skala67 Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 because of the countless ramblings and off subject talks of the greatest CG Firm "Pink Floyd" thought you should all know that today is a day of reflection.... http://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/Music/07/11/britain.floyd/index.html *shine on you crazy diamond* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario Pende Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I find this stupid! First, Syd was present just on the first album of Pink Floyd and yes he did wrote a lot of songs on that album. But seriously I even dont refer the name Pink Floyd to the 1st album. Its far from their style that has evolved when Syd left and David jumped into the band.

skala67 Posted July 11, 2006 Author Share Posted July 11, 2006 yes, you are correct about his lack of direct involvement in the evolution of floyd, but the inspiration of many of their greatest songs and albums (wish you were here, the wall) were directly related to Syd Barrett. He did go on to a life of nothing while Floyd rose to the stratosphere, but in the beginning without him, most likely no floyd. They would have ended up finishing school and becoming architects....god forbid.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRAT Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 yes. Syd was ironically nothing to do with the Floyd style music everyone knows and loves, but Floyd wouldn't be if Syd wasn't. R.I.P. dude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Cassil Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 To reitorate what others have said, Syd did not conciously contribute to the bands direction after his demise into madness. However, it was the demise itself, that inspired (at least partially and sometimes wholly) every single Floyd album. Shine on Syd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Haven't heard that, but Johhny Depp's 15 minutes are up--he needs to go away now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IC Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Haven't heard that, but Johhny Depp's 15 minutes are up--he needs to go away now. Why? I really can't think of any reason someone would feel that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
