Aaah, cum ooon, nobody's perfect. Even your guitar/bass hero. Then what do you think they did so stupid ? What album ? Which song ? Which solo's ? What sound ? Why ?
 
eddie v h singin

i know where he was at in his head but,the singig and just th whole political bent of vhIII WAS NOT IT FOR ME .....looking for somthing from him to show his lfe isn't in total shambles
 
The stupidist thing Pete Townsend did- switch from an SG to a Strat 'cause he was pissed off at Gibson. Stupidist thing Jorma Kaukonen did- form the punk band "White Gland" and get an orange Mohawk. (boy did they suck...) Stupidist thing Jerry Garcia did- smoke two packs of Lucky Strikes a day for 40 years. Stupidist thing Jimi Hendrix did- mainline assorted drugs.-Richie
 
Jimmy Page - Stupidest thing he did was get arrested for smoking a cigarette on an airplane. IMHO, he hasn't done anything musically stupid (I'm sure someone's gonna disagree to that, particularly Plant for the Coverdale stint). Wait. Shit. I take that back: he allowed "In The Evening" to be on the otherwise perfect "In Through The Outdoor". Before that was "Hats Off to Roy Harper".. And if he had anything to do with the horrid "Song Remains the Same" movie debacle.. There, that's it. Any other anomolies in the Zep catalogue are really just things that didn't make the timeless category..

Tony Iommi - Cutting the Seventh Star album under the moniker "Black Sabbath Featuring Tony Iommi". Tony was the only original member of the band at the time.

Randy Rhoads - Not really a favorite of mine and that's his fault for somehow allowing a buffoon to ruin his sound in the studio.

Kirk Hammet - the wah pedal

James Hetfield - don't even get me started.

George Harrison - Marrying Patty, the catalyst for "Layla", THE most torturous, agonizing warhorse in the history of rock (right up there with the Whitney Houston "I will always love you" cover in pop)

Paul McCartney - seeping his schmaltz goo all over the Beatle albums. Most often not a bad thing (e.g. "Abbey Road") but once in awhile so gelatinous that it steps on the toes of Lennon's work (e.g. Sgt. Pepper).

Jimi Hendrix - "And the Gods Made Love"

Alex Lifeson - Apparently getting castrated after the first Rush album.

Dave Mustaine - whatever he did to his arm, either overkilling the technique or improper technique.

Vivian Campbell - Leaving Dio to play with the Leppard girls.

Steve Vai - releasing or taking part in anything other than "Tobacco Road", "Damn Good", or "The Audience is Listening".

I thought Dave Mustaine injured his arm in a car accident...
 
Did he?

I didn't know that. All I read was that doc's told him he had to stop playing because of his elbow. Because the accident was never mentioned I just assumed it was his playing.

If that's the case then I strike him from the list.
 
Marrying Shania Twain.


Thats the dumbest thing my hero has ever done... Ever Since then he's been producing Backstreet Boys, Brittany Spears, The Corrs, Celine Dion....etc, Etc.....


What Ever Happened to the Mutt who did Back in Black and Hysteria?...:(
 
Page: Puff Daddy's cover of Kashmir for the GODZILLA Movie!!!!!! I still cannot believe that was allowed, and then on top of it being allowed, Page played with him on SNL.
"Im gonna bite ya! Im gonna f**king bite ya!! Come with me!" :eek: what beautiful lyrics.
I was working a camelot music at the time that came out and people kept coming up to me asking what the new Puff Daddy song was called....
 
Clapton -- stopped playing great and began sucking lo these many years ago.
 
Jim Morrison: Screwed up his voice smoking a bazillion packs a day. Oh, and drinking himself to death. That's stupid too.
 
maybe it's just me, but despite musical taste issues, i find it difficult to assert that marrying shania twain is in any way a bad thing :D

worst thing heroes have done? generally, dying. ODing, blowing their brains out, dying in bus/plane crashes-agreed on jimmy apge and kashmir. i don't agree about any flaws in LZ 3-i think it's beautiful, if not representing an enlightened viewpoint there at the end. agreed on in the out door (what a progressive album through most of it!) and song remains the same (they should have just funded monty python to do a movie on them, wince they half-funded holy grail anyway)

cyrokk, yeah, on the megadeth official site, they don't say shit about a car accident, at least as relating to his elbow. i hope he recovers-watching megadeth play is really impressive-chromatic solos always blow me away if executed properly-and goddamn, have you seen them on the last couple of tours? all the string players (even dave, a recovering alcoholic) look like kids-i want whatever they're taking to keep that youthful appearance.

...I guess it was about Guitar / Bass heroes. It develops. That's cool. Right on fella's. Keep goin'.


Freddy M of Queen was fag. That's stupid.
 
I watched Zakk wylde slip and miss his stop box a few times playing with Ozzy last year.

any 20 minute drum solo -- stupid.
 
the van halen bros.- first for scrapping roth and ruining the coolest heavy rock party band & then for finally working themselves into the 'where are they now?' file.
