Will be adding a few more (Jimi, Elvis, etc.). If you want to see a musician added (has to be rather influential and part of music history) just leave a comment. I have a good memory for dead musicians, but not that great!

the obvious: Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper, Richie Valens

-1

Mozart but no Chopin?

+1

Before I even clicked, I said to myself "this is getting a 1 if theres no Zappa". Good work! Also, don't add anymore, everyone who is asking you to is a f*ggot.

2nd

-1

WOOT WOOT

-1

syd barrett plz

-1

good stuff..

-1

wahhh WAH wah wahh-ah-wahhhh, but seriously *sniff* cliff

-1

can you slow it down a bit? they go by pretty quick...

-1

Problem is going too fast or too slow, heh. You either go too slow and lose their attention or too fast and ruin the vibe. Will up the frames from 3 to 3.5-4.

+1

1'd for rock :P

-5

Pfft, then you should be happy about them being dead. Your logic is flawed!

+2

5'd for rock. and now i hate black people.

-1

lol it was a joke. I'm not a down voter

-1

:(

I laughed at the Rick Allen.

How about adding Lane Staley?

+1

I second Staley and Barrett. You should add Paul McCartney and put "John buried him". Stevie Ray Vaughn and Randy Rhodes as well. You should use "You can't kill rock and roll" by Ozzy as the song...although I'm a huge Zeppelin fan, so you get a 5 anyway.

+2

Agreed with BBQ; you can't have a dead rockstars tribute without Stevie and Randy.

-1

Btw, Randy rhoads died because he was in a plane being flown by a coked-up pilot buzzing ozzy's tour bus. There's a joke in there somewhere.

-1

Tangerine is such a good song too.

-1

Update#1: Added Janis Joplin, Elvis Presley, Jim Morrison, and Jimi Hendrix. Each frame now lasts 4 seconds up from 3.

-1

Next update will fix the errors caused by this update (my ImageReady is being very buggy, whenever I save some text disappears /sigh), and will add blues musicians interspersed (Elmore James, Lead Belly, John Lee Hooker, etc.). And I think I'll exchange Mozart for Beethoven (he is after all the roots of rock). Was only using Mozart as a "wtf?" moment anyways.

-1

5'd just for being TV'sFrank. Though, not to stir up trouble, I think the circumstances of Jimi's death were slightly different than those of Bonham's. Both died, technically, in their sleep, but I think Jimi overdosed while Bonham choked. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, the point being here is that you get a 5.

-1

Also, Syd Barrett, Roger Water's credibility and sense of shame, and Shannon Hoon. I'm not saying Shannon Hoon was influential, but he's one of the few rock stars the AdCouncil think people still remember and use for their anti-drug ads. Nobody remembers Shannon Hoon quite like the people who want to exploit death to save some kids. Am I right?

Problem is many of the deaths aren't cut and dry (one says overdose for Jimi, other says choking on vomit from too many sleeping pills). I try and use the supposed circumstance that makes it a bit funny, or gives meaning. In this case, making you remember how Bonham died to understand how Jimi did.

-1

Oh, and Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones, Brian Epstein (Beatle's manager), and for sh*t's n'giggles, Paul McCartney.

-3

I'd rather go with the 5th Beatle than a manager. More humorous and still a musician. And yes, forgot about Brain Jones. Next update be in a few hours, gonna relax, heh.

-1

and i guess in this sense, Harry Whittington > Kurt Cobain

Since he survived? Probably.

ooh, you got it! 5'd.

Rock FTL... 1'd

-3

Interesting, you downvoted everything on the up and coming except the Poland 6kit.... *cough*alt*cough*

^wrong

-1

Heat attack - not a ham sandwich...

-1

*Heart... not Heat

-1

I was just waiting for Brad Delp :(

-1

not a fan to old school sh*t, but this was entertaining

-1

interesting idea for the YTMND medium.

-1

Bradley Nowell needs to be in there.

-1

slow it down

Anyone going to Memphis in May? Allman bros gonna be there.. or whats left of them anyway. 5'd for not dissin' Freddie

-1

Kind of meh until James Brown, epic lulz

-1

I guess its good, but long live rock and talking about rock stars dieing in unusual ways is interesting =/

-1

Trying to walk the fine line between satisfying the fans and those that want a laugh. It's hard stuff! Heh.

-1

Quite a few "Borrowed" jokes.... Ham Sandwich? 5 shots? ect? Overall a decent site. Ramones would have been a welcome addition....

-1

More like references. And yea, Joey at the least is going in. Had to nix a few jokes for being a weeeee bit too tasteless (particularly that of Evans).

-1

VIVA LA RRRRAMONES!!!!

-1

5 for Rick Allen alone. But really, no Dimebag Darrell?

+2

sterling morrison! arthur lee!

-1

Yeah boyeeeee!

-1

f*ckin...awesome!!!

-1

Where's Tupac and Marvin Gaye?

-1

Also Bob Marley...

-1

Haha, Mama Cass

Did you know that John Denver defended the likes of Twisted Sister and other such band in court when Al Gore's retarded wife called them up on charges of "attempting to incite indecent thoughts and disturb the mind of our youth"? He was a huge advocate of free speech, especially in music. But at least you included him, and you may have your opinion, so take your 5.

+1

this is border line lame.

-1

I see Elvis.

-1

5'd, but -4 for the Shotgun > Face comment, among other snide remarks.

-1

5 but i dont like the descriptions i dont feel like thinking lol

-1

Nicely put together. 5 for Zep III

-1

Stevie Ray Vaughn

-1

reading the title I was expecting more Who, but this is sufficient.

-1

really good.

-1

How irreverent. 5 for Warren Zevon.

-1

I don't know how many metal ones you want to do, but Chuck Schuldiner from Death is dead. The joke's a bit old, but it could still be material for this.

-1

everybody dies

-4

why does that thought cheer me up when I think of you?

-1

For John Denver, "mountain > plane" also I thought Zappa and Denver got on well because of the PMRC thing?

-1

def miss some of those guys

-1

boring

-1

-2 for the John Denver hatin'.

-1

Amen, john denver ftw

-1

Damn thats great stuff.

-1

Five for "Blood let"

-1

led zeppelin is ftw

-1

I did a show last week and I can tell how this happens to these guys. They do drugs to get over the nervousness of performing and once u are performing every night and doing coc/heroine every night ur f*cked. Captain Obvious signing off.

-1

RAWK

-1

i thought warren was eaten by a werewolf while being shot down by a headless thompson gunner.

-1

This made me sad, good site, except for I like John Denver... so only 4 stars

-1

2

-1

I have no more sympathy for them over anyone else I don't know.

-1

Would have been nice to hear more from some of them though.

-1

Where the f*ck was Randy Rhoads?

-1

doesn't mean i still don't think you're a douche

-1

I like how it starts Duane Allman but you know Mama Cass didn't REALLY choke on a ham sandwich.....

-1

Beautiful. You truly are an artist of artists!

-1

Rock and roll died along with its best standard-bearers. What's left today is a pathetic shell of its former glory. Way to remind me.

-1

Upvoted this comment because it got buried by one person.

-1

you forgot ramones

-2

5 for Me. :)

-2

Could have more, but some good choices. :)

-2

Needs Syd Barrett from Pink Floyd. Died just last year.

-1

Are people fiving this simply because they know some of those dead humans? 'Cause there's no other logical reason. Besides, you forgot El Duce, GG Allin, Pig Champion, Darby Crash, and, uhhh, Jam Master Jay.

-2

GG Allin... Hahaha, wow. I wouldn't really describe him as a musician, more of a junkie who likes to 'interact' with his audience a bit too much.

-1

*Liked to... Allin died of an overdose, forgot that.

-1

Indeed.

-1

lame

-1

Meh...the only ones I cared about and had a direct influence on the music I listen to were James Brown and Jimi Hendrix.

-1

why do u hate john denver so much

-1

V'd

-2

4'd for the mozart

-2

Cass is fat.

-2

Dimebag Darrel Abbot, man! The heaviest rocker there is killed in Ohio, the least rockworthy state.

-1

Michael Hutchence (of INXS, suicide, hanging)

-1

Brian Jones from the Rolling Stones. Holy sh*t, that rhymed.

-1

5 if you get Syd Barrett in there

-1

YES

5'd for dead John Lennon

-1

I was surprised to see Warren Zevon...truely a great man. Rick Allen: seatbelts dont just save lives, they can also rip limbs off.

-1

MAMA CASS DID NOT DIE BY CHOKING ON A SANDWICH, DAMMIT.

-1

5'd for classic rock, and the Kurt Cobain part made me laugh

-2

Also, thank you for not using "Stairway to Heaven."

you should put these in chronological order or something...

It got started as alphabetical, got f*cked up by suddenly going alphabetical via first name, then well lost most of it's order. I think I'll do a continuation using the song I originally wanted to use for this. I'm bored and feeling quasi-creative lately, but not creative enough to figure out what to do a waterocolor of.
