Dead Rock Stars
« on: February 10, 2016, 08:37:17 PM »
Apologies for the morbid title - who do you miss the most out of those who are no longer with us?

Two immediately come to mind:

Rory Gallagher
Warren Zevon

This should have gone in the Literature, Music, Art & Entertainment!

Blimey ... almost too many to name here, sadly :(

Hendrix. Bowie. Lemmy. Jack Bruce. Nick Drake (OK, not really a rock star per se ...). Sandy Denny (ditto).

(I'm sure Gordon will move it!).

In agreement with that one.

No More Sad Refrains is one of the few albums that I own as a CD.

Paul Kossoff. I am not going to claim that he is underrated, the problem is that he has been gone so long he gets forgotten.

Certainly not underrated amongst guitarists, that's for sure.

Loved his playing with Free.  Especially on their second album.

I did see Back Street Crawler at Glasgow Apollo.  Sadly, it wasn't a great concert.

I love Free - I also have a Paul Kossoff live album - it is really ropey, so I can quite believe that the concert you went to wasn't great :(

Maybe not rock stars in the strictest sense but I still mourn the passing of Freddie Mercury and always watch old Queen concerts when they are shown on BBC4 - I went to one at Wembley back in the day.  As I am in my sixties, naturally enough I grieved something terrible for John Lennon (I saw the Beatles as a teenager).

Syd Barrett  :'( - "Wish you were here" Syd but you are undoubtedly enjoying "The Great Gig...'').

I like all the people mentioned here.   

Funnily enough I wasn't a Bowie fan in the 1970s but grew to appreciate him later on - a Bromley/Beckenham man, yay!

Only saw Queen once when they were supporting Mott The Hoople.

I'd seen them on the OGWT so I had a pretty good idea of what to expect.

It's the music they never wrote or performed which is amiss.
Though  I have been lucky to know and meet some of the musicians of my youth and later years.
I have not known any of them long enough to miss them personally. Not the ones already gone.
But as their music remains I am not sure what exactly there is to miss, except the music,songs, they never got to write and
perform. We cannot even know what that would have been.

So I am afraid I cannot see that we can miss them as their music never dies..
