  1. I listen to Madcap Laughs and Barrett all the time, they're some of my favorite albums! The last few tracks on Madcap Laughs were incomplete and mixed in a rush, unfortunately. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Madcap_Laughs#David_Gilmour_and_Roger_Waters_sessions However, towards the end of July, on the 26th,[38] they managed to record "She Took a Long Cold Look at Me",[nb 10][17][37][38] "Feel",[17][38] "If It's in You",[17][38] another version of "Long Gone",[nb 11][37][38] an attempt at a re-make of "Dark Globe",[nb 12][37] and even a medley of "She Took" / "Feel" / "If It's in You".[37][39] Barrett would not allow the musicians to rehearse or to re-record their overdubs, insisting that they sounded fine.
  2. He must have been bored or had a day off or something, he was lurking in here all day waiting for victims lol.
  3. I don't think he was a tragic a figure as people make him out to be. I think sometimes people projected their own disappointments on Syd, as they seem to do with many celebrities/public figures. Obviously he went overboard with drugs but as one of the Floyd's said (can't remember who, or the exact quote) the drugs just exacerbated something deeper. I believe Syd was just very depressed and disillusioned with fame and all the trappings and expectations that came with it. If you listen to the songs I posted you can see he was still plenty capable of writing and performing good music, he eventually just had enough and wanted to live out a normal, quiet life near his family, which some people just couldn't accept/understand.
  4. ha! I thought about going there but didn't, he probably would've responded with a Lori Maddox reference. Oh well, looks like he was a man of his word and left. Hopefully...
  5. Wow I've heard both songs a million times but never noticed that, I hear it now though!
  6. Looking forward to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuK7R3QKkUc
  7. BTW I believe they successfully sued the Beastie Boys? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAQCHZpM_3I
  8. IMO one of the greatest guitar solos of all-time, dare I say 'Stairway-esque'!?!?! Starts mid-tempo, builds and builds to an incredible finish.
  9. BTW I should have remembered from your post in this thread! http://forums.ledzeppelin.com/index.php?/topic/9182-who-is-your-fav-tele-or-film-character/?p=770280
  10. Wow I was just thinking about this last night! Everyone always makes a stink about Zep's plagiarism, but surely others have at least been 'heavily inspired' by them. Here's a few: (Whole Lotta Love much?) BIGLY
  11. The one I posted above is the only Syd one I've read, it has very good Amazon reviews, for what its worth.
  12. Great book on Syd: http://www.amazon.com/Syd-Barrett-Crazy-Diamond-Floyd/dp/1846097398/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1409170294&sr=1-1&keywords=syd+barrett
