Where did you hear this? As far as I've heard, when Syd wasn't feeling quite sane, he would just become incoherent or semi-catatonic. Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky. On the other hand, when Waters wasn't feeling so good, he'd go around doing things like spitting on people's faces and driving through police baricades. Run to the bedroom. In the suitacse on the left, you'll find my favorite axe. Don't look so frightened, this is just a passing phase, one of my bad days. Besides, Alan Parker said that Waters insisted that the movie be about his own life, while Parker wanted to do something different. Parker also said that Waters is the biggest asshole he's ever met and totally insane and should be locked away. He's still a complete musical and poetic genius, though.
