ZeppFanForever Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 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... It must have been from snorting to much of his dad's cremation ashes as well as many others. IT MUST BE SOME GREAT SHIT IF KEITH SNORTS IT! ROCK ON!

Never happened. ....and the incident that inspired the never-ending urban legend about the blood-change happened in 1973 or so. Keith's alleged "blood change" ....and he's been clean (of heroin) since before '88,so "about 20 yrs. ago" must mean about 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

040879 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Jeff Buckley. Only one mention here for him so far,I think[by Tangerine] John Bonham goes without saying here so Jeff it is for me.He died young,by accident,and had only just started what may have been an astonishing career.Just sad.

ZeppFanForever Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I just wanted to tell you guys that John Bonham is currently winning in this poll! If you could bring a dead rock star back to life for one gig, who would it be? John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix, Elvis, Kurt Cobain, Buddy Holly, Freddie Mercury? Or someone else? This Day in Music are carrying out a world-wide survey to see which dead rock stars people would want to see again - for one night only! Who would you pick? You can see a full list and vote on http://www.thisdayinmusic.com F*c* it, BRING THEM ALL BACK in case we left some out! ROCK ON! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeptangerine Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I'd like to see that......thanks,fellow Marylander. I'd like to see it too, Hon! I've read tons of Stones info over the years, but swear I read in Bill's Stone Alone that he went to Switzerland in the 80s and spent time with Keith while he had a blood transfusion. I read that Snopes site, and it infers that Keith did get a blood treatment- in the 70s- more like an "oil change" but not a total transfusion. I do believe he underwent the "blood filtering" bit. Nevertheless, in my "research" I did come across some Zeppelin(Page)/Stones connections which I thought were interesting. I'll post those somewhere else.

Nevertheless, in my "research" I did come across some Zeppelin(Page)/Stones connections which I thought were interesting. I'll post those somewhere else. From what I've read;Keith got the first blood treatment (filtering)in the early 70s,sometime in 1973,IIRC,and joked that he had a "blood change".Couple that with the fact the the proceedure itself is somewhat confusing to read,and you have the birth of an urban legend which will not die.As far as I know;a complete blood transfusion isn't possible,but the treatment is.It's all in the wording.

Johnnie Gestappo Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Elvis - The Original ROCK star! Thank you very much. You have good taste! Could you imagine a "cleaned-up" Elvis Re-taking control of the Rock world? He did great in his time period, kept "coming-back", but w/ the right managment and the Betty Ford Clinic he could have accomplished way more than he did. Even though he accomplished way more than almost everybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnie Gestappo Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Great Opinions, I'm going to stick w/the ones who I think had a lot more to say. Jimi Hendrix! He accomplished a lot, but imagine a few more years. John Lennon, overcame the political B.S. and finally came out w/ a fresh great album, and got assasinated? Had he been able to keep going he would have been a huge part of musical history in the 80's. And the Beatles would have reformed, even if only to rake in cash, and again break all existing records. And Kurt Cobain. He probably had a couple more albums in him. At least he pulled the plug on the 80's. Isn't that amazing? All these overproduced jerk-off's just lost their jobs with the release of one song and video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
