OT: Dead hard rockers week

[Stake Removed]

Died at 61 that is a long life for pro wrestlers. A lot of the roided f**ked ones drop dead in the late 40's, mid 50's from heart related problems.

Thank God that Mr Mack-Mannn got his investigators in to make sure that the WWE was and is now a steroid free sport. They must be he guys that now work for the crack NRL investigative Squad.

I remember the epiosde when King Kong Bundy was in Married with Children

Old "I'm Spartacus" Kirk Douglas is still hanging in there ,so all's not lost.

His son Michael suffered from sex addiction,wish it was contagious.

Hal Blaine. As a drummer he played on more hit songs than anyone I can think of.

I first discovered Dick Dale watching the movie Beach Party (with Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon) one rainy Saturday afternoon in the late 70s. It was cool of Quentin Tarrantino to introduce Dick to a whole new generation audience with the use of Misirlou in Pulp Fiction, and then the Black Eyed Peas sampling it would have also given Dick some extra pocket money for medical expenses.

I have all 6 Beach Party movies on DVD Quigs. For the cameo appearances by cool music acts who appear including Dick Dale, Stevie Wonder, James Brown and the Hondells.

The word "legend" gets thrown around a lot but in terms of having a lasting impact on the music scene few go close to Dick Dale and the influence he had on generations of guitarists.

Apparently he was a prick of a bloke.

Heard that about him too.

Never meet your heroes.

I think that with all his health issues Dick might be excused for being a prick of a bloke.

I have had some mixed "meting your heroes" experiences over the years, the highlight was meeting a very polite and sympathetic Ray Davies, and last Saturday I exchanged pleasantries with Chain's Matt Taylor and Phil Manning who were pretty laid back and knew how to play the PR game.

I did a subbing gig with the Cockroaches quite a few years ago and met Austen Tayshus at the gig. Rudest merkin I've met in some time. Oh, and when I say rude, I'm not talking salty language.

Heard that about the rooter from many in the biz.
*Uncle Sad supported the Cockroaches at The Palais Royale back in 1989. Two others on the bill were the Mentals & Hoodoos from memory.
