Some of those are Kurt Cobain of Nirvana, Jim Morrison of The Doors and Amy Winehouse among the rest. Seems kinda creepy if you think about it, especially about rumors of some of them having a white Bic lighter with them near their bodies...- creepy indeed.Sync Valentinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11212126704821664364noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2391494266604710731.post-68905431380280958532010-09-02T09:56:00.000-07:002010-09-02T22:34:08.223-07:00Rockstars that had a premature death<strong>These are lists of rockstars that died early or before their time.

It has its roots from Rock and Roll, Blues and Country Music with a little bit of classic and jazz mix. It revolves around the tunes of the electric guitar with the a steady rhythm of the bass guitar and drums and sometimes with the piano or a keyboard. Some 10 years into the birth of rock it developed into sub-genres like Foll-rock, Blues-rock, heavy metal, hard rock, and punk rock. Later on other sub-genres like Alternative-rock, new wave, grunge and nu metal which is usually composed of a quartet, sometimes a trio or even a duet, others even include a second guitarist or a keyboardist to form the classic 5 set-up.<br />In the modern era, sub-genres like rasta-core, electronic-rock and metal core began popping as a result of other genres mixed with rock.<br /><br />Example of bands in different sub-genres of rock:<br /><br />Elvis Presly - <strong>Rock and Roll</strong><br /><br />Badfinger - <strong>Pop-rock</strong><br /><br />The Ramones - <strong>Punk-rock</strong><br /><br />R.E.M. - <strong>Alternative-rock</strong><br /><br />Black Sabbath - <strong>Heavy Metal<br /></strong><br />Soundgarden - <strong>NU Metal<br /></strong><br />Eric Clapton - <strong>Blues rock<br /></strong><br />Jimi Hendrix - <strong>Psychedelic rock<br /></strong><br />Iron Maiden - <strong>New Wave<br /></strong><br />Nirvana - <strong>Grunge </strong><br /><br />Green Day - <strong>Pop-punk<br /></strong><br />Jimmy Eat World - <strong>Emo<br /></strong>Sync Valentinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11212126704821664364noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2391494266604710731.post-91790783837623669712010-08-31T22:20:00.000-07:002010-09-01T10:05:52.746-07:00My top 5 bands of the 90's<span style="font-size:180%;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tool_band">5.

Sadly their reign ended with the death of Kurt Cobain on April 5th, 1994 who committed suicide on his Lake Washington home. Cobain's artistic endeavors and struggles with heroin addiction, illness and depression, as well as the circumstances of his death have become a frequent topic of fascination, debate, and controversy throughout the world.<br /><br />He was ranked by Rolling Stone as the 12th greatest guitarist and 45th greatest singer of all time, and by MTV as 7th in the "22 Greatest Voices in Music". In 2006, he was placed at number twenty by Hit Parader on their list of the "100 Greatest Metal Singers of All Time".Sync Valentinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11212126704821664364noreply@blogger.com0
