FireOpal Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 And what about living rock stars who should be dead? I was quite surprised at the recent news that Steven Adler, the original drummer for Guns n Roses, was going to be doing a reality tv show - I thought he died *years* ago. There were rumors as far back as the early 90's that he was a desperate drug addict with AIDS. Glad to know he's up and about. I think he's just been arrested again though, like in the past week. Hey Danelectro, what've you got against Karen Carpenter?! That girl sang like an angel - the most haunting, sad voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danelectro59 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Hey Danelectro, what've you got against Karen Carpenter?! That girl sang like an angel - the most haunting, sad voice. I have nothing against her. It's just not my idea of a rocker. Beating out the likes of Keith Moon and George Harrison. C'mon! BTW, Steve Adler did suffer a stroke from his drug taking. Saw an interview and he looked awful. Sad, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danelectro59 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 And what about living rock stars who should be dead? Keith Richards surely. Brian Wilson too. Jimmy might be considered on that list. Speaking of B Wilson, I saw a program on Bio Channel today about him, and it was eerie how similar he looked like Bonzo when they were both extremely overweight and had full beards. That was his period when he stayed in bed for three years straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeppFanForever Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Nope. Died in 1996 I'm sure that God is definitely looking forward to hearing Tiny Tim sing, he sounds like he is singing under water. God will definitely freak out for sure. ROCK ON! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudbugclub Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 Just had a look at the results so far, John Lennon in third, Elvis Presley is second and John Bonham has the most votes at the moment. I would've thought John Lennon would win this no problem? Freddie Mercury is in forth place, Hendrix is in fifth and Kurt Cobain in sixth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliPeppers Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Jim Morrison. I love listening to his voice. Bonham, Hendrix, Keith Moon, and Kurt Cobain are also favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliPeppers Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 ALSO! John Lennon, Stevie Ray Vaughan(blues, blues-rock) George Harrison, and the old Syd Barrett. Before the sad drug induced story we all know. Its hard to believe Pink floyd was so great after losing him to his drug addicttion and what later became his content life with his family and himself.

zeptangerine Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 QUOTE (Black Dawg @ Jul 31 2008, 12:54 PM) keith Richards He's not dead yeah well that's debatable... it depends on the definition of "dead." Keith seems to have a category all his own, such as "semi-dead with embalmed-like skin." I remember seeing him on the cover of Rolling Stone about 20 years ago, and his skin color looked green due to herion abuse. Seriously- green. It wasn't long after that he had a complete blood transfusion in Switzerland. So technically I'd say Keith's been "semi-dead" since the '80s...
