Any famous musicions that SHOULD be buried with their instruments?

Just wondering?

Can I shoot Kenny G's saxophone, run over it with my 4WD Dodge (with the Hemi!), melt it down in my forge, and bury the scrap in a top-secret location? I'd gladly take the task on as a service to all of humanity!

JimiBryant · January 17th, 2008, 09:11 AM

Don Henley, pick any instrument and let's stick 'em both inna ground TODAY!

hate is such a negative word, but I STRONGLY DISLIKE everything about the guy, so there ya go.

I thought about it, but I figured it was way too easy to go there.. and besides, I personally don't find the kid all THAT offensive.. I don't pay attention to his music and that's good enough for me.

Malmsteen, on the other hand, has always been a wanker and I can't forgive him for boogering vintage Strats by scalloping their necks!!

he's still living in the 1980s and that's just unforgivable - Malmsteen's an embarrassment to all the rest of us Swedes.

again with the Mojo Nixon, but Don Henley must die!

I would volunteer to bury Yngwie Malmsteen with his guitar, regardless of whether he's dead or not

bendecaster · January 18th, 2008, 04:03 AM

+1 for Yngwie!!!! But first pull down his leather pants, and ram the oversized CBS headstock where it would do the most good!

How about burying Les Paul with a Tele?

bendecaster! don't ya be messin' with Mr Lester Polfus, he's a national treasure
and without his GENIUS you wouldn't even be listening to the music you listen to, regardless of whatever style it is.

Les Paul not only pioneered the electric guitar, he literally invented multitrack recording in his living room!!

I'm pretty sure you were trying to make a joke, but that **** ain't funny.

the man is in his 90s and he still plays a weekly gig in NYC - I hope he lives forever.

I'd be totally down with yr idea for Yngwie, though!

imho.

Andy Summers · January 18th, 2008, 09:50 AM

Im probably going to take a beating for this...but Santana. For some reason, I cant stand his sound. I don't even know why, so I can't even defend myself..It just bugs me...and sorry..John Mayer too.

Flat357 · January 18th, 2008, 10:00 AM

I guess some of you guys must be incredibly gifted musicians .

Feel free to post links to your music next to your recomendations .

'twas a Les Paul.

Do singers count? They kinda have their instruments built in...
If they do, i'd say the singer of the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. Just plain sucks...

superchicken_VI · January 18th, 2008, 10:23 AM

In the right context, I enjoy Yngwie and Kenny G. Have any of you heard Kenny G play anything other than soprano? The guy has great chops.

Now, if I were going to play this game in my normal fashion, I would say bury anyone who considers a turntable or a sequencer an instrument and we'd be a long way towards the right direction.
