The R.I.P. Thread

Buddy Rich apparently was not as revered by the jazz fraternity as you'd think, his clamour for exposure and fame did not sit well with his peers.

Kudos on the Steve Marriot recognition though


ps. Ginger Baker was a narcissistic twat, loved Cream hated him

Loved Buddy Rich but there's a story about him in the Debbie Harry book which is a bit disturbing (although she tells it as a lark)

Anyway id have Sandy Denny on vocals with GG Allin backing her up.

 

[The Bear]

Vocals Joplin, Morrison, Winehouse
Lead Guitar Edwards, Hendrix, Cobain
Keyboards/Piano Jones
Then we'll have a big fuck off party for their 28th

Edwards?

 

[Tony Towner]

Richey

 

[Pablowolf]

Assuming he is actually dead.

 

[Papper]

Is Limahl still alive ? He'd be the dogs with Moon, Manzarek and Hendrix. No bass ... they would hopefully cover Down to Earth by Curiosity Killed the Cat.

 

[Paul]

Do you eat a lot of cheese before you take a nap ? Limahl , Manzarek !!

Okay. Guess you may have a point.

Limahl, Liberace, Moon and Hendrix.

Was thinking more a ' bass ' keyboard than honky tonk or boogy woogy but I am sure Moon would keep up.

Anyway Limahl is still active so it's hypothetical.

A mere technicality

 

[Papper]

A mere technicality

I have therefore replaced Limahl with Brian Connolly of the Sweet who is definately and technically inactive.

 

[Paul]

Indubitably

 

[Tony Towner]

Caroline Flack. Tragic.

 

[Paul]

So so sad !

 

[The Bear]

The media hounding of celebrities who make mistakes has to stop. The tabloids have already gone through their sites and deleted the web-pages of all the stories about her from recent weeks, whilst at the same time putting out a story about how tragic it is. Utter cunts.

Utter scumbag shithousery from the tabloid media, no one especially celebrities are allowed 1 mistake in life. Everyone has to live a perfect life in a world where you virtually can’t hide away anymore.
Any suicide is tragic and utterly devastating but the tobloids have not only destroyed one life they’ve left a huge hole in much more.
Society take a long hard look at yourself, get rid of the blame and culture of outrage at the slightest thing.

Are male celebrities treated differently? Taking ant out of ant and Dec and his drink driving,he was hammered,crashed his car,could have killed some pedestrians,couple of months off work,then business as usual,Caroline flack assaults her boyfriend(for whatever reasons) and the media hounds her to an early death

Depends on how your face fits with the media, certain celebs will get away with more depending on who they are.

Her management firm now blaming the CPS for going ahead with her case. Sorry but hindsight is great unfortunately the case is DV related so it can’t just be swept under the carpet. Even if the complainant no longer wishes to press charges, CPS would be absolutely slaughtered if they were found to be not pursuing DV cases regardless of the circumstances.
No surprise tabloids have jumped on this immediately to try and deflect any responsibility.

Absolutely. Not sure why the boyfriend called the police (when he didnt want to press charges). No wonder she was upset. What an awful unnecessary waste of a life.

Presumably cos she was trying to cave his head in.

I had no idea who this lady was until she died, so I can't comment on her as a person, but sometimes it's necessary to call the police in order to calm or control a situation, not because you want someone to end up in court. Since the bf remains sympathetic, my guess would be that she was more in need of sectioning than prosecuting.
