I'm broke but i can give you advice, Co Q 10 and Collagen Flex (Perfectil in bottles otherwise) taken together for 3 months will bring some cosmic rejuvination and you can pass the knowledge onto all the cool heads we've gotta keep going and having great interviews with you in honour of Syd and the whole great scene you're all part of.

When I saw Roger Waters in 22 he had a story about Syd on the screen while he played Wish You Were Here. It was very emotional and touching. Roger is obviously still very affected by what happened with Syd.
John if I had any money to contribute to your channel I would certainly do that. Don't have the money to hardly live. I mean I can't even buy myself a CD a month. It's really tough. You really put everything you've got into this and I'm sure that your channel is not monetized because of the content on it so you're not earning money from that. You really are preserving music history in a really important way and it's great statement of who you are and how much you love the music thank you john.
John, As you know I have long been fascinated by both what these individuals have to say, but also their personality and what they were like to chat with. Bob seems to be the type of person that just was downright enjoyable to sit down with and his insights about musicality and the brief flame of genius are remarkably profund. They are all so articulate in conjuring up images of the past and bringing them to life. Your always pertinent questions and their memories make for important historical artifacts.
Funny that Syd went back to playing that kind of chunka-chunka-chunka blues style on his final recordings, and his appearance with The Last Minute Put Together Boogie Band, where he just comped in the background while Fred Frith got full-on experimental.
Speaking of color and music, 1) it is called the chromatic scale, the color scale (chroma- = color in Greek), and 2) it is interesting how the color wheel goes around in a cycle and the notes of a scale go around in a cycle do ray mi fa so la ti DO again, kind of like red orange yellow green blue purple RED again.
@@robinwatson4282 cans are all cans, I am talking about red cycling back to red after CHANGES from orange to yellow to green to blue to purple to back to RED. Similarly, do ray mi goes through changes, 7 DIFFERENT cans, then winding back up at the first can, DO: do ray mi fa so la ti do
Where getting Syd from all angles here.....J. Boyd, J. Shirley and now B. Kloss..... He's right, it took him leaving for the Genesis of the band to come together....So that makes him pretty important in the direction the band would eventually follow.....TY John for feeding my craving for everything Syd.....Be Well, Stay Healthy.....😎
All right. I subscribed only because I know it helps the algorithm and maybe a few more people that have some way to contribute to you might do it. That I'm glad to do.
Been a Pink Floyd listener for years and now discovering the early years. Got Live in Pompeii on DVD and has Syd Barrett as David Gilmour era song on it. Not here to argue, I like both 😂 Bob is a new name for me, might have heard song of his without knowing. Thanks for the upload 👍
Thank you for posting this. So precious. Bob Klose's comments about Syd Barrett's creativity and guitar craft are so interesting! (If only he did not say "you know" a hundred times..🤗)
I doubt Floyd would have been as appealing in popularity with trippin' Syd (Roger) Barrett as opposed to David Gilmour He was certainly a colourful chap (he probably contracted all those colours from all that LSD he took in the mid 60's) That's how Rick Wakeman 'YES' played his musical compositions.. I recall him in an interview saying that he could play very complicated sets with his eyes closed as he didn't even need to see the keys - he just saw colours.. and then there's that savant Daniel Tammet who saw complex calculations as coloured shapes (documentary SUPER HUMANS) this guy remembered and then recited pi to over 22,500 places..... and here's me - can't remember my own 11 digit cell Number. What a beautiful world.... smh
I think you are wrong about Syd being basically a flash in the pan. If he didn't do too much LSD and have his breakdown, if he was able to stay working, which is what both he and the Floyd wanted, I think the music would have been even better than it was with Dave. It took them awhile to get their sealegs after Syd mm
@@garymorneault1753 YAWN! ...Same with YES and any other great band that evolved out of the 60's - I know Floyd inside out .... Trust me ! - We can put this to the test quite easily...READY ?

Now first of all....only us old boy & gal rockers will know he were there first ...so obviously us guys n gals will say SEE EMILY PLAY ...THE GNOME ...THE OCTOPUS ...Blah Blah Blah... But anyone who knows PINK FLOYD NOW won't know any of those ...or any of BARRETT's other SLIT YA WRISTs ...BRAB ...BORIN AS FUCK - SAME OLD DEAD BEAT ...MONO TONO US ... FUNERAL MARCH tunes he wrote. I really don't think that I could now listen to PIPER AT THE GATES OF DAWN...or SAUCERFUL OF SECRETS - They're just depressing. Nothing really happened for Floyd till '73 with Dark Side Of The Moon... followed by Wish YW Here '75 ..their '77 Animals ...and then THE WALL in 1979. If you don't believe me...Ask around - and get back to me ? ....You'll find i'm right !
@@povethestud you missed the point of what I was saying. If Syd DIDN'T have his breakdown and kept writing those beautifully quirky songs, which I believe he would have because that kind of talent doesn't run dry, the Floyd sound would have been much more up and bright and fun.
Hi Scott. I’m not sure why that is . If you’re thinking of contributing please add it to Jerry’s video. Though I’m very grateful to you for your previous generosity.
@JOHNEDGINTONDOCUMENTARIES I was going to do that, but didn't know if it specifically had to be the Kloss interview. UA-cam can be funny....These interviews are a treasure trove of information your just not going find anywhere.....Is the next drop going to be Mike Leonard???? Thanks again John for doing this for us Floyd Freaks.....😎🤣

something like astonomy domine, or chapter 22 still gives me goosebumps.
When I saw Roger Waters in 22 he had a story about Syd on the screen while he played Wish You Were Here. It was very emotional and touching. Roger is obviously still very affected by what happened with Syd.

Really interesting to hear from this guy. Great stuff. Thanks for the post. He was just a name before I watched this. Now he’s a lot more.
Eloquent speaker - wonderful turns of phrase
Great interview! 🙏👍
Reminds me of the Pete & Dud sketch at The RP. Where Dud's playing in the mood by colour association, red blue green, red blue green.
All right. I subscribed only because I know it helps the algorithm and maybe a few more people that have some way to contribute to you might do it. That I'm glad to do.

whatever came of that "tap dancing footage" of Syd that David Gilmour mentioned in his interview?
This is gold
Charming for sure. His girlfriend mentioned he had a hard time learning guitar
Thank you for posting this. So precious. Bob Klose's comments about Syd Barrett's creativity and guitar craft are so interesting! (If only he did not say "you know" a hundred times..🤗)
I didn't notice that - I just thought he was a really eloquent story teller.
agreed…why the need to criticize, what a nice interview and good guy. Unique take on Syd.
What a redreshing interview. This guy seems to not have any of the ego issues many early members of bands who became legendary succumb to.
I doubt Floyd would have been as appealing in popularity with trippin' Syd (Roger) Barrett as opposed to David Gilmour

What a lovely interview, this guy Bob has a really good mind.
It's a shame Syd and Bob broke off leaving Syd with Waters who seemed to end up creatively strangling Syd instead

Sounds like Syd had Synesthesia.
Too much lsd probably
Bob mentions this exactly at 0:40
