If you could bring a dead rock star back to life

If you could bring a dead rock star back to life for one gig, who would it be?

John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix, Elvis, Kurt Cobain, Buddy Holly, Freddie Mercury? Or someone else?

I would go back even farther than rock, bring back Robert Johnson or Beethoven as for rock bring back Frank Zappa.

Ooh very tough.

If the person we brought back would be their original age when/or before they died. otherwise, in their "prime" I would bring back.
Hendrix (only in his 20's) or Lennon (give peace a chance) we need it in the world today.

Why I wouldnt bring back Cobain, because the guy prob would have killed himself again, he was so miserable. Even if courney had him offed. The guy was influential, (yea) but he didnt bring much else

edit: Beethoven ftw! For sure.

Did you get this thread idea from that pop charts birthday site? They had a poll for this on the rgith hand side.

Mine is none of the above- Layne Staley

Bradley is a good one though.

I would bring back Bradley so he could make more music and Jim Morrison cause that dude was crazy and I would love to hang out for awhile...

Re: If you could bring a dead rock star back to life

Tough choices imo..

Between Hendrix, Nowell, Marley, Cobain, Morrison and Cash, i'd have to go with Cobain..

For the sole reason of the possibly imminent things he could(if he wasn't so domed all the time) have done with prog and breaks. This statement i make, is with regards to that one video of him talking about growing up on new wave, and popularizing grunge, and then he goes on thinking about making progress into something else? He also hinted at bringing back breakdancing.. so idunno, a rather intriguing thought. the video is not available on youtube anymore though..


oh and Starkid, he was a rocker in his own rite

cobain and shoot him right away for being annoying.

john lennon and shoot him for creating annoying pop music before they got to be immortal

but seriously....... the world cuold use freddy mercury back. i think he would be more importnat on social issues than bob geldof ever imagined.

Re: If you could bring a dead rock star back to life

cobain without a doubt. listen to the last song he ever wrote (do-re-mi) to get an idea of where he was heading...amazing stuff. would love to hear the music he'd be making now, a bit mellowed with age.

Freddy Mercury - Just watch his 'under pressure' live or one of his live versions of 'somebody to love'. The energy that he can inject into the audience is amazing.

As much as I'd love to hear some more hendrix i think one of the reasons he has such a strong musical legacy is that he wasn't around long enough to start writing crap music.
