If you could go back in time and stop any one person or group's musical career, who or what would it be? (lemmy.world)

This isn't a "go back in time and assassinate" someone question. It's just their musical career never takes off and thus any music they ever would have made is no longer in this timeline.

As an audiophile, Dr. Dre.

Alternatively Billie Eilish. She's got malicious vibes.

I'd straight up yesterday the Beatles. Fuck'em.

That would meam a lot of derivatives would never come to be.

It's like saying you would like to eclipse the Sex Pistols or Black Sabbath.

Maybe help Hitler get his music career off the ground in hopes of providing a positive outlet?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Bon Jovi. Nobody needed that.

Would it be cheating if I chose Nero Caesar since he technically was a musician and would perform in the colosseums under threat of death?

~~Ted Bundy.~~ Charlie Manson (Oops, swaped serial killer names when i typed it out)

Maybe without music and the Beach Boys connection he never gets his cult off the ground.

Damn this had me thinking to stop the musician that proposed the winter dance party tour, but it seems buddy Holly originated it so no facing him.

It would have been cool to see where he went musically.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

The Beatles.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

All excellent suggestions here. I’m adding Lost Prophets to the list. Maybe don’t look them up if you don’t already know.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Dave Mustaine is a particularly irritating fascist, would be nice id he didn't get royalties
