He had a tortured life, and was close with Cornell. My guess is straight suicide.

Went to the Eddie Money concert at the CA State Fair last night, and after seeing him I think I will put his name as my guess for 'next'.
He's looked like that for years! [emoji12]Quote:

June Foray, 99, two months shy of 100. You may think you don't know her. You're wrong:

308 voice acting credits, still doing work up until a few years ago. A true legend in the industry.

wow I have never heard of her... but looking at the IMDB I certainly have heard her.
I had no clue granny from Tweety and Ma Beagle were the same VO talent.
I saw him at CalExpo in I think it was '81, opening for Heart. Heart blew him off the stage, there was nothing left of him but a pair of shoes filled with ashes.Quote:

They sure did:

EDIT: part of why he teared up is the drummer. That's Jason Bonham, John Bonham's son.

I've always despised that song, and mostly large portions of Led Zeppelin, really (I blame over-saturation when I was learning rock guitar in the early 90's and that was all anyone ever played in Schmidt Music stores, you could have two people playing it out of sync at the same time while trying to test out a pre-amp).Quote:

Easy winner.
Barracuda.
OMG and I forgot about this model of light body ovation guitar.

It's sad that I'm getting more excited about the music than the gorgeous ladies playing any of it.
But seriously, I've played a black and green lacquered version of that before (same age) and you could get harmonics off of those cut-holes that would make early Ani DiFranco jealous with modern day pickups.
It reminds me of the sound of 20 years later with this, for the guitar intro, before the man on the electric in the white satin vest kicks in:

This should probably be separated into the music thread, sorry, long night.
If you think their Stairway is good, you should listen to their fantastic Battle of Evermore:Quote:

Wow, that is fucking incredible, can't believe I never heard this one before. As good as a vocalist Ann Wilson is I think Nancy is very underrated, she sounds great on this. And that almost rivals Led Zeppelin for how good it is. Thanks for posting that. (And sorry to continue the derail).
Wow. Pretty fucking good!Quote:
