Biggest Music What Ifs ______

[Soot and Stars]

What if Jesse Katsopolis never got kicked out of the Rippers and formed The Monkey Puppets

His vision died after the Rippers! You will never win that one Metal!

His vision died after the Rippers! You will never win that one Metal!

When I was a little girl, I would imagine walking down the aisle to "Forever"

 

[METALPRIEST]

Well then DJ never would've met Viper. True love, I tell you!

Yeah but they broke up anyway....

His vision died after the Rippers! You will never win that one Metal!

Maybe but they were GREAT times at the Smash Club

Now that I think of it, Steve was the one for DJ.

And who remembers when Little Richard rocked the house at The Smash Club?

 

[Prime]

What if there was no such thing as mainstream?

 

[Peter Norway]

What if Iommi and Osborne always got along swimmingly and went on to make crap album after crap album while Dio got a job as a vocal coach at the local Guitar Center?

 

[Groovy Man]

What if the ''classic rock era'' never ended?

 

[Prime]

What if the radio was never invented?

 

[Death on Credit]

How would the rock landscape have changed if one or more of these books had never reached print?

Naked Lunch, William S. Burroughs
On the Road, Jack Kerouac
Howl and Other Poems, Allen Ginsberg

Think carefully about this one. It may go deeper than it first appears... The Beats kicked the door down into a lot of areas that nobody had written about before, much less written music about.

The influence of the Beats on rock 'n roll culture is next to immeasurable.

The Beatles would have had a different name, at least.

There would certainly be no Bob Dylan, and without him a whole lot of other music would have also been crossed off, as he was the main catalyst for rock lyricism as we know it.

Generally, I don't believe in "what if." I'm a fatalist, and don't believe in free will. I think that everything happens in the only way that it possibly could have happened. What was is all that there is. It's fun to speculate sometimes, though.

I don't think if Kurt Cobain had ever died, Nirvana wouldn't have become such a household name as it is today.

What if Layne Staley never passed?
