July 11, 200620 yr Syd Barrett(Roger Keith Barrett) died on Friday 7th July......im very sad right now. All i can say that he is one of my heroes and I will never forgett him. R.I.P SYD
July 12, 200620 yr I am seriously bummed about this one. I'm mostly disappointed that we'll never get to hear Syd speak for Syd. All we have now are the many rumors and whatnot. Oh well. We'll always have The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. And The Madcap Laughs and Barrett.
July 12, 200620 yr Not only that, but if ever there was music in 'the vault' it'll come out now...everybody's going to jump on the bandwagon...ad nausiem...but at least the music'll be good!
July 12, 200620 yr It is quite sad news, I love listening to Piper At The Gates of Dawn. Intersteller Overdrive is my fav Barret-lead Song (I've not heard any of his solo material) In the light of all this though, maybe there is a possibility of one final performance of Wish You Were Here or even Shine On... Could be possible Rest In Peace
July 13, 200620 yr Syd Barrett is dead Syd Barrett is dead...A great man, a genius, an incredible musician... Goobye and Good luck, Syd!
