greatest musical premature deaths - Page 3

Good old Freddie, Kurt and definetly Jeff Buckley.

As for Jimi he died at the right time. He would of turned out like Eric Clapton and all those beens. Seriously he'd of released a load of shit albums and people would only remember his stuff from the 60's. Want more examples? James Brown, Jeff Beck and the rolling stones there is so many more examples.

disagree. jimi was considerably more experimental than those folks. jeff beck and clapton played pretty much a straight blues rock. i think jimi would've gotten into more jazz music as time progressed and kicked out some great collaberations. as was already said in the jimi hendrix's band of gypsies documentary it was said that lots of top jazz musicians including miles davis were searching him out to play with him on sessions.

Well it's all down to opinion but that's what I believe.

dietzer123 · 04.02.2006, 10:34 AM

well my unusually reasonable sonic friend, we'll just have to agree to disagree

Tim Buckley
Nick Drake
Ian Curtis
Jeff Buckley

jimi died right before he was going to make an album with miles davis. so i'd say that's premature.

Shannon Hoon...

No that would be the worst premature death...

There are so many dead rock stars that died prematurely. D Boon/Minutemen, Kurt Cobain/Nirvana, Jimi Hendrix/Experience, Billie Holiday, Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens (but not the Big Bopper, fuck him), Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Andy Wood/Mother Love Bone, Shannon Hoon/Blind Melon. Sigh, so many dead people that meant so much. Brings a tear to yr eye socket. If i still had tear ducts.

Ian Curtis.
I get the feeling that having him among us until these days, the whole indie (and partly also electronic) scene would look different.

For sure. I'd go with Ian Curtis as well. Joy Division would have went a long way. I disagree with Elliott Smith though, because I never really noticed a big change from when he started to what he sounded like at the end of his career. I love his music though, raw fucking emotion.

yeah, i didn't mention d cos someone already had, but i miss him. i was just rocking out to some minutemen yesterday, too.

big scissors- CUT!

thecockerontherock · 04.05.2006, 01:55 AM

Wow, everyone's stumped me...The people I'd mention already have...With a few exceptions...

Clifford Brown (The man who showed the world that you can play jazz and not be a flakey and cranky drug addict.)

Hank Williams,Sr. (For a man who's lack of educational skills made even endorsing his own royalty checks near impossible, he got as much mileage out of the English language as Ernest Hemmingway.)

Buddy Holly (His songs may seem pretty corn ball to some,but, he was starting to grow more as an artist as his career kept going post-Crickets...He very well could've ended up doing something similar to "Pet Sounds" if he'd lived...And Brian Wilson would've had more than Phil Spector to match his skills to.)

D. Boon (Absolutely tragic)

Frank Zappa (There's so much more he could've done)

Duke Ellington (He had an amazing 3+ decade run but he he never ran out of fresh ideas.)
