Syd would have been up there with the Beatles and David Bowie if he didn't lose his fucking mind.

>>71148409
I just can't imagine him not losing his mind.

the best

>>71148418
did he though?
I can't blame anyone decent from getting as far away from the music industry as possible.

>>71148418
Of course not. That became his entire persona unfortunately.
But listen to his writing throughout all his work and it's impossible to ignore how much potential he had. It's really heartbreaking honestly. Jugband Blues always makes me sad as hell.

One of my favorites. Such an emotional piece.

He showed up unannounced to the recording of Wish You Were here looking like this. You tell me.

>>71148516
Yeah, have seen those pics before.

Doesn't mean he was crazy though. Maybe he just wanted to get away from that world. Like I said, I can't blame him.

In the sad town
Cold iron hands clap
The party of clowns outside
Rain falls in gray far away
Please, please, baby lemonade

You gotta read the stories the other Floyd members tell about him. You can tell he was cracking up.

>>71148585
if you believe they're on the level.


Not saying I know. Could have been too much LSD, or maybe he just wanted out.

I've seen some of the paintings he was doing post fame. They're not bad/crazy.

>>71148617
I doubt Gilmour or Waters would lie about what happened. They were both good friends with him before the band. And yeah I think it was LSD. He basically was on it all the time. There's no way that doesn't fuck someone up royally.

In that regard, Syd kind of reminds me of Jeff Mangum. It sucks that they stopped writing music, but the same magical quality they had that makes them such otherworldly songwriters is also the quality that made them so temporary. They're like lightning in a bottle. The same quality that made Syd write "Floating, bumping, noses dodge a tooth, the fins a luminous" is the same quality that made him decide to quit music and just tend to his garden for the rest of his life.

I'm screaming i met you this way
you're nice to me like ice
in the clock they sent through a washing machine
come around make it soon, so alone..

:'(

I think that's a really good comparison actually. They both have the "what could have been" factor. And the fact that they both left music is one of the reasons they're such alluring figures.

Won't you miss me?
Wouldn't you miss me at all?

It could possibly still be

>>71149031
except the clues are for a new Olivia Tremor Control album, not a Neutral Milk Hotel album

>>71149031
If they did release a new album, what are the chances he's got another masterpiece left in him after all these years?
