Greatest band, greatest frontman

[Slioch]

Geldof - The Rats.

True, He's a bit of a nobber now, but back then he was pretty awesome...

 

[raleighnut]

Some kind of illness has taken you.

Plant, Ozzy are contenders. The rest are in no way seminal front men.

Marriott was a star, if you'd seen him live you'd know it

"She had the nerve to put this bald-headed fat little has-been down"..........................priceless.

 

[Chromatic]

Axl in the same league and Freddie - finally - an obvious choice. <applause>

Axl is a twat.

Geldof is a bigger twat than axl.

 

[Dave 123]

Great but he's a singer not a performer.

In what way?

 

[TVC]

Nigel Blackwell - HMHB.

Music, comedy, mimickry and an encyclopedic knowledge of Grandstand.

 

[Tin Pot]

In what way?

There is singing and there is performing. It took a few years but I learned this eventually.

I love his voice, genuinely one of my favourites. But a great, no, *the* greatest front man is someone who owns the stage, the audience, and beyond that - I can think of few people beyond Jagger who do all that simply by walking in.

It's not about voice, it's about performance. There are great front men who frankly had average voices. Sinatra, as a controversial example.

Singing is one thing, performing...being a great front man...is another thing.

Axl is a twat.

True. Arguably Twattery is a required characteristic for The Greatest Front Man of All Time.

See the video for "Dancing in the streets".

Charisma maybe, but twattishness? No.

Charisma maybe, but twattishness? No.

You've got to really, really put yourself out there to be an immense performer, really put yourself on the line. I don't see how you can do that successfully every time without looking like a twat occasionally.

IMHO Axl was in that league but far more twat than great.

So, if your career has no Twattery then you just weren't trying hard enough

 

[beastie]

Cos he's shite?

I like his music, but live he was most dissapointing

Mick Jagger.

The wife and I went to see the Kaiser Chiefs last winter. Ricky Wilson was excellent.

Both correct. Bon will never be matched, Joan is the bestest of the bestest.
