Dead Artists You'd Like to Have Seen

Does what it says on the tin. Which singers or groups would you like to have seen, but can't because one or more of their members has passed on?



Jimi Hendrix is a must for me. I would have loved to see the master at work.



Another would be Freddie Mercury, awesome showman, must have been out of this world to hear him live.

Plenty of others to choose from, sadly. Who would you have liked to see?

Kurt Cobain? John Lennon? Elvis?

Would love to have seen bob marley live another would have been freddie mercury.

Frank Zappa, Captain Beefheart, Jaco Pastorius and as mentioned above Hendrix and Marley.

IN spirit of the thread title.

Would have to be Leonardo Davinci or Vincent van Gogh

Leonardo Davinci

Enjoyed his last film 

Also, to have seen Thin Lizzy live would have been cool.

Freddie Mercury.

Elvis.

But is there a thread like this already out there?

The Dead Artist formerly known as Prince.

got to agree with Jimi , Freddie and Kurt

but not Elvis im far too young 

Freddie Mercury for me.

Absolute brilliant frontman.

Kurt Cobain (Nirvana)
Layne Staley (Alice In chains) I had every chance and missed them!
James Lynn Strait (Snot)
'Dimebag' Darrell Abbott (Pantera) Again, should have made more effort.
Shannon Hoon (Blind Melon)
Jimi Hendrix (would love to see him play 'Hey joe')
Bon Scott (AC/DC) Brian Johnson is brilliant but I wish I'd seen Bon Scott

Hmm Jim Morrison from the Doors and Hendrix!

Kurt Cobain with Nirvana, and John Bonham with Led Zeppelin.

Enjoyed his last film 

Also, to have seen Thin Lizzy live would have been cool.

Thin Lizzy were cool i have been lucky enough to see them on a few occasions. Missed out on Bon Scott though!!!

Slightly different to the "Music Legends, If you could who would you bring back?" thread this. Dead artists that I've never seen but would have liked to. ...

Bob Marley. - did see The Wailers
Nirvana. (Kurt Cobain) - had the chance but declined; 'cause "they'll be back". ...arrragh!
Joy Division. (Ian Curtis)
Thin Lizzy. (Phil Lynott)
Doors. (Jim Morrison)
Jay Reatard.

Sorry, missed that one.

Nirvana. (Kurt Cobain) - had the chance but declined; 'cause "they'll be back". ...arrragh!

Inconsiderate b***ard, topping himself just to piss you off!

The "why did he do it" mystery is finally solved.

Elvis, The Doors, AC/DC (With Bon Scott) and The Beatles for me.

Based on that criteria Elvis, Roy Orbison and Michael Jackson

John Lennon with the Beatles.

Phil Lynott. Jimi Hendrix. Pure legends. As for bands. Nirvana - My mate had tickets for the gig which was supposed to be the week Kurt killed himself. . . His mum threw out the ticket Alice In Chains. Mother Love Bone - Although I got Pearl Jam
