No one kicked Syd out of Pink Floyd, it was a collective decision. If you have read anything about the early Pink Floyd you will know that David Gilmour was bought in to make Pink Floyd a 5 peice band, to play Syds' parts when Syd was unable. Unfortunatly this scenario did not work out. As they were on their way to a gig someone said "Shall we pick up Syd?" And someone else said "Let's not bother" None of the Pink Floyd members know who said what (Excepy maybe for Syd) So to pin Syds leaving on Roger is totally unfair. I also think that Syd left Pink Floyd way before he was ousted. But that is just my opinion.

You won't get far in life with that attitude, young lady.

Syd didn't 'go mad', but it was convenient for Waters to claim that he had.

Syd didn't leave the band. He was kicked out, by the megalomaniac/sociopath Waters.

Get your facts right, you bunch of amateurs.

Try explaining that to his family
