Syd Barrett RIP
 

Just saw on Sky News Syd Barrett has died.

R.I.P

This is certainly going to be a sad day.Bye Syd and thank you for the music.

what?
fuck!
RIP
syds gtr work on piper is my favorite gtr playing ever ever ever. as well as all the influence he had over that album being amazing.
his solo albums are also something special that have been copied countless times but never even touched.
R.I.P syd. you fucking rocked.

That's sad.
Don't know what to say.... :(

RIP indeed.

Saw it on the BBC website.... sad.

fuck the bbc. their report is far too brief for such a genius.
he deserves much more.

I feel a tear coming down my eye.

oh dear this is very sad news. for some reason i always thought he was older than 60.

syd barrett

Some human beings are just too beautiful for words(even in their erratic behaviour).

This is truly a sad day for all Floyd fans.

RIP Syd, you will be missed...

Shine on you crazy diamond...

Erm.... if the other Pink Floyds died i wouldn't care but not my Syd.

To me, this photo always said so much about his mental state.
Totally burned out.

An effervescing elephant with tiny eyes and great big trunk,
once whispered to the tiny ear, the ear of one in fear,
you hear that by next June he'd die, oh yeah,
And the tiger would roam the little one said,
'Oh my goodness, I must stay at home!'
And every time I hear a growl,
I'll know the tigers on the prowl,
And I'll be really safe, you know, the elephant, he told me so,
Everyone was nervous, oh yeah,
And the message was spread to zebra, mongoose and the dirty
hippapotamus,
who wallowed in the mud and chewed his spicy hippoplankton food,
and tended to ignore the word,
referring to a survey he heard of stupid water bison, oh yeah,
And all the jungle took fright,
and ran around for all the day and the night,
But all in vain because, you see,
the tiger came and said,
'Who me?! You know I wouldn't hurt not one of you,
I much prefer something to chew, and you're all too scant'
Oh yeah, He ate the elephant

i gonna give a spin to piper at the gates of dawn tonight

rip syd barrett

i remember the first time i've heard kool thing, i've thought :
"it reminds me interstellar overdrive so much" still don't know
why.

RIP Syd

O.k. everyone, ALL SYD BARRETT, ALL DAY.

It's the least we could do.

yep, RIP syd

Nah, this shows it more. See you later Roger:(

i'll do my loving in the winter

This is sad to wake up to, Syd was a true innovator in floyd and even though he hadnt done anything recently he still deserves our respect.

I think I'll upload that live 1970 show of his later today in the thread.

wow, you have a 1970 show? Did you hear of that 1972 show they found and might release, I wonder if this sad day will finally bring enough interest to Syd's work to be released.

yea its a live solo 1970 show but he only does 5 songs before walking off.

I guess the fact that more of syd's unreleased work might now come out is the only silver lining to this sad day.

please upload that...

sad but true

in the meantime check out this site, it has a downloadable clip of syd with the early floyd at the ufo club performing (one of those gigs i wish i'd been alive to see).

thanks 4 the thread i had no idea until i read it. very sad he was very talented.

I wonder how painful it is to die of Diabetic Coma or Shock?

Doesn't sound like fun.

Because of the name you have no credibilty in a thread like this.


hugs and kisses

Hey man...

I've got a bike you can ride it if you like...it's got a basket a bell...that rings and dings...if you want to....

I'd give it to you if you wish, but I borrowed it.

you fucked up the lyrics, good one

FUCK, I FUCKED THEM UP....I'm so damn embarrassed.

I'm pretty sad, he was one of the only things I actually liked about pink floyd. I don't have piper, I'll have to find it. I have relics though, that has some syd. And the song 'i know where syd barret lives' by the television personalities.

not even just a bit fucked up either.

So true.....


Come on you raver, you seer of visions
Come on you painter
You piper, you prisoner, and shine

Hmm....i naver listen to anything he's on.. maby i will when i get back from the midlle of nowhere (minnesota).

you MUST own piper!
always makes me laugh that syd put 3 gtr parts on that album when he was the only gtrst, then on that footage on astronomy dominane (ufo club) he doesnt even hardly touch his gtr, just puts his arms above his head and sings. haha, my main man. also check out the live version of intersteller overdrive on the tonight lets all make love in london vid.
think its on youtube if you can handle the not so great quality.

also, im begging for the mono version of piper, anyone has it then pm me. ive wanted it for a long time.

I have friends who are hardcore syd barrett-ites. They colect his solo stuff, they love the early floyd.
I have never been able to get into either.
it is good stuff, but even though me and LSD made good friends over the course fo a couple of years of experimentation, the floyd bores me. the syd barrett solo stuff bores me too.
