Title: Roy Orbison Post by: MadmanDan on June 27, 2005, 08:24:27 AM Well...anyone else like this guy?
I think that if he had better looks he would had been the king of Rock N' Roll, not Elvis. Unlike Elvis, he only had his talent to rely on, not tons of retarded teenage girls screaming and crying. Title: Re: Roy Orbison Post by: Kujo on June 27, 2005, 08:46:01 AM Orbison was one of the best singers of his era, unfortunately he died just before he became popular again with his solo "Mystery Girl" album and his work with he Travelling Willburries in the late 80's.
Bruce Springsteen said it best when he was inducted into the RnR Hall of Fame. "When I was growing up I wanted to play guitar like Hendrix, write songs like Dylan, but I most wanted to sing like Roy Orbison."

I only said that Roy Orbison would had been bigger than Elvis if he looked better Title: Re: Roy Orbison Post by: Axls Locomotive on June 27, 2005, 05:41:47 PM Of course he only relied on teenage girls in his early years, later he was to bloated ot get a chick to look at him...but nevermind,let's not turn this into an Elvis thread. I only said that Roy Orbison would had been bigger than Elvis if he looked better thats cool, no need to say much more...i love people who are ignorant...btw elvis was engaged in the year that he died...heres a nice photo from 1977 for you...
