Little known fact the dude on the cover of that pink floyd album burned to death. nobody tried to help him they just stood around laughing and when it was over they wrote an album about it titled “wish you were here” because the guy who burned to death actually was really nice and they missed him

He did not die. He is running because the wind blew the wrong way and the fire burned his mustache off. The guy on fire is  Ronnie Rondell, he is a stuntman.

This is flagrant misinformation. He was a close friend of the band, nobody knows his real name however. If he was a REAL stuntman, his union required stuntman protection hex would have functioned, and he would have been teleported to the nearest hospital. This man was no stuntman. He was merely a kind, gentle soul who burned to death for the amusement of the band Pink Floyd.

mayan-warrior holy shit how can you let them be your favorite band when they’re such terrible people.

If anyone can give a link to a credible source that says think man died while taking this photo I’ll believe it. But so far i’ve found nothing claiming that this man died. I did see an article that said the wind was blowing the wrong way and the man’s mustache burned off but they switched the two men so that the fire wouldn’t burn him again.

Listen here fucko’, I don’t care what you think, the truth of the matter is Pink Floyd let this man DIE and made an album about it. It happened, it’s done, it’s in the past. Pink Floyd will never be held accountable for their crimes. Thats just the way the world works.

ACTUALLY THEY DIDNT. The stuntman on for is Ronnie Rondell. The album was released in 1975 and this man went on to act in two movies well after the release of this album. There is no way in hell that he burned to death because of pink floyd.

Look at these idiots, SHEESH! If you WATCH the Behind The Music documentary, you can SEE THE FUNERAL. He BURNED TO DEATH.

Being complacent with the crimes Pink Floyd, as a group, have committed, is just as bad as condoning them. Don’t turn a blind eye to this! David Gilmour PERSONALLY threw the match at the gasoline soaked unknown man. He must be held accountable!
