Reminder that the untalented and the hacks never die.

Well yeah you're still here.

>>72865728
the next deaths on that list will be as follows: anthony kiedis, mick jagger, eddie vedder, gene simmons (jews always live the longest)

I feel like Dave grohl should be a part of this bunch op.

Anyone else feel me?

>>72865987
jagger is the one who doesn't belong

This mutha fucker is sucking the souls of rockstars to say alive

Three of those guys made fun-oriented music and one did mostly social commentary rather than songs about himself.

Eddie Vedder seems like he has his head on straight and didn't fuck up his body with drugs and drinking, plus he has no severe mental illness, so no doubt he'll be the last of his ilk to die, barring accident.

Kiedis will probably live normally for a while longer but die at around 70, earlier than people will expect, just because his organs are probably in bad shape. He's too much of an obnoxious, egocentric asshole to ever consider suicide, honestly.

Gene will probably make it to his early 80s, he's another one I don't think got too into hard drugs if at all. Same with Jagger, relatively speaking. I'm sure he dabbled more than Gene but is nowhere near on Keith's level.

>>72866110
Keith being still alive and fairly well isn't as ridiculous as people make it out to be. His drug use was varied and long-tenured, but exaggerated. He had too much of a brain to overdo it.

>>72866110
He is smiling like that cause its true.

>>72866183
Eddie Vedder is a pretty big lush, but he's never done drugs AFAIK.

Gene Simmons has always mocked drug users as weak little faggots but he is pretty fucking overweight which for an almost 70 year old guy isn't that good. He may die earlier than expected.

>>72866183
>He's too much of an obnoxious, egocentric asshole

That applies to all of the guys in OP pic.

>>72866183
>Gene will probably make it to his early 80s, he's another one I don't think got too into hard drugs if at all
if he's had sex with half as many women as he claims, you know he's riddled with STDs

>>72866300
Gene's son actually seems pretty cool and is a decent writer. Not really sure how that happened.

>>72865728
Why are butthurt Cobain fanboys still hating on Eddie Vedder?

Keith Richards's drug use probably peaked in the mid-70s. He likes to claim he only used pharmaceutical-grade coke and heroin, but who knows?

>>72866446
Gene yes, but honestly he's pretty harmless compared to Kiedis. Gene might say retarded shit but he doesn't throw petulant tantrums and try to ruin other people like Kiedis. Mick and Eddie are only as inflated as anyone would be in their spot I think, if at all.

>>72866457
Honestly, with the kind of medical treatment available to him, STDs probably aren't much of a worry. HIV is always a scare, but even that these days is livable if you have access to the right health care, look at Charlie Sheen.

did you hear about the time he plagiarized bleach and threatened to have his dad sue everyone who spoke out on it

Agreed. Björk the parasite has many more decades to go.

>>72866544
TBF Anthony is the most likely of those four guys to have a dick rotting off from STDs.

Mick's going away in 2021

>>72866020
None of them belong there. It's just a meme. Gene Simmons is definitely a hack, but he's sure as hell not untalented.

>>72865987
>one of the greatest rock songwriters and musicians of the past 30 years
>great sense of humor
>really humble, kind guy
yeah what an untalented hack

>>72866561
No, but now that I'm looking, it's pretty funny.

>“I have no idea how people are saying my comic looks like that bleach magma. My book is in color and the other is not. My book reads left to right… the other reads right to left. Besides some vague similarities, they’re nothing alike."

Paul Stanley is easily the much better guy in terms of songwriting and just plain work ethic.

>>72866544
>Gene might say retarded shit but he doesn't throw petulant tantrums and try to ruin other people like Kiedis
Mike Patton detected. Get off of /mu/, you bum.

>>72866663
The KISS solo albums should tell you all you need to know about where the talent is. Gene and Paul are basically equal if you count all the beans, but Frehley was the one who was somewhat gifted.

>>72866758
Ace Frehley was the guy who inspired a lot of kids to pick up a guitar, like for example Dimebag Darrell.

>>72866758

I saw Kiss a couple weeks ago in Laughlin, and I think you're right about Ace being the real talent. Gene's bass "solo" was just weird slapping, sliding, and tongue-ing. Good show, but not mind-blowing.

>>72866829
Paul Stanley is pretty awful to watch now. He can't sing anymore and doesn't even make an effort to perform on stage.

>>72866843

Totally. He was spotty with his singing, mustering up what he could, but in between songs you could hear his vocal chords where stressed and scarred.

>>72865728
BSSM, Californication, By The Way and Stadium Arcadium are all great albums and Anthony's lyrics for these albums are great too.

TFW John Fruscainte is looking a little fried in the head in recent photos. Hope he's not fucked up on drugs again because he has to pay his ex wife $30000 a month alimony.

>>72866829
Gene's problem was that he'd have been second guitar in any other band and probably OK at it. He came up with a lot of the riffs before Ace got fully integrated into the band, like Deuce for example. But with the kind of music they play, his bass was expendable.

I gotta say, Paul Stanley must hold the record for the rock vocalist with the most deterioration. It's not just that he lost a little range with age, his vocal chords are literally like hamburger meat now. It's not just the bazillions of live shows over the decades, but his stage banter really took a toll. He'd yell at the top of his lungs between sets about how important the KISS Army (their fans) were and all that. He got throat surgery in the late 2000s, but he ignored doctors' orders to take it easy and continued to abuse himself trying to hit high notes like the Heaven's On Fire intro.

If you've seen more recent interviews with the guy, he can barely even talk anymore, let alone sing.

>>72866939
>>72866932
Usually the guys whose voices hold up well are the ones like Anthony Kiedis and Mick Jagger who don't really sing, they sing-talk. Most of the screamer/power vocalists go to shit with time.

>>72866939
Elton John's up there too. He doesn't sound remotely like he used to, it's actually kind of scary, it's not just the usual drop all old men get. Dylan's is shot.

Paul McCartney was ok until about 5 years ago but his voice has really deteriorated recently. He still has lots of energy and stage presence, but he can't sing anymore.

>>72867069
>Dylan's is shot
dylan's been terrible live far longer than he's been good. i'm jealous of those who have positive anecdotes of his concert

>>72866960
>Most of the screamer/power vocalists go to shit with time

Chris Barnes fucked up his voice pretty good, but it could have been the all the smoking he has done. Never liked Cannibal Corpse though. Lord Worm fucked up his voice quite quick, Once Was Not was an aggressive spiral downwards related to his earlier work. Devin Townsend's voice and range seems to hold sway well, which is odd considering what he does. Maybe all this is why Serj Tankian gave up the harder vocals; protecting his crazy voice.

>>72866960
Normal, melodic singing (and even some singing with embellishment) won't kill you if you do warm-ups, exercise proper form, stay hydrated, etc. I guarantee Jagger had a vocal coach at some point give him this kind of advice, not to improve his fidelity but just to give him longevity.

>>72866960
Axl Rose is a perfect example. Great voice back in the day. Tragically sounds like Mickie Mouse on helium

>>72867090
He had the most powerful, technical singing of the Beatles so no surprise.

>>72867101
He was fine up until Time Out of Mind roughly, that's when the frog voice started showing up. I saw him about 10 years ago and I thought there was something wrong with Mohegan Sun's sound system.

>>72867197
Dylan's voice tends to change dramatically every album; a lot of fans like to debate which era of his career had the best vocals.

The vocals chords unfortunately are a very easy part of the body to injure because they have no nerve endings in them, therefore you won't know you're damaging them until it's too late.

>>72866932
>BSSM, Californication, By The Way and Stadium Arcadium are all great albums
You don't belong on /mu/. Try /r/music instead.

>>72866936
>But with the kind of music they play, his bass was expendable

Gene played some good melodic bass in the 70s, but by the 80s he just chugged the root note. Though I grant it was just because of changing music styles--melodic bass lines weren't in fashion during the 80s. Judas Priest stopped having melodic bass in the 80s as well. Too bad because Ian Hill had some pretty good bass lines on those early albums.

>>72867140
Like most of the British singers of his day, Jagger was taught to sing with an American accent. I'm sure his coach included voice care in that.

>>72867760
Wasn't Syd Barrett the first guy to sing with a British accent?

>>72867920
he was the first British pop star to make a rousing success of it

I highly doubt he was the first to go about doing it in the studio

>>72866650
Foo Fighters might be pretty generic, but God damn do I love Dave Grohl.

>>72866110
his finger joints are disgusting

>>72866020
One of the best frontmen of all time, the music doesn't even fucking matter at this point, he deserves to be remembered for stage presence alone

>>72867339
Blind RHCP hating is more reddit than admitting they have a few classics, namely Mother's Milk and BSSM for me.

>>72868127
Eh, the first two albums are damn good

>>72868203
Stones music is amazing though, fuck that other guy.

>>72865728
Eddie Vedder shall live forever.

>>72865728
The Rolling stones are better than The Beatles.
