Is Syd’s music worth listening to? Did he really lose his mind or has it been exaggerated?

Octopus is good song

>UP DOWN TO AND FWO

It has been kind of exaggerated imo. I think his music is really worth listening to i think his best works are the madcap laughs and the piper at the gates of dawn

Shine on You crazy Diamond

So what really happened to him? I once saw a thread in which people were insisting the whole thing was a lie spun by Roger Waters in a power-grab. How does that explain the WYWH photo?

I heard that he began thinking that he was a glass of orange juice, and that if anyone tried to shake hands with or hug him, he would flail around, screaming "NO, DON'T, YOU'LL SPILL ME!!"

Yes.

stop stealing my name

ok

His entire solo discography is like three hours long. Just listen to it OP.
I personally like the stuff, but desu he peaked with Piper.

Wew way to shit up another tread lad.

It isn't over-stated.

I don't want to moral-fag this but its just that poor mental health isn't like self-diagnosed tumblrites imagine it to be. It makes people boring, it makes people inconsistent and it makes them annoying. It was Mandies that fucked up Syd, not LSD.

Mandies = MDMA?

Syd took too much drugs and went home to live to live like a neet/apu frog

>Did he really lose his mind
You have no idea how lost that man become. We only have second hand stories from Pink Floyd.
And they said he was in a horrible, horrible way.

Wtf is a Mandie

mandies mean mandrax tranquilizers

Poor Syd :(
Also look! I'm Crazium!
Just thought I'd reiterate my name on this anonymous forum is Crazium!
Let's turn Sup Forums into Reddit one namefag at a time!

Yes yes no

LEL.

:3
:3c

So it wasn’t LSD... source?

guys please stop doing this to me

I heard that during one of their concerts he was so fried that he literally played one not over and over again for like 3 songs, and then some stage hands escorted him off stage and they brought a new guitarist out.

Playing high is really difficult , I heard g'n'r had to blend in a tape deck live sometimes because they were so trollied

on a side note, i love to eat my own farts

There is no source, but its improbable when almost any other drug is involved

This is a hugely misleading presentation of data

>ITT albums that gave you nightmares

Definitely mental illness and some type of autism some of it brought on by drug use likely. He and his family are lucky he didnt stay around in the public for too long after. From all ive read his sister and mother had a terrible time over it all.

I will stop once you admit that being a trip/name fag is completely Reddit
Also admit you're an attention whore

he took too many quaaludes and fried his brain.

Name figs need to burn

>Did he really lose his mind or has it been exaggerated?
You tell me.

Yes It's not exaggerated

He certainly had some mental issues, but from what i've also read he didn't really get any help from either his family nor his friends, i'm guessing loneliness and a drug habit can't take you very far.

this was reportedly on a tour with Jimi Hendrix

this is true. I've read every book I could find on Syd. He probably had some kind of autism and nobody gave him help.

fuking soyboy!!!

>harm score

Yeah, it's surprisingly competent given his mental state. Personally I think Barrett is his best, but Madcap is good too. The compilation Opel is worth a listen too.
