PFDAN Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - he's on acid, acid will make you play with objects, including mushshrooms
PFDAN Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - yea he's on acid thats it, syd did alot of acid and im pretty sure just acid, at least thats the only drug i hear that he does. i havent ever read or heard of him taking anything else alot like he did on acid, im not sayin he didnt do other drugs because he prolly did cause he lived during the drug era..

Aug 20, 2008 - i don't think it was the first acid of syd...

Aug 20, 2008 - It wasn't:) Whoever it was that first named it that either didn't know much about it or took a bit of artistic license to make it more interesting. Somehow "A Syd Trip" doesn't draw in as many viewers.It used to be rare, but of course it's been duplicated and shared relentlessly. It's an interesting clip, yet at the same time I feel a lot of guilt for finding it interesting, because it is rather sad

Aug 20, 2008 - How many trips did Syd take?
PazzoComeSydBarrett Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - Che vergogna questo filmato... fate vedere anche gilmour e wright che tirano su la coca... o magari mason e waters che si ubriacano...Syd ha smesso a 25 anni ...Gilmour l'avrebbe fanno rimuovere all'istante un fi
PazzoComeSydBarrett Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - continua: filmato così...Povero Roger Barrett... E tutta la merda che gli è stata rovesciata dai suoi " amici " ...

Aug 20, 2008 - why don't you get off your stupid American ass and learn to speak chinese. Or does the world revolve around you only? Syd would be saddened by your ignorance
jherskine Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - Why should any American have to learn to speak Chinese (or any other foreign language) if they don't want to?Chinese need to learn to speak English if they want to be successful in world commerce, not the other way around!Just because you European pipsqueaks are spineless appeasers doesn't mean that us Americans are!And as for what Syd would think...FUCK HIM!

Aug 20, 2008 - If ALL Europeans were really spineless,like you said,then what are our troops doing fighting YOUR enemies down in the middle east?(a war your government started to begin with)There`s no need to start offending every European calling us all `spineless`Alright, what exactly makes us inferior in your opinion then?
nx9017 Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - Ur right it wasn't his first trip at all he'd been takin plenty of LSD before this but first time with mushrooms, so sad especially in the run up to leavin PF he just didn't know what he was doin, hope he has the peace now that he didn't find then RIP

Aug 20, 2008 - Don't listen to that idiot, not every american is gungho about this so called "war on terrorism" it's a war over oil and money, government doesn't give a fuck about those people, and honestly we'll be invading many more countries after this is over, get ready. that's why american education is as shitty as it is, raise em' stupid and they'll believe everything you tell them. We are sheep, that is all.
Neiko410 Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - Maybe I'm all wrong about this but somewhere in my mind I'm feeling that film was a big part of his dreams. I think he knew this film would be around for a long time. I only have one wish. I wish the film wasn't so jerky. I think under better conditions it would have been a wonderful film. As best as I can tell I get a lot of positive vibes from the film. Thank you.

Aug 20, 2008 - Thanks for acknowledging that we americans at least have enemies there not just innocent civilians.

Aug 20, 2008 - nx9017, he knew man.... this was his path in life.
pushedbyboredom Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - He had taken acid plenty of times leading up to this. This is Syd Barret's first mushroom trip. I think his buddy filmed it. As far as other drugs, I dunno.
PFDAN Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - ACID TRIP, not mushroom trip
pushedbyboredom Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - i know for a fact this is Syd Barretts first MUSHROOM trip and not acid trip. It was filmed by Peter Whitehead and Nigel Gordon."Syd had taken his first trip in 1965 in his friend Dave Gale's garden, ingesting liquid LSD-25...According to Gordon, who a year later would film the so-called Syd's First Trip home movie as Barret enjoyed his first experience of mushrooms, the impact of this trip was very intense." - MOJO Magazine, September 2006So...mushrooms then.
