Jim Croce
Bob Marley or Jeff Buckley. Imagine the chaos if they dropped a new album! :jointsmile:
SRV The blues god.
Keith Richards.............
Snakefinger, who provided the guitarwork on this tune by the Residents.
Just listen to the tone he could get.
Brian Adams :D
I know he aint dead but if he was I'd bring him back just to shoot him myself .:wtf:
I've never forgiven him for clogging up the airwaves with that pile of pap (Everything I Do) that everyone seems to have bought but nobody will admit to.
Seriously though I would probably go with Robert Johnson or Eddie Cochran.
Jerry Garcia.
Jim Morrison !! :jointsmile:
Your concept of 'rock star' somehow does not surprise me...Quote:

brad nowell for sure, but id love to bring jimi back too
Harry Chapin
Lennon
Janis Joplin
Elvis
hendrix is my fav of the deads, but i'd bring none of em back. i'm not a religious man but i do believe death happens for a reason we can't understand and never will. hendrix is the innovator the king of electric guitar, king of blues rock king of psychadelic music king of improv jamming. he had the riff the solo. he is why women want to fuck rockstars. he is the most important electric guitar player ever, other than the guy who invented he might be the most important guitar player ever. and the best part is his skill matches his influence, unlike a lot of people who were hugely influential but not much skill.
George Harrison
such young lives cut short too soon! dammi! theres gotta b a reward
somewhere out there in the land of milk and hunny
The 'promise' of a hapier, calmer, carefree, loving, life is rainbows after the rain storm
the promise
I hate death but I dont fear my own, if need b I'll drink the purple koolaid
party over outta time
we loose peeps we love and need through life for all the tears shed
I should be able to call my Grandmother on the land line Id love to see my 'grama' again happy
I miss my grandmother sorely (
Steve Marriott (The Small Faces, Humble Pie)
Marc Bolin (T. Rex)
Duane Allman (The Allman Brothers Band)
Lowell George (Little Feat)
Frank Zappa (Mothers Of Invention)
Keith Relf (The Yardbirds)
Randy California (Spirit)
Syd Barrett (Pink Floyd)
Ben Orr (The Cars)
John Lennon for sure.
hands down JIM MORRISON!
Jerry Garcia.
not really a 'rock star', but ide say J-Dilla.
I wouldn't bring back some dumbass who killed themself from drug od (so no Hendrix, Bonham (alcohol IS a drug), Morrison, Joplin, etc.) But I'd say I'd bring back SRV!
Well to be fair Jimi was murdered, but that's for another time...Quote:

Jimi Hendrix died by suffocating in his own vomit while unconscious after taking barbiturates. The death was ruled accidental.
Jim Morrisons death was determined at the scene to be heart failure. No autopsy nor toxicological examinations were ever performed on the body, so theres no hard evidence to establish that drug use was the cause of his death.
There's a couple books you need to read. I can't for the life of me remember the name of the book, but it was an incredible story on Jimi Hendrix and how this whole big set up resulted in his murder.Quote:

Read "The Lizard King" it tells a pretty good story of the real Jim. :jointsmile:
Dudes,
As much as I hate country music, (Iā??m a rock n roller all the way, and Rockabilly is not rock n roll). I was related to Johnny Cash, so I feel obligated.
Bud :stoned::stoned::stoned::stoned:
Brian Jones-Lead guitarist,the guy who formed the Rolling Stones,(check him out on youtube-Rollingstones"Dead Flowers live 72")
Allen Collins,Ronnie VanZant,Steve Gaines-Lynyrd Skynyrd
Jerry Garcia,Ron "Pig Pen" Mckernin-Grateful Dead
Jonathan Melvoin-Smashing Pumkins
Sid Vicious-Sex Pistols
Janis Joplin
She might not belong here but I say she can stay,god only knows how far she would have gone-"Selena"
And last but not least,the guy who still gets voted as one of the best guitar players ever years after his death, Randy Rhoades-Quiet Riot,Ozzy
:420thought:
Madonna!
Oh....she just LOOKS dead...my bad
I feel the biggest lose to the music world was Jimi Hendrix. If he was still around the music world would be a different place. He probably would have influenced the African American sector more and we would have never had this gangster rap and go go music that is somehow considered music.
I'll be the first to say good old Ludwig Van.
How could you guys forget Randy Rhoads!!! But id pick Jim Morrison over him tho, an ancient lunatic reigns in the trees of the night!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA.
DimeBag:thumbsup: He didn't deserve what he got.:(
A dead tie between Jim Morrison and Warren Zevon. Bring back the intelligent musicians!
