Dead ppl that you wish you could bring back to life
 
...other than your loved ones or your pets...

off the top of my head...Elliot Smith, Warren Zevon, I wish you were not dead.

Dead-Air 04.03.2008 09:54 PM

Jesus Christ, because I think this would be the surest way to rid the world of so many idiotic Christians.

atsonicpark 04.03.2008 10:09 PM

none.

Death has to be better than this shithole of an existence, why would I deprive good people of the luxury of death?

StevOK 04.03.2008 10:11 PM

Wes Berggren.
John Lennon.
Kurt Cobain.

artsygrrl 04.03.2008 10:12 PM

good point, atsonicpark. But what if where you go is worse than where you've been?

Everyneurotic 04.03.2008 10:13 PM

everybody! join the party!

pbradley 04.03.2008 10:15 PM

A bunch of ancient philosophers.

Just to watch them die again from shock.

jeezus man you life must suck balls. so why haven't you committed suicide? im not tauniting you, just aSking for an explanation, if you don't mind.






anyway, i'd bring nobody "back to life" but that's not the reason. just cos it would be, you know, creepy to deal with reanimated corpses.

uhler 04.03.2008 11:07 PM

i like being alive. even in the depressing times that i'm going through right now, i would rather be alive and well than dead. death doesn't seem too fun to me.

plus, there's no sonic youth messageboard in death (or is there). how else can one have fun in death if there's not this messageboard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

woody allen?

pbradley 04.03.2008 11:17 PM

I love motion too much to greet death.

The hips moving of a beautiful woman, the passing of a bus during the breaking of morning, calling up a friend that I haven't seen for a long time and making plans to hang out, making myself lunch and enjoying the shit out of it...

Perhaps I haven't lived a full life to the extent where I would want nothing. Perhaps my flesh is too young. However not everyone who has ever died had died when it was called for. The young deaths, they deserved more of it.

woody allen was supposed to be a joke.

anyhoo, that guy's name is "night"...night, if it's a stage name, then why? because it's "mysterious"?

if it's his real name, then his parents must have been hippies.

pbradley 04.03.2008 11:27 PM

his full name is Manoj Nelliattu Shyamalan

Everyneurotic 04.03.2008 11:30 PM

ahh nelliattu = night or approximate.

it's still cheesy.

!@#$%! 04.03.2008 11:32 PM

ha ha

no this movie is about hm some kid who gets killed and "he has to solve the mystery of his own death so he can live again"

(same type of unimaginative crap)

woody allen sounded plausible, ha ha ha--- doesnt he bring back a ghost in "scoop"?

uhler 04.03.2008 11:35 PM

i would bring steven seagal's dead movie career back to life.

✌➬ 04.04.2008 12:54 AM

Britney Spears?
Richard Nixon
Ronald Reagan
George Bush
Strom Thurmond

Just to see a little pain into the world.

Sonic Youth 37 04.04.2008 12:55 AM

Other than family...

Steve McQueen

RIP King of Cool.

LifeDistortion 04.04.2008 01:12 AM

Bringing celebrities back to life, even ones who were not killed by thier own devices like Lennon or Marvin Gaye is kind of ridiculous. Sure they may make more music, or simply get to know thier kids, but I have no personal connection with them.

ZEROpumpkins 04.04.2008 01:36 AM

Heath Ledger and Elliott Smith. Two people cut down in their prime. I would include Kurt Cobain but I'm relatively sure he wanted to die (screw conspiracies).

fugazifan 04.04.2008 02:59 AM

d. boon

MellySingsDoom 04.04.2008 03:20 AM

I would bring back Albert Ayler, John Coltrane, Jimi Hendrix, Sonny Sharrock, Akira Kurosawa, Michaelangelo Antonioni - and on the Brit side, Leonard Rossiter, Ronnie Barker, and um, John/Jhonn Balance.

ZEROpumpkins 04.04.2008 03:27 AM

Oh yeah, D Boon. And Cliff Burton, so that Metallica can rock once more.

I think Cliff would just throw up if he came back to life and saw what Metallica became after he died. I don't think he'd work with them. Which is not to say if he'd lived he might not have degraded along with them, but he Cliff that died in the '80s wouldn't even recognize Hetfield and Ulrich today.

That said, yeah, Cliff and D. Boon and also John Lennon all seem like good choices since they died with cred in tact and from things that amounted to robbery of their lives.

You have to wonder though, if Lennon had lived would he have agreed to a dismal Beatles reunion at some point, doing a tour that featured weak "Real Love" type new songs plus "Imagine" and "Band on the Run" perhaps with some lame alternarock sidemen from Radiohead or Oasis helping carry them through the old songs?

Death & the Maiden 04.04.2008 05:31 AM

Syd Barrett of the sixties and early seventies, but not Roger Barrett, who recently died.

jon boy 04.04.2008 06:02 AM

probably someone whose life was cut short tragically instead of someone who died of old age.

Cantankerous 04.04.2008 06:04 AM

no one
if youre dead, stay dead

ALIEN ANAL 04.04.2008 06:05 AM

the first human being

oh and hitler
me and hitler would go kill some crap people that we dont enjoy because we like to be shocking and immature
then we would recreate the holocaust but using kittens instead of humans
and then the twin towers all over again ARE YOU SHOCKED YET!!??

jon boy 04.04.2008 06:05 AM

maybe nostradamus.

Cantankerous 04.04.2008 06:17 AM

nostradamus was an interesting cat
however i don't think he would be of any use

maybe kurt cobain, so he can come back and tell us that he hated us all and thus decided to kill himself, so all the conspiracy theorists will shut the fuck up because i'm sick of hearing 13 or whatever it is years of their shit.

_slavo_ 04.04.2008 06:18 AM

I will sound pretentious, but
Ian Curtis

It would be nice to see what kind of music would he be making as of now.

Probably crap like New Order are playing now. Better for him to stay in the coffin.

Korla Pandit
Joe Meek

Towards the end of Joy Division's career, they were using keyboards and synthesizers, and I read that if he had stayed alive, JD would have followed a similar path to that of New Order.
