THEN GO TO REHAB, YOU STUPID BIATCH!

Geez, it's like she thinks Hendrix died in a car accident or something. It's an addiction, not the curse of the mummy. Her fate can be changed, but she's unwilling to admit that maybe all those drugs aren't good for her.

You never saw Hendrix,Morrison or whoever discuss their drug intakes, brag about how much they take, then complain about how farked up and out of control they are

I preferred my rock stars pretending NOT to be high while i tried to ignore that coke and blood bubble coming out of their nose.

and when the time was right they died without complaining about it

To be fair, there were no celebrity pap whores all up in their business.

Are we absolutely sure she is still alive?

Well, Keith Richards has been dead for 30 years, but no one's bothered to tell him.

For Winehouse, I gotta keep asking, "WHERE THE FARK IS HER MOTHER?"

Nope you are wrong. All those musicians died at 27.

Also dead a 27

-Brian Jones
-Robert Johnson
-Pigpen McKernan
-D. Boon
-Dave Alexander

D. Boon and Alexander sucked worse than all the rest. Well maybe Hendrix too.

Just die already, ugly biatch.

 
AcheronX [TotalFark] 2008-12-28 06:01:27 PM  
I don't think she has to worry about joining the '27 Club' - she's 25, and two years is a very long time in Winehouse-years.

Despite being in the Grateful Dead, Pigpen didn't die from a drug overdose though.

Nobody knows how to maintain anymore. It used to be no matter how smacked out you were, no matter how much booze was flowing through your system, you didn't flap around and act like a moron and brag about how much you drank or snorted. You just took your drug like a man.

I know it is fashionable to bash her but that trainwreck can really sing.

This. I hope she can get it together before she ruins herself totally. There's a youtube clip of Winehouse and Charlotte Church singing a duet and it's really painful to watch/hear.

She's as old as I am? No kidding? Man am I glad to have reverted to just drinking.

 
mfaby 2008-12-28 06:46:31 PM  
Amy? You're worried you drug intake will kill you?

Mabye you should STOP TAKING DRUGS THEN, YOU STUPID FARKING BIATCH.

That is all.

 
3rdtimearound [TotalFark] 2008-12-28 07:17:34 PM  
If she quits everything right now, the shock alone will paralyse her heart and cause her brain to explode.

I also wish to mention that, although she can sing OK, she's not in any sense great. And at the rate she's been going, she'll die at 25 or 26.

Seriously, though, her drug use and fear of death are not a weird combination. She's probably medicating part of that fear. Not that it's rational, but it's not unusual.

 
dionysusaur 2008-12-28 08:11:20 PM  
Fears the call, Subby?

She's been drunk-dialing like a fiend and praying they've got caller ID or Star-Sixty-Something.

Her true addiction isn't the drugs, it's the attention. If we stop giving it to her long enough, she might get it together.

THIS. Obviously she's gone and farked herself up real good, but anybody who denies that she has a real vocal talent isn't listening.

Her days of making music are probably over though.

 
SuperCatBarf [TotalFark] 2008-12-28 08:59:25 PM  
I hope she gets rid of/loses her dumbass husband and rejoins reality before she's completely ruined. I understand that some people don't like her music, but that's simply because they have no talent themselves for separating the good stuff from the mountains of crap.

Kurt Cobain because he offed himself, as opposed to drug overdose?

I still disagree that he should be removed, he revolutionized the rock scene and breathed life into the rock movement. Although he DID partially contribute to the near-death of metal for a few years, he still ruled.

He was a very influential and original character, and deserves to be counted among the 27 club.

1) I still think Courtney had someone whack him, and rode the sympathy sales all the way to the top. I wouldn't put it past her.
2) Kurt killed all the BAD metal. Good metal survived. He killed Bon Jovi, Poison and Warrant. I'm a metalhead, and I'm still thankful for Cobain.

 
hamiltonjdavid [TotalFark] 2008-12-28 09:09:28 PM  
The only way this woman will live to 30 is if the nanny state she lives in steps in and throws her ass in jail for a few years. I'm sure they can come up with a charge of some sort. They're good at that sort of thing over there.

As an added bonus, if she were stuck in jail, we wouldn't have to hear any more crap about her for a while. It's the clear path to awesome.

Honestly, I think it's fun to think she did do it, and it helps Kurt save face, but honestly I think he did it himself. Though I wouldn't put it past her either.

God knows her music wasn't taking her anywhere.

Yeah, Cobain, but not just for the suicide reason. I know he's revered by many, and it's probably an age/lawn thing, but I don't think he's close to Hendrix/Morrison/Joplin. Sorry.

 
Dialectic 2008-12-28 10:24:22 PM  
And Haines is adamant Winehouse has a fear she will die at the age of 27, joining other legendary rock stars including The Doors frontman Jim Morrison, the Rolling Stones star Brian Jones, and Nirvana rocker Kurt Cobain.
He adds: "She reckoned she would join the 27 Club of rock stars who died at that age. She told me, 'I have a feeling I'm gonna die young'."


Talk 'bout her de-generation!

 
SuperCatBarf [TotalFark] 2008-12-28 11:10:26 PM  
Okay, someone step up and clue us all in to the awesomeness of Jim Morrison. He was the "cutie" front-man from a slightly edgy band. His big contribution was altering the popular perception of "hot cock" from "I love ya, baby!" to "biatch, you know you want this dick" and that's about it.

Cobain snapped a public who thought Poison was good into reality; for that alone the man should be honored.

I was hoping you'd quote some deep, meaningful poetry or lyrics he wrote, a way that Morrison changed music, or something worthwhile. Instead you chumped out, because you're talking out your ass. Even if you weren't, there's nothing you could say that would support your position. Man up and admit it or post some proof.

Hendrix played some innovative guitar, Joplin, like Winehouse, had a soulful and real voice that made her a standout despite her appearance and shiatty habits. Cobain, via his honesty, snark, and flippant disregard for the industry standards of the moment/delivery of something people could relate to, changed both the industry's and the public's perception of what music's "job" was, thus making hair metal and Michael Jackson irrelevant. Morrison was a pretty boy who wrote some eyeroll-worthy poetry and lyrics.

Your excuse smacks of liking artists for era and image rather than appreciating their work. Your pennance: listen to "Whiskey Bar" forever.

I am a musician that is largely biased against singers in bands that don't play instruments. I mostly find their lack of dedication disturbing. However there are some singers that don't play instruments that I don't have a problem with. Bruce Dickinson, Robert Plant, and actually Jim Morrison is one too.

All of those guys are just farking cool. They have the stage presence and the ability to put on a show. They sound good, and they have "it". I still think being able to sing well takes a lot more accidental talent than musical ability and I can more easily appreciate someone playing an instrument well than I can a great singer, but those guys were/are just a little better than the rest.

Lets just say the kid enjoys Nirvana more than The Doors. I know that is impossible to imagine but some people do. It could have something to do with age. Im not saying everyone from a generation sees it that way but like I said before Id rather listen to Nirvana than The Doors.

only because you've probably had your fill of the Doors. Pretty soon everything gets old. I'd rather listen to cypress hill than the Nirvana--till it gets old and i move on.

Let me rephrase that then. I go back to Nirvana more often than I go back to The Doors. Just my opinion of course. But yea everything gets old but some shiat is worth going back to.

SuperCatBarf: Hendrix played some innovative guitar

This wasn't the main point of your post, but I think it's worth pointing out that Hendrix was way more than just a great guitarist. He's in the same league as Townes, Dylan, and Waits as a songwriter. That's where his real genius lies, in my opinion. His instrumental expertise is just gravy.

It just bugs me when I hear things like, "Hendrix was overrated, (insert speed metal guitarist here) is WAY better". Playing 8,000 16th notes in half a second doesn't make you a great musician; writing songs like Fire, Manic Depression, Bold as Love, and Castles Made of Sand do.
