And even if he hadn't burnt out and become incapable of performing anymore, the team of Waters and Gilmour had taken over and didn't need him. Not that they were happy about the decision *cough* WYWW. |

Says you. All of the classic 70's albums would have suffered with Barrett trying to elbow in on Waters' amazing visions.
|
Don't take Roger's word for it. I think Waters obviously did a lot for the band, but I think that Syd could have brought them to further levels and brought some more flavours to the picture than were already there. Major what if because I think he would have gone weird with schizophrenia regardless, but I don't think he would detract from it.
|
I'm really not able to put together a top 5, well, bottom 5, but I do believe that it would include the murder of Dimebag Darrell.
|
So who apart from Dimebag and Lennon were assassinated? I think Dime might be the only mass shooting.
Being murdered in personal disputes etc doesn't count just for the sake of the topic. |
If Barrett was so fried why is his solo work so Brilliant?
Floyd is great band but God we’re they a bunch of dicks. They pull a runner on Syd and then always claim it was some bull**** acid overdose. They were right in the heart of LSD culture and then use it as an excuse for ditching the dude that wrote their original hits. Then they treat Richard Wright like a hired hand. They were absolute pricks. |

I love Waters era Floyd. Maybe with AI they’ll be able to recreate what Floyd would’ve been if they didn’t break up the band. |

It's really good, lighting is amazing, great playing and they nail all of the parts. The girl that sung GGITS was spine tingling. But...... Waters gave Floyd an edge that was missing here. I have a copy of the famous 1977 Oakland show from the Animals tour and you can immediately hear the difference. Waters was the knife's edge to that band. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Xz5yF9Q3my...AnimalTray.jpg |
I have that bootleg, too.

Can only really pick two, the deaths of the two big hitters in 2016. Those are the only ones where 1) I was bothered and 2) I was alive at the time.
Lennon's death must have been unbelievable at the time. |
Quote:
So that was number one for me too. 2. Kurt Cobain's suicide (I don't think he was mentioned yet) 3. Bon Jovi (on a lighter note- he and Eddie Van Halen could have been brothers). 4. Van Halen's Jump (mainly because it inspired my stupid cousin to jump off peoples' cars at the time) 5. Sinead O' Connor's love affair (not!) with the Pope. |
I´m sure we all agree that the real worst moments are the deaths, illnesses and addictions that musicians have sustained, and that a sudden death at a young age is far worse than an old guy's death that is seen coming by doctors. With that in mind, my list might be:-
1. The plane crash that killed Buddy Holly and others, which Janszoon recently posted about in this thread: http://www.musicbanter.com/lounge/90...ng-places.html 2. John Lennon's death, which shocked a rather innocent, post-war generation and taught them that even mega-talent and stardom does not make you invulnerable to a bullet 3. Poor Amy Whitehouse, who has a thread dedicated to her somewhere 4. I'm putting Keith Moon and Brian Jones together, because their deaths were only ten months apart, and I want some space for... 5. Jeff Buckley, whose death occured under particulary poignant circumstances:- Quote:
Nick Drake whose sleeping pill overdose may well have been accidental, having forgotten if or how many pills he'd already taken. Duanne Allman who had only just hit his true musical stride when he died. Of all the "what if..." losses to music, his is the one that I am most convinced would've been excellent. And lastly Robert Wyatt, who fell out of a hotel window while drunk and became paralysed from the waist down at the age of 28. __________________________________________________ _______ Quote:

I think Hendrix's death is worse than all of those except for Bonham because he had so much more to offer that could have changed everything we know about rock.

Actually Brian Jones died in 1969 and Keith Moon in 1978. Both sad events to be sure though. Jones did die the year before Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin (two weeks apart I think) and two years before Jim Morrison. All four I think are in the infamous '27' club that also includes Cobain and Amy Winehouse. I don't think anyone's mentioned Elvis Presley yet either. That was also a big deal and they were doing news reports out of Graceland for days. Yeah, there were a lot of rock n roll moments that sucked. |
^ oops! I was a little too hasty with my fact-checking on wiki. Thanks!
Hendrix, Joplin, Cobain, Presley..... yes, there is a long, long list of casualties. :( |
