RIP Syd.
Truly, truly a unique character.

RIP, Syd.

You can ride it if you like. It's got a basket, a bell that rings, and
things to make it look good. (he'd give it to you if he could but he
borrowed it)

Not long ago I bought "Barrett" & "The Madcap Laughs" on 180 g vinyl, since
the old ones were quite used up. Guess I'll give them some spin tonight
along with PATGOD
RIP

Not to piss on your parade, 'cause Shine On's some great stuff, but I
was thinking of all these great Floyd quotes I could put in here, but
all the quotes I know are post-Barrett. So my hat's off to all you who
have hung in there from the beginning.

his bike broke down for good (it was an old model) but his crazy diamonds
will shine on for a few more years.

PS there was a song many years ago that went something like:
"I don't want a pickle, I just want to ride my bicycle." To me that's him,
Roger Barrett all out. What a guy! He simply would not go for a pickle.

Actually, it was his motorsickle.
That was Arlo Guthrie, who was supposed to play the customs agent
(Sharleena's boyfriend, Babbette's master) in 200 Motels.

No offense taken here. I only really like four of Barrett's Floyd
songs, one of which is an instrumental (Interstellar Overdrive) and I
have no idea what his solo albums sound like. Nevertheless, I wish
the man a happy afterlife.
Despite the fact that Mr. Barrett's overall contribution to Pink Floyd
turned out to be minimal, he was still the inspiration for a good
chunk of their music long after his departure from the band. Hence,
the Shine On reference.

There are a few versionsof "Careful With That Axe, Eugene"; a studio
version on "Relics" and live versions on "Ummagumma" and the "Pompeii"
video. Which version were you talking about?
The song is written by (Waters, Wright, Gilmour, Mason) and the earliest
official version was originally the B-Side of a single released December 7,
1968 this cut was included on Relics.
Syd had retired from Pink Floyd by this time.

Ummagumma is the version I've heard. Wish I still had that album!

I suppose we'll have to name an asteroid for him now.
In the spirit of ZappaFrank1992, BarrettSyd2006?
Big Al Tomatoes
I don't know if anyone else in this group feels this way, but I became a
Zappa fan at around age 12, we're talking Bongo Fury, and I always spent
my money on Zappa stuff almost to the exclusion of all else. As a
result, my knowledge of other groups over the years is jack shit
compared to most people.

What other groups?

Other than Daevid Allen of Gong, Frankie is the only music higher
power.

Don't get me wrong - I love Frank and go/have gone through phases of
near worship - but the musical world is so large, so diverse, so
fucking beautiful, that I pity anyone who stops at any single artist,
or genre, or whatever. You are missing so much.
My tastes are all over the map and I'm certain I still know absolutely
nothing about 80% of what is out there that I'm sure I'd appreciate.
Imagine if you'd stopped at someone else at 12 and thus never heard
Frank - would you feel as sure of yourself as you do now?

"See Emily Play" was a fine pop piece, apparently all Barrett.
Had a real "Turtles" quality to it, & probably inspired Flo 'n Eddie.
There were other cuts on that 1st album that I liked, though they escape
me at the moment.
