[pharmakon]

They use that term "musician" pretty loosely there...

 

[coldfoot_luke]

The ones who matter are all 27. YEAR OF DOOM.

And Buddy Holly.

 

[gjbassist]

Wow, that is weird that so many of them were all 27 when they died.

why is kurt cobain even on the list... he shot himself or the media says so. I think courtney love did it but jim morrison should be at the number 1 spot on the list not kurt cobain.

There are song they did that I like... but the general public doesn't distinguish between musician and someone who raps their own lyrics part of the time, someone else's words the rest of the time, over beats someone else sampled. But the list would have been more accurate if it was titled "Performers (Or entertainers)who died before 30."

why is Sid Vicious on the list? I thought hewas a wrestler that broke his leg, not died. Oh, wrong Sid Vicious. Even so, he shouldn't even be on the list.

 

[DrSmaggs]

Putting Tupac and Biggie on there and NOT Cliff Burton is blasphemy...

 

[EthanTheHeathen]

+1 on the Sid Vicious point. He's pretty worthless if you ask me. If Johnny Rotten had died that would be another story . . .

 

[Jim Campbell]

scott la faro,24,and mr pc was not much older iirc.....

 

[DrSmaggs]

well we should all know that these kinds of lists are always BS anyway... I don't know why I'm even wasting my breath on this kind of thread.

They forgot Selena Quintanilla Perez 1971-1995 age 23. That is where the name Selena in my user name come from.

(I used to go by the username Selenawannabe, cause at one time ppl said I favored her.)
