And it was Gilmour, who wasn’t even in the band at the time, who wound up making sure that Syd Barrett was well taken care of.
Well I’m not trying to defend him. He was obviously the jerk of the group, and no doubt that led to the split, and since then he has become even more of a jerk at an exponential rate.
I would not go see one of his concerts, but I would definitely love to see Gilmour. However, he does sing well, he does scream well, and his voice was very suitable for certain songs, two of my favorites being Mother and Hey You.
I don’t really know what to see about the man. He seems pointlessly angry like many leftists. In fact he seems consumed by anger. Sad. I have enjoyed some of his work greatly despite that.
That’s nice to hear. Personally I find the music to be insufferable past the Syd days.
