I find it ridiculous to say they were unloyal to Syd at all, when just about every other bit of information written or on film says in fact the opposite.

They were a young group of lads themselves, and from what you say I can’t believe you didn’t know that it was the LSD that basically had a terrible effect on his mental health. Syd was taking copious amounts of LSD to experiment on, they tried getting him help but what can a bunch of kids out of college going to do, especially in the bloody 60s, when understanding addiction and the effects with that and mental health were little,

Many times he was incapable of actually performing, But still even when stardom and the drugs and mental illness became too much, the group decided that he would still get his cut of all moneys made by Pink Floyd, long after he went and till he passed away. Doesn’t sound like anything described above. In fact, I’d say it sounds like the exact opposite and the writings of someone who knows very little about Pink Floyd and especially how they felt about Syd. I mean, the song about Syd crazy diamond speaks volumes about how the group missed him. If anyone out there has come into contact
drugs and mental health problems, fact is unless that person wants serious help it isn’t going to happen, IMO it seems rather poorly analysed and definitely missing so much of the story especially when it came to the band’s love for Syd, a man with mental problems and because of drugs wanted no part of the showbiz life and making sweeping statements on their former bandmate basically on poor sound bites seems lame tbh.

If you’re actually interested in Pink Floyd, a one-hour poor documentary isn’t going to tell you much, especially with a few good ones out there like, The Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett Story, Making of Dark Side of The Moon and The Story of Wish You Were Here, plus others.
