Punching Bag Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Brandon Lee, son of Bruce Lee. He was to be married in less than 3 weeks. For those who use/abuse drugs you really cannot say they "died young", they died early when they started taking the drugs and it just took time for body to realize it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 9 hours ago, The Senator said: Kaufman was not funny, nor ahead of his time in any way, shape, or form. He was, in fact, an obnoxious ignoramus who gave all Jewish persons a black eye. Only thing he did right was die, and not soon enough. JMO. My favorite Kaufman video (NSFW)... I’m trying to think what I would have given to be there for that taping...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T&C Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 On 5/7/2019 at 5:57 PM, The Real Buffalo Joe said: Agreed. AC/DC is one of my favorite bands. As far as being a good singer, Brian Johnson has the slight edge. But songwriting, Bon Scott is actually quite underrated. His hits might just be all about sex, drugs, and rock and roll, but look at some of his lesser known hits. Dude was quite a lyricist. Anything on the Powerage album was pure poetry. I found a random guy on Spotify (can't remember his name) that did acoustic covers of Bon Scott AC/DC songs, and if you didn't know better, you'd think they were written to be ballads. Ian Dury was only 58 when he headed out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was on tv last year but you can find it on Netflix right now. It was very well done and pretty in depth and from what I've read is supposed to be pretty accurate. Very interesting stuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliff’s bass playing would have been insane had he lived through that crash. The bass shredding and as a solo, for me that’s Cliff. Does AC/DC’s Bon Scott make it? Died the rockers death and the album after his death is one of the biggest selling... was young 33, seemed on the verge... (The likes of Dimebag Darrell, Ronnie James Dio, Lemmy and Jeff Hanneman have made sucess before passing away.)

(The likes of Dimebag Darrell, Ronnie James Dio, Lemmy and Jeff Hanneman have made sucess before passing away.) I think I'd include Bon Scott in the "already peaked," category. I was just looking up how old Dimebag was when he was murdered. 38. What I did not realize, until now, is that he was murdered on the same day (December 8th) that John Lennon was murdered 24 years earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
