Reincarnation.

breakstuff

Sat in the hot tub earlier tonight,me and Mrs B where having the debate as to who,if possible,you would be reincarnated as.

My answer,maybe predictably,was Keith Richards.The man's done it all.Drink,drugs,dated the most desirable women of the day,prison,toured the world,not to mention the massive influence on music since their inception,while never holding down what we'd consider a normal job.What's not to love.

I think I could genuinely die happy knowing I've lived that life.

So,Fretboarders,who would you come back as?

Legionreturns

Rodriguez... just for the fact that he's such an awesome bloke, and got an astonishingly amazing surprise and then got to start touring years after he thought he'd tanked! 

octatonic

Rocco Siffredi or Les Paul.

Kilgore

Alexander the Great and Lennon come to mind but I think it would have to be Michael Gove.

Rik Mayall. I'd give anything to be that funny and so carefree.

You must have done some awful things in this life to come back as that!

Hattigol

Reincarnation? Not again....

Fuengi

Paul Simon or Stuart Lee.

Basically anyone with two Christian names.

Funnily enough I was thinking exactly the same thing - apart from his tragically early death - he had it all....

Of course Keith is immortal. I'm not sure that's allowed.

Reminded me of the original studio version of this but I could only find a live version on YouTube, unfortunately slightly less corresponding with your point but still good:

Amyway, my answer probably Ben McKenzie so I could end up married to Morena Baccarin.

I want to be reincarnated as a Fretboarder, who for years spends a load of money on gear, trying every new pedal and fad, and then realises...

....oh...

hang on a minute

Me.  Start again as me, knowing what’s coming this time around.  Or does that not count as reincarnation?  i.e. time doesn’t get reset?

If it just a continuation of the existing timeline but as a different person / animal, then I’d still come back as me as long as I knew I would be reincarnated at the end indefinitely.  I could try out different lives each time.

Kilgore

The Dalai Lama. He appears to have got this reincarnation lark sorted.

I'm not sure if you were were reincarnated as somebody you'd automatically become them as such so that would probably puss you right off when instead of becoming the Keith Richards you describe, you end up as a drug addict smoking yourself to death in a squatter camp

And the regret comes when you find out that you've got Gary Neville.

Good point.

You might want to come back as Gilmour but end up having David Brent's life.

Didn't we do this a while ago?

Oh, hang on a minute, that must have been...

I think that were are getting confused over the definition of reincarnation here.

Could we start a new thread and have another go at it?
