What musician, living or dead, would you most like to get drunk with?
For me:

Living - either Dave Grohl or Mike Patton

Dead - Frank Zappa, maybe Jimi Hendrix

18. Janis knew how to drink
I bet she could drink just about any of her male counterparts under the table.

3. Jimi wasn't a big drinker ....
but Jim Morrison had a drink now and then. Lennon had periods where he drank a bit. They might have been fun.

46. Lennon had spells of drinking
which were horrifying. And I am a Lennon fan too. I would probably not have drunk with him except when he was in his left wing phase. Then we could have gone and trashed a recruiting office or something.

5. I don't drink anymore, but...
It was always fun getting bagged with Lemmy. Wouldn't mind one more time. He's funny and really intelligent.

7. Living: BB King
I'm sure he could be convinced to tipple just a bit. As for dead: the first human who thought that the rock-banging sounded pretty alright...

10. Peter Gabriel.
His music is pretty deep, so I bet he says some wacked out stuff when he is drunk! Could be profound!

20. Personally, drinking with the dead doesn't appeal.

Drinking with the Dead? Perhaps.

48. Trust me on this:
Getting drunk with Moonie was quite dangerous. You would never know what he would do next and he liked giving people headnbutts when he was drunk. Headbutts are dangerous things.

54. Well, getting drunk with Al...
Was rare at one time. His poison of choice was, shall we say, far more exotic.

29. Gustav Mahler
Living, Philip Glass. He's such a fucking nice guy, I'd love to sit and chat with him under the tongue loosening effects of a few Martinis.

And Mahler - holy shit, to sit in the presence of a god like that... how amazing would that be!

38. I think Bradley Nowell represented my generation.
He killed himself....by accident.

But, his lyrics said it. He knew what it was about.
