    Why don't they have Cliff Burton on one of these? Best bassist the world has ever seen.

    I have to agree with the saddest songs of Janis Joplin. She died way before her career had begun. Just think what she could have been and put to words and music.

    If Aaliyah was still alive, Beyonce would have a run for her money.......and if Lisa "Left eye" Lopes was still alive TLC would still be the Number one group in America......and that is real!!!

    There will never be a better guitar player than Jimi Hendrix. He was an amazing innovator.
