anyone know how sid was removed?

not "because he was tripping"

but he wasss

Megadeath???

we have a metal head

woohoo

I LOVE metal chicks

was a head banger for many years

till my neck gave out

I was into metal in my teens. Now at 27 I have mellowed out a bit. Faith No More, Queens of the Stone Age and Pearl Jam is probably as heavy as I go now. Much lighter than the likes of Pantera, Sepultura, Megadeath, old Metallica etc. that I used to obsess over.

I used to be known as a "Bev Chick". Don't know if the term "bevan" is solely Aussie or not but it basically referred to someone who wore tight black jeans, band t-shirt (metallica and guns n' roses being a popular choice) with a checked flannelette shirt over the top. Boy has that gone out of style now.

But seriously... I'm sure I heard somewhere that one of Pink Floyd's original names was Megadeath but I can't find anything on the net to back that up. Will have to ask my boyfriend later as he is a huge PF fan.

They did a show and they didn't bother to pick him up.

ah you have a bf

DAMN

but you are partially correct

"All that was left now was a guitarist (Syd Barrett), a bassist (Roger Waters), a pianist (Rick Wright), and a drummer (Nick Mason). The band had many names at different times such as, The Screaming Abdabs, T-Set, The Meggadeaths,"

but meggadeaths was much later in the bands history



GOOD CALL!!!!!!!!

Cool, its good to be partially right. Now I know I'm not really going nutty. They've had some weird names. Glad they settled with Pink Floyd eventually.

He went insane? Too much acid?

yeah

back in those days it was legal

ive done too much acid and look at me

im a fucking Pornographer

Pink Floyd wrote Shine On You Crazy Diamond as a greeting to Syd Barrett. Today, Syd Barrett lives a quiet life in his Cambridge home.


from what a friend (big fan of syd) told me till this day his mind is fucked up from the heavy lsd usage he did in the past.

yup

to much acid will do that to ya

Living Proof

hehehe

WHAT????

No ONe

im shocked

come on floyd fans

I've got a bike, you can ride it if you like...

far-L

a floyd fan



found seom Floyd ONLY internet radio stations

been jammin to live shit (boot legged) ive never heard

cant give out the url yet

thats where i found the above trivia question

" This place is biger than ourr apartment"

Even though I don't know the answer to that one...

Are you familiar with the bonus cuts on the "Zabriskie Point" soundtrack?

Excellent stuff to seek out if you have not already heard it...

No im not

But know I have something to do tonite

What was the question again?

makle sure it a FOUNDING member

Before they were floyd and he was not there when they became PF

Some of my favorite tunes were Syd Barret creations like Interstellar Overdrive, Set the controls for the heart of the sun, if you havent't heard the Ummagumma album, get in the car and go by it it will blow your mind.

I din't care too much for Syd Baretts goofy songs as I think the rest of the band didn't.

He would sometimes go to live shows or practice sessions and just bang out one chord or even one note for hours on end so they replaced him, although if you listen to those tunes I mention or other greats like Careful With That Axe Eugene you will quickly see the genius in this man.

Trip with Floyd

opss someone got the band member already

gornyhuy

name the Orig name of the band

first one

they had like 5 or 6 before pink floyd

Sigma 6

In 1964, three friends; George Roger Waters (guitar), Richard Wright (keyboards), & Nick Mason (drums) (all students at the Regent Street School Of Polytechnics), formed a band called Sigma 6. Unsuccessful to get famous, The band changed their name to The T-Sets. Later in middle 1965, the band became The Abdads, with new members Clive Metcalf on bass guitar, and Keith Nobles and Julliette Gale on backup vocals. The band changed their name to both The Screaming Abdads, and The Architectural Abdads. In 1966, Julliette Gale married Rick Wright and The Abdads broke up. Later that year George legally changed his name to Roger. In Autumn 1966, the band became Sigma 6 again, Roger switched to bass guitar, and they recruited 2 guitar players; Bob Close and Roger Syd Barret. Before long they changed their name to The Pink Floyd Sound.

Later that year, Bob Close left the band. The band finally had a chance to record their first single, Arnold Layne, a song about a crazy transvestite who steals women's clothes. Before long, they dropped the words the and sound in the name and made their first album, The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn. The studio rented out to make the album, was right down the hall from where The Beatles were recording Sgt. Peppers, so the band got to know The Beatles very well.

The band had a subsequent tour scheduled for the U.S.A., but Syd got very sick from being blasted on LSD (better know as acid). His LSD addiction helped his imagination to write songs, but around the time of A Saucerful Of Secrets, his drug habits were out of control.

By the end of 1967, Syd was becoming to spaced out for his writings. The band considered getting a replacement for Syd. They recruited David Gilmour, an old friend of Roger and Syd's. Syd got guitar lessons fro David in Grammar and High School.

David was recruited to cover for Syd on stage. If Syd were to make a mistake, David would fill the gap, and fix it. That didn't work out. David would cover for Syd on stage while Syd stayed behind stage and wrote songs. That didn't work out.

The band tried as hard as they could to keep Syd in the band, but his acid addiction took control of him and he went crazy. The band finally decided to kick out Syd. Syd wanted to see their show that night but they didn't pick him up. Goodbye Syd Barret. He was institutionalized for drug abuse in 1974.

In later 1968, the band continued on without Syd. This was a major tragedy in England, but not in America. Another major tragedy was when David Gilmour's Telecaster was stolen in Chicago. Later that year, the band played a gig in France, and one of the attendees of the show was famous French hippie movie director, Barbet Schroder. He asked Pink Floyd to do the soundtrack to his next picture, More, which would come out in 1969. The band also had an unreleased rock opera the played on-stage, called The Man and The Journey, which they took 3 songs from for the More Soundtrack; Sleep/Nighmare (which would become Cymbaline), Green Is The Colour, and Death (which both parts of the song became both Main Theme and Dramatic Sequence).

The album and movie would be a success in Europe and Britian. The band retired The Man and The Journey before being recorded, but used one song from the album called The Narrow Way. Barbet Schroder would ask the band to do another soundtrack for another movie in 1972 called Le Vallee, known in America and Britian as The Valley Obscured By Clouds.

I did not know this... http://www.pinkfloydonline.com/history2.html


Only problem is, Michael Jackson's "thriller" isn't a rock album.

My mate was in 'The Wall' movie when he was 3. He is the blonde haired kid picking up the bricks and putting them into a wheel barrow.

AWESOME!

The original line up on Pink Floyd's firts single - Apples and oranges was
Syd Barrett , Roger Waters , Nick Mason , Richard Wright.
It was produced by Norman Smith.

He is now a session guitarist and would be massive if it wasnt for the fact that he is an alchoholic...

The majority of the Wall was made in my home town -
The bit where several soldiers were running down to the sea was shot at Saunton - Devon - Many people I know were extras in the film -
