Never thought Syd's stuff was all that great, and he was a genuine dick to the rest of the band in his last years with them.
Though they thought enough of him to continue paying him and his family royalties for years, even from albums that he was never a part of. |

Though they thought enough of him to continue paying him and his family royalties for years, even from albums that he was never a part of. They paid respect to their friend. His is a sad story. He supposedly had strong mental issues, developing even before the drug abuse. From Wiki: Barrett had one noted reunion with the members of Pink Floyd, in 1975 during the recording sessions for Wish You Were Here. He attended the Abbey Road session unannounced, and watched the band record "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" — a song that happened to be about Barrett. By that time, the 29-year-old Barrett had become quite overweight, had shaved off all of his hair (including his eyebrows), and his ex-bandmates did not at first recognise him. Barrett's behaviour at the session was erratic; he spent part of the session brushing his teeth. Roger Waters finally managed to ask him what he thought of the song and he simply said "sounds a bit old". Until his death, Barrett received royalties from his work with Pink Floyd from each compilation and some of the live and studio albums and singles that featured his songs; Gilmour commented that he "made sure the money got to [Barrett]." According to local newspapers, Barrett left approximately £1.7 million to his two brothers and two sisters. This sum was apparently largely acquired from royalties from Pink Floyd compilations and live recordings featuring songs he had written while with the band. |

His so called "friends", not his band mates, would dose his tea, food, water with acid and keep him tripping for weeks at a time. They thought it was funny. It's no wonder he lost his mind. Quoted:

Everyone's got an opinion so here's mine..... I just dont see any talent there  I think his talent was more as a songwriter than musician. Lyricist. There was brilliance there, perhaps. I wish we could have heard. With this, I agree |
