Hold on amiga, keep your line, dedicate yourself to what and who you love. Here is a clue. The root for madness always points to ego. This particular parasite, ego, is very wrongly addressed in western culture, where publicity incites you, consciously or unconsciously, to emphasize and constantly gratify it. See everybody running after his/her 'pleasure time.' Brag on position and power. A society promoting cheaters, deceivers, or brutal people and sell it as an advanced system.. I absolute better be labeled insane but a regular dude in the damned ship of fools some are running, alongside global passive consent.. Here is some advice taken from experience. I do not work in the field but have often had to deal with crazy friends, (so are my acquaintances, mom always complained about..) and a few time happened to be helpful with 'how i understand.' The best of the fools are the artists, the only ones capable of finding useful craziness. But only to the angle they need basic quietness/happiness to create, and so struggle to get there. Creation then becomes a way to stabilize a state of being. At least for some significant while. Nobody ever created anything intelligible/sensible with madness urging inside, this is a common misconception people have. Dont know your age but if you are still in age of orienting consider. If you have no skills never too late to grasp any. Every difficult stuff you swallow is the mere sum of many little easy plays you gradually explore. (I think Confucius said this, or Lao Zee, don't remember.) Reading old wise books is also a great therapy. Everything at the end of the day is mere putting things in order in your head. This as man's chief function: run amid chaos to pick up wasted stuff and transform it pure organized gold. (This as a metaphor anything you care about can be applied to.) And don't forget. The culprit niches in the ego, often is a subconsciously embedded annoyance having something to do with childhood brainwashing. The cure is to unplug or short-circuit these social chains that are coercitive conventions. The task takes a whole life, but at least that gives a man/woman something to do. Have a good trip. :-). the fool is inspiration in this world, be it. ps. Psychiatrists are better when they acknowledge knowing nothing. The more they are rigidly certain, the more they are in the error. A few are really good, but many are dangerous crap. Choose ya well if need be.

i actually went through hell with The Wall album while my own mental illness was at it's peak in the 1980s. it had something to do with that i kept hearing stories about Syd then, and kept wondering, "oh fuck, is that happening to me too!" it was long before i understood enough about Syd, who in fact was also extremely addicted to LSD, but no one cared enough and he had some 'friends' who were lacing his coffee with it. i didn't know i had mental issues until age 15 when i began going through all the Big Pharma drug Guinea Pigging, and through holistic treatments and A.A., i've made what i consider a full recovery. Syd was in the time were drugs were encouraged all too much, and the Grateful Dead were only doing things like spiking a punch bowl. I wrote some short stories about it, that includes Waters and Syd i hope to get published. the Fact is, Syd had disappeared one long weekend, and when he was found again, he had become completely fried from LSD to the point they couldn't help him. it is part of the grief that Waters harnessed into The wall. find people like me who know what their talking about, but you also have to be open minded enough to see that the Big pharma game is just a dead end. i had to be ready to do it first, and haven't taken a med since 92, but there again, it was the support i had found also that got me off them. another guy was drummer Jim Gordon who never got the message, and what up in a hallucination stabbing his mom dead and then hanging himself in jail.

Two things. 1. According to the Beatles Anthology (a collection of interviews of the band members in there later years recalling their time together) Best was let go because of his drinking and not showing up for performances. Ringo (who was in another band at the time) Was hired anytime Best wouldn't show up. They it got to the point where they just asked Ringo to be the drummer and said good bye to Best. 2. I just think it was worth mentioning that, yes, Barret had mental issues before getting into drugs, but the craziness really steamed from the fact that the people he was living with were giving his LSD WITHOUT HIS KNOWLEGE. Knowing taking a drug like that can sometimes really mess you up, but doing it without knowing will really screw you up and make you feel more crazy then you are.
@gardenofeels68722 жыл бұрын
John Lennon said in an interview that Pete Best just "wasn't a Beatle." He didn't fit in and wasn't friendly with the rest of the band. Paul has said similar things, and Brian Epstein didn't like his drumming style very much or his standoffish personality. None of them ever mentioned a drinking problem or not showing up to shows as far as I ever heard. As far as Syd Barret is concerned, I find it extremely difficult to believe that he was dosed with LSD on a regular basis without his knowledge. I don't buy it. It was a well-known fact that Syd liked drugs way too much.

The firing of Pete Best became very clear in the documentary "Best of the Beatles" I think or mbe another: Pete's booming narrow constant drum approach was good for '50's Rock & popular in Liverpool's Cavern, but that left no room for Paul's melodic bass runs. No space or variation. Whereas Ringo listens, opens space and interacts with Paul and John and George. Plus, rock solid timing and easy going. =The drummer the band needed.

John stated once: 'we were moving, making progress, he would come late, if ever, to rehearsals and ever was but the same all along. At the end he could not play studio, we needed a session-drummer to take his place, whereas with Ringo..' A very common story among 'taking-off' rock bands. The lazy one quitting on the last step (a very common feature actually, The Police has a similar story, and others too, any discipline involved: people tend to resign just before they would achieve, a slight difference in mindset for great consequences). Also Ringo was a close friend with George, and so having him in the band would be balancing with a reinforced George, considering the 2 ogres standing plain front.. George estranged from his friend may have become a misery, lonely and sad.. not a beatles' storytelling, no way. Pete Best really bears a face expressing permanent failure, he is pathetic. This guy never recovered.

Syd Barret had schizophrenia and all that LSD use really brought on the symptoms of his schizophrenia. Pink Floyd didn't kick him out of the band to be dicks. His behavior became so erratic and he started not even playing his guitar during performances and wouldn't talk during an interview just a blank stare. The band still paid homages to him over the years with songs like Shine On You Crazy Diamond, and the album The Wall. He still received some royalties so in Syd Barret's case the band did not do him wrong.

@@marguskiis7711 Your talking about Jonesy at the end of his run w/ the Stones, when he couldn't even shake a tambourine. But I defy you to listen to their early stuff like Red Rooster, 19th Nervous Breakdown, Paint It Black, etc, and not marvel at Jones eclectic style of lead playing in his prime. Obviously Richards is the riff master behind all those songs, but in my opinion, the best lead guitar Stones ever had was with the Mick Taylor era, hands down.

My father was one of the top sales people for relatively small/medium sized business selling industrial rolling oils. He was making very good money for many decades and he constantly got offers from the competition to jump ship. He never did. His advice to me was " Never think you are better than the company you work for".

Pete Best was a terrible drummer and only latched onto the early Beatles gig because of his mother's manipulation from having a popular party place. As soon as the Beatles found a real drummer, Best was jettisoned.

Just listen to the stuff Best recorded with The Beatles and it's obvious why he was sacked. He could barely keep even a simple beat going for more than a few seconds at a time. George Martin told them Best couldn't possibly be on any records they'd make, so a session drummer would have to be used. Best had only been hired because the band had been booked to play many shows in Hamburg, so they needed someone who owned his own kit, and who could leave for Germany in only a couple of days. There's really no mystery here. Even after several decades, Best just can't accept that he was not a very competent drummer.

I want to mention Ingo "Mr. Smile" Schwictenberg of Helloween. He was struggling with depressions, and when the direction of the band made him miserable, he got a drug problem. It lead to the band was forced to fire him. In 1995 he jumped in front of a train 😔😢🥺

Jagger and Richards actively campaigned to force Jones out using methods which today would be considered constructive dismissal. It was this that sent Jones on a downward spiral and ultimately to an untimely death which many believe to have been assisted.

Complete nonsense, he was a gibbering wreck who missed rehearsal and couldn't function. I got that from Charlie's mouth in an interview, I may not have believed Mick and Keith but when Charlie says how sad it was ,what became of Brian then I do believe him. Mick and Keith may have wanted him out the band BECAUSE of what he'd become, they never turned him into a wreck,it wasn't their treatment of him that made him go that way,he did it to himself the same way that Keith is to blame for his drug addiction and Ronnie for his drink and drug issues

You left out Ozzy Osbourne. He was fired from the band Black Sabbath in 1978 and spent 1979 and 1980 in a world of heavy drug use, just lots and lots of it. His 1980 track, "Crazy Train" was about his heavy drug use period and introduced to the world his lead guitarist who always steals the show with his licks, Randy Rhodes. (Of course, Randy was never fired. He flew a plane and crashed. His last track he recorded with Ozzy was, crazy enough, "Flying High Again".)

I feel sorry for Steven Adler. He was a junkie that's true. But he wasn't the only one in that band. He wanted to be sober but was forced to do the recording of Civil War meanwhile he was cold turkey. Not to mention that he did this for the band as Axl had him signed a contract to get clean. He told them that he's not able to play but they didn't care. I saw him playing with a band in 92. He could perform. When you are an addict you know you are okay when you are on it. Sadly it's just how you feel normal. Axl wanted him out of the band. Steen was the only one who dared confront him. Axl never liked him, they had ongoing fights.
