy Dandy in the tradition of Werther . It was a musical form of heroic frenzy that was reaching into the bottom of Pandora’s box like child and a cookie jar . Very well done career and legacy . Nothing sad about Syd or his music . A artist is not one that creates masterpieces but makes the masterpiece your imagination makes the art

Pink Floyd's dilemma at the time was playing underground freeform music in ufo, making pop tunes for the charts. These two worlds both collided and with the expectation of producing more hits.

I love that Waters is so sad and grieving about what happened to Syd, but not so sad that he made a career out of exploiting that 'grief' in public over 3 Floyd albums. There are many reasons why Animals is my favorite Floyd album, not the least of which is Waters turning to a different subject, and not feeding on the Barrett mythos. It is just distasteful to me in retrospect. It is vague enough on Dark Side to be ok, but l can't listen to WYWH anymore, to say nothing of The Wall, which is just the first Waters solo album. For me the Floyd ends with Animals. Also, by the way, the only Floyd album that has a happy ending, in spite of the 'bleak' reputation the album has these days.

I think, from similar experiences, he wanted out. He was the brains of it and everyone else depended on him to create the next thing and then the next - pressure pressure pressure - so he would take them all to the next level of fun, fame and fortune ... And that includes all the entourage of business people, the friends and groupies who are living vicariously through a friend's success ... He saw it all as BS, as not fun anymore and he wanted out ... His way to get out was to become uncooperative - so that others would have to ditch him - and then reclusive, to prevent other people latching on to him to use him, hoping his known name would make them famous too. I've been through that myself with music projects.

He was the superstar of the first iteration of Floyd,its so sad 😢dave Gilmore got rid of one of the other and songwriter in the band ,Roger waters, I don't think any of the shit in later years didn't need to happens

[@YuruCampSupermacy]

Waters got rid of Syd by replacing him with Gilmour. None of the pink Floyd members cared about Syd in the early years when they were chasing success so they never helped him out of his drug habit they have admitted to that. And later waters fired wright. After that he left the band and sued Mason and Gilmour. You don't even know the history but still hold a grudge against Gilmour. LOL.😂

Syd vicious

[@RebeccaJarisch]

WHO?

[@Boilingfrogg]

@@RebeccaJarisch Barrett was reffered to as sid vicious back in the day.

[@rickrecco143]

He didn't quit.

[@TheNakamuras098]

Kanye and syd barret album would be needed plus andre verses

[@philipthomas3938]

He's recovered from a temporary earthly paralysis and ready to reincarnate fresh anew

Syd Barrett, o Homem que não quis ser estrela

[@wallacelovecraft8942]

Nice little snip of the show. So someone actually took a picture of Syd walking about without his approval? Kinda weird. Like, it's a full on full frontal picture of the man... Why not just ask to take a picture? :-/

[@dennis8309]

Did you have to stick 'bro' in the end credits? How lame...

[@ge2623]

Better than "Bruh" Not really.

[@PUNKinDRUBLIC72]

First time I've read that Syd "quit" Floyd!

[@boke75]

Good thing he changed his first name to Syd. Imagine having two Roger's in the same band. "Roger, Roger" jokes coming up.

[@JimmyCook-x7v]

I've always wished the would get back together and just sort out the bull shit and do it for Syd and the fans could you imagine what Roger waters and David Gilmore could do now wish roger would get his voice out using pink Floyd but no that will never happen so sad and childish 💔

[@Patrick-hf5yi]

How is Sid even closely regarded to as being great or a legend. He was in a band for a short time, a limited role and that was a million years ago. Lennon yes, Cobain yes, Collins yes, Jagger yes, Knofler yes, Gilmour yes etc etc. Sid no no no.

[@alcidebava1854]

Mi viene da piangere. Lui ha creato tutto e come ringraziamento è stato abbandonato

[@pippo9830]

non è stato abbandonato, la band ha registrato diversi dischi per lui anche dopo la separazione, era diventato semplicemente impossibile lavorare con lui. d'altra parte è lui ad aver scelto di bruciarsi il cervello con l'LSD, il gruppo ha cercato di aiutarlo in ogni modo possibile ma non era né in grado di stare su un palco, né di registrare, né di avere una conversazione normale purtroppo. È una storia tragica ma parlare di abbandono è ingiusto nei confronti dei membri del gruppo

[@sexobscura]

Non ha creato "tutto", ma, sì, è stato decisamente abbandonato da coloro che avrebbero dovuto essere più comprensivi (indipendentemente da ciò che Waters dice della loro "situazione" in quel momento)

[@sexobscura]

@@pippo9830 Smetti di accettare la versione di Waters della realtà (che è il suo egoismo e l'ammorbidimento della coscienza). Barrett NON ha "bruciato il suo cervello con l'LSD" come ripeti. Si rifiutò semplicemente di farsi dirottare dal sensazionalismo e così si allontanò dagli artigli distruttivi dei media che erano imminenti e fiorì nell'artista che sarebbe sempre diventato; Non è una cosa così difficile da fare se hai un senso del carattere e / o della dignità. E questo significava semplicemente che non sarebbe più stato nella band che aveva creato.

[@SunshineSuperstar]

I'd love to see this idea researched and made into a video!

[@canopener505ify]

Not really, he became unreliable to put it modestly. They had no choice but to move on.

Nothing like being controversial after you've died.
