Yes, and he died in water, the exact same day than Brian Jones.

More chance of accidental drowning in a swiming pool than a bath don't you think?

yea and then he says "o yeah"

Yes...
and (funny?) he's probably died of it, although he was not addict to it.

It has to be Lennon. He was such an influential guy, I only wonder where music would be now if he wasn't killed 24 years ago.

Moreover, in their last Doors album, "LA Woman", in the song "hyacinth house", Morrisson has something like the premonition of his own death, when he says:"i see the bathroom is clear, i'm sure than someone is following me"

Oliver old chap.

You been watching that farcicle Doors movie by Oliver stone havent you?

Jimbo was obsessed with death!

& last Doors album indeed.Last with Jim as a front man yeh but ''Other voices'' & ''Full circle'' were released...Ray manzeracks voice is so convincing on these albums...

Don't forget the Jim Morisson album 'An american prayer'' music by the dorrs not released till November '78.Well worth a listern i'll tell you.

Just ever forget Jim sang with the Doors..Even forget the sound of him singing & just listern to ''Other voices''

Well that explains why they got Val Kilmer to play Jim Morrison, then.

Danbo wrote: Stevie Ray Vaughan, who had just cleaned up his act, released a killer Blues-Rock album, "In Step," and completed another album with his brother Jimmy, "Family Style," and then died because of some nit-wit 'copter pilot

He was playing a gig with Clapton that day, and if you believe the (probably apocryphal) stories, he was in a hurry, and swopped places with Clapton, who took a later flight.

From the list, though, it'd have to be:

Uncle Frank - guitarist, satirist, composer. He left us so much, yet left so much still un-done.

George Harrison - In my opinion, the true genius in The Beatles; a gentleman and a gentle man, a giant of a songwriter, and a vastly under-rated guitarist, too.

Stevie Ray Vaughan - The man had his demons, yet defeated them (to an extent, anyway), all the time creating, and re-inventing classic guitar based blues. He'll be remembered as one of the greats, but had he lived.... the great??

Finally - no mention yet of a man who polarised opinion on his death, but one of my favorite British dead guys - the irreplaceable John Peel; RIP Peely!
