wiggyrichard Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Ok then...How about Nikki Sixx? Never listened to anything he's done, so I'm not qualified to comment. Nikki Sixx ? Are bass players considered front men now ? I have to agree with whoever knocked back the Liam Gallagher idea. As boring front men go he'd be a winner Far enough he wasnt a front man, but he certainly had presence on stage. On the Gallagher thing, its not all about jumping round a stange making a specticle of yourself. He had an aura about him that no-one in England could touch for a decade.

PieFacE Posted October 19, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted October 19, 2011 Chris Martin On a serious note, it's difficult. Kurt Cobain and Morrissey for me. Morrissey in particular made being very uncool cool without trying to do it... and (AFAIK) completely changed the meaning of what a "rock star" was. But then Jagger was awesome too... Matt Bellamy too... Oh i dont know... I can tell you who the worst is.... Dave **** Grohl... why on earth did he leave his drumkit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Freddie Mercury could do it all, so probably him, if you look at it objectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Designer1 Posted October 19, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted October 19, 2011 Kurt Cobain and Morrissey for me. I thought Cobain was pretty static and uninteresting when I saw them to be honest, maybe he was having an 'off' night. Morrissey I agree with though, he was superb. I'll chuck a vote Nick Caves way. The guy has presence and stage persona in spades. Same goes for Henry Rollins, awesomely intimidating on-stage and one of the nicest guys you could meet off it. Someone else mentioned Chuck D, for me the double act with him and Flav (in their pomp) was something to behold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted October 19, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted October 19, 2011 Nick Caves Excellent shout! I totally forgot about him. I saw Grinderman at Summercase a few years back and he was excellent. Well the whole band were but he really stood out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theunderstudy Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I was about to say Keef Flint deserves a mention at least. Hard to look past Freddie Mercury, tolerate him or loathe him and his band, he is one of the best front men ever. Or the recent years, Matt Bellamy, Alex Turner, Josh Homme, Dave Grohl, et al alltalented frontmen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shillzz Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Surely any of the Americans mentioned would qualify as non-Caucasian? FAIL Sorry to go briefly off topic, but i've always thought Caucasian was a term used to describe a person from Europe (and it's surrounding areas within Africa and Asia). Don't get the race/colour thing at all. If someone can be assed to point me back in the right direction, I'm all ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
