Do you think we should tell Keith Richards his time has come....and gone?

 

They should do a survey on rappers. And since when is Eminem rock?

 

No ****! Everytime I hear a rapper saying they're a rockstar it's like a slap in the face to actual rock... It really pisses me off...

But as for the rockstars dying early... That's a small price to pay IMO.. I would willingly agree to going out way before my time for just 5 years of that lifestyle.. I really don't want to get old anyway, so I'm kinda biased.

But for the fans... I hate it when a Rock Icon dies before they stop making music.. Like Dimebag Darrell, Randy Rhoads, Cliff Burton, and others..

 

You've got that right.

I was a huge Thin Lizzy fan (still am) and when they announced on the radio that Phil had died it was like someone had kicked me in the face....my idol was gone.
