His Legacy will be eternal.

It's the mystery of syd

This guy's something I can't explain...

A hip cat

Individual and different are basically the same thing. So that is really just one reason.

@@davegann4178 I wouldn't say Individual and different are the same thing, especially when speaking about Syd Barrett who was quite a bit different from other artists. But if that's what you think then that's just 1 reason. 👍

If I'm not mistaken, the book Sauser full secrets said "Syd burned most of his paintings

I will always love You. It is you that makes this life bearable.

Sometimes it’s best not to know. 😎👌

Of course! His voice is so pretty, is it not? :)

This comment will age well - in 10 years!

Of course! :)

I can hear these Syd noises

Love him. One of his last “interviews”: “Leave me alone, I have to get some cole slaw” or some such. At first I was sad, now I think he’s so funny.

Sure! My pleasure! I had a ton of Syd content saved on a flash drive bc I got so obsessed that I NEEDED to have it available without requiring internet access. Syd was my DRUG back then! (Still is!) Anyway, these clips came from my “stash” lol.

There's a theory that it was the heavy amounts of mandrax he was taking to cope with his heavy LSD usage that fucked him up and mandrax basically turns your brain into swiss cheese combined with the fact that syds family said that he was on the autism spectrum. You get a situation like this

@@Sydney-Casket-Base thanks... I think Navara Kirt took from him.. I hear it

Ich glaube, Syd hat im Prinzip den grunge erschaffen

@@robert48719 ja eh Robert ☺

This is kinda rude

Also drugs probably weren’t the only reason why he got all weird. He had mental health issues. Be cool, yknow? He WAS something. I love him. Smh

He achieved a lot as musician, and died as millionaire. Doesn't sound like a failure to me. What happened to him had multiple caused and also happens with stuff like ADHD medication. His behavior was irresponsible, but blaming the substances is pretty short sighted. Most users never face that kind of problems.

His catalogue has never been out of print in nearly 60 years, he had around 3mil in his bank account when he passed away and his art has consistently been praised both by the public and academically. So, where is the failure??? Syd Barrett lived exactly how he wanted on his own terms, he made what he wanted to make and stopped when he didn't want to do it anymore. He spent the rest of his life painting and pursuing other hobbies that interested him, he was comfortable and, according to his family, he was very contented for the last 20+ years of his life. So there's no need to project your personal conceptions of what is and is not "successful" onto him.

@@evangeline77x Hallo 👋🏾 Syd Barrett war ein kranker Mensch. Mit 15 Jahren ist sein Vater gestorben. Er muss sehr früh Drogen genommen haben. Nick Mason hat in seinem Buch geschrieben: Als er Syd Kennenlernte hat er hin und wieder einen Joint geraucht. David Gilmour hat mal gesagt: Er habe mit Syd LSD genommen,da hat es Pink Floyd noch nicht gegeben!! Die Wohngemeinschaft in der Syd gelebt hat, haben sein Leben versaut. Er hat mehrmals in der Woche LSD genommen. Das ist für das Gehirn zuviel!! Drogensucht ist eine geistige Erkrankung. Er war mit 22 Jahren ein kranker Mensch.. Was für ein Krankheitsbild Syd genau hatte weiß ich nicht. Die Familie Barrett erzählt nichts darüber. Das ist sehr britisch!! Über Peinlichkeiten spricht man nicht. Syd Barrett war in seinem Gehirn krank. 1967 er konnte nicht mehr den richtigen Tonleiter spielen. - Er war geistig abwesend. - Er lebte nicht mehr im hier und jetzt. - Er wollte die Wände hoch klettern. - Er hat seine Freundin im Schlafzimmer eingesperrt. - Er hat sich Lippenstift 💄 aufgetragen und Frauenschuh angezogen. - Er wollte eine Sekte gründen. - Er wollte Arzt werden und heiraten. - Seine Mutter musste 1991 aus dem Haus ziehen!! Wahrscheinlich hatte er Wutanfälle. - Bei seinen 2 Soloplatten war er am Rande der Schizophrenie!!! Die Psychiatrie war damals noch nicht soweit. Die Familie Barrett erzählt nichts über seine Krankheiten !!! Syd Barrett ist als Maler und Musiker gescheitert. Er hat nichts mehr geleistet. Er hat es versucht aber leider nicht mehr geschafft.. Das ganze Geld macht dich nicht gesund. Du bist isoliert und lebst in deinem eigenen Gefängnis.... Das ist traurig. Ich weiß nicht ob er jemals Erlösung oder Frieden für seine Seele gefunden hat???

😂

Mood

You are

Damn

@@ugotacigarette7286 Bravo Oscar Wilde

Ok , here goes,Syd Barrett walks in to the doctors and says "doc,I feel like a pistachio,the doc replies"you're nuts", I'll see myself out!😂

@@Sandwich13455 Rim Shot

I know… 😔 But we can at least celebrate the good things we got from Syd and the better parts of his life.

I'm not sure he's as pitiable as he's made out to be...you don't want to be in such the spotlight when you're experimenting on that level.

@@nitinkakkar776 Do you mean to say that it was Syd's fault that he had a mental breakdown? (Assuming drugs even caused his breakdown, which isn't how that works.)

No. I'm saying that if you do as much as he is reported to have done you'll probably need years to find yourself again. And much of what you say and do until that happens will seem strange to people.

@@nitinkakkar776 But is it not pitiable that he was in that situation?

Found it around KZfaq. :)

You're shouting into the void with this,I've been saying that very thing for years, Piper photos show him under the influence,he couldn't straighten his eyes,a lot of pics have him eyes half shut.

Maybe he was just blinking when the photo was taken

@@Sydney-Casket-Base possibly, the band members said he was an existential threat to the band at the time,I personally think he did not like the fake Pop scene

No... LSD

@@andrewnelson1967 Nick Mason grassed him up,let it be known that Barrett didn't crush quaaludes and bryl cream into his hair for stage,he wouldn't waste good mandies as they were known.

Me too kinda

No it hasn’t. That’s just how it sounds. I wouldn’t even know how to slow it down if I wanted to. I have pretty much no knowledge about editing.

@@Sydney-Casket-Base Thanks for response. I totally believe you posted this in good faith and as you found it. I was not saying you did it ! However I think it is clear that this is not just a filmed interview but has 'effects' and has been slowed here and there. Even the interviewer sounds zonked. I assume it was the original filmaker's idea.

@@davidlamb7524 thanks for trusting me. The thing is, slowed down audio has a distinct sound to it that I just don’t hear in that interview. I think that’s just genuinely how they sounded. Syd tends to talk slowly in many interviews. (It’s kinda relaxing tbh.) I agree that the interviewer sounds weird, or “zonked”, but I think that’s just him! 🤣

@@Sydney-Casket-Base Thanks for the civilised conversation. We agree to differ then. I haven't changed my view. I'm not technical enough to know exactly what was done but it was the visuals as well.

@@davidlamb7524 fair enough. :)

I woulda done the same thing 🤭😅

I think they dumped him cuz they were sick and tired of his elementary writing about his "Bike" his "Dog" and "Tent"....he was stuck in arrested development retardiness....

Verooooo, perché Roger ha capito che lui era il vero talento, ha dato il sound ai Pink Floyd.

Nobody got rid of Syd he walked; and truth David is the sound of the band his voice and guitar Roger has a very unique voice bass and addition I enjoy the wall and animals Roger's contributions equalizer

They were both tripping
