fantastic singers/frontmen 22

You lost me with Raine man.  The guy can't even dream about being a good frontman.  I'm pretty positive that he can't even dream about it cause he sucks to much.  Saw OLP when they toured for Naveed which is by far their best album and the guy just stood there.  At one point I was starting to wonder if he was paralyzed.  He just stood at the mic and sang.  Jeff Martin is good.  Could pass himself has the long lost child of Morrison.  David Usher was awesome with Moist!  Moist were great until they released the dimes album.  That made me want to puke.  I hope they come back one day and put out one last album that can be better.  I don't know how he is solo but with Moist he ruled!

And madagas you are right about Maynard from Tool.  The guy rocks!

Bowie is very good.  Nice finds madagas.  Know what pissed me off about new so called rock acts?  They'll do interviews and complain at how much say Bon Jovi sucks.  All I wanna tell them is that yeah maybe just maybe Bon Jovi sucks.  But know what's sadder?  You suck even more.  And that is bad.  Go back to your fucking basement and when you can come up with music to make a record that is just decent then do interviews and say that Bon Jovi or other acts suck.  In the meantime just shut the fuck up!  And a band that is popular for the last few years that comes to mind that sucks is Nickelback.  And I am Canadian.  Buy any Nickelback record, just one and you have them all cause they all sound the same.  Anyways rant over.  *lol*

Fuck!  That gave me goosebumps.  Nice find madagas!  I'm gonna watch Elvis's comeback show tonight.

And NYGiants82 you bet it's a damn shame that the good ones are getting old.  Cause right now I can't see anyone coming up that has a tenth of talent that the old ones have.  The music industry is going in the gutter because the record company can't find anybody to pick things up.  I don't know if it's by lack of talent or by sheer stupidity from the record execs but I haven't seen a decent new act in ages.

#954 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl No. 64 In Rolling Stone Greatest Singers List » 913 weeks ago

For shits and giggles this is MY top ten greatest frontmen of all time.

1) Elvis Presley: I think I made it clear why I think he's the best.

2) Freddy Mercury: The guy had charisma and knew how to put on a fantastic show.  He had an amazing band behind him but nonetheless.

3) Axl Rose: The guy would hypnotize the crowd with his snakedance and then knock you out with his voice.  No wonder GNR had so many riots when they toured.  People knew that they were in for the performance of a lifetime and when they didn't get it, they were pissed.

4) Mick Jagger: Here is another guy that could do it all.  When you see the Stones you know Mick is gonna give it is all.  Even now at his age he owns most frontmen that could be his kids.

5) Stven Tyler: Another guy that has amazing stage presence.  Some will say he copies Jagger and maybe they're right.  But at 58 or 59 the guy will give you a show that most new bands could only dream of being able to be half as good.

6) Robert Plant: Another guy that would hypnotize you with his move and knock you out with his voice.  Just an amazing frontman.

7) Bono: The guy knows how to put on a show.  His performance at Live Aid 2 when he sang One and Unchained melody sent shivers up my spine.  It's not luck that U2 is considered today's biggest act.  Bono is a huge reason why.

8) Eddie Vedder: What a powerful voice!  A Pearl Jam concert will be memorable and Vedder is a huge reason why.

9) Jon Bon Jovi: Love him or hate him and most people hate him, you gotta give credit where credit is due and JBJ will give you his all in concert.  Saw them once and I tell you that he is a great frontman.

10) Jim Morrison: The guy was mesmerizing.  Nuff said.

I left out some amazing frontmen.  But that's the beauty of this.  It can give some great debates.

Great video Russ.  Now anyone watching this vid.  You see where Mercury, Axl and countless others got to learn how to be an amazing frontman and have great stage presence.

#956 Re: Guns N' Roses » Izzy » 913 weeks ago

Meh!  I'll believe it when I see it.  Izzy coming back to GNR would be great.  Even better that if Slash came bcak.  Musically anyways.  A trio of Buckethead, Ron and Izzy on guitar would be fucking awesome!  Imagine the songs that would come out of those guys.  But this is just a fantasy.

#957 Re: Guns N' Roses » "Guns N' Roses: Is It All Over? Does Anyone Care?" » 913 weeks ago

I'm happy the record is coming out but sad at the same time.  Why?  I believe that this is it.  This is the last record from Axl or GNR.  Just the mess the band seems to be in right now is very revealing.  Not knowing who is in or who is out.  No promo, no interviews, no tour in sight.  The single was dropped suddenly and without promo there as well.  It almost feels like it's coming out cause Axl was forced to release it and he doesn't approve.  So yeah I'm happy it's coming but I fear that the record we were all waiting for was the curtain call as well.

Elvis was the king ans it ain't for nothing man.  I agree that Freddy Mercury was great perhaps better than Axl but Elvis is the man.  My top 5 would be way different to that list.

Obviously I'm going to go ahead and agree with that. Even though Elvis is considered a "solo artist", he had a large band. And the way he fronted that band (interactions and what not) was flat out incredible from 1970 on.

Damn right.  If there ever is a class on how to be a great frontman, Elvis should be the reference.  Any good frontman should watch Elvis's tapes.  The charisma he had was incredible.  And His voice was amazing.
