Research[edit]

  • two Pretenders: James Honeyman Scott (?) and the bassist 25 and 30.
  • Does Stu Sutcliff count? Wasn't really much of a musician, but played in a famous band for a bit. added (21)
  • half the Ramones, surely under 50 done (49 and 50)
  • The guy who inspired this article (by dying...), Alex Chilton... was he over fifty though? 59, not necessarily too "young" for the heart attack.

Though there's only one original surviving Ramone so I don't think they should be included at all in the "still kickin" section. Scarlet A.pngmoral 00:21, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
OK, sure. ħumanUser talk:Human 00:39, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Isn't there a "special club" for Grateful Dead keyboardists? ħumanUser talk:Human 00:40, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Pigpen kicked at 27... ħumanUser talk:Human 00:45, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Should we sort "Can nothing kill them?" by birth year? ħumanUser talk:Human 01:34, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Hard to do - most of them pre-date the national registry of births, marriages and deaths. Totnesmartin (talk) 15:20, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
Hahaha. Shall we establish a lower cutoff for the "will nothing kill them" section? At least 60? 70? ħumanUser talk:Human 22:09, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
Yeah (make it 60), and remove the clean living types too - it's supposed to be about people who survived the worst that they could throw at themselves, or it loses the humeur and becomes a random list of old people. Totnesmartin (talk) 22:46, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
How about 65? Born 1945 or earlier (as of now)? And agreed, if they weren't known for abusing their bloodstream, there's no pojnt. Is Dean martin still alive? ħumanUser talk:Human 03:19, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
I'll agree to 60 (1950), since it would be a shame to leave out Ozzy and Alice. ħumanUser talk:Human 03:30, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

The less-known names[edit]

Should we stick the band name in parens at the end of listings for those who have no idea who we are talking about - ie, James honeypot Scott (The Pretenders - guitar)? ħumanUser talk:Human 03:35, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Good idea - or style of music for soloists. Totnesmartin (talk) 13:29, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
