No they only had to pay him royalties on the music he was involved with. Anyone who is a true Floyd buff knows that was one album and about 1/3 of the 2nd album. Those albums in fact were lost to any real radio play or sales until AFTER Dark Side Of The Moon. But David Gilmour made sure Barrett got royalties. To those saying "THEY" were jerks to each other over money should do some research!! Roger Waters is the one who caused the money issues!! He gave no writing credits to Richard Wright and damn few to Nick Mason. As time went on he even tried to cut Gilmour's writing credits to zero. When in fact Waters could barely play the bass, let alone guitar, or any other instrument. The writing credits are where the royalties come from. Much like Jerry Cantrell made sure that Mike Starr wasn't credited with writing songs for Alice In Chains (Mike has a grand total of 4 writing credits). So please be careful who you accuse of what. There's a reason Gilmour doesn't want to be chummy with Waters. There's also a reason that Gilmour and Mason won the lawsuit to be able to continue to play under the name Pink Floyd once Roger got mad and took his ball and went home.

What's interesting is in the movie Lords of Dogtown there is a heartfelt moment when a bunch of friends skate a swimming pool with their friend who is dying from terminal cancer, the song Wish You were here is featured in a very emotional scene and the name of the character who is dying?

I've had a hypothesis for a long time now, listen to 'Jugband Blues,' it's often used as evidence that Syd Barrett was losing his mind. Certainly he had issues, but I think he's saying something else in that song. Pay particular attention to the part where he sings "I'm most obliged to you for making it clear that I'm not here." I believe that part is less about having a moment of clarity where you realize you're going mad, but more about loneliness and getting pushed out of a band. I think he found out he was getting replaced and he didn't appreciate it

This guy got the "details" wrong? Syd suggested to the rest of the band to bring David in. At one point Floyd had 5 members and one day they just didn't take Syd to a gig, that's how it happened.

One thing I never understood was, if he was so far gone, how did he have the wherewithal to come to the studio that day?

Actually, Syd Barrett visited the Wish You Were Here sessions twice; once in June 5th 1975 (when this pic was taken) and the other was July 7th during David Gilmour's wedding. There's a pic from that day as well where he's sitting on a chair smoking a cigarette with a white shirt with red stripes.

Second, when I was younger, I used to try many hallucinogens, along with others peoples. I witnessed first hand some people going mad by the use of it. And it fits perfectly with the videos and photos and testimonies I've read and seen. Usually, going crazy with hallucinogens is defined with paranoia, schyzophrenia and depression, just saying.. Some people wake up after a while, but some never come back.

Psychedelic drugs (pretty much LSD here I presume) are not physically addicting like opiates or say, alcohol . As mentioned elsewhere Syd was likely self-medicating with already existing mental issues I am not the one to specify. it is interesting to me me that so many 60s musicians took a boatload of acid and seem *relatively* together and coherent after the fact. And yet there was a few like Syd, Brian Wilson, Skip Spence, Peter Green...where LSD seemed to be the catalyst for going over the edge. Brian Wilson made it back to functional even productive though still clearly scarred. Syd and others never returned. Tragic.

David recognized him

The guy was bi polar and probably schizophrenic. He had issues before his acid trips. I remeber as a Londoner. He used to walk his two dogs on the common not far from where I lived. Not long before he passed away. I used to ride my horse I had at the time. I used to see him 2-3 times a week when I rode everyday... We wasn't always there. He used to go out about the time the sun went up. So you'd see him coming out of the early morning mist. He and his two dogs. Head down .... Never paid any attention to anyone. Never spoke because people left him alone. I only knew who he was when one day my horse spooked at his dog that had got away from him . Sid came over to APPOLOGIES for his dog scaring my horse. One look close up of his eyes. I knew who her was as he looked up to APPOLOGIES. He was very polite. Seemed worried I'd get hurt. I told him I'd be ok. Thankyou for checking on me. He sort of smiled and waved and walked off. After that when I saw him he'd often wave to me and I'd wave back. 2006. And I wake up early to go riding. And I turn on the radio.... And hear he passed. I was heartbroken. . I like Pink Floyd quite alot. Sid to anyone who saw him in those morning's was just another dog walker. It was a hard hit when he left. RIP SID BARRETT. .

If you take herion maybe 1-2 times buddy you develop a very serious dependency because that drug is very powerful, and can be incredibly difficult to get off and for some people, the psychological effects, urge to lapse never really goes away. I've read interviews from rock stars, Hollywood actors, from Yoko Ono, Anthony Keidis, John Frusciante of Red Hot Chili Peppers and Steven Tyler of Aerosmith who made similar observations. Sometimes, it is the actual substance itself, its potency, strength and dependency makes you addicted, not necessarily individual's unique or particular personality. Narcotics, especially the more purer, higher grade variety are a radically different animal then psychedelics or even cocaine, where for some, the dependency levels are more gradual. Meaning, for most people it might take little more time to get seriously addicted to it.

If you look at the promo photos of the band from the Syd years, he's absolutely the best-looking member - he could have been a total rock-star. Nick Mason's book strongly suggests that he was forced out of the group, and not necessarily due to drug use. Dave Gilmour muscled his way in and usurped all of Syd's contributions...

How the hell did he get into Abby Road?

One thing you forgot to mention about Syd, was at the parties he was going to in 1967 the people he was mixing with there were virtually throwing acid into his drinks! At least that’s what Roger Waters has said about him in interviews in the past!!!!

HAPPY 74TH BIRTHDAY ROGER KEITH "SYD" BARRETT!

I still listen to Piper at Gates of Dawn a lot, the originality and creativity of Syd was amazing. But He was a very troubled man and with all the drugs he took it just couldn’t last.

Is this a reupload?

Damn...

The more a fella hears, the more he thinks that poor Syd was schizophrenic.

This conversation between Roger & syd never happened, syd did not hear the mix of SOYCD in the studio that day

I think if you eat sugar cubes dripped from a glass of LSD, but forgetting which cubes you've put LSD on, making some cubes have a heck of a lot and some none, then I'm not surprised Syd had mental health issues. Some could have had an amazing amount of LSD on them. And from what I've read I think that's true. It's a bloody shame. David Bowie said that Syd was the first English singer to sing without an American accent and promoting images projected into the background behind the band to make them look 'art' like. Just a shame.

I loved Divison Bell. Which was such a waste of inactivity after .. if they could have pulled ONE more album lol.. Bell was either a hit or miss with fans .. but man.. such a good album .. has nothing to do with this topic .. but.. hey.. feeling RANDO!!🙃

Gilmour confirmed in an interview this did not happen on his wedding day

Correcting some classic Floyd bs - they might have felt sad for Syd, but Gilmore was actually a real friend since before Pink Floyd and I think it was more out of love, rather than pity or guilt. Same goes for royalties. They would never have become what they became if Syd hadn’t had the wheel during those first years.

I prefer the band with Syd. RIP Syd.

No Syd no pink. Syd's the man behind floyd.present or not. he's the nucleus

Who else tried to brush their teeth by holding the tooth brush still while jumping up and down after watching this?

Barrett suggested they bring Gilmour into the band, Gilmour didn't replace him?

This story is common knowledge these days to most Floyd fans Waters talking about it on Fallon with Fallon trying to get laughs out of syd’s sickness and waters wasn’t having it

“Fallon trying to get laughs” yeah sounds like Fallon alright. He often fails at that.

I wasn’t aware they actually carried on conversations w/ him in the studio. Was under the impression that no one even spoke to him. The jumping up & down while brushing his teeth is also need to me

Would like to hear a video about the legendary unrecorded pink Floyd song called have you got it yet. Syd kept changing the rhythm and chord progression whenever anyone came close to getting the song right

Lame claim to fame: my brother was taught audio engineering by the guy who crept on stage and switched off Syd Barrett's amplifier mid-song during his final gig with Pink Floyd, because he had just been playing rubbish.

Do some BOWIE

Poor Syd... I wonder if schizophrenia, mixed with all the psychedelics, led to his mental state. He was just about the age that schizophrenia starts to display symptoms. I just don't know...

@@creightonrochlin9341 I didn't know that. But, in Syd's case, it certainly would make sense.

BOLLOCKS ROGER! How dare you say about Barrett ~ "He's certainly not nearly as important, as people say, in terms of Pink Floyd." Yes, Syd wrote the songs but he also sang them! He was the Lead Vocalist, Lead Guitarist and the group's focal point! You were just part of the Rhythm Section! You only contributed one song, the unmemorable "Take Up Thy Stethoscope And Walk" on the "Piper" album! Syd named the band for Christ's sake! You selfishly admit you felt threatened by Barrett which gives credence to the theory that YOU were the prime mover in ousting him from his band! You didn't explain why he didn't speak to you when you ran into him in the department store! He couldn't stand the sight of you and hated it when someone mentioned your name in his presence. He would go into a rage shouting how YOU took his band away from him! Note: There are a couple of mistakes in the narrative regarding Roger Waters involvement in Syd's "The Madcap Laughs" album. Roger and David only produced a few Acoustic Guitar numbers which were not fit for release! I can't believe Waters put out those dreadful songs! I think it was sabotage! Roger Waters did not play Bass on the "The Madcap Laughs".

I kinda think the drugs damaged what was probably an already unsound mind.

Kicking Syd out of the band was the best decision they ever made. Roger Waters developed into a great writer and without him there never would have been great albums like Wish You Were Here, Darkside, Wall, Animals, etc

The Jason Knight Fiasco Band And ironically much of those albums are to do about Syd.

He probably just thought they were a bunch of squares.
