| I think it it is a tragedy when Syd Barrett starts his own Band. And he is the chief pillar of the band. And without him the band Pink Floyd would not exist. Yet as soon as the other band members learn to copy his music style Syd gets fired from his own band and for the rest of his life he is treated like dirt. I mean to me a band should be almost like family but I guess today's music is just a business. |

I don't understand how the interviewer can criticize Pink Floyd as "loud". I suppose metal and punk didn't exist yet then. |
Well .... the punk sound actually was around in the 60s. MC5, for example. People just couldn't deal with it. |

I don't know the music they released after Syd Barret was out of the band sounds quite a bit different then when he was in the band. So I don't think they really copied anything....but yeah its possible the other members should have tried a little harder to help him....but all I can get is second hand information from books or the internet so I don't know what exactly took place and have heard a few different stories.

| Imagine that, helping somebody out rather than firing them. I guess that solution would have been too humane. We may never know all of the details but one thing is for sure. Society does not treat kindly people that are considered mentally ill. |

Thnx for the post Sweet, I showed this vid to my friend who likes Pink Floyd too, and he posted it on his FB wall.... 
Had a good laugh when he said they are loud. C'mon.... gimmie a break.... the stuff that they make TODAY is loud. Pink Floyd is just SUPERB classic music. |
