Best rock band of dead people ever:

Keyboard: Ludwig van Beethoven (they can tell him they're kicking Mozart's ass and he'll join)
Backing Vocals, Rap Master: Jam Master Jay

[lazarus]

Louis Armstrong played trumpet, jazz n00b.

Bird or Coltrane, perhaps, on sax?

He's had time to master the sax, piano, and violin while in Music Heaven.

But yeah, Coltrane ftw.

In addition to those already stated...

Bonham, George Harrison, Janis Joplin, Elvis...

Lennon would still be my number 1.

 

[LMP]

Biggie

 

[one4u2]

Freddie Mercury, Michael Hutchence

 

[cdisantis83]

Louis Armstrong played trumpet, jazz n00b.

Bird or Coltrane, perhaps, on sax?

Definitely Coltrane.
I ought to add Thelonious Monk to the general list as well.

 

[Bonochick]

Elliott Smith

 

[dr. zooeuss]

 

[Bonochick]

Seriously?

 

[lazarus]

How could you not have heard of Smith's suicide (murder?)? Double knife stabs to the heart? It was the most EMO thing ever.

 

[dr. zooeuss]

ha yep, i'm an indie rock idiot, apparently. have never gotten into his stuff, though i hear people raving over him all the time.

wanted to delete that before anyone read it, but i'll own up to my ignorance. sad stuff. (his death, that is)













and my ignorance.

 

[DaveC]

Tupac.

 

[Butterscotch]

Can't believe no one's mentioned Cobain or Morrison.

 

[Butterscotch]

Lisa "Left Eye"
Aliyah
Buddy Holly
George Harrison
Dime Bag Daryl
Sid Vicious
Brian Jones
That guy from Alice in Chains, what's his name?

 

[dr. zooeuss]

Can't believe no one's mentioned Cobain or Morrison.

the thread's still young... (congrats to you)

 

[LMP]

Kurt Cobain... ugh. The epitome of posthumous "rock" legend.

 

[cdisantis83]

That guy from Alice in Chains, what's his name?

That would be Layne Staley. And nice call on Brian Jones.

 

[Bonochick]

Umm...no idea why this thread has been closed for the past 10 minutes, but apparently, I did it.

Shut up.

 

[lazarus]

Keith Richards FTW?

 

[Dalton]

How could you not have heard of Smith's suicide (murder?)? Double knife stabs to the heart? It was the most EMO thing ever.

At least 15-16 twelve year old boys were seen walking around with their mascara streaking down their face.

 

[dr. zooeuss]

Keith Richards FTW?

ok, i can express surprise at this one?

 

[Dalton]

Umm...no idea why this thread has been closed for the past 10 minutes, but apparently, I did it.

Shut up.

Hoooray for alcohol1

 

[Dalton]

Tupac.

He's still alive, bitch. His bodygaurd was undercover FBI. That proves something.

 

[LMP]

ok, i can express surprise at this one?

It's a joke.

Or maybe not, perhaps Keef is one of the undead?

 

[dr. zooeuss]

At least 15-16 twelve year old boys were seen walking around with their mascara streaking down their face.

heh, and surprisingly i still missed it..

 

[dr. zooeuss]

yeh, it can't decide if it's a joke masquerading as irony, or irony masquerading as a joke..
