Der gesunde Syd Barrett war sehr kreativ. Er war ein talentierter begabter junger Mann. Leider hatte er die falschen Freunde gehabt. Er hat zuviel LSD genommen. Bei seinen 2 Soloplatten war er am Rande der Schizophrenie. Drogensucht ist eine geistige Erkrankung. Mit 22 Jahren war er ein kranker Mensch. Die Familie Barrett erzählt nichts über seine Krankheiten !! - Er wollte die Wände hoch klettern. - Er war geistig abwesend. ,- Er lebte nicht im hier und jetzt. Er konnte nicht mehr den richtigen Tonleiter spielen. - Er wollte seine Gitarre auf dem Kopf seiner Schwester Rosemary schlagen. - Er wollte eine Sekte gründen. - Er hat seine Freundin im Schlafzimmer eingesperrt. - Er hat sich Lippenstift 💄 aufgetragen und Frauenschuh angezogen. - Seine Mutter musste 1991 ausziehen. Wahrscheinlich hatte er Wutanfälle bekommen. Er war kurzzeitig in einer Psychiatrie für verlorene Seelen. Abgebrochen. Danach nur noch Therapiestunden. Syd Barrett ist als Maler und Musiker gescheitert. 1972 nochmals mit der Gruppe Stars versucht. Es hat nicht funktioniert. Er konnte es nicht mehr. Syd Barrett war ein kranker Mensch. Ich weiß nicht ob er jemals Erlösung oder Frieden für seine Seele gefunden hat ???? Eine echte Tragödie.
Der gesunde Syd Barrett war sehr kreativ. Er war ein talentierter begabter junger Mann. Leider hatte er die falschen Freunde gehabt. Seine Schwester Rosmary hat mal gesagt: Seine schlechte Zeit hat mit Pink Floyd angefangen... Ich denke seine schlechte Zeit hat in seiner Wohngemeinschaft angefangen in der Syd gelebt hat.. Er hang zuviel mit den Junkies ab.. Syd und Pink Floyd haben gut zusammengepasst... Die erste Platte The Piper.... ist eine gute Platte.... Seine 2 Soloplatten hätten mit Pink Floyd eingespielt werden müssen,da wären sie musikalisch besser geworden.... Leider hat Syd weiterhin Drogen genommen... Er ist als Maler und Musiker gescheitert. Was er für eine Krankheit hatte weiß ich nicht???
Gary Oldman played Sid Vicious brilliantly. I think he could have done the same for Syd, a tremendously more talented and interesting artist. Alas, Oldman is literally one now...and Syd is gone. C'est la vie.
I am an Arab person, but I love this genius Sed Barrett . He is inspiring at the same time. He is oppressed from the media side. I wish to see a movie produced by a huge company for this legend, the master who developed the curriculum of Western and international music.Thank you to the members of Pinky Floyd for dedicating the songs to the founder ..
A very talented man through music and art he didn't think he was anything special I think he saw through the music industry and wanted to do what he wanted I think at the end of the day he wanted peace to go home he never sold out total respect to Roger keith Barrett rip
Ok so far its taking me on a confusing trip and I'm not even drunk yet if I were I think it would make me puke to much for my brain to handle even straight...
I thought I'd seen every film of Syd there was, then this came out. It's good to see a relaxed Syd rather than the photoshoot or stage persona Syd. It almost doesn't look like him, he had very gentle eyes that I had never noticed before. What happened to him? I guess we'll never really know.
I know that we are each responsible for our own actions, but I will never understand how those around Syd could have let him take so much acid, utterly indiferent to the consequences. Although I was only a little girl then, I do remember the zeitgeist of the time - the experimentation/ mind expansion etc. But the casualties came thick and fast. It was evident very early on, that this stuff fried sensitive brains. Surely "friends" should have been conscious of what it was doing to him. Couldn't they see , or sense that this sensitive artist was just too open to disintegration.? The last thing he needed was to have further layers peeled away from him. Like Peter Green, another bloody genius, drugs were the last thing they needed. We lost 2 of our greatest artists - both touched with genius, to brain frying, mind destroying junk. I don't like Mick Rock's rather laissez faire attitude. But his photos of Syd are exquisite. They capture Syd's beauty, his fragility...his "longing for home". His early photos of David Bowie are also breathtaking.
Those days were much better times I don’t really think it was that fun when people put acid in his tea and they just wanted him to be messed up on drugs. I don’t think he was such a gentle soul on acid and I think that he I was happier when he got away from the corrupt music industry. Though he contributed a great deal of great music he loved it but not enough to continue
Damn how'd I not find this doc till now? Damn so good!!! Cheer for this. Lucy leave & King Bee sound so good in this vid & those orchestral renditions sre totally boss 🫠
No, not only was Syd not married, but after he retired once and for all to Cambridge in his late 20s, he never had another woman. This, after having girls galore as a Swinging London rock star. It's a strange story, and we don't really know the underside of it.
The more u read into syds life the sadder it gets really. The word genius is often over used but I personally believe it is entirely appropriate when describing him. A one of a kind type of person.
Hi, I am doing research for a book, what was this show like? Do you remember seeing a camera crew or someone with a sound recorder? The music here is not live but taken from The Piper album.
Syd saw a documentary and the Pink Floyd awards ceremony on TV saw that they named him, and his sister witnessed that, his sister says that syd remembered everything but he did not have that euphoria or anything he knew about his past , the same thing happened to my cousin Lalo who woke up after 40 years of the LSCD AND WHEN HE WAKE UP ALREADY HIS MOM MY AUNT AND HIS FATHER ESTEVAN WERE NO LONGER ALIVE , a trip in the lscd can last year and years but when to wake up it's sad and heartbreaking.
Fifty years from now, Syd will be little more than a footnote to this era. But for those who invest some time into what was going on, he will be a goldmine. Much like Robert Johnson now. Like supernovas, their shine is only seen many years after their demise.
I don't think so. Syd Barrett will always be an icon. Dave Gilmour said that along with BoB Dylan, Syd was one of the 3 or 4 most influential rock artists/innovators.
This is a very well imagined and refreshingly different presentations of one of the more unique artistic geniuses of the last century or more. Rare images and quite poignant recollections from those who knew Syd best. And the well-executed symphonic renditions of a number of his songs was a very nice touch as well. This is as much a piece of informative art as it is a standard documentary, which somehow feels more appropriate when discussing the life of an artist like Syd.
