One of my favourite covers of a Brooke Benton song

John Bonham - In My Time Of Dying on the Physical Graffiti album, although he doesn't get started for the first few minutes, the drumming is magnificently powerful.

I consider myself lucky to be at Knebworth in August 1979 for Zep's final UK concert

His lad ain't bad either

I've had a pint, or three, with John Bonham.

Great album esp' the brilliantly evocative Kashmir which is my all time favourite track.

In My Time Of Dying is very emotional and as someone who does not want a funeral when my time is up I love these words;

In my time of dying, I want nobody to mourn
All I want for you to do is take my body home
Well, well, well, so I can die easy
Well, well, well, so I can die easy

Layne Stayley - The greatest Metal/Grunge vocalist. the emotion in his voice was incredible.

Dimebag Darrell - The brilliantly talented and funny guitarist from Pantera and Damage Plan. I watched him play in 2004 at the Download festival, later that year he was murdered on stage by an ex marine in Ohio.

The Big Muff - May not be considered a rocker but he would probably have drunk all of the previously mentioned under the table.

Jerry - as in short for Jerome - Garcia.

I see he was only in his mid-50s when he died.

Thought he went on for longer than that - a bit like his guitar solos, which may not have been quite as long as they seemed at the time.

There is the old joke about the Dead-Head who ran out of drugs, and his subsequent comment.
Not that I subscribe to that point of view.

Anyone mentioned Lou Reed yet?

I agree that Freddie Mercury was the consummate rock-star. Shame about the music though.

Too good to leave out

I was lucky enough to see Steve Marriot in a gig in Leeds in the 80's.
