Keith Moon

scudzilla

Cliff Burton, so he could tell James & Lars to cop the fcuk on

cycocycle

Cliff Burton.

Id like to hear his opinion on everything post "Puppets". They seem to think he'd love it. I doubt it.

Angron

Chuck Schuldiner, easy.

It may say rock, but Pantera are metal so I'm running with that.

im invisible

Ozzy osbourne

DaveSuarez

Bon Scott.

Exactly. I've often had the discussion with mates as to what route Metallica would have taken had Cliff still been around.

Extinction

Bon Scott

John Lennon all the way, alot of the rest died cause of drugs they chose to take themselves but Lennon died not by his own hand.

Varied

Euronymous from Mayhem, the guy made a masterpiece of an album and got murdered in his prime.

Youjust got there before me,I would love to see Rory Gallagher Live in concert.:cool:

Say Your Number

Randy Rhodes

pontia

would have to be bono before he died and turned into a fat pompous tax evading arsehole

Rothko

Hendrix. After all, he only ever recorded three full studio albums when he died and it would have been fascinating to see what direction he would go in next.

ThunderApple

Freddie Mercury. I'd give a lot to see just one song live...
Anyways, we are all going to party together when we die.

mitosis

Janice Joplin

Zaph

The poll is flawed, it has Karen Carpenter on it but not Joe Strummer.

rednik

Frank Zappa.

Le_Dieux

Syd Barrett & Richard Wright...TOGETHER!

Tigger

Cliff burton and jimmy hendriks

FloatingVoter

Dickie Rock. Poor zombie git.

While my first answer would have been Jimi Hendrix, this is a very, very close second.

Jimi only had 27 years. Frank managed just short of 53 years. I think they're volume of work would be similar. It's funny that they were friends, because their music was both years ahead of their time.

Motley Crue

Freddie Mercury, of course, I'd give anything to still have him around today

Riddle101

So hard to choose. I'll go with Layne Staley.

Cill94

Possibly Quorthon. Chuck Schuldiner too.

6ftTallGuy

Dimebag Darrell
Layne Staley
Jimi Hendrix
Freddie Mercury
Cliff Burton
Jimmy ''The Rev'' Sullivan
Jim Morrison

That's just a few i could think of

Hallyington

Ronnie James Dio

OH! And freddie mercury completely went past my mind!

Beruthiel

Jim Morrison.
I've always thought that if it were possible to get into a time machine, the first thing I would choose to do is go to a Doors gig when they were at the height of it.
Arriving dressed to the nines in my best hippy gear with a bag full of peyote.

hellyeah

layne staley and peter steele.

Napper Hawkins

Hendrix, **** me what a talent.

Chuck Schuldiner too.

Two absolute visionaries.

Lemmy Scott

Bon Scott absolute legend
