Poll: Living or Dead?

[Death.Child]

I don't think so.
Theyr great,yes,but they are only talented.

 

[Kattana]

yeah people do like bands more when people die, for example if (during FTR days) alexi laiho died everyone would start buying CoB CD's and stuff

 

[CliffBurton]

But...they buy CoB CDs now anyway...

 

[Foxy_Lady]

A good musician is a dead musician... =)))

 

[metalhead_666]

when someone dies out of sympathy we call em great. but they had to be good to begin with obviously

dime was great even when alive. but when he died his work got more attension. and was taken more seriously

 

[vikk]

He didn't even think of him until Vikk said so, he probably thought he was being serious.

listen to the swedish!



they got hot blond chicks

 

[devil's lil girl]

yeah Come as You Are such a technical riff man.

i think they are great to begin with, but once they are dead their greatness is GLORIFIED. (of course, there are exceptions to the rule.....please see quoted comment )

Jerry Lee Lewis pwns your n00bs soul

[Conti]

yea I think they become very ovverratted and glorified. Kind of like this kid at my school. He was a normal kid, nothing special. He died at a wrestling match year and he was completely blown up. The principal was always talking about how amazing of a person he was. Yea he was cool and nice most of the time but he wasnt this superman. If I died I would want to be remembered as who I am not some faulty.

 

[Turbo]

This is fanboy to the max.

 

[The Emptier]

dead

 

[KillerGon]

i would have voted "fuck yeah"

There was also alot of poseurs who knew nothing about Pantera, and then a week after he died "OMG RIPDIME METAL YEAH!"

 

[The Emptier]

yeah lol


but Dime was fucking amazing alive or dead

 

[bleeding_me]

i'll admit, i unfortunately didn't discover Dime's work until after his death, but i'm not some poser fanboy. i have all his official stuff, Pantera, Damageplan, and Rebel Meets Rebel. believe it or not, there are legitimate fans who just learned who he was i little too late.

 

[CliffBurton]

I didn't like Damageplan at all .

 

[bleeding_me]

there's an entire album's worth of Dime riffs that was never finished. it was gonna be Damageplan's second album.

 

[Söy]

man FUCK these guys

what about shit like Beethoven, Mozart, et. al.

totally under appreciated in their time
