Rest in Peace, Roger Barrett.
I wonder if his paintings will be made public anytime soon? I heard that's one of the things who loved to do was paint, mostly fractal paintings too, no surprise.

Indeed.
Cnn said "The spokeswoman said a low-key, private funeral would be held. She did not disclose the cause of death."
Hopefully, the real cause will leak, but It does'nt really matter much .

Syd will go down as a major pioneer in music.
I can only hope that as a result of this Waters/Gilmour put aside their petty bitching and reunite for a Farewell to Syd tour.

I'm glad this got stickied, because we would definitely have like 15 of these threads floating and dying, in here.

Never was a fan.
I find Piper at the Gates PF's worst album and thank god everyday he left. We probably wouldn't have Darkside or Wish You Were Here if he'd stay around.

Definately not, since both albums were basically based around his leaving. But he defined their sound, allowing them to do something different.

Wow, just wow. I actually think this is about the only celebrity death that upsets me a little. Syd(Roger) Barret has been such a huge influence in music. His cutting edge style is what gave Pink Floyd enough creativeness to become extremely successfull. He will be missed.

I was going to upload Madcap Laughs but my computer has gone wacko on me.It is the most poetic album ever. there is nothing else like it out there.His ability to make you experience what he was feeling and show you his world was truly rare.
Someone in OTD uploaded one song from it though http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/5846608#Post5846608

Sad day indeed, His music being such an intricate part of my life. I'm part of the generation that grew up with his music less than 5 years after he made it. His music always exuded a child-like inspiration that grounded me when adult life took it's emotional toll on me.
I just want to say that no other musician, short of a few beatle songs, influenced my life as much as he did. I feel truly blessed that he touched my life in the way that he did.

Been Listening to wish you were here since the day of his death.
You may not like his music but, he is the true insperation behind Pink Floyd.
Respect should be given

that's a photo from the madcap photo sessions, from what I understand, he painted the floor and placed things around the room for the photo session, roger was an artist, and good damn good one.
some lyrics of his I found amusing..
"please, please, please lift the hand I'm only a person with Eskimo chain I tattooed my brain all the way... Won't you miss me...? Wouldn't you miss me at all...?"

Make some effort, and He will grant you a vision of Himself in the form of bliss in your heart." -the saint of the Kashmir Shaivism tradition: Lalli.

"How I wish, how I wish you were here. We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year, Running over the same old ground. What have we found? The same old fears. Wish you were here."
Shine on you crazy diamond. RIP.
-------------------- The story goes, or the way that I was told There was a king that always felt too high and then he fell too low And so he called all the wise men to the hall And begged them for a gift to end the rises and the falls But here’s the thing, they came back with a ring It was simple and was plainly unbefitting of a king Engraved in black, it had no front or back But there were words around the band that said Just know: This Too Shall Pass
