Syd Barrett was probably not really an acid casualty!
Version 1.0.0
Peter Jenner (Floyd’s first manager): “Syd’s behaviour was avant-garde and I thought avant-garde was good. Of course in hindsight, we should have taken a break, but none of us knew what we were doing and we had an album out.”
Nick Mason (Floyd’s drummer): “We wanted to be pop stars and Syd didn’t.”
David Gilmour (Floyd’s guitarist): “I heard Piper At The Gates Of Dawn and was sick with jealousy.”
Nick Mason: “Other bands seemed so professional.”
Bob Ezrin (Collaborator on The Wall): “Roger Waters was fun to write with. He was just difficult to live with.”
David Gilmour: “(Atom Heart Mother was)… possibly our lowest point artistically.”
Rick Wright (Floyd’s keyboards): “Rock bands live or die by whether there anyone who can write. You don’t rock the boat.”
Roger Waters (Floyd’s bassist): “David played that descending guitar part in ‘Dogs’, which is very important, great in fact. But apart from that…”
Nick Mason: “Roger’s great mistake… was to underestimate David’s determination and resolve.”
David Gilmour: “If we could get away without talking to the press, we would.”
