    The Rolling Stones would have followed a different path, I feel, if he'd been around through the seventies and eighties, keeping the music much closer to their blues roots.

    Jones was already out of the band when he died. But yeah, he was a major component of The Stones that some don't seem to realise.

    Personally, I would love to have seen how Bon Scott would've evolved with AC/DC.

    But I think the one who had the most to offer would've been Randy Rhoades. I understand before he suddenly died that he wanted to study classical guitar, then apply that to rock.

        John Lennon -Could have used him this decade

        Jimi Hendrix - Just imagine where he could have gone with his music. Ditto for Randy Rhoads and possibly even Brian Jones, if he had gone sober

        Bon Scott - Every Ac/Dc album with Bon was a little different. Every album with Brian Johnson is basically the same. Who knows where they might have gone with Bon.

        Joe Strummer - I was really believing a Clash tour was imminent, because they were already up for the Hall of Fame, and then Joe just drops dead two days before Christmas. What a bummer.

            I don't. Always thought Keith Moon was much better. Bonzo's drums always sound too similar on each track to me. Maybe it's just me being awkward.

                    Lennon...just for the chance for either...

                    a reunion...

                    or to see him in concert...

                    Janis and Jimi...

                    and the Lizard King...of course...would top my list...

                    The Blues Album he had talked about so much...

                    I do think if he would have found himself in Paris...which is what he wanted to do...he would have made it back...

                    and what an album would have come out of that...something fucking dark...

                    He just wanted to be Jim in Paris...but unfortunately...Pam...and everyone else that wanted a piece of Morrison...wouldn't let him...

                            If you were gonna do this, it would have to be John Bonham,

                            a Led Zepp reunion trumps them all I think

                                    Bon Scott, even though I know I wouldn't be listening to AC/DC now if he hadn't died. If AC/DC hadn't released the Back In Black album with Brian Johnson they would have been forgotten by now..

                                    Also Freddie Mercury, Bonzo and Brian Jones died too soon.

                                    and Grant, Brian Jones wasn't out of stones when he died!

                                        I think Bon is a good call, not too sure about Freddie Mercury though, never liked Queen

                                        too much pantomime,

                                        which is probably a rich comment from someone who started a Kiss thread!

                                                Brian Jones wasn't 28 yet, Bonham was 32 and Mercury was... 45! He at least was able to have a whole carreer.

                                                Brian Jones had been fired from "his" Stones for a few weeks when he got drowned in his pool. Jagger and Richards had decided that they couldn't carry on with him as they planned to come back on tour in the second half of 69. Keith talks about that in the video (unfortunately unavailable currently) 25x5 - The continuing adventures of the Rolling Stones.
