| Syd Barrett (Music) | comment |
Roger Keith "Syd" Barrett (6 January 1946 - 7 July 2006) was an English singer, songwriter, and musician best known as a co-founder of Pink Floyd, and the band's frontman in their psychedelic years. His solo work is also often seen as a prime example of Outsider Music.With the band, Barrett recorded 3 singles and The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (writing nearly all the songs), but his mental health started to decline considerably as a result of excessive drug use, though many believe his breakdown would have happened anyway. He was subsequently forced to leave the band at the start of 1968 during the making of their second album A Saucerful of Secrets, and was replaced by David Gilmour. The rest of the band to this day feel extreme guilt for not being able to help him properly, though there was really very little they could do.After his departure, Barrett would go on to creating two solo albums. The first, The Madcap Laughs, was marred by poor production at certain songs (the ones produced by former band-mates Roger Waters and David Gilmour), but the second, Barrett, came off better (this time produced by Gilmour and with contributions by Richard Wright). He gave only one performance in that era — with Gilmour on bass and Jerry Shirley from Humble Pie on drums — only to leave the stage after four songs. He did perform for The BBC twice, though, and those performances would eventually be officially released.In January 1972, Barrett performed in a band called "The Last Minute Put Together Boogie Band", which would evolve into the band Stars with John "Twink" Alder note Who was in The Pretty Things just long enough to play on S.F. Sorrow on drums and Jack Monck on bass. Their performances ranged from brilliant to disastrous, and after reading a negative review the fragile Barrett quit immediately. The last time Barrett tried to record was in 1974, and that didn't go very well at all. After that, Barrett retired from the music industry for good.Barrett would visit Pink Floyd one last time in 1975 — coincidentally, just as they were completing their tribute to him, "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" off of Wish You Were Here (1975). Upon revisiting them, his hair and eyebrows were shaved off and he had gained quite a bit of weight; this dramatically changed appearance◊ and signs of further mental decline reduced Waters and Wright to tears. Apart from a brief encounter with Waters at Harrods a few years later, Barrett would never see the members of Pink Floyd again after that. Eventually, he moved in his mother's house and became a full-on recluse.During this time, Barrett went back to using his original name Roger, was often annoyed by paparazzi and fans, approved an odds-and-ends compilation album called Opel which is now part of his official discography, and continued to receive royalties from Gilmour for his work with Pink Floyd, which he lived on. Time did little to diminish interest in his work, and although he had become a legendary figure, he simply wanted to be left alone.Barrett's physical health started to decline in the 1990s due to diabetes and stomach ulcers, culminating in his death in 2006 from pancreatic cancer. The rest of Pink Floyd were naturally devastated, and others who cited Barrett as a major influence, such as David Bowie, also expressed sorrow. His work with Pink Floyd ensures his legacy, and Barrett remains fondly remembered to this day. | |

| Syd Barrett (Music) / int_3b9b21c9 | comment |
So Beautiful, It's a Curse: A possible case. He was constantly swamped by fans, especially horny fangirls...So sometime between 1974-75 he apparently got into overeating binges to get fat and shaved off all his hair (including brows & body). This resulted in him looking like Uncle Fester when he visited Abbey Road during the recording of Wish You Were Here (1975). | |

Growing Up Sucks: He was a proverbial "Peter Pan" who loved all things "childhood". note The Piper at the Gates of Dawn refers to chapter 7 of The Wind in the Willows, Syd's favorite book, where the god Pan is shown as a protector of baby animals. He was particularly affected by the death of his father as a pre-teen. | |

The Gadfly | |
| Syd Barrett (Music) / int_582564f5 | comment |
The Gadfly: Syd liked messing with his friends. After his sanity started to go he became even more frequent and elaborate. One very famous example is when he introduced a purposefully unlearnable song to his bandmates. Every time they had nailed the chording Syd would change it up, all while teasing them in song. This was one of the last times Syd rehearsed with Floyd. | |

Bunny-Ears Lawyer | |
| Syd Barrett (Music) / int_61b8f9e2 | comment |
Bunny-Ears Lawyer: After being chucked from Pink Floyd, Barrett's two solo albums showed that - even after having gone crazy - he was still a capable, witty songwriter. Pink Floyd themselves were very worried about continuing without Syd, as he had been writing almost all of the band's songs at that point. Waters and Gilmour helped produce Syd's first album and Gilmour and Wright his second, wanting to help their friend. One early suggestion was that David would tour and record with the band, while Syd would keep writing their songs and sing on the albums, like Brian Wilson's relationship with their labelmates The Beach Boys around the same time. The idea failed after Syd infamously taunted them with the unlearn-able "Have You Got It, Yet?". Waters noted that at the time Syd was kicked out of the band, "he was our friend, but most of the time we now wanted to strangle him." | |

The Pig-Pen: During his mental breakdown, Syd was, for a period, this (his apartment during 'The Madcap Laughs'/'Barrett' would border on Trash of the Titans, complete with cigarette butts and pet doo left on the floor).

Creepy Crossdresser: The reason "Arnold Layne" was a Panty Thief (see below) in the first place.

Also; Unlike the song, the police never caught the person raiding the clotheslines at Syd's mother's place, where she would use as a boarding house for folks such as college girls. The song was inspired by this event.. | |

Chick Magnet: And HOW! Also The Charmer, too. However, during his breakdown, his relations with women changed and he allegedly became abusive. | |

Guyliner: He wore this during his brief solo career. The effect was rather creepy, giving rise to his eyes being described as "black holes in the sky" in Pink Floyd's "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" | |

What Beautiful Eyes! | |
| Syd Barrett (Music) / int_adf84dea | comment |
What Beautiful Eyes!: Syd Barrett was famous for his◊, oft-lined, dramatic eyes. Those same eyes, however, could pull off the haunting Thousand-Yard Stare. | |

Stage Names | |
| Syd Barrett (Music) / int_ae50ca8f | comment |
Stage Names: "Syd" Barrett was born Roger Keith Barrett. He earned the nickname "Syd" when he was still a child, either after an old local jazz bassist called Sid Barrett or after he showed up at school wearing a flat cap. He went back to using his given name after leaving the music business. | |

Demoted to Extra | |
| Syd Barrett (Music) / int_b8e3f20a | comment |
Demoted to Extra: This happened with Barrett and Pink Floyd when his erratic behaviour and deteriorating mental health jeopardized the band and David Gilmour was brought in. He only appears on three songs on A Saucerful of Secretsnote Wright's "Remember A Day", Waters' "Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun" and his own "Jugband Blues". "Set The Controls" is the only Floyd song with both Barrett and Gilmour on it.. | |

Mundane Made Awesome: Syd was famous for using a slide, normally reserved for standard Blues guitar, for making those trippy, barely guitar-like sound effects. | |

Thousand-Yard Stare: Did this a lot during the period◊ where he was undergoing his mental breakdown◊...OR otherwise relatively mentally-healthy but tripping on LSD◊ (like he likely was in some photos)note Leave it to Syd to make a Thousand-Yard Stare strangely beautiful. | |

Keet: Started life◊ as this◊. Then came the mental breakdown◊ and he made a complete 180◊, becoming a quiet, monosyllabic recluse. Basically he went from Tigger to Eeyore. | |

| Syd Barrett (Music) / int_ee7a60e9 | comment |
One-Steve Limit: One might think that he chose a stage name specifically to avoid having two Rogers in Pink Floyd, but he had the nickname Syd from a very young age. Interestingly, it was the other Roger - Roger Waters - who chose to use his middle name as a stage name, rather than his given name George. | |
