Goths have feelings too
If I look at this purely from a music perspective, which is why I'm here in the first place, all of mine are dead. Morrison, Vicious, Curtis, Cobain.
Oh, and the other one lives in Spain as a fat cat feeding fat cats.

Loki was never worshiped as the other Gods,
Which is quite understandable.

while i agree that your heroes are indeed dead heroes...surely there must be some out there that are still alive..Loki wrote:all of mine are dead. Morrison, Vicious, Curtis, Cobain.

Ok...i get your point...

I think that's the irony/discussion point of PiBs post ...Burn wrote:while i agree that your heroes are indeed dead heroes...surely there must be some out there that are still alive..Loki wrote:all of mine are dead. Morrison, Vicious, Curtis, Cobain.

so the only good hero is a dead hero...what does that gain anyone?...Loki wrote:I think that's the irony/discussion point of PiBs post ...Burn wrote:while i agree that your heroes are indeed dead heroes...surely there must be some out there that are still alive..Loki wrote:all of mine are dead.

if it comes to the question of who would i spend good money on to go and see live before they shake off their mortal coil and become the hero that they're destined to become...then i guess i would include
David Bowie...
um...yep...
seen everyone else who comes into the category of hero in my books (except Izzy )

Bowie's already a Hero (no pun intended) through his longetivity. As are Bono, Sting, Page, Plant, Daltrey et al. They've managed to avoid the pit-falls.
Sport: Witness Stevie Gerrard scoring for Liverpool against Everton last week and not only kissing his crest on his shirt, but actually biting it. Everyone knows he'll be a Chelsea player in the summer.
Music: FF in two years time still going strong? The Killers? Bloc party? Unfortunately in sport and music it's money that talks. No Led Zepp gigging around Brum pubs trying to make it happen. Trying to get a break.
It's all money and the public see that. Each year a new sound, a new fashion. And they accept it. Where do I pay please?
Barry McGuigan? Frank Bruno? James Hunt? Nigel Mansell? Damon Hill?
No More Heroes anymore, so yes I would conclude with PiBs opening post.
It's sad but money talks. And our 'heroes' are manufactured in the blink of an eye. And discarded as quickly. Money talks.

I don't wanna live like I don't mind
the novel below deals with that very concept...Loki wrote:It's sad but money talks. And our 'heroes' are manufactured in the blink of an eye. And discarded as quickly. Money talks.
but i have to agree...the current crop of media whores and musical hacks are going to have a long hard slog to emulate the legends of old...

Heroes? Hmmm... Can't say I've ever had any. People I respect. Certainly not any who've topped themselves/ died of their excesses. Bowie? Yes. Eastwood? Yes. Weller? Yes. Morrissey? Once. Eldritch? Still. My parents? Of course. You miserable bastards. Well alright!
And you know that she's half crazy but that's why you want to be there.

Who knows what is really the right thing or wrong thing to do. Yes it's wrong but sometimes you can't see an alternative. Everyting is percieved as a knockback or an error of judgement, and then where's the future?
It is all quite rationalised.

Tis the thing that stopped me, back in the dark ages. obviously rational thought never completely left me, so i might not have been as far gone as i thought at the time.
