Topic: Axl Rose-The 20 Greatest Frontmen in Rock

Axl Rose has attained an almost mythical status -- and not only for his onstage presence. Rose is a lightning rod for controversy, be it punching an unruly reporter or taking 14 years and $12 million to make an album. Despite all that, when he is on his game, there is no one better. Barely contained intensity mixes with manic energy to make him an attention magnet. And even with the depth of talent that the other members of Guns N' Roses possessed, it was impossible to keep from watching Axl as he rushed across teh stage, belting out notes that could shatter glass or bloody eardrums.

1. Elvis Presley
2. Freddie Mercury
3. Mick Jagger
4. David Lee Roth
5. Axl Rose
6. Gene Simmons
7. Ozzy Osbourne
8. Iggy Pop
9. Jim Morrison
10. Alice Cooper
11. Steven Tyler
12. Bruce Dickinson
13. Bruce Springsteen
14. David Bowie
15. Marilyn Manson
16. Robert Smith
17. Bono
18. Rob Zombie
19. Ted Nugent
20. Robert Plant

Re: Axl Rose-The 20 Greatest Frontmen in Rock

DLR = overrated.  I realize this isn't just about vocals, but his have got nothin' on Axl (or Plant, Dickinson, etc.)

Two scoops of The GNR Syndicate in my morning coffee helps to keep me regular.

Thanks, GNR Syndicate!

Plant is way too far down on that list too if you ask me. And Gene Simmons? Fuck that shit!

Yeah, how does he qualify as a frontman?  He's the bassist.

Re: Axl Rose-The 20 Greatest Frontmen in Rock

Pete Townsend &/or Roger Daltry aren't on that list really?

You never ask a navy man if he'll have another drink, because it's nobody's goddamned business how much he's had already.
