ITT: Post Musicians who died to early

jaco and captain beefheart

>>72765198
lol @ Beefheart in this context - Jaco should have died 10 years earlier, also

>>72765236
And why the fuck do you think Jaco should have died at 25? The fuck is the matter with you?

>>72765254
what did i tell you about replying to plebs anon?

>>72765294
I just want to expose him as one of those tumblrinas who think dying young is glamarous.

More like 8 or 9, Elliot was world-class.
Pic related had like, infinity or 8 bajillion decent albums left in him.

>>72765254
ok, I was off by about 4 years with Jaco, but after Word of Mouth he was pretty much already done - of course assuming that this thread is about artistic accomplishment

in any case, Jaco was a husk when he died artistically

>>72765352
He may have been a husk but he just needed the proper help that he never ended up getting. He was a genius and I believe the creative fire in him could have been revived and he would maybe, just maybe, finish that steel pan album that probably would have changed the fucking world

>>72765336
This is a good one, even though the last few albums weren't very good. I think he just needed to slow down and re concentrate.

I often forget he died at only 28.

>>72765183

What were they earlying to?

Scott LaFaro and later, Bill Evans

>>72765274
He released Five Leaves Left, Bryter Layter, and Pink Moon all before age 24. Could you imagine his power levels at age 35?

By now he'd have released at least 3 symphonies.

I didn't know that. That's terrible..

>>72765856
Also Waylon telling him he hoped his plane crashes as a joke, the guilt literally destroyed him.

>>72765824
That's kinda crazy to think that I'm one year older than he ever was and I'm still living at home while he was touring the country...

Hell, when the Beatles put out Love Me Do, George was 19 and Paul was 20. It's not right to compare yourself to these people though. They're exceptional. Top percentile of human history.

>fake whimsical dude
He was anything but fake, man. If you know his backstory, you know that he spilled his guts out and poured his soul into everything he ever recorded. Start out with pic related: Either/Or. It's considered his best and most accessible album.

His music is a lot more relatable if you're either a drug addict or fucked in the head, but you don't need to be either of those things to enjoy his fantastic guitar playing, haunting vocal harmonies, and clever lyrics. Good luck, anon. Once you get into his music, you'll probably go on a year-long binge where you listen to nothing but him.

>>72765939
Is that supposed to make me feel better? Technology is so advanced that I've grown up with almost all knowledge accessible at my fingertips yet I'm still a loser with almost no skills. Buddy Holly had nothing like that he was a superstar at 22.

>>72767764
Buddy Holly is one of the most important and talented people to ever be born. You can't go comparing yourself to that tier of person, you'll only feel bad and pointlessly.

Jimi Hendrix because he had many, many, many things in the pipeline that would've been actually very interesting, but died rather suddenly.

Bit of a pleb opinion, but Christina Grimmie if only because she had literally no reason to die other than some dude taking waifuism too far. Seriously, it's kind of a death that pisses me off because it was a musician's death that I ended up knowing because of some other hobby of mine (Competitive Smash Bros, she used to play it quite a bit, and dated one of the best Olimar players in the world, there are videos out there of her playing doubles with him and stuff like that). It just really pissed me off.

>>72768146
Part of me feels Hendrix's best work was behind him when he died and would continue to wank around for decades like the Who and Stones did. Not to say he didn't have a good album left but he just gives me this feeling. I could be totally wrong on this, but I guess we'll never know.

Should have lived just long enough to do the vocals for DMDS.

>>72768166
The thing about Hendrix was that while his best work might've been behind him, I do feel that the many collaborations he had planned were going to be influential even if the earlier albums were agreed to be the better ones. Comparing it to The Who, it's as if they had ended shortly after Tommy for whatever reason, and Townshed never getting to do Who's Next or Quadrophenia. In the long run it's not going to be all masterpieces and the debate would be open as to which are the better albums, but it would definitely be a few things which would actually matter in the musical scenario.

>>72768223
You have a point. I will say that Hendrix was a studio mastermind and even if he ran out of juice, he would be a visionary producer for other artists.

>>72765512
3PAC is a hack and you know it

>>72766864
stop

>>72768241
At the very least we'd get something with Jimi Hendrix, Miles Davis and Tony Williams produced by Alan Douglas, and at the best case scenario you throw Paul McCartney in too, plus a few others.

Basically, it's probably one of the deaths that just straight up cut us a bit short.

>>72768293
Yeah you've convinced me. Psych rock died with Jimi

>>72768304
Honestly I reckon we'd get psych jazz at the very least, and I don't know what sprouts up from then on.

It's a shame he died when he died. It would've been really exciting to see in what direction he would've taken Nirvana after the unplugged album. If the next album would've been more mellow and soft.

On the other hand we would not have gotten Foo Fighters.

>>72768322
Just the possibility of psych jazz gives me chills, Pharoah, Ayler, Trane and Alice went close with the Spiritual Jazz but not far enough.

>>72768336
If you can play an instrument, I think you might be able to get some people together to try and come up with psych jazz, if only to see how it sounds.

>>72768329

>On the other hand we would not have gotten Foo Fighters.

I know we got the worst deal

>>72768329
I'm sceptical about kurt these days

>>72768517

why is this?

>>72768528
In Utero makes me feel a bit ill. Kurt treated people badly spat in young fans faces. He didn't like his audience, which comes across

The majority of his audience came from a completely different culture, and that shows.

Kurt would stay up all night to write to his fans, his preferred audience of underground-favoring music.

>72768635
Honestly The Doors had such a good run and they were such a product of their time that I don't really see what could be added by them still going. I mean had Morrison been alive what direction would they have even gone in? More blues rock? I love L.A. Woman but that's a pretty easy genre to get burnt out on.

Croce had a ton of potential. I wouldn't say he was hugely influential or anything but it's great that his music is still so appreciated by fans.

The interesting thing about him was that he was basically a blue collar working man who did music on the side, who knows where his career could have gone

also bumping with Warren Zevon, 56 is early to me

>tfw he was expected to die in fall of 2002 but he lived long enough to see the birth of his twin grandsons in June of 2003

life can be beautiful sometimes

>>72765183

Did his wife and family turn out okay? I think I heard they were having pretty bad money problems even with Croce's newfound success

did they get a settlement or anything since the cause of the plane crash was pilot error?

He would have finished Bambu and put out a couple more decent albums. Always the underrated BB member.

Too bad he was all fucked up and died a horrible death under stupid circumstances.

If his voice or health didn't deteriorate so much in the late 80s and 90s, I think Jerry would've continued to be innovative as shit. I would love to hear what he could've done had his health not gone down the drain.
His playing wasn't as inspired as it was in the 60s and '70s; he had his moments in the 80s up until after the Grateful Dead's 87 spring tour.

I could see him having a good 90s mostly experimenting around (maybe some ambient techno/house with cello too, that would be cool), perhaps teaming up with glenn branca

then i guess he'd just stay a session cellist or do some collabs eith david byrne or something
