Musician deaths that will hit you the hardest.

If Action Bronson's corpse was thrown at me, that would probably hurt the most.
>>64243638
David Bowie
Oh wait ;_;
good thing thom isn't a junkie and his granma is like 106 so were fine
Krent Brobrine
None. I don't get upset about strangers.

Go back to ledit, mr. "cynical"
>>64243783
looks like my grandma
>>64243787
It's not apathy. I'd get upset if a friend died. I love prince's good records but his death doesn't affect me. If he retired the result is the same.
>>64243596
I strongly doubt anyone will hurt as much as bowie.
For real.
>>64243912
agreed. if he was still living he would be my answer to this question.
most of the musicians i'm into aren't that old and don't seem to leave particularly unhealthy lives, so i'll just list older pp i'll be sad aboutl:
vashti bunyan
joni mitchell
neil young
michael gira
david byrne

shit i've never even thought about him dying. that will be a bad one
Damon Albarn. Definitely, or Beck.
>>64243767
I'll be sad because i love his music so much, but happy at the same time because he's such a cunt
>>64243750
>>64243781
these and daniel johnston definitely
Will he outlive us all?
>>64243871
i thought he died already?

Nope, still kicking it at 81

Rob is next btw
Paul McCartney and Ringo.
David Byrne is gonna feel weird
>>64244097
Literally walking zombie
Jeffy pls :(
>>64244327
this in a way
not that i particularly like the beatles, it'll just be really weird living in a world where all 4 are dead
Who the heck are all these people?
It's gonna fuck me up senpai
>>64244470
True anon
Jeff Mangum, Isaac Brock and Trent Reznor too
Carol King's will hit hard, believe it or not.
Can't be long now
>>64244470
It would be the same: idiots making their crazy theories around them. The only thing that changes is that they will not questioned.

i will rain hellfire on this board if i live to see kevin shields die
>>64243996

Came here to say this
I'd legit prefer to die young than to have to experience a post-Frusciante world
>>64244593
I don't wanna believe
I feel like Kevin Shields could go out in a shit way.
>>64243596
Thurston.
He is 57 too.
>>64244749
who are they
Honest to god? Any of the original blink 182 guys.
I met them early in their run, they were signing autographs in a skatepark.
I was there, completely lost in drugs and alcohol, and they noticed and convinced me to quit.
>>64244724
Why do people love him so much? Honest question, I've never gotten it.
>>64243727
This
I will definitely need a day off of work
>>64244829
He's good?
is there a more perfect specimen?
>>64244776
I would mourn like a motherfucker.

jon heder is a great actor, but this thread is about musicians
>>64244805 Just putting this out there cause /mu/ is fucking stupid: this is b8. Every one of you douchebags fall for trolling and /pol/ling so often it's pathetic.
Why the fuck would the death of somebody who I don't personally know 'hit' me 'hard'? How is that even impossible? Kill yourself you little cry baby.

no stop it's not going to happen ;-;

>young
>John Frusciante
Makes sense.
same
>>64244883
Well yeah, but there are many who are better. Mark Knopfler, Joe Bonnamassa, Rory Gallagher.
>>64244929
bcus listening music is an emotional experience and you feel a connection with the artist unless your cold and dead inside so shit off fucking autismatron
>>64244829
He's such a driving creative force (just compare any RHCP album with him to the ones without him) and somehow knows how to write music that makes me feel every emotion. He's definitely one of the people who inspired me to play music.
>>64244929
Because I'm capable of forming emotional bonds as a consequence of my experiences.
srsly thom is looking rough these days
I know it's going to be soon too. :'(
>>64243596
Kenny G
Daniel Johnston, David Gilmour, and Rivers Cuomo are probably going to hurt the most. They were integral to my formative years.
>>64244971
Yeah, but excluding knopfler, they have never been close to being popular.
Frusciante was in a popular band, that would have probably been a one album wonder if it wasn't thanks to him. He elevated the rhcp to something else, and he got regular joes to listen to some incredible guitar work, that might not be at the same level of 'patrician' guitarists, but it's something else.
It's pretty much "the right place at the right time", and a bit of "no other guitarist would have done what he did for rhcp" which you can check out in their latest album. Klinghoffer is good, but his style in the early band days would have lead them to a whole different story.
Plus he makes cool tracks with renoise
Easily
>>64244890
She's the devil itself.
tony iommi is probably going to be soon

I mean it.This goofball made the soundtrack to my late teens and early 20s and helped make them more bearable, and he's fucking gentle soul.
>>64244971
I love them too but it isn't just his guitar playing that I love, it's his compositional style in general across all instruments and genres (even his acid house stuff which seemed to detract a lot of fans).
I may be a bit of a fanboy about him but I'll always love him for how open he made me to music.
can we post musicians death that has hit you the hardest?
I still haven't quite gotten over pic related
>>64245296
yeah his death will hit me hard too. He was so popular when i was kid in the 80's
>>64245328
Fuck I forgot Jeff Hanneman was dead
>>64245296
I never really cared about his music but his death will still hurt a lot.
He's a good guy, he did something no one else did well and he's still doing it better than most.
There's something incredibly respectable about the man.
>>64245232
Don't Even Joke about this one.
I'm still waiting for my Discipline Reunion.

no

>>64245523
well i'm black, so that throws your theory for a loop.
>>64245523
It's hard to write music and lyrics separately, let alone together; it's a whole other challenge writing completely different lyrics for already composed music that make some sense and 1) have to do with the original song without retreading it or 2) have to do with the artist or band or 3) are a deliberate juxtaposition to 1 or 2. He's also done a lot of style parodies and songs that parody non-musical things, where it's new music and lyrics. If nothing else you have to respect his band-- I'd like to see you play a song in the style of another band so accurately that people are routinely in the dark about it being a different recording, let alone different performers, until new lyrics are put over it.

It never became anything beyond facebook drama, so stop acting like it did or using it to find a reason to dislike the man. There's enough already, and he's admitted to it and apologized.

oh wow he apologized
>>64245033
Doesn't he smoke like a chimney?
>>64246195
I realized that after I wrote that. I meant apologized for the shit he did to jarboe and his fellow bandmates back when he was an alcoholic. All Grimm supposedly wanted was for him to 'admit" he raped her and stated in her original post she didn't want this to hurt his career in any way, so if you're still posting this, you are going against the intent of the person you are "defending".
>>64246225
it helped making his voice cooler
>>64245902
i'll have to laser off my d tattoo
The end is nigh and I am not ready to face it.
David Bowie and Prince both died before Radiohead released lp9
We haven't heard anything about him in nearly two decades, but he's had such an impact on my own music that the news of his death would really sting.
surprise noone has posted him yet

Tumblr, get out
Him as well as Lee Ranaldo
>>64244456
I was just thinking today how he is one of the only artists who I would legitimately feel sad if they died
desu
>>64247237
This. His music has helped me immensely, and I still struggle coping with the fact that he's not here anymore.
>>64247237
that one hurt
No one ?
I've loved his music since I was a kid, easily the artist I have listened to the most. Such an interesting guy too. The world needs him
>>64247247
/pol/ get out
>>64247309
Right? Me too. And he was so unbelievably talented. How many artists would give their fucking left nut to write a song as good as the ones he threw away.
I just wish I could shake his hand and tell him how much he means to me. He was too good for this world.
I'd probably react the same way I did upon hearing about elliot's passing.
he'll be fine
>>64247444
Which is why King's Crossing is still one of the most haunting songs ever written.
If he dies, I'm ending it. He spit on me at a gig in 2009 and that was the high point of my life. Besides, such a fun guy and an underrated guitarist.
Daniel Johnston is too good for this world
Not even kidding. People already wish death upon him but when he actually happens everyone will pretend to be a big fan and I will actually be sad as fuck.
>>64243750
why does he look like a chimp
>>64247237
What amazes me about Elliott is that he of all people became such a superstar (relatively I guess)
Like you look at the common answers people post and the musicians with huge followings and enormous reputations like Gira and Bjork and Bowie and Thom and RDJ and those are all cool and everything but then you have this fucking goofy-ass guy from Portland who just quietly played his guitar to himself and ended up almost winning an Oscar and playing all around the world and becoming this legendary figure
I dunno it's just something that's always stuck out to me about Elliott. He was so quiet and down to Earth it always amazes me that he's reached such a status
>>64247489
This version always gives me chills
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJCvXEK9Dhk
It's his first show of the year he died and you can tell he's fucked up and struggling to get through it, and when he sings the "give me a good reason not to do it" line his sister responds
>>64247692
>>64247613
I've never listened to him. What sort of music is it and what album should I start on?
>>64247281
I hope he gets over that stupid +voidz era quickly. Ill fucking miss him tho'.
>>64247787
same to be quite brutally honest. highly doubt it though , havent liked anything of his since angles
>>64247457
this little bitch can't die soon enough
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COv81enKHEw
>>64247732
Chronologically his releases evolve from barebones singer-songwriter folk to more chamber-y folk/rock stuff.
I generally say Either/Or is the best starting point since it keeps the production to a present minimum and really exemplifies his songwriting. Then just move through them from first to last.
Real nigger questions: Who do you honestly think will die next?
Morrissey has cancer.
>>64247836
Thanks friend. I'll get going on it.
>>64243596
I'll cry myself to sleep when the day comes for Trent.
>>64247915
Dude looks hella in shape and seems like he cares about his health.
>>64247841
He says he's dealing with it fine and receiving all the necessary treatments.
>>64247732
Ranges from sparse acoustic singer/songwriter to indie rock with full backing bands and string arrangements and all sorts of crazy stuff to borderline noise rock but he consistently writes amazing songs (and lyrics especially) throughout.
Start with Either/Or and then if you want angrier/darker and more stripped down move backwards in his discography and if you want more indie rock and full arrangements then move forwards.
Good luck. If you don't like what you hear then try jumping around a little, I didn't like him at all at first but then I gave Either/Or a proper listen and within a month he was my favorite musician (and I've since come around to all the songs I used to really dislike too).
>>64247932
I'm not even a Smiths fan, I was just curious, that's all. Bowie was going fine with his treatment and then it came back and killed him.
>>64245523
Spotted the contrarian.
>>64247960
Both of you have suggested Either/Or so I think that's probably the best place to start. Even if I don't like it at first I'll listen to it again. It generally takes me a few listens to get the feel of an album anyway, regardless of genre.
>>64247895
>>64247996
No problem, I'm more than happy to help anyone listen to Elliott Smith. He was a real gem, without a shadow of a doubt one of the most talented songwriters of the last few decades, if not more. I have an unhealthy obsession.
>>64248028
That's okay. I have an unhealthy obsession with Kanye West, but I take it in my stride. We all have at least one artist/band that we love a lot more than we should.
Surely I'm not the only one that thinks he looks like Noel Fielding in this picture.
I still can't believe that Lemmy outlived him. He attributes his survival of his years of drug use to his Neanderthal DNA supposedly.
http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/ozzy-osbourne-genome/
>>64243750
Him and Leonard Cohen are so close to death's door they are standing on its welcome mat.
>>64248127
Yeah I read about that. Interesting as fuck that someone could literally have a gene that makes them tolerate drugs better.
>>64247281
Oh fuck that will be horrible
>>64247996
Either/Or is usually agreed to be the best starting point because his style was always changing but it's sort of a middle ground for his music, and it's got some of his best songs from both his solo and indie rock styles so it's pretty easy to pick a direction from there. Lately I've found myself going to his self-titled album and XO more often but every song on Either/Or is still just about perfect to me. Enjoy it, Anon.
>>64248028
> He was a real gem, without a shadow of a doubt one of the most talented songwriters of the last few decades, if not more
Fuck I'm glad to talk to someone else that agrees with me
It really is unbelievable how good of a musician he was. Like I once tried to play Angeles and I couldn't get ahold of the rapid finger-picking and chord changes at the same time to save my life but if you watch him do it live he just does casually does little fills like that like he's not even paying attention or he's just fucking around. It blows my mind. Everything about his music does.
Have you checked out Grand Mal? It's an unofficial compilation of like eight fucking discs of unreleased Elliott stuff, and while most of it is just alternate/early versions of songs some of his best work is on there too. Stickman and See You In Heaven always make me feel like tearing up. Plus it's got one disc that compiles all of his singles/B-sides which is nice to have in one place.
>>64248100
I remember Lou Barlow was there when he took that picture and he claims that there's one of Sebadoh in that exact spot and pose too but he lost it ages ago
>>64244593
NO. I will never be ready for this one.
>>64245296
Absolutely, not only have I loved his music for decades but he just seems like a really great individual.
>>64248100
>>64248228
Yeah, I've got the rarities. Not even taking into consideration his actual releases, all of that unreleased material is phenomenal. Like, some of those tracks could have been Beatles singles.
>he just does casually does little fills like that like he's not even paying attention
No kidding, he's criminally underappreciated as a songwriter, even less as a guitarist. A few tracks are almost shred-y, but his normal arrangements are so unlike any other artist I've heard. His two hands with a guitar sounds like four hands sitting at a pia
>>64243800
It always gets me how old he looks. Not in an unhealthy way, just in a gruff old racist uncle kind of way.
>>64246568
he's got at least 25 years left in him dw
>>64248425
at least when he dies fyad will stop riding his dick, cant say the same for ajj though.
Dave's death will hit me the hardest. This is the man that inspired me to pick up a guitar. Despite not being into metal as I use to be, I still always go back to a Megadeth album and play along to the songs.
>>64248679
No kidding. How did fucking Ostrich and Chirping make it onto FABOTH but Stickman didn't? And See You In Heaven would have been great after Distorted Reality. I've always thought it would be great if there was some sort of revised tracklist for that album closer to what he wanted.
> His two hands with a guitar sounds like four hands sitting at a pia
What gets me is when he takes the piano songs and translates them to guitar almost perfectly. How many fucking musicians could do it like that.
Do you know of any other albums (besides Elliott's) like Roman Candle or his s/t? As much as I love all his other stuff those two have always stuck out to me for how much raw emotion and anger he conveys, combined with his songwriting. Roman Candle in particular. The atmosphere and emotion of that song is something else, and the actual melody just makes it even better.
I love every riff this fucker wrote and every tone they were delivered in. Shit's gonna suck.
>>64247459
His verse on Kabang was ill, but I was a little worried when I heard how slurred his speech was. He's been through a lot and I hope it doesn't kill him before he becomes the side of sage that hip hop needs.
>>64248904
Nothing quite like that, no. Sufjan Stevens' song Kill sounds almost like a rewrite of Roman Candle, but the rest of that album is pretty wild. Kevin Devine's performance of Carnival at The 567 is pretty emotive. Fionn Regan's pretty good, too.
Sadly, aside from a song on some guy's soundcloud, I haven't heard anything I could REALLY relate to Elliott Smith. Everything about what he did was very much "him".
George the god of funk Clinton
>>64249100
PLEASE DONT DIE ;_; PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
I'll be really sad, he isn't even 30 yet and he's such a complete human being. So peaceful, so conscious and so talented.
>>64243787
i hate her
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYyyqIZTvYY
>>64249267
Oh yeah, I love Sufjan but I've heard some of the songs off A Sun Came are pretty blatant in how they borrow from other musicians.
Yeah, I know what you mean. At first it seems like his arrangements and music weren't super unique (outside of just being really amazing), but for some reason or another there really aren't any other musicians out there that sound like him.
I'll keep looking.
Thanks for the talk, Anon. It's great that someone else loves him as much as I do.

>>64248904
>>64249267
you guys should try out songs: ohia or sparklehorse. songs: ohia is a bit faster-paced than elliott and is generally more of a full band but there's definitely similarities. sparklehorse is a bit more experimental but once again, still similar.
and for a bonus, both artists also killed themselves!
