If you could bring back to life any Singer/Musician who died before their time who would it be?

[Henry Jimdrix]

My first though, “what if the musician doesn’t want to be brought back.”

it would be tough shit I guess.

[Henry Jimdrix]

Avihen Livne a.k.a Cosma.

Can't say I'm Familiar with this person, What did they do? and why have you chosen them?

It's one person, most people think if he didn't died so soon he would make even bigger masterpieces, he was considered one of the most gifted and influential artist's in that scene, so yeah, curious what he would actually do if he had a chance, others pretty much ruined whole scene. There was interview with him done 2 months before he died (that was published after his death, it was interview to promote his next album, unreleased at that time) even back than he wasn't happy about scene and some people in it.

Jesus Christ. Just to hear if he could sing.

He can, he has the voice of an angel.

Has to be Hendrix doesn't it..

Though I would put a good word in for Ian Curtis and Jeff Buckley

Freddie.. Not sure about that, I get the idea, it would be great to have him around - but I don't think anyone could say he still had his best years ahead of him. Same sort of applies to Kurt too.

Kurt

cobain? his mom said he was obsessed about joining the 27 club.
if you bring him back from the dead he might say:
"sonofabitch i'll have to kill myself again before i turn 28"

Hm ... he was great! I'm missing him! But if he wants to stay dead:

Another one is Freddie!

[thecontrolcentre]

John Lennon
George Harrison
Jimi Hendrix

[cryophonik]

Jaco Pastorius

I'd necro the $*** out of that dude just to get a chance to see him play live

[e@rs]

Beastie Boys' MCA.

[ravasb]

John Coltrane

[resynthesis]

Luigi Nono (not exactly young when he died but...)

So basically he died of old age.

No, he'd been ill for a while, 66 isn't _that_ old. His family didn't give an official cause of death, read into that what you will.

what happens if other dead souls hear that we're only bringing dead musicians back?
Could cause problems, I'd imagine.

Some dead plumbers, or dead carpet salesmen, Viking Warriors, etc. or something would probably form some type of rebellion against you...and demand full revival like the musicians. There would be dead people begging/demanding you 24/7 to come back.

this thing could be a huge amount of work and hassle, actually...

[Passing Bye]

Yeah, let’s not do it guys, bad idea

[Scrubbing Monkeys]

Prince

[Passing Bye]

Imagine Beethoven today, fist pumping with Armin van Buuren, “Are you ready Miami”

[Bodhisan]

Buddy Holly - first name came to mind, without a doubt.
