Mark Linkous

>>53430448Van Morrison is still alive
>>53430372;-;
Elliot Smith. And no, you don't die from a stab wound immediately; it takes a while to bleed out.
>>53430476Agreed
>>53430462Elias didn't kill himself...
>>53430476>And no, you don't die from a stab wound immediatelyUm, yeah you do. It perforated his heart.
>>53430573op didn't say i had to go back in time

>>53430372Not exactly suicide, but I'd save Layne Staley from his downhill heroin spiral.
>>53430419But then By The Throat would make him look like a hypocrite. He'd probably just kill himself again anyway.
>>53430582Dying isn't instant though. IIRC, a doctor who was sentenced to a beheading during the French Revolution proved that the brain doesn't die immediately after being cut off (he told his assistant or whoever that he would blink a few times to prove that he had control over his eye lids).My point is that the body takes quite a while to shut down and he could have easily stabbed himself once more before dying.
>>53430665I thought you were implying his girlfriend killed him and he would've had time to get up and call 911.
>>53430655: - (
Is there a list of musicians who committed suicide because I can't think of any besides Kurt.
>>53430716I'm just saying don't waste your reanimation on a tarhead. His philosophy agreed with suicide anyway. Dude had no regrets. Smile little buddy.
>>53430798: - ) >>53430794http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Musicians_who_committed_suicide
>>53430680Oh no, I think he killed himself. Maybe he realized that one stab wasn't fast enough?
>>53430794Ian CurtisNick DrakeVic ChesnuttMark Linkous (Sparklehorse) - He would be my pick by the wayPhil Ochs
I'd kill Dave Roland at the carnival
>>53430832>Maybe he realized that one stab wasn't fast enough?I don't think it was slow and deliberate. I think he did it at the heat of the moment. Just two quick stabs.
>>53430599True
>>53430372>going back to save an artist>not going back and saving Anne Frank and bringing her to Jeff Mangum
Ian Curtis, but only because I hate New Order
>>53430619Man I would listen to them if they had stuff on the internet
Luciano Cilio . Still have no info on why or how he did it.
>>53430821I had no idea Albert Ayler committed suicide. Holy fuck.
>>53430821>: - )woah, when was the last time lewis posted that?
Frank Zappa
>>53431171lol prob a long time ago. gotta try to keep some traditions, no matter how stupid, hue
Jay Reatard, mostly because he was hella young.
>>53430851Vic Chesnutt's life must've been shit though, i dont think it would be right to save him
I feel like I'd be able to have a good conversation with Ian Curtis, but I'm not sure he really wanted to be saved.
>>53431254he survived the 27 club, what else do you want?
I WISH I COULD SAVE HER IN SOME SORT OF TIME MACHINE
>>53431254he didn't commit suicide, was an od
>>53430372Hitler
>>53430821audrey hepburn is so hot
>>53430372None, because if they hadn't have died they wouldn't have left such an impact on the world. I think they would all approve of it if they could see what their deaths did to the world. It's like the holocaust, I really don't like it but I understand that it was needed. So that way we could learn from it.
>>53431070Was about to say that i'd stop him from doing it
this is a real ' le wrong generation' answer but Hendrix. Such an influential artist plus I really wish of heard the album he had planned with Davis
>>53430372GG Allin so he could do it himself on stage
Anne Frank
Time Machine Modulus
>>53430372Kevin Gilbert :(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNO_AGQcxhg
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Baptiste_LullyNot exactly suicide but he refused treatment to spite the king, so I would have stopped him from even hitting his foot.>>53433949Very skilled performer
>>53435075I wouldnt doubt he had no intention on doing it, it just brought people to his shows.
Hide from x Japan
>>53432469Yeah you're right, you couldn't stop the Holocaust, because you can't stop something that never happened.
Timmy Buckley from OD so I could tell him buy Jeff his steel capped boots a few years earlier,
>>53431192If it wasn't his prostate, it would have been his lungs. Damn it, Zappa.
