Add Your New Review About The Song The Reviews about Arnold Layne (page 1/1) ------ performed by Pink Floyd reply to "drugs affected barrett?" | Reviewer: durka | 11/19/09 dude you dont understand, it wasnt just one dose that got him it wasnt two..it was the insane amount that he took, he reportedly dosed everysingle day. the amount that he took basiclly ate his brain. Gilmour was an old friend of Barretts, and when Barrett asked him to join in the Floyd, Gilmour accepted, but was dumbstruck at how much he had seen barrett change. bless you syd and polly rick roger david to | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/13/09 i honestly love pinkfloyds legacy likea humasn and dont mess with syd his ailments wer personal and the stupid media is drivin every one crazy anyway think of syd as a human not a news story you morons(media) drugs affected barret? | Reviewer: joisy | 11/28/08 i dont think drugs have influenced on barrets mental illness cause ive been on lsd very often and im still sane dude so fuck that shit, may be he should have take only what he need from it but i still dont think that was why syd barret break down and that drugs helped him to compose those beatuifull lyrics and music man soo shroom it baby and play it! Absolutly love this song and anything by Syd | Reviewer: Richard Ellicott | 9/28/08 I just had to write a response to the "it was all because of the drugs" comment. Gilmour disagrees with you: In my opinion, [his breakdown] would have happened anyway. It was a deep- rooted thing. But I'll say the psychedelic experience might well have acted as a catalyst. Still, I just don't think he could deal with the vision of success and all the things that went with it. Syd is one of my all time greatest heroes, it is wrong to think his downfall was just because of a typical self inflicted rock and roll binge. Rest in Peace Syd. Love it | Reviewer: Pink Floyd fan | 5/27/08 i love Syd's work. i think Pink Floyd would've gone very very far if he wasn't so hopped up on LSD and 'shrooms. seriously. he was so talented, but it all went downhill b/c of drugs. we miss you, Mr. Syd Barrett. Kickass | Reviewer: Tripper | 8/2/07 The song's one of the best psychadellic songs i've ever heard.. Syd's a genius !!! Hats off.. Great song | Reviewer: Alan | 6/28/07 Arnold Layne was a great song, and it is no surprise it hit the top 20 when it was released. I would like to note, however, that there were more singles than this, "See Emily Play," and "Another Brick in the Wall Part II." There was "Apples and Oranges" by Syd Barrett, which they tried to push as a single, but failed to crack the charts. After that, was Rick Wright's "It Would Be So Nice," which even the band thought was horrible. Their last attempt at the singles market, before deciding to forget singles and be albums only, was "Point Me At The Sky" by Roger Waters. Also, while they did not release another single in the UK until "Another Brick in the Wall Part II," they did release "Money" as a single in the USA. There are a few others too, which I don't think were officially released as singles, but got radio play anyways, such as "Time" from Dark Side, "Wish You Were Here," from the album of the same name, along with two others from that album, "Have a Cigar" and "Welcome to the Machine." And from The Wall, you often hear "Comfortably Numb" on the radio, as well as "Mother," "Hey You," "Run Like Hell," and even "The Happiest Days Of Our Lives" which often gets played together with "Another Brick in the Wall Part II." Certainly not a singles-driven band, but they did have their share of them. Abouts | Reviewer: Sneewillows | 6/14/07 This song is about a cross dresser in London. Syd, we barely knew ye. Genius | Reviewer: Ginger | 3/6/07 Syd Barrett was truely ahead of his time...a geinus [pink floyd] A sign of things to come | Reviewer: richard | 4/18/05 This song recorded/released in the sixties was truly a sign of the brilliance to come from Pink Floyd. Their first single release of which there were very few. They rarely released singles, this along with See Emily Play and Another Brick in the Wall was about it.Needless to say all their albums were and still are rated amongst the best ever recorded.
