What dead musician would you bring back?

[*~Alex~*]

Mozart, or any other amazing classical composer

 

[PoeticRocker]

Freddie for vocalist
Hendrix for guitarist

 

[xombine]

Just checking

Surely though taking a few handfulls of random, unkown pills would require more balls than just shooting yourself though? :E

I agree. Not knowing what you are going to experience, maybe extreme pain. Whatever may happen.

The shotty just splatters your brains. No side effects.

 

[kaf11]

Elliott Smith supposedly* stabbed himself twice in the chest.


*His death has not been officially declared a suicide and is still being investigated.

 

[TheGrimSweeper]

Randy Rhoads.

Amazing guitarist, died at a very young age (in his 20's i believe).

Played on Ozzy's Blizzard of Ozz album.

I'm going to say this and I don't really care what you all think, but Kurt Cobain is the most overrated musician in history and the only thing we got out of Nirvana worth caring about was Dave Grohl

 

[MilkMan12]

Stevie Ray Vaughan, Beethoven, and maybe Hendrix for the hell of it.

I pretty much want all classical composers of like whatever century it was (19th?) to see if our versions of what they wrote down sound as good...no joke.

They had a different notation, and we transcribed it with our best guesses, who knows they could sound so different from what we think they played.

The band brought a whole damn genre into the mainstream, and "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is considered one of the greatest songs of all time (up there in the top 10 in many lists). He may be overrated (exactly how I have no idea), but Nirvana certainly is not.

 

[Direwolf]

I give Nirvana credit for their role in the history of music, but I have to also admit some bafflement over their critical fame. Might be because its outside my time, but if I hear someone bitching about Courtney Love one more time I'm gonna snap.

 

[jerkasaur]

*Me bitches about Courtney Love and Runs*

 

[The Monkey]

John Lennon and George Harrison.

 

[Direwolf]

*Me bitches about Courtney Love and Runs*

*Direwolf snaps and then goes back to work*

 

[StardogChampion]

Andrew Wood. He was going to be the next big rock star, but then he OD'd. If he hadn't died there would be no Pearl Jam.

He's in my really small avatar at the front holding an apple.

 

[Polaris]

Freddie Mercury, of course or George Harrison...
I don't mentoin Elvis because he is alive

 

[French Ninja]

Miles Davis and Barry White.

 

[el Chi]

ps; hendrix killed himself too sabre001, he just used pills instead of a shotgun (took a massive overdose and choked on vomit in his sleep)

Well, it was an accident really - he didn't mean to top himself when he took so many, he just f*cked up. And WHAT a f*ck up!
/Pedantic tosser mode ends.

 

[Ennui]

jimi hendrix.
or shannon hoon.

 

[Hazza]

Jeff Buckley

 

[Space Farm]

Jimi
Lennon
Randy Rhodes
Freddie Mercury

 

[bam23]

Well, the whole 'suicide' part is a bit controversial. I don't normally link to sites like this... but it presents a lot of interesting information:

Anomalies Unlimited - The Murder of Kurt Cobain

So, I'd bring him back just to clear that up. Then, if it's false and he wants to do it again... fine.

Pretty interesting read. I've always ****ing hated that attention whore Courtney Love.

 

[gick]

Ian Curtis or Dime or Johnny Cash or Joe Strummer or Jimi Hendrix.

 

[Maxwinner]

Jimmie Hendrix, Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley and Elmer Bernstein

 

[Llama]

Elvis

6 pimpin' char, yo

 

[JNightshade]

BACH.

Nah, just kidding. Hendrix ftmfw.
