He looks a bit like ILX's own Martin Skidmore.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 16:33 (twenty-one years ago)

hey, he's got a bike! It's got a basket, but no bell that rings! No doubt there's a mouse called gerald in that basket.

there most certainly is a bell that rings, and things to make it look good

I hope that when Syd passes on, he does so very comfortably and quietly surrounded by family and friends, and that there are no cameras.

A 55 year old man who isn't hip to wrinkle-free garments?!

I was wondering about that headline myself.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 16:48 (twenty-one years ago)

lookin good in the neighbourhood

― sexyDancer, Wednesday, 9 June 2004 16:49 (twenty-one years ago)

This is absolutely inexcusable!! He hasn't made a record in 30 years! Can't they just leave him alone???

― Unknown User, Wednesday, 9 June 2004 16:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, he looks like a normal guy. Dresses pretty well too.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 16:50 (twenty-one years ago)

except for those socks, god what was he thinking... gross.

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 16:53 (twenty-one years ago)

OMG WTF BRITISH PEOPLE IN HOT WEATHER WEARING SHORTS OMG HE MUST BE OFF HIS ROCKER!!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 16:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Those socks are grebt..

What do you think Syd has been doing for money for the last 30 years? Does he get substantial royalties from record sales? I wouldn't think so, unless the rest of the band cut him in somehow on the later records...

― dave225 (Dave225), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 16:55 (twenty-one years ago)

The records do still sell steadily, though, and there have been various further compilations and boxes and things (and remember that he would have gotten money on the songs included in the PF box as well). By all accounts he keeps thoroughly to himself aside from family, and between their support and care and what money comes along, his needs are probably well met.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 16:57 (twenty-one years ago)

Even through the 70's, do you think? Lately, maybe his fortuines have reversed.. But has he always done OK?

― dave225 (Dave225), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 16:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Looking at him, he sorta reminds me of Bruce Willis. Perhaps Mr. Willis might entertain the idea of making a biopic about the life of Syd Barrett. Anyone got any suggestions for the title?

― King Kobra (King Kobra), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 17:01 (twenty-one years ago)

thomas pynchon, jd salinger, and syd barrett walk into a bar...

is being bald and white the only pre-requisite for being compared to bruce willis?

― cutty (mcutt), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 17:04 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah, what the fuck is up with that company? i turned on my computer this morning and there were 5 new shortcuts on my desktop that weren't there when i turned my computer off last night. one for Kill XP popup's and the others for similar products seemingly from the same company.

― Felonious Drunk (Felcher), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 17:06 (twenty-one years ago)

You're right. Maybe it should go to Dr. Phil.

― King Kobra (King Kobra), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 17:10 (twenty-one years ago)

White, bald, and those "laughlines"(?) that go from the nose to the side of the mouth. Otherwise, Peter Garrett would somehow be involved in this thread.

― Pleasant Plains (Pleasant Plains), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 17:10 (twenty-one years ago)

i think he looks more like doug mccombs

What Ned said upthread.

One of the few (if not the only) things that Waters, Gilmour, etc. agree on these days is to ensure that Syd's royalties still come through. Back on the 1994 tour, PF made sure that "Astronomy Domine" was on one of the live releases specifically to bolster Syd's income.

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 17:52 (twenty-one years ago)

I think Gilmour still feels a bit guilty about taking Syd's place in PF.

― King Kobra (King Kobra), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 17:54 (twenty-one years ago)

the space between bruce willis's nose and mouth is really really huge.

― AaronK (AaronK), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 17:55 (twenty-one years ago)

chiklis!

― kyle (akmonday), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 17:57 (twenty-one years ago)

chiklis's head is far too round

― cutty (mcutt), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 17:59 (twenty-one years ago)

not after we shape it with a vice

― kyle (akmonday), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 18:02 (twenty-one years ago)

I wonder what he thinks about. He's still far from normal.

― David Allen (David Allen), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 18:19 (twenty-one years ago)

I read that he finished writing a book called "the history of art" but he's not trying to get it published.

― Naive Teen Idol (Naive Teen Idol), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 20:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Is that what Doug McCombs looks like? I really shouldn't find out if we're related.

― Joseph McCombs, Wednesday, 9 June 2004 20:05 (twenty-one years ago)

"to become immortal, and the to die"

huh?

― King Kobra (King Kobra), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 20:05 (twenty-one years ago)

the most worrything thing about those recent photos of syd is that he's carrying around a copy of the Daily Mail

that looks JUST LIKE BRUCE WILLIS

― cutty (mcutt), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 22:24 (twenty-one years ago)

the most worrying thing about recent photos of Syd Barrett is that they're not worrying or surprising at all - it's odd, not to say a bit disturbing, to pretend that it's somehow surprising that a guy who voluntarily left rock and roll thirty-something years ago looks like a guy who's had fuck-all to do with rock and roll and has aged, as will we all

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Thursday, 10 June 2004 01:12 (twenty-one years ago)

John very OTM. God knows what I'll look like three decades down the line, be willing to bet it won't be the prettiest picture, but hell, I know I'll end up there.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 10 June 2004 02:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Not me. I'll kill myself like a real rock star.

― King Kobra (King Kobra), Thursday, 10 June 2004 02:55 (twenty-one years ago)

the way people talk about Syd you'd think he'd be walking around at 400lbs in a muumuu with tinfoil on his head, so I'd say he looks good.

― AaronHz (AaronHz), Thursday, 10 June 2004 03:11 (twenty-one years ago)

He looks very good in the most recent pics. His clothes are actually clean, and he has a nice shiny pate. Well done sir. You deserve your retirement.
I admit I'm still curious to see these pictures every few years though. If he looks happy, it makes me feel good. And he does there.

― de, Thursday, 10 June 2004 03:24 (twenty-one years ago)

one year passes...

Tis a shame Syd has no grandchildren, it may have eased loneliness and brought sparkle to his eyes byebye just me making a statement

― Chris Clune, Thursday, 25 May 2006 04:55 (nineteen years ago)

He looked great in 2001. Aging very well. Guy might outlive the rest of the band.

― sweet two, Thursday, 25 May 2006 10:32 (nineteen years ago)

I don't know if it's him, to be honest. That blog says it is, but how do they know?

― StanM (StanM), Thursday, 25 May 2006 10:33 (nineteen years ago)

its the old guy, the leader of the gang in "Reservoir dogs"

― sweet two, Thursday, 25 May 2006 10:36 (nineteen years ago)

Probably not him, if this is 2005:
