[Huck]

Gimme Shelter kicks ass.

[stuck_in_new_orleans]

Hit after hit from Ratt.

Uhhh...sure :)

[Senator Pardek]

FYI - he was related to Bing Crosby - hence the last name.

[Huck]

Being a heroin user makes you a total loser.

Well, when Stevie Ray Vaughn bit the big one I was bummed out plus a little astonished that he died due to helicopter failure, and not due to some evil combination of drugs and alcohol. Either way, he went out in a blaze of glory. Long live Stevie Ray Vaughn.... hey, it's floodin' down in Texas!

Staley was left undiscovered in his apartment for two weeks before anyone bothered to check on him. I feel sorry that he passed, but I despised his music no matter how harminic. The song "Man in a box" is reprehensible trash.

"Man In The Box"

I'm the man in the box
Buried in my sh!$
Won't you come and save me, save me

[CHORUS]

Feed my eyes, can you sew them shut?
Jesus Christ, deny your maker
He who tries, will be wasted
Feed my eyes now you've sewn them shut

I'm the dog who gets beat
Shove my nose in sh!$ Won't you come and save me, save me

Not to be mean, but you call that "incredible talent???" Pfffiff...What a bunch of losers.

I also was bummed out when SRV died. That man could play!

[Dan from Michigan]

I wished I had a chance to see SRV live. I think I was 12 when he died.

[Washington-Husky]

Yep! SRV will always be my "favorite" (?) tragic untimely rock-artist death. The rest of them I couldn't really give a rip about. And that's a cold shot, baby!

[Washington-Husky]

Dude! see my post #50, that sums it up for me...

[monkeyshine]

Maybe the Taliban infected the poppies with poison and sold the poppies to the KLA in Europe who then smuggled them to England where they were then imported to the USA to kill off rock stars?

Seriously, it is shocking to see all these needless deaths.

[jackliberty]

It looks like rock musicians should have their own wing in the Darwin Awards Hall of Fame.

[Huck]

Stevie was truly a fine guitar player and a rock and roll loss.

[AgentEcho]

Are you referring to Ricki Rachtman?

[Dakmar]

The sad fact is most people never get out from under heroin. It is easy to say life goes on till its your brother or a friend. Yeah life goes on.

Same opinion on 911?

A person could kill themselves by eating a can of Drano if they wanted to. If they are that GD stupid, I say let them do it. It's when they try to kill someone else by making them eat Drano that we should step in.

[Huck]

When I was a teen, Lynyrd Skynyrd was far and away my favorite band. Ronnie Van Zant was already gone by then. I wish he'd survived. He was a cool dude.

[pjb819]

Just because life goes on for others, doesn't make it any less sad for those who care about the deceased. No matter how they died.

[Big Bunyip]

"IF You Want Blood" -- the seedies' live album with Bon just before the bottle did him in. Just slipping into the cd drive now.

When my wife was pregnant with our son, we used to put he headphones on her belly and give junior a taste of Whole Lotta Rosie and Live Wire and Let There Be Rock. Really used to get the little guy kickin'!

And you know what he listens today at the advanced age of 15? Rap!!!!

His old man's worried. We brought him up straight and decent on Angus and Bon and Rudd, and now he fills the house with Eminem.

What's happening to the younger generation! Lord save us all from degenerate youth.

[hole_n_one]

You're a rude punk.
