you kidding? those two don't even belong in the same room as jimi!

― vahid (vahid), Wednesday, 3 August 2005 18:00 (twenty years ago)

Are we talking about the Dr. Teeth band?

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Wednesday, 3 August 2005 18:11 (twenty years ago)

if they hadnt died they would have just sucked for 30 years after just like every other classic rock mainstay

― DEADFLAG, Thursday, 4 August 2005 06:13 (twenty years ago)

probably. but still, Jimi!

ah no question, Jimi.

Albert.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Thursday, 4 August 2005 09:20 (twenty years ago)

vahid OTM. But Huk-L has a point as well.

Morrison was a hero to most but he never meant shit to me, a straight-out rockist the sucker was simple and plain, motherfuck him and Jeff Wayne!*

(*only 'cos it rhymed)

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Thursday, 4 August 2005 12:09 (twenty years ago)

I HEART Jimbo!

― Vicious Cop Kills Gentle Fool (Dada), Thursday, 4 August 2005 12:23 (twenty years ago)

Hey, people, let's get some perspective - Janice hasn't gone for *ever*! She'll return to her midnight R2 show after a break - Liz Kershaw is only filling in.

Bless you, Pinefox.

Also, fuck this shite - BIG BOPPER 4EVAH

Hendrix. But Morrisson if there were more of the shows that included him drunkenly bellowing into the mic "If you love your baby....F**K her in the A**!"

Never Janis, although I do respect her ability to completely destroy her vocal chords on a nightly basis.

I do wonder if any of these three were alive today if they would still be going and/or popular. My bet would be on Jimi...

― Lupton Pitman (Chris V), Thursday, 4 August 2005 13:47 (twenty years ago)

Jimi would be doing some fucked up avant garde jazz these days.. The other two would be dead of fatness.

OH MAN MORRISON AND KRISPY KREMES.

"New from Krispy Kreme...the Jim Morrisson Peyote Bourbon Glazed Kruller!"

"Can't make it through Friday? Start howling at the copier and dry humping the water cooler with the new Jim Morrisson Peyote Bourbon Glazed Kruller!"

Musically speaking, each death was less unfortunate than the one before it, chronologically.

"Lizard King Pest Control...James speaking."

jimi tenor still houses, rolls 'n rocketh amongst us. o yup he does.

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Thursday, 4 August 2005 14:34 (twenty years ago)

Hed Jim retired from rock and focused on screenplays and poetry, things could have been interesting. (Yes, his published poetry was often immature, hokey and melodramatic. So is that of most wannabe poets in their 20s. I always wondered where maturation would have taken him.)

Hee! Drive on through to the other side.

― Joseph McCombs (Joseph McCombs), Thursday, 4 August 2005 15:13 (twenty years ago)

Jimi; absolutely no question whatsoever.

― Ian John50n (orion), Thursday, 4 August 2005 16:43 (twenty years ago)

Jimi by a country mile.

― M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Thursday, 4 August 2005 16:57 (twenty years ago)

and then Jim....and then Janice in a diiiiistant third.....after being being lapped five times by Jimi and three times by Jim and then running out of gas and then being towed into the pit lane and then having one of her pit crew screw up in putting on a new tire so they have to redo it and then being slammed into the wall by Tony Stewart and limping to finish the race....and losing her Home Depot sponsorship in the process.

I'll go with Jim Morrison...he's fun. Do you Jimi backers hate fun? If Jimi lived he woulda turned into Dream Theater or some shit.

― p.j. (Henry), Thursday, 4 August 2005 17:34 (twenty years ago)

jimi wasnt about prog, dude. he was all about PSYCH FREAKOUTS!!!

― Fetchboy (Felcher), Thursday, 4 August 2005 17:37 (twenty years ago)

Do you Jimi backers hate fun?

?!? How are, say, "Foxy Lady" or "Crosstown Traffic" not FUN?

Horse Latitudes is a party JAM!!!

― M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Thursday, 4 August 2005 17:38 (twenty years ago)

I was kidding you guys, but I will say that I've enjoyed the Doors more in my day.

― p.j. (Henry), Thursday, 4 August 2005 17:44 (twenty years ago)

DOORS >> JANIS >>>>>> JIM SOLO

― vahid (vahid), Thursday, 4 August 2005 18:09 (twenty years ago)

Morrison. The career arcs of Hendrix and Janis were a little weird. Morrison was on top of his game from the beginning to the end.

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Thursday, 4 August 2005 18:15 (twenty years ago)

jimi from a talent perspective, jim because he was hilarious (can you imagine a Lizard King reality show?)

janis sucks. so manly and gross. she makes Linda Perry look like Hilary Duff.

― JD from CDepot, Thursday, 4 August 2005 18:21 (twenty years ago)

Janis rules, you are all fools.
(with thanks to James Blount).

― Masked Gazza, Thursday, 4 August 2005 19:13 (twenty years ago)

Ug..I just detest Janis. Mercedes Benz might be the song played over and over in my cell in Hades.

― M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Thursday, 4 August 2005 19:32 (twenty years ago)

To me, Janis Joplin seems very much of her time.

― p.j. (Henry), Thursday, 4 August 2005 20:11 (twenty years ago)

> If Jimi lived he woulda turned into Dream Theater or some shit.

Fascinating, I never would've pictured him going that route. I've got him going in a Bitches-Brew-jazz direction. (There's another thread about speculating on what-if-they'd-lived's, and the one on Jimi was particularly inspired.

― Joseph McCombs (Joseph McCombs), Friday, 5 August 2005 01:16 (twenty years ago)

ah, Jimi would've made some Bill Laswell records, and he would be living in Nashville right now, too, recording jazz-guitar duets with Brad Paisley.

― edd s hurt (ddduncan), Friday, 5 August 2005 17:14 (twenty years ago)

That sounds about right.

oh man that's good stuff

― The Good Dr. Bill (The Good Dr. Bill), Friday, 5 August 2005 17:34 (twenty years ago)

Jim Morrison would have wound up singing showtunes in some rundown Vegas casino, barely fitting in a threadbare tux.
