If you could rewrite music history....

Ol' Dirty Bastard and Rick James make an album together.

Someone already mentioned Hendrix:

Keep Jimi Hendrix alive.
Stop Prince from changing his name. (He lost a lotta fans)

I would have loved to see Hendrix not dying. Look at the amazing things he did when he was in his teens-20s. He would just keep getting better and better.

Hendrix was getting a lot more experimental with blues, and that's something I'd have liked to see him live long enough to continue.

You know Disco? I'd wipe it out of existence.

Besides bringing back the people I mentioned.

I'd actually remove The Beatles. Just for the likely proof that they didn't really change as much music as people believe, and things probably wouldn't be much different if they hadn't been around, in my opinion.

I like them, but just to see.

Well you can really never know. Maybe music would be the same without the Beatles but maybe it would be completely different. We will never know.

Oh and I know this may sound lame but let's keep Elvis alive.

That would be the point of me saying I'd do it if I could, to know.

Although it's not sort of a massively defining thing. I'd like to have kept the Libertines together, just 'cos I like them.

Damn, and I thought you were alright.

Haha. My guilty pleasure I'm afraid, I get jipped silly by mates about liking them, but oh well. I want to make it clear, I just like the Libs, none of that Babyshambles rubbish.

Oh, and on another note. I'd keep The Smiths together definitely, don't know how it slipped my mind before.

I would have liked to hear what Michael Jackson's song, Bad, would have sounded like if Prince agreed to the duet.

That's a good one actually.

Somehow I knew you would think that, I'm pretty sure you seen this but for those who haven't:

JB, Michael, and Prince...some of the biggest stars all on stage at once.

I wouldn't rewrite anything. There have been so many tragedies, but think about it. Its better for them to have burned out with their great stuff, and always be remembered by that, rather fading away with crap stuff.

Why must that happen? It's not the general rule; it's a cliche.

Like I would like to have seen Jimi Hendrix live to join ELP. That would have been interesting to see, Although ELP Made 4 great albums on their own.

Tupac would never have been killed.

I'm glad I had the opportunity to see him live (no pun intended) in '95.

The world has hardly suffered, he has had the pleasure of still releasing music.
