Syd is an icon. The younger generation know who he was, they are fans,and its sad that Syd left us to soon,physically and mentally. His songs were so simple,melodic, and interestingly strange. Shine on Syd,you left us too soon.
@@ericklein5927 Yeah, he's a product and a victim of the times and the scene he lived in. I think early on he took just enough drugs to be confused but stay comfortable in his own mind and that's when he gained his status as an artist. Later on he seems to have taken more of certain drugs that left him really confused and i think he knew he wasn't making sense anymore and that would be scary, so he just withdrew.
Same with Peter green, funny isn't it that they call people mad who don't want to be a corporate money train for lecherous music industry vampires. Psychedelics have a habit of cutting right through the bullshit with some people.
If this is the version of reality that one needs to have for themselves, so be it, but all the evidence points elsewhere, Peter Green eventually came mostly back to himself and professed candidly that he damaged himself doing way too much LSD. He knew this. Syd knew this, too. Yes, they went away from fame...AFTER they damaged themselves. Rick Wright and others have said the opposite...Syd actually quite liked the benefits of popularity and fame. He didn't like the music industry/sales/marketing/singles ethics (or lack thereof), but he knew that about himself beforehand and still leaned into it. Barrett would've been a pop star...happily so...had he not gone through the damaging effects of too large a quantity of psychedelic drugs in too short a space of time. Maybe others would've been fine...but some have a weakness mentally and are destroyed by overindulging. We've all seen it, no? I know two people who were normally and fine and in the span of five months & three months respectively...at ages 19 & 30...went completely off the diving board & into full blown psychosis. Neither ever came back.
As an old codger now in my late forties I remember hearing Piper at the Gates of Dawn as a 13 year old being completely mystified by this "Syd" character, who is he?, Where did he get that style from?, I'm still as baffled today as I was then!. He's a complete one-off. R.I.P Roger "Syd" Barrett.
Same with me in summer 2015, 21 and unsure where to go but with creative ambitions. He influenced my song/poetry writing style a lot, and doing weird things with my guitar. Piper blew my mind so much, I'd simply never heard a single thing that made me feel what I'd felt. Totally mesmerizing, it stuck in my head like an endless rain for awhile.
@valientlink I often wonder what became of his Esquire?. That Tele he's playing in the "madcap" flat with the bound body has never been identified either. Interstellar Overdrive was born after Syd was trying to play/remember the theme tune of Steptoe and Son which goes a little ways to illuminate his creative process.
Late 40s? You're a youngster still... even 60 ain't old in 2023. ,( you can guess I'm mid 50s. And have literally just realised with this comment that I'm officially pushing 60 that means)
glad people understand syd wasn't some babbling madman who spent his whole life from 1968-2006 in some permanent psychosis, he had mental health issues and the LSD certainly didn't help, but part of him also bluntly didn't want to be in the spotlight and wanted to live a simple quiet life in Cambridge
@triskelion2056 My brother was the producer of Syd's solo album "The Madcap Laughs", & he said that Syd was actually pretty together during the sessions. If you are interested you can find his account of the recording process "The Making Of The Madcap Laughs" by Malcolm Jones.
@@MissJensk1thank you for adding this, I've been absorbing information about Syd since I was a teenager, I'm 28 now and I still find more details, and even photographs which is super cool. I really once thought I wouldn't find more about Syd reaching one point but the information remained coming indirectly
LSD and Mental health doesn't match I should no iv got schizophrenia I used to drop lsd when I was younger and ill never forget my last trip it were a fkn nightmare all I can remember was getting of a bed in hospital and laughing and crying at the nurses and after that the mental health developed at around 17 or 18 then I got diagnosed and spent 11 months in andrew duncins clinic which did help now I'm 47 and getting treated with Meds but yeah life better now so Shine On 🙏🙏
Nah man, Ive heard about people with schizophrenia doing acid and the outcomes varies. Some even have relieving trips in which their symptoms become more on the positive side. Set and setting is everything. You fucked up that day. As well as it has happened to me. Schizophrenia is evem different in India, they don't have the paranoic type of hallucinations, since they live in a more united society (even thoughh they are poor) people with schiz there would often just see colours and shit like that.
when you realise the kind of pychologically terrorising interviews they were on the receiving end of at that time it makes their musical achievements even more impressive............perhaps it got to Sid & did his head in.................
Ive always believed what rick wright had to say about what happened to syd. Although he was effected by daily lsd consumption, it was an accidental one time overdosage of lsd that got him. Ive seen it happen to others in the same manner. They ended up the same way, not fuctioning likeca normal human being the rest of thier life. I think the reason he rekected the name syd, and anything to do with pink floyd is because he knew well what happened to him. No wonder any mention of that period of time was so painful for him.
Yup, the lost weekend. It was also possible that it was a more dangerous knockoff like "STP" (since the law decided to make LSD illegal, so all that good Owsley stuff was no longer around). Going crazy with the quaaludes (the Mandrax) isn't all that hot an idea, either. I think it was STP and Ludes that wrecked his noggin. Toss in possible neurodivergency with an combo of stress from constant touring and the music biz sucking all the joy out of being a rock musician and you have Syd. Poor guy. He was such a bubbly, fun fellow beforehand. Everyone loved him. He was a charmer.
Well said. It’s such a shame that the music company executives push and push for what will make them money without care for the artists who are struggling with a multitude of problems. The list is very long and that is a crisis
@@lnormann2410 But Syd still covered the concept of animal politics first with Effervescing Elephant, Waters also copied the naked woman image from Syds first solo album cover for his first solo album cover.
I am a huge Floyd fan but I have always found him much more interesting than talented honestly. Other than piper, his solo stuff has never really moved me.
My first Pink Floyd record was "See Emily Play". My last was "Barrett" (Bees) Syd didn't go crazy... the other members just sucked. "Have you got it yet...???"
Poor Syd. Wish he could’ve kept it together a bit longer. Might’ve had a successful solo career. There are some mind blowing moments in his solo work. Of course there are,lol!
Syd Barrett and Nick Drake left to their own devices in a room... They'd both have been dead within a month because neither of them would have had the wherewithal to venture outside of their own volition to find food.

I lost my best friend to schizophrenia and a shotgun shell in 1984. This is hard to watch. Plus it doesn't actually end, it just stops. I resist downvoting it because of its historical value.
He was a genius and should of been treated like one plain and simple sensitity, compassion, loyalty not loyalties despise pink Floyd i have no words for them his solo stuff is heads and shoulders above the over produced utter crud sold out crud they churned out for dirty dollar dirty rich bastads
You apparently know nothing about PF. They had no choice and when they tried to check on him his family told them to stay away. Also, David Gilmour made sure he got royalties and was taken care of and he was a millionaire when he passed. If you see pics of him you can clearly see he's not right. There is an interview with Richard Wright who lived with him and he tells where his head was at or wasn't I should say! What made PF so huge was the musical genius of David Gilmour and Rick Wright! Yes, Roger wrote some words.
@@Doo_Doo_Patrol I disagree profoundly. Music has significant effects, mental and physical. Using lyrics in music - lyric poetry - is one of the most catalytic, effective, and direct ways to communicate.
I feel this phenomena has been born out of guilt. A genius he was not, far from it, he wasn't even close. He in actual fact would have been more suited to the Bonzo Dog Do Da Band. He has only been elevated to this status due to the guilt of the rest of the band, when they left him behind, and from there the Floyd went through the roof without him. It was sad he blew his head off, but that wasn't the fault of the rest of the band. They all collectively knew he had to go, so while he was sacked, to cover their conscious they made him into this supposed "Genius" . Listen to his solo stuff and you will realise in fact he was the seventh Bonzo.
A ridiculous statement and an even more ridiculous analogy. Comparing Barrett's work with the band he created to his post-breakdown, burn-out solo work is--forgive me--comparing "Apples & Oranges".
"It's awfully consyderate of you to think of me here and I'm most obliged to you for making it clear that I'm not here, and I never knew the room could be so big and I never knew the sky could be so blue and I'm grateful that you threw away my old shoes and brought me here instead DRESSED IN RAGS. And I'm wondering who could be writing this song". John McAfee did it the other way around he worked for NASA, GEC and Lockheed on a black ops program and then wrote the first antivurus in 2 and a half days and then took Hallucinogenic drugs and....just Google John McAfee interviews. Who is a genius? Who can tell? The Stanford Binet IQ test? Maybe he was on a different plane of existence. I like the Madcap. 😂🎉 Shine on Syd.
@@ozzystar3545 Well not really, with all respect to Syd. But Pink Floyd's music became great after he had already left, that whole situation did inspire Roger to write a lot of the songs though.
@@rafox66nah they were already great before, the first two floyd albums are incredible, pipers in particular i think it's the second best album behind wish you were here and sairceful of secrets is a goddamn great album
Geniuses are rarely treated as such and feel awkward even when they are. Most people are so immersed in the Matrix, when someone escapes it or even tries to they are seen as crazy or deranged. Who really knows what's going on in another person's mind?
I left the matrix and yeah I'm a weirdo to most people now! But I left because I felt imprisoned by social media materialism and people today are so full of themselves alot of narcissistic people around!
I'm no genius but I have Bipolar Disorder and I definitely feel like I too am outside the 'Matrix'. It's both great and awful depending on the day. Early Pink Floyd is the most interesting to me.
the fact that he started off... painting.... and ended up painting... makes me think music was just something he dabbled in in-between....he wasn't so much crazy as much as....he didn't want to kneel down to a record company and have to perform and record music at their command....🤔
True but, pink floyd had a pretty sweet relationship with the record company. I think they were the first band ever that got to take their time in the studio, produce themselves. But forsure he didnt like the demands of having a schedule and could not keep to it.
No Shit…! “ Like the Systems, are Criticizing you , When the Systems themselves are critical already.., so the systems actually systematic systems at all… 😳
I don't actually think it's from the Canadian radio interview Dec '66......I think it might be from his therapists recording of a session dated Aug '67 in London....but I agree the waffle factor is off the scale😺
I truly appreciate what Syd was an stood for.....p.s. he just wanted to be an artist... lsd helped him realize his situation in the late 1960s ,they had to lipsync caz we didn't have the technology to go live for an articulate artist that must have been infuriating. Imagine if Syd was able to unleash his essence as live p.s.s. I find Syd very intriguing because he didn't want to play the game and drugged and others helped in drugging I really do feel for Syd in many shapes facits and form .... hope you understand what I am saying . And David was a real close friend
As things went, yes. But as things could have went, no. Syd could have progressed just as the band ultimately did anyway. And times changed. Music changed and progressed. Had he not lost the plot, his style remaining in pink floyd as it progressed would have been far greater. Also, without Allan Parsons, Dark side would not have been what it was. That was his sound and his production work. IMO, wish you were here was their first decent post Barratt album. Although live at pompe is rather special and a juncture point of turning for them. It's all hypothesis now.
Yeah, I used to just start playing so I couldn't hear him cry and I realised after a while he'd stop and be listening. Before he could sit himself up, he's listening to all the house noise bored, scared and confused. The music makes sense, would comfort him and intregue him. I came home one night and me sister was fuming because he'd been screeming and crying from 10am-10pm I went and sat with him, played this on guitar and he was silent within 1 minute, and he'd peek at me every now and again for half an hour. He thought I was a genius. But thanks be to ultimate guitar. A F A D A Ex2 E E D A E E C D and Sid @@1967dooter
Syd was like a magical mystical firework that blazed in the night sky in beautiful colours for one moment in time but sadly there was nothing left after that. RIP Syd
exactly....i think he only had those songs in him....'piper at the gates of dawn' then...he didn't have anything else to say... musically...and struggled because everyone expected more from him... sometimes people only have that one album in them then...... that's it... u cant force it..😒
Syd actually played quite a bit on Saucerful of Secrets as told by David Gilmour, (they were a 5 piece ) but had strangely only 1 written track on it, which he sang, 'Jugband Blues' , the best track on it imo. However, many will say that his later solo albums are his best work.
Absolutely! Damn, dood! I would've never realized that. The fella could talk for hours without really saying Anything, whatsoever...which, I mean in thee coolest fuckin best way would ever could say that. Of such.
Definitely, because he left art school to pursue music, few years went on and he did not want to be a popstar at all and didnt wanna be associated with the name syd at all
Thank you very much for posting this ! In solidarity with the fighters for peace, love, freedom, justice and truth, we express our feelings with music on our channel. Greetings from Germany, CLUB OF THE UNCENSORED POETS
As a life long musician and guitarist find it hard to be nice to people who call Roger Barrett a genius musician. Artist yes ! But musician? Are you deaf? He was a really good looking exciting charismatic typical art college to avoid the mill English boy. Pink Floyd writing about their friend being an LSD casualty was what made them both famous. And the whole thing is very odd like going to strangers funerals! If my child sits on the floor for hours making a racket with my guitar I don't call her a genius . And like Mr. Barret's neighbors I tell her knock it off ! Yes they went on to make some iconic music but come on man. Calling your buddy who lost his mind to acid "Syd" is morbid.
Nice compilation, but i'i'll leave a hint here. leave your subtitles with shades around it, it's better for viewing in darker background images. Thanks for the video.

@@mattharcla Harsh but true.
@@Doo_Doo_Patrol I disagree profoundly. Music has significant effects, mental and physical. Using lyrics in music - lyric poetry - is one of the most catalytic, effective, and direct ways to communicate.
It's ART damne it!and artists have the secret to life the universe and everything ....of course
@@randybackgammon890 It seems unlike;y on past evidence. It is, however, god for the human spirit.
I feel this phenomena has been born out of guilt. A genius he was not, far from it, he wasn't even close. He in actual fact would have been more suited to the Bonzo Dog Do Da Band. He has only been elevated to this status due to the guilt of the rest of the band, when they left him behind, and from there the Floyd went through the roof without him. It was sad he blew his head off, but that wasn't the fault of the rest of the band. They all collectively knew he had to go, so while he was sacked, to cover their conscious they made him into this supposed "Genius" . Listen to his solo stuff and you will realise in fact he was the seventh Bonzo.
A ridiculous statement and an even more ridiculous analogy. Comparing Barrett's work with the band he created to his post-breakdown, burn-out solo work is--forgive me--comparing "Apples & Oranges".
"It's awfully consyderate of you to think of me here and I'm most obliged to you for making it clear that I'm not here, and I never knew the room could be so big and I never knew the sky could be so blue and I'm grateful that you threw away my old shoes and brought me here instead DRESSED IN RAGS. And I'm wondering who could be writing this song". John McAfee did it the other way around he worked for NASA, GEC and Lockheed on a black ops program and then wrote the first antivurus in 2 and a half days and then took Hallucinogenic drugs and....just Google John McAfee interviews. Who is a genius? Who can tell? The Stanford Binet IQ test? Maybe he was on a different plane of existence. I like the Madcap. 😂🎉 Shine on Syd.
Genius, i don't know. An adorable and sensitive man, yes. Syd was just different.
Tf r u talking about he was genius af he was the visionary for one of the biggest bands ever
@@ozzystar3545 Well not really, with all respect to Syd. But Pink Floyd's music became great after he had already left, that whole situation did inspire Roger to write a lot of the songs though.
@@rafox66nah they were already great before, the first two floyd albums are incredible, pipers in particular i think it's the second best album behind wish you were here and sairceful of secrets is a goddamn great album
Different from what? He was an individual. (normal)
Geniuses are rarely treated as such and feel awkward even when they are. Most people are so immersed in the Matrix, when someone escapes it or even tries to they are seen as crazy or deranged. Who really knows what's going on in another person's mind?
Indeed..,
I left the matrix and yeah I'm a weirdo to most people now! But I left because I felt imprisoned by social media materialism and people today are so full of themselves alot of narcissistic people around!
Most accept the matrix because they're overwhelmed, those who don't usually die or live with the rejection.
He's so overrated... Pink Floyd went waaaaaay better after he left the band... all the best Pink Floyd albums are on the 70's...
I'm no genius but I have Bipolar Disorder and I definitely feel like I too am outside the 'Matrix'. It's both great and awful depending on the day. Early Pink Floyd is the most interesting to me.
the fact that he started off... painting.... and ended up painting... makes me think music was just something he dabbled in in-between....he wasn't so much crazy as much as....he didn't want to kneel down to a record company and have to perform and record music at their command....🤔
True but, pink floyd had a pretty sweet relationship with the record company. I think they were the first band ever that got to take their time in the studio, produce themselves. But forsure he didnt like the demands of having a schedule and could not keep to it.
that's exactly what he's saying in the interview
I’m not sure who rambles more…Syd or the Canadian interviewer!?
LOL For real!
No Shit…!
“ Like the Systems, are Criticizing you , When the Systems themselves are critical already.., so the systems actually systematic systems at all… 😳
I don't actually think it's from the Canadian radio interview Dec '66......I think it might be from his therapists recording of a session dated Aug '67 in London....but I agree the waffle factor is off the scale😺
I know. Really being weird as can be.
5:37-6:29 you can see the rear cover art of the Piper LP sleeve (designed by Syd) in his collection to the right ✨💠♥
Lots of leading questions. This is from the days when interviewers thought they were more interesting than the people they were interviewing.
They still do
He was a gorgeous man! 😍His 👀👀👀👀👀👀. So soulful.
I respect Syd but I love what David Gilmour brought to Pink Floyd, the sound would not have been what is!
Just remember with out Syd there would not have been David.......😮
yes of corse I do agree to that
I truly appreciate what Syd was an stood for.....p.s. he just wanted to be an artist... lsd helped him realize his situation in the late 1960s ,they had to lipsync caz we didn't have the technology to go live for an articulate artist that must have been infuriating. Imagine if Syd was able to unleash his essence as live p.s.s. I find Syd very intriguing because he didn't want to play the game and drugged and others helped in drugging I really do feel for Syd in many shapes facits and form .... hope you understand what I am saying . And David was a real close friend
As things went, yes. But as things could have went, no. Syd could have progressed just as the band ultimately did anyway. And times changed. Music changed and progressed. Had he not lost the plot, his style remaining in pink floyd as it progressed would have been far greater. Also, without Allan Parsons, Dark side would not have been what it was. That was his sound and his production work. IMO, wish you were here was their first decent post Barratt album. Although live at pompe is rather special and a juncture point of turning for them. It's all hypothesis now.
Imagine the band with both of them?
I used to play Wined And Dined to my baby nephew on guitar and he'd nearly always stop crying.🤩🤩
Would he stop crying when you stopped playing? ;-)
Yeah, I used to just start playing so I couldn't hear him cry and I realised after a while he'd stop and be listening. Before he could sit himself up, he's listening to all the house noise bored, scared and confused. The music makes sense, would comfort him and intregue him. I came home one night and me sister was fuming because he'd been screeming and crying from 10am-10pm I went and sat with him, played this on guitar and he was silent within 1 minute, and he'd peek at me every now and again for half an hour. He thought I was a genius. But thanks be to ultimate guitar. A F A D A Ex2 E E D A E E C D and Sid @@1967dooter
That's sweet. I can see some of his music appealing to kids
@@Here4TheHeckOfIt oh yes, my nieces enjoyed some of his music but they didn't grow up to know who Syd was or anything
The problem is that once you do LSD or any psychedlic you realise that everything is a sham and there's no going back.
maybe why we were not supposed to eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil 🤔
You don’t need LSD to achieve that realization.
Syd was like a magical mystical firework that blazed in the night sky in beautiful colours for one moment in time but sadly there was nothing left after that. RIP Syd
He inspired the others to go on and create masterpieces like Animals and Meddle and The Wall, DSOTM, etc.
exactly....i think he only had those songs in him....'piper at the gates of dawn' then...he didn't have anything else to say... musically...and struggled because everyone expected more from him... sometimes people only have that one album in them then...... that's it... u cant force it..😒
Shine on you crazy diamond
Syd actually played quite a bit on Saucerful of Secrets as told by David Gilmour, (they were a 5 piece ) but had strangely only 1 written track on it, which he sang, 'Jugband Blues' , the best track on it imo. However, many will say that his later solo albums are his best work.
Syd is in the international film fest this year get ur freaking tickets the film is called have you got it yet
Syd's voice is kind of good for asmr, his talk
Totally agree, he had a soft voice
Oh yes, such a soft, beautiful voice. I agree about the ASMR. It makes me swoon.
Absolutely! Damn, dood! I would've never realized that.
The fella could talk for hours without really saying Anything, whatsoever...which, I mean in thee coolest fuckin best way would ever could say that. Of such.
@@tylersims6937 Yup. Such a gorgeous voice! So deep and soft... and that Cambridge accent is the cherry on the sexy boy sundae.
A lot of Syd Barrett in Kurt Cobain more I think about it, this video really makes it stand out the similarities of the two
I think around 3:33 he says 'art school' not 'our' school - ok?
Definitely, because he left art school to pursue music, few years went on and he did not want to be a popstar at all and didnt wanna be associated with the name syd at all
Sorry about that mistake! I wasn’t really paying attention when I captioned it but thanks for pointing that out : P
Syd, my favorite pink Floyd member❤ Rest In Peace Syd Barret.
Thank you very much for posting this !

Greetings from Germany, CLUB OF THE UNCENSORED POETS
Wow I liked how you talk, it seems to me that this has been my path
As a life long musician and guitarist find it hard to be nice to people who call Roger Barrett a genius musician. Artist yes ! But musician? Are you deaf? He was a really good looking exciting charismatic typical art college to avoid the mill English boy. Pink Floyd writing about their friend being an LSD casualty was what made them both famous. And the whole thing is very odd like going to strangers funerals! If my child sits on the floor for hours making a racket with my guitar I don't call her a genius . And like Mr. Barret's neighbors I tell her knock it off ! Yes they went on to make some iconic music but come on man. Calling your buddy who lost his mind to acid "Syd" is morbid.
Nice compilation, but i'i'll leave a hint here. leave your subtitles with shades around it, it's better for viewing in darker background images. Thanks for the video.
No problem! I’m making a part 2 soon and I’ll keep that in mind
