Did Rick really say this????

Never said I was referring to you, did I?

It wouldn't surprise me if Rick had said such a thing...but this is the first I've ever heard of it.

Ricks solo albums are all out of print so theres nothing to sell
its funny they werent reissued after his death, youda thunk thered be interest, especially after he costarred in Daves last tour

Excuse me for dragging up an old topic, but Wet Dream was reissued in 2008 in Australia. Might still be available.

I'd like to say it saddens me to hear they hate their early masterpieces...

I am reading this piece:
http://www.sydbarrett.net/subpages/arti ... s_on_s.htm

and it states: Even the Floyd's Rick Wright, drunk on the success of "Dark Side Of The Moon", said of Barrett's songs, "I think they're appalling . . .musically, they're atrocious."

Anyone know if this is an accurate quote? If so i just lost an enourmous amount of respect for Rick.

It wasn't so much Barrett's songs Rick was refering to...in fact he thought Syd was a brilliant writer...it was the two solo albums and the ram-shackled state the tunes came out like due to Syd's condition at the time. That's what he was talking about....and I've heard it, not read it, in an interview. Haven't looked at this article you list but I'm guessing Rick's quote was taken out of context. Rick had great respect for Syd and his music both...just not the condition the songs were released in.
