Rockasteria: Syd Barrett and Pink Floyd - An Introduction to Syd .

Front Cover001 copy Rockasteria: Syd Barrett and Pink Floyd - An Introduction to Syd .
I am certain there are many of you who don`t know whoSyd Barrett was. Since his prime creative years are long past, you may not be mindful that for a short stop of time, he reigned as one of the great psychedelic songwriters of stone and roll antiquity. Whether it is best to cut out sooner than fade away is a thing of personal choice; but Syd didn`t really do either.

Your live shows with Stone Sour look like a very fun experience for both lot and audience, a short in line to the show of a Slipknot show: certainly enjoyable, but also extremely intense, cathartic. Would you say that it`s a somewhat different experience on stage with each band?Yeah we definitely get a slight bit more fun on stage. That`s not to say that we don`t with Slipknot, but with Slipknot it`s always hard to say what`s going on, as we`ve all got the masks (laughs).
