No. Syd Barrett unfortunately wen't crazy because of the large amounts of drugs he was taking in the late 60's. The band had to let him go due to his lack of songwriting at the time and his extremely unusual behaviors. (He is reported to have stared at a box of corn flakes for three hours straight without saying a word.)
Before his problems though, he was a very happy person that everyone loved and admired.

Why are Gilmore and Waters of Pink Floyd not friendly to each other?
Roger Waters is a control freak Thats an over simplification. Waters and Gilmour don't get along mainly due to creative differences. By the time of the break up we did see Waters take more control of the song writing in the band. Sadly, these two do not realize that where one lacks in song writing ability, the other makes up for the void. They compliment each other so well.

What kind of amp and effects did Pink Floyd use?
Early on David Gilmour used a fender twin reverb and some kind of old tape echo, now i believe he uses Hi Watt amps that were made back in the 70s , he uses lots of effects but his primary sound comes from a Big Muff , a Chandler Tube driver and a boss delay, he also uses chorous at times which is also boss, im pretty sure he also uses a compresser some .. His Statocaster had had the whammy chopped back and the pickups replaced ..

Its a bit on the high side, as measured between L1 and L2, but not a problem. Better for appliances than a low voltage. Lights will tend to be a just bit brighter and use a bit above rated power. Certainly a big problem if measured between either live conductors and the neutral.
Pink Floyd is classic rock true false?
None. Pink Floyd have covered many styles in their lenghty career. The Syd Barret era was mostly psychedelic, with some space rock. Then, the Waters era was more progressive (but not really prog rock) and a lot of classic tunes (Money, Another Brick in the Wall, etc) are considered as classic rock. In the end Pink Floyd IS Pink Floyd, labeling them in a definitive style is impossible. They are an unique blend of styles, with certain unique characteristics.
no, Bon Jovi isn't even talented enough to play with Floyd much less be in them
