Most Rock N' Roll death?

Pub07

My vote goes to Michael Hutchence of INXS who died while simultaneously pulling the flute off himself while hanging himself off a door. Technically known as auto-erotic asphyxiation. Probably at the whole time just got unlucky in this particular instance I suppose. So is there anybody out there who's death has topped this cos I can't think of anyone.

SEPT 23 1989

has to be big jim having a long soak in paris

Why did you throw the jack of hearts away?
It was the only card in the deck that I had left to play

Dying alone in a bizarre sex act isn't exactly a rock n roll death :rolleyes: It's a pretty pathetic way to go.

Randy Rhoads (a highly regarded guitarist) died when a small plane he was passenger in crashed into the bands (Ozzy Osbourne) tour bus during some daft dive-bombing antics. That's a pretty rock n roll death :pac:

Pretty rock n roll alright, there's a guy that died from that too btw lol. Altho I wouldn't class it as rock n roll in the guy's case, I class that as gay.

It's awesomeness like that that makes me want to grab a guitar and head down the road to Rock n Roll stardom. There must be no greater feeling than going out in a shower of puke.

Ahh, I can only dream.

Dying in a bus crash isn't a great 'rock and roll' death.

Stabbed himself twice in the heart.
Or killed by his girlfriend. Either way works. (",)

Sorry but time for a more serious answer.. Elliott Smith.

Truly one of music greats.. Jeff Buckley may have been more well-known but Elliott is one of the most under-appreciated artists of our time.

Two of his final songs:

If you've never heard of Elliott Smith, please seek out his material, especially 'XO' (in my opinion, the pinnacle of his career!).

Absolutely amazing.. I really don't think any artist will ever affect me like Elliott.

You scored 8 out of 10

hmmm, rock and roll deaths....

Øystein "Euronymous" Aarseth of the black metal band Mayhem was stabbed to death in his underwear by Varg Vikernes of Burzum allegedly over royalties
as aarseth owned his record label.
it gets better...

wikipedia wrote:

After Aarseth's murder Mayhem released their album De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas. Before the release Euronymous' mother had asked Hellhammer, Mayhem's drummer, to remove the bassline recorded by Vikernes. Although Blomberg promised to personally re-record the bass parts, in truth he had no idea how to and the final album retained Vikernes' contributions

Just tried it there. Bunch of mad scaremongers.

Got 8 out of ten but Mama Cass actually had a heart attack and didn't coke on a sandwich, urban myth. However she died in the same flat as Keith Moon.

Lynard Skynard really win for the most rock and roll deaths.

The Dead Milkmen do a song called "Air Crash Museum", it is about pickling the various musicians that died in plane crashes and you guessed it, opening a museum

You have just come home to find that your house/band mate has blown his head off with a shotgun. Do you:
a) Call the police/ambulance
b) Run to the nearest shop, buy a disposable camera come home and take pictures.
c) take pieces of skull to make necklaces out of to give to your friends
d)Use some suculent pieces of brain to make a stew

Answer: b,c,d

Picture was later used, in full colour on the cover of a Mayhem bootleg. It's way too graphic to post here.

You're score is 9 out of 10

Marc Bolan, travelling in a mini driven by his girlfriend, which she crashed into a tree. Women drivers eh?:rolleyes:

If only she had shared that sandwich with Karen Carpenter, they might both be alive today.

Edit-Who's gonna start the "Most Un-Rock N' Roll death?" thread?

Crumble Froo

mick jagger should get the most un rock n roll death. all he's been through, you know he's gonna die sober, in his sleep at the end of it...

Johnny Ace

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Ace

"After touring for a year, Ace had been performing at the City Auditorium in Houston, Texas on Christmas 1954. During a break between sets, under the influence of angel dust (PCP) Ace allegedly decided to play a game of Russian Roulette. He aimed a .45 caliber revolver at his girlfriend, Olivia Gibbs, and pulled the trigger. He then attempted to shoot her friend, Mary Carter. Both times, the hammer fell on an empty chamber. He then swiftly turned the gun on himself and ended his life."

Maybe less Rock N' Roll, more completely stupid.

ou will die from auto-erotic asphixiation like Michael Hutchence from INXS. Way to **** up hanging yourself buddy. (ladies commence sobbing)

It wasn't me!

In that list of deaths by the Christian scaremongers, Michael Hutchence is down as a suicide. Would "**** disaster" not fit in the slot or something?

StormWarrior

I'm going to go with Dead from Mayhem, simply because of the photo of his corpse:
