The Seeker Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 It always amazes how pretty much everyone always forgets Brian Jones... he's never featured in pictures, paintings, threads, anything. Even though he was the first one of that club to die, and he kind of was the biggest deal - of course he's almost forgotten today while Hendrix, Cobain etc aren't, but he was a Rolling Stone.

The Seeker Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 I know you did, but most SFers are smarter than the general population anyway, and so I was just talking about other music fans, journalists, etc. Though I WAS a bit surprised to see you mention him because that's not really your cup of tea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSYCHOcatholic Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 after you posted that i actually found a couple with brian jones in it. If you just do a google image search on forever 27, you should find some. I tried posting a picture, but was not able to for some reason. here is a link to it: Forever 27 including Brian Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 There are some, of course, I know, but I don't think any of those annoying I-want-to-die-at-27 kids have ever heard of him. He's just not famous enough anymore... those other 27 people went on to become legends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLizard Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Brian Jones founded the effing Stones. I think that qualifies as legendary. Oh well, we'll just have to stay smug in our superior knowledge. Bit o' trivia: When Jim Morrison heard about Jones' death, he said "I'm next".

forever 27 Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 Okay whatever Brian Jones amazing man not the front man of the Rolling Stones so maybe thats why he's not in the picture. Here's my interpretation The waterfall coming out of the bar- Jimi Hendrix “May This Be Love†The Purple Haze in the background-Jimi Hendrix “Purple Haze†Mercedes Benz grill on the floor-Janis Joplin “Mercedes Benz†Ball and chain staked to the floor-Janis Joplin “Ball and Chain†Mosquito flying in the air- Nirvana “Smells Like Teen Spirit†Heart shaped box on the bar-Nirvana “Heart Shaped Box†The lizard coming out of the boots-The Doors “The Celebration of the Lizard King†The boots where the lizard is coming out of-The Doors “The World on Fire†Possible Bean shape in the entrance? Kurt Cobain's daughter Frances Bean Cobain Angels flying with guitars...heaven? or possible In Utero reference? I don't know. Can anyone explain what the thing is floating in the river thats coming out of the bar? It looks like a boiled egg on a plate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 Interesting interpretation forever27, I can see the references too now. Also cool that you named yourself after this thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forever 27 Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 yeah well I've bought this poster because It's a great piece of art and I've been going through hell trying to figure everything out but I can't quite get it all so I figured I would post everything I see.

Lucky Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 Angels flying with guitars...heaven? or possible In Utero reference? I have always thought that was alluding to Jimi's song "Angel" .... "Angel came down from Heaven yesterday .... " I can't see it clearly, but the egg on a plate (if that's what it is) couldn't that be alluding to "In Utero"? I never would have thought of that without your reference.

forever 27 Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 You can't see it but to the left of janis joplin outiside of the window there is a dove this would be in reference to her song "blowing in the wind" and lucky's right it is in reference to jimi hendrix's song angel.... now observe where the ground is breaking with all the faces and what not......then google in utero and look at the back of the album.....very simular also the rose......what song is this from? or is it from the cover of incesticide by nirvana? check that one out. lastly for the people that can't see the full photo that's displayed there is a spilt cup of coffee, a strawberry milk shake i'm assuming, and then below the ball and chain there is a butterfly coming out of it's cacoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forever 27 Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 um http://www.musicheaven.gr/html/modules/coppermine/albums/userpics/12793/Forever%2027.jpg is the best I can find it's blurry as hell though. I've come to the conclusion that swimming down the river is a broken oyster with a pearl coming out? I dont know Janis Jolin's album "Pearl" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forever 27 Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 there also a dove on the cover of janis joplins boxset "box of pearls" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 yeah, can't really see much more than in the smaller pics here thanks for trying though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLizard Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 You can't see it but to the left of janis joplin outiside of the window there is a dove this would be in reference to her song "blowing in the wind" Blowin' In The Wind is a Bob Dylan song, yo.

forever 27 Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 YO i hate that "word" and yes i know it's a dylan song but she covered it and made it her own.... just like she did with me and bobby mcgee you know yo? I'm just trying to make assumptions so stop correcting me and help me in a nice fashion YO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forever 27 Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 okay neverming screw blowing in the wind it was joan baez that re did that song terribly... but still can't forget about the dove it could be box of pearls or just like the clock symbolizes something for every artist as far as music being timeless maybe the dove represents that everyone of them was a peaceful person and if u go against jim morrison just because you watched The Doors by Oliver Stone then your an idiot for thinking jim was really like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 (edited) Lighten up, kiddo. Lizard was being nice, we all just have a tendancy toward correctness. And I don't think anybody here thinks like that (?) about Morrison. 'Specially not Tim. I was just going to suggest that the dove may just signify that they are all at peace now. The clock, maybe that time has just run out? Edited November 22, 2008 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 ^^ The clock, maybe that time has just run out? that was my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forever 27 Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 sorry for my rudeness but i just bought this poster and i can't figure it out. I didn't mean to offend any one. But about the clock. It's melting that is obvious. For those that don't have the poster....it displays the numbers 2 and 7.....27 pretty brillant. Lastly, it's shaped as an ear. before someone said something about their music being timeless and I think that is the best conclusion about the clock. The dove is interesting R.I.P i guess you can say that signifies very good point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 You're fine. You've got some great points and it's a great topic anyway. I should say welcome to SF, so here ... welcome to Songfacts! What is known about the artist, anyway? I've seen this discussed several times, but there is no explanation of any of it anywhere. I suppose that's because we are supposed to read into the art what we interpret? It's like Don McLean & American Pie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
