He almost killed Pink Floyd. I mean, there's a point where an artist does too much drugs and loses it. Syd Barret went way over that point. In the end, ditching him was the best that ever happened to the Floyd. Not like he doesn't have his strong points, but hey, F him. Never was much of a Barret fan. He almost killed Pink Floyd.

But, for the sake of argument, let's say that I do enjoy the Dead for "abstract" reasons. I mean, Dark Star is flawed, out of tune, and definetely not flashy. But it has soul, man (as in feeling), and you know what: it is fun because it is not pretentious jamming. Flip the coin and on the other side is Phish. Now, that's a waste of talent. Great musicians jerking off, where's the fun in that? Glad to hear you're a Roger Waters fan though, I thought you'd be on the Gilmour side. No pun intended.

As for the Dead, excuse me if I'm not a big fan of 25 minutes of flanged guitar and crappy soloing.

Still got it, for two reasons: a) tapes last longer than CD's. b) never got much playing time on my stereo. Not much of a fan. Now, about Greatful Dead: watch it, punk.

Btw, I fart on the very thought of the Dead. Its like an impulse reaction. I hate them. F it.

No, that’s Roger Waters’, from the homonymous album. Eric Clapton with the Dead? I didn’t know there was such a thing, but then again, I profoundly dislike the Dead, so I might be talking out of my ass. Again.

Didn’t move alone, so you’ll have to wait a bit longer to move in with me…
