Re: The truth about Syd's mental condition.
Few people fail to mention, though that there is a history of mental illness in his family. He had a 50/50 shot when he started, and the drugs just narrowed those odds even more. Maybe he was doomed anyway, maybe not. Who knows?

Re: The truth about Syd's mental condition.
In all honesty, I think that Syd's excessive use of Mandrax (quaaludes) did more harm to his mental well-being than the pot smoking or LSD. I also think it undoubtedly caused the ulceration of his stomach which plagued him for many years.

Re: The truth about Syd's mental condition.
He was happy as long as someone didn't try to bring up "the good old days."
I know I wouldn't be happy if I was trying to just live my life, and someone who hadn't seen me in a long time came running up and said, "HEY! It's you! I can't believe it! Remember that time you got drunk and was farting on people to gross them out, but one of them came out soupy? You totally shit on yourself, dude! It was WILD! Good times, man! Good times!"
And I would have went and then slammed the door in their face or told them to "fook off" as Bob Geldof would put it!

Re: The truth about Syd's mental condition.
Not that I'm disputing your statement, but how do you know he had a history of mental illness in his family? Where's the evidence/source?bpmolder wrote:Few people fail to mention, though that there is a history of mental illness in his family.

Re: The truth about Syd's mental condition.
yeah but i dont think he had it, i mean if music is a way to get your emotions out and it didnt start sounding depressed in any way at all until after he was on the drugs and being threatened of getting kicked out of the band..
