John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix, Elvis, Kurt Cobain, Buddy Holly, Freddie Mercury? Or someone else?

Jeff Buckley or Elliott Smith
this ^^
more Jeff than Elliot
Yes
Jeff Buckley
I'd bring Jeff Buckley back
so I could kill him again.
hed be
a bit soggy now. Like an over-milked weetabix, only with rotten flesh.
The fellow from Def Leppard
Steve Clark!
Hell yeah!!
Hendrix
Hendrix
it'd be a dick in the ass of all these soulless wet indie bands around. he'd just be like WOOOOOOOOOOSH
Freddie Mercury
He'd be the most grateful.
Keith Moon!
Imagine what he'd get Pete Doherty doing
Yes!
Freddie would be shit hot and probably the most fun in the world.
Why?
Its not like he wasn't irresponsible.
richey edwards
obviously, not for the man's musical talent but i would love to see generation terrorist-era manics for one night!
he might be alive.
Cobain
Although he'd probably just get high
I don't think his vocals would be up to much.
he'd probably be dizzy
from all that spinning he's been doing in his grave.
then shoot himself again.
thank you courtney love. you twat.
Bring back Kurt!
He'd have a few tales to tell about his demise methinks...
Joe Strummer
and i know he's not a rock star but my no1 choice would be John Peel.
+1 for Joe
Happened just when it seemed that the Mescaleros were gathering pace, and the talk of a one night only clash reformation for the rock and roll hall of fame. Still with a congenital heart defect i guess we were lucky we got 52 years of Joe to begin with.
if you're going off road. . .
Bill Hicks.
^ seconded
Bo Diddley
The only answer is Lennon,
but I'd like to hear Nick Drake or Thelonious Monk etc.
one gig?? hahah
imagine the person coming back to life but the deal is, they have to play a gig FOR ME. they'd probably want to do other stuff with their last night of life.
but to answer this properly ... probably klaus nomi.
Thelonious Sphere Monk
what a cool ass name.
J Dilla
Mozart.......
failing that Hendrix!
Mozart ...
with Eno to give him a crash course in modern music technology
Richey Edwards?
LOLZ
He's in spain
i read it in a book. Someone saw him buying some ceisps and it was him
mmm ceisps
Rady Selted
or Selt and Avantgaaard?
i like cees and onin
Mmm tasty ceisps
I lik some ceisps that do pawn coktil
PWN coktil
:D
'Kin JOHNNY HENDRICKX!
mine would be
Syd Barrett, Jeff Buckley or and I know he wasnt a 'rock star' but he made awesome weird music, Jean Michelle Basquiat.
D. Boon
cos he'd fuckin love it.
^^^^^
DEFINITELY...and he'd probably invent another music style
Dimebag
Buddy Holly
So much potential, so little time. Better than Elvis.
Probably Paul McCarnety
hahahaahahhahahahaahahah
I'm the first person to think of Ian Curtis?
Didn't think that'd be the case :o
Apart from him,it'd be adam cox, Matt Fitzgerald and Jeremy Gage of the exploding hearts.
They make a power pop masterpiece,and then look what happened :S
LOVE Ian Curtis
Please, please, bring back Ian Curtis!
Hendrix
And to all the people who said Cobain:He'd just kill himself again
^^
very true.
Adrian Borland
Can I kill Jeff Mangum
and then bring him back to life?
If so; this.
John Entwistle
and keith moon!
Goin with.
Hendrix
or maybe
the harmonica player from Pusherman
Gram Parsons
I would die a happy man if i could see him with Emmylou Harris.
Cliff Burton
if only to save us from the shite-ness of recent Metallica.
Keith
Richards.
the lead singer
from drowning pool, of course, DUH guys
His death was a good advert
for legalising smack.
oh well, I looked it up
and it was heart disease- had him mixed up with some other talentless fuck.
Tom Waits
I know he's not dead, but I'd see it as like an insurance policy so I could resurrect him as and when he did go.
Muddy
Waters.
D Boon
D Boon
Nico
she'd just started to clean up her act and all :'(
Jimi Hendrix
Just would be beyond incredible, I want to see him live so his music can make my ears feel emotion.
Off that list
probably Otis Redding
Norman 'Hurricane' Smith
because 'Don't Let It Die' stamps most songs into the ground, picks them up, dusts them off then starts stamping all over again.
1970s Bowie
:(
Elvis or Jimi
aw haw. wah wah.
Jeffrey Lee Pierce
please since I never got to see the Gun Club
Rory Gallagher
scatman john
drummer from feeder
jokes
Hendrix
or
Phil Lynott.
Strummer.
