Things To Do While Waiting For Death

Recommended Posts

Christ, this is deadlier than being at WrestleMania VII or name checked on a Half Man Half Biscuit album.

Actually I just had a horrible feeling and I was right.

 

Gustavo Lezcano played on Miami Sound Machine's Dr Beat and therefore the mash-up must include him. Lezcano died in 2014.

 

@The Quim Reaper, wanna try again?

 

Oh you're having a bloody laugh :facepalm:

 

Will. Not. Give. In.

Well, actually having listened to it, I really can't hear Leczano's harmonica on the mash-up. It is there in the original.

 

So.....what do we think? It's a bit of a push to say he was on the Doctor Pressure number, but he appeared on the original? In order to save any doubt, I suggest we move on and find one that definitely doesn't have a dead person involved.

Sorry to hear you endured it...

 

Pretty confident about Now 65. Any advances on Now 65? Going once, going twice...

D'you know the worst thing is that that was a typo and I meant 66, but I've just double checked that and right at the end it's got Amy on it as well :facepalm:

So if @Clorox Bleachman is to be believed, it's Now 73? Let's have a look.

 

I wouldn't be so sure. I only scored off the people I knew had died. Not like I could tell you about all the past members of 3OH!3.

So, watching that ABBA comp from BBC4, that particular quartet are all still going.

 

Now, a few years ago, there was a discussion of 60s band with all the members still living. I say a few years ago, The Kinks qualified, and Peter Quaife has since died. 8 years ago according to Google, so yeah, wee while ago.

 

Anyhow, as the 1970s are to now what the 60s were back then - time wise - what other 70s bands claim a complete living cast then? My mind runs blank, and if folk on here don't know something about music it ain't worth knowing...

 

EDIT - The Police, obv. Jumping to a second right before pressing send.

Madness had their first hit in the 70s. Brian and Michael?

 

I'm sure there's loads more - Brotherhood of Man, without looking?

Surprisingly Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young are all still alive. 

 

EDIT: Started in the 60s technically, but are the only band from the 60s where all members are still alive?

Genesis (for now)

Er, not exactly. All of the classic era Genesis band members are still alive, but the drummer before Phil Collins, John Mayhew, alas isn't still alive anymore...

Seems to be shitloads more than there was for the 60s discussion at the time. Thanks!

How long can The Osmonds stay on that list?
