Title: Name Your Favorite Dead Rock Star Post by: Oscar on June 22, 2010, 03:10:28 PM The Redneck Rockers thread made me remember doing a poll on a whiteboard at work years ago. I was amazed at how fast the whole board filled up.
I'll start with a couple obvious ones 1. Elvis 2. Jimi Hendrix Title: Re: Name Your Favorite Dead Rock Star Post by: The Burgomaster on June 22, 2010, 04:12:12 PM Joey Ramone

Title: Re: Name Your Favorite Dead Rock Star Post by: Paquita on June 22, 2010, 09:51:58 PM Aw. Unfortunately, we can add Dio to this list now.

George Harrison Brad Delp Freddie Mercury Jim Croce Title: Re: Name Your Favorite Dead Rock Star Post by: The Burgomaster on June 23, 2010, 10:05:30 AM I wouldn't necessarily consider him a rock star either. Title: Re: Name Your Favorite Dead Rock Star Post by: claws on June 23, 2010, 10:46:09 AM He made music and that's all that matters to me.
Title: Re: Name Your Favorite Dead Rock Star Post by: macabre on June 23, 2010, 12:31:12 PM hi
My all time fav: bon scott. Title: Re: Name Your Favorite Dead Rock Star Post by: El Misfit on June 23, 2010, 01:07:22 PM Bradly Nowell, the singer/ guitarist from Sublime
Title: Re: Name Your Favorite Dead Rock Star Post by: Rev. Powell on June 23, 2010, 02:16:18 PM Nobody mentioned Frank Zappa yet?
Title: Re: Name Your Favorite Dead Rock Star Post by: Hammock Rider on June 23, 2010, 04:43:18 PM Stevie Ray Vaughn and most of the original Lynyrd Skynyrd
Here's a Dead Rock Stars related website: http://www.av1611.org/rockdead.html (http://www.av1611.org/rockdead.html) Title: Re: Name Your Favorite Dead Rock Star Post by: lester1/2jr on June 23, 2010, 04:45:25 PM Brian Jones definately. The Stones were so good with him and soon after he died they became terrible for many decades.
Title: Re: Name Your Favorite Dead Rock Star Post by: HappyGilmore on June 23, 2010, 10:30:30 PM George Harrison.
Also: Bo Diddley Joe Strummer Buddy Holly and, if he counts, which he should to a degree, although he wasn't "rock", Michael Jackson. Title: Re: Name Your Favorite Dead Rock Star Post by: Criswell on June 24, 2010, 12:34:25 AM No Jim Morrison yet?
Title: Re: Name Your Favorite Dead Rock Star Post by: Vik on June 24, 2010, 05:15:46 AM Hendrix

I mentioned him on the last page... :lookingup:Title: Re: Name Your Favorite Dead Rock Star Post by: Oscar on June 24, 2010, 05:54:21 PM I'll add John Entwistle, AKA "Thunderfingers"- Bassist for The Who and probably greatest bassist ever.
Another trivia question- Which three musicians were pictured on Fender's "Fiftieth Anniversary of the Stratocaster" catalogue? Large hint: only one is still alive. Title: Re: Name Your Favorite Dead Rock Star Post by: Oscar on June 27, 2010, 08:43:25 AM OK, nobody got the trivia question so I'll take care of ya... The three rockers who made it onto the cover of the Fender Strat 50th anniversary catalog were: JImi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and Stevie Ray Vaughan. I thought somebody would've at least guess Eric Clapton since he's still alive- at least last time I checked. :tongueout:

If I had, I'd have thrown out Clapton. :bluesad: |
