Title: Uh oh.....he could croak at any moment
Post by: Drugmoth on April 05, 2009, 07:57:44 PM: Are there any favorite artists of yours who are getting old, that you would be really sad to see die? Hans Ruedi Giger, greatest airbrush artist to ever live, is pushing 70. I'm curious to see how much attention his death will cause, whether it will be barely noticed or if all of a sudden a million people will start videotaping tributes.

Post by: Drugmoth on April 05, 2009, 08:07:47 PM: I've always wanted to visit his bar. That would be a trippy experience if you were to drop something before going in.

Post by: Doormouse on April 05, 2009, 08:20:57 PM: Ever checked out any of Zdzislaw Beksinski's work? My brother was really into him for a while. I have to admit he is pretty sweet. On a more realistic note, I have a number of books of Ernst Haeckle's prints. Totally engrossing art.

Post by: Wozzeck on April 05, 2009, 08:36:01 PM: Beksinski's pre-CGI work is far superior to Giger's, in my opinion, but unfortunately he's already dead.

People who are getting too fucking old for me to be comfortable with:

Gene Wolfe (author)
JG Ballard (literary fetishist)
Tom Waits (noisemaker)
David Lynch (drama major)
Elvis (outsider (http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Outsider_Type))

Well, ok not really, I hope Adam Sandler dies a horrible death......I just hope David Lynch dies soon.

Title: Re: Uh oh.....he could croak at any moment
Post by: Drugmoth on April 05, 2009, 09:30:57 PM: Yes, as a matter of fact they did. Talk about a pretentious asshole who's laughing all the way to the bank because of people like you.
Title: Re: Uh oh.....he could croak at any moment
Post by: FAH-Q on April 06, 2009, 03:47:40 PM: Ballard is fucking awesome.

As is Tom Waits, but I didn't realize he was that old?

And Giger is indirectly responsible for those parental warnings on CDs. Which I'm sure have saved many, many children from the evil corruption of "bad" language and depictions of sex.

Title: Re: Uh oh.....he could croak at any moment
Post by: FAH-Q on April 06, 2009, 08:16:58 PM: That was basically my sarcastic point. All those "warnings" do is give an album some street cred. Although the lack of one on an album that ought to have one is a warning that it's the shitty clean version.
Title: Re: Uh oh.....he could croak at any moment
Post by: mosh on April 07, 2009, 04:13:07 AM: Art stopped when Howard Arkley OD'd

And 70 is hardly old.
Title: Re: Uh oh.....he could croak at any moment
Post by: Lothar on April 07, 2009, 05:12:03 AM: Waits looked spritely enough in Knoxville last yeah in concert, but he was showing his age. It's time for him to grow a beard.

He made a pact with Satan.

Exactly. I've never seen the original, so I have no idea, but DAMN she was hot in that movie.

Pfft.. Last year two of my friends signed away 1/4 of their souls to me; I signed away 1/4. I could easily get a better soul for myself.
