Default If you could bring a dead rock star back to life
If you could bring a dead rock star back to life for one gig, who would it be?

John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix, Elvis, Kurt Cobain, Buddy Holly, Freddie Mercury? Or someone else?

Not sure if he would be considered rock but he did pretty much invent the genre of country rock so..Gram Parsons.

it's possible he hasn't been mentioned because he's not dead.

Jim Morrison, I always think of him as the male counterpart to Stevie.

Lennon, no doubt... I can only imagine what the Beatles reunion in the 90s would've been like with him.

A close second is Freddie... I really think Queen would still be making records if he were alive.
