It was Pete Townsend of "The Who"..\n\nHe is practically deaf now..in small part because of live performance (The Who still hold a Guiness Book of World Records record for the loudest live performance ever)...but mostly because of studio recording sessions and constantly wearing headphones..\n\nHe is concerned..and rightly so..that kids nowadays with "earbuds" directly in the ear canal are going to be sorry later in life...

green day \n50 cent\nwhite stripes\njet\nI just couldn't help myself, had to add an extra.\nI have another I just heard on the radio, Keisha Cole- she cannot sing.  She wouldn't even make it to Hollywood if she tried out for american idol.

Its whatever you like. Just because you listen to a certain type of music doesn't make you some "label".  DOn't listen to those people, be yourself thats all you can be!

Axle Rose.  I've met him a couple of times in different settings and he is just a prick...all the way around. (not just to me, but to EVERYONE!)\n\nUmmm, note the fact that Guns N Roses is basically still together minus Axel. (velvet revolver)\n\nI've met a few celebrities that could at least fake being friendly or if not friendly, polite. but Axle takes the cake for me.

In the glory days of Guns N Roses, he was probably the best rock singer of them all. The current Axl is a bit frightening, and it is sad that the band broke up in such acrimony with the lawsuits and everything - I guess Axl's head got a little too big for him, something not too unusual for a rock star.

People control the volume of their voice by how loudly they can hear it. When people have headphones on ,they cant hear their own voice, so cant' really control it. Naturally they speak loud enough to hear themselves, which would need to be loud to overcome the music. People who are losing their hearing also tend to speak louder.

A friend & I were discussing this yesterday! LOL :)\n\nI heard that he had problems with his throat shortly after his solo album & quit.

I heard that same thing about three weeks ago. They said that he supposedly overdosed on 9 "X" pills. But after that it came back that he faked his death and went in the studio to record another song-about that though! It had to be just a rumor..

Either you have very good ears, or he is an alien, or both.  It is very common, and you should report him to the authorities at once.

i think it was probably a suicide. he was getting clean and thats always hard, and i suppose he had a pretty heated arguement with his girlfriend. I know we try to place blame on others when our favorite artists commit suicide (Elliott, Kurt) or die mysterious deaths (Jeff Buckley, Jimi Hendrix) but in reality these people are fragile and off-center to begin with, and fame adds a myriad of temptations and trouble. Thats what makes them great, sure, but we have to be reasonable. Nobody out there wanted to see Elliott dead except Elliott.
