Peter Green was not as crazy as Syd Barret. Green went nuts, but for the past twenty-thirty years had been sufficiently functional to play guitar with other people, and do interviews. On the Crazy scale I’d have put him about halfway between Barret and Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys, who is today reasonably sane and reasonably functional.
Yeah, mainly because his girlfriend got documents against Brian's psychiatrist that he was being given wrong drugs and being handled to the benefit of the doctor. Once properly diagnosed and with the correct drugs, he returned to pretty much normal. People call him a genious song writer, but other than a couple songs on Pet Sounds, I don't see it. I think his genius was his arrangements with the harmonies of the other Beach Boys. I've seen them live many times, and the harmonies are mesmerizing.
