The wall was actually a manifestation of Pink Floyd were experiencing between them and their fans. When fans started coming to live gigs only to smoke dope and drink, without understanding the music that was being performed. There was a specific event when Roger waters actually spit a fan in the face. That's what inspired The Wall. This wall that was building up between them and their fans.

Is the wall based on Syd Barrett's life story?

the main character was based on Syd, yes. but other parts are about roger waters losing his father in WWII, and about people who isolate themselves from society (although i suppose that applies to syd as well). *Different Poster* Actually, Roger Waters wrote the album about his own life growing up. How his father died when he was young, and his mother was over-bearing, and his teachers hated him, and eventually he felt like he has lost touch with everyone (including his fans), and thus built a giant wall between him and everyone else. But, there were references to Syd Barrett in it. Such as when he shaves his whole body. Barrett did that after having a mental breakdown. So, short answer: No, not really.
