Pity Luciano blew him off that stage [and he was much older too].dennis hodgsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09409579380626581592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334978135882767981.post-87919818424701803102009-12-16T22:19:58.458-08:002009-12-16T22:19:58.458-08:00Goodness gracious me Perplexio ! John Densmore said that really ??! My God, that might have been the biggest moment in Eddie Vedder&#39;s life ! The Doors refusing to perform w/o Eddie Vedder ... That was a really amazing info. you gave me out here !<br /><br />And I have checked out Cold Chisel, and must say you are right about Jimmy Barnes, He does have a powerful heavy voice ... As for Living Loud, the band line-up you mentioned above seems to be a deadly combo of some of the greatest musicians ever ... I am sure gonna check this band out ! <br /><br />You are quite the most knowledgeable guy I might have ever met Perplexio ... Thanks very much !bearockrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00820751260419572484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334978135882767981.post-67390771907174008662009-12-16T14:19:46.241-08:002009-12-16T14:19:46.241-08:00PS: He&#39;s not well known here in the States, but I&#39;d also recommend an honorable mention for Cold Chisel vocalist, <a href="http://perplexio76.blogspot.com/search/label/Jimmy%20Barnes" rel="nofollow">Jimmy Barnes</a>. Barnes also did an album with a band called, <a href="http://perplexio76.blogspot.com/2005/11/living-loud-2004.html" rel="nofollow">Living Loud</a> with Steve Morse of Deep Purple &amp; the Dixie Dregs, and Lee Kerslake and Bob Daisley of Black Sabbath.Perplexiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09971805688658949769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334978135882767981.post-72335186860239628952009-12-16T14:16:50.934-08:002009-12-16T14:16:50.934-08:00It&#39;s sad that Roger&#39;s voice is but a whisper of what it once was. I&#39;d have loved to have seen the Who live when they were in their prime. Now you couldn&#39;t drag me to see them live. They&#39;re shadows of who they once were and it just wouldn&#39;t be the same without John &amp; Keith. <br /><br />As for Eddie Vedder, interesting story with him. When the Doors were inducted into the RRHOF, he guested on the lead vocals for their performance at the induction ceremony. When Robbie Kreiger &amp; Ray Manzarek put together &quot;The Doors of the 21st Century&quot;, drummer John Densmore refused to particpate saying the only way he&#39;d participate in a Doors reunion would be if Eddie Vedder were the vocalist. He said Vedder was/is the only vocalist equal to the task of singing Jim Morrison&#39;s material. I&#39;d say that&#39;s quite a lofty compliment to Vedder.Perplexiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09971805688658949769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334978135882767981.post-81356144463043877812009-10-26T22:00:17.175-07:002009-10-26T22:00:17.175-07:00Thanks Very Much drewzepmeister... and I Do Agree With You classicrockforthesoul, Roger And Plant Are Definitely Very Powerful Vocalists for sure !<br /><br />Thanks For Your Appreciation Of This List..bearockrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00820751260419572484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334978135882767981.post-89778520437500095582009-10-26T19:35:29.712-07:002009-10-26T19:35:29.712-07:00Great list!<br /><br />I definitely am with you on Roger and Robert.
