G.G. ALLIN

[mrmint17]

Here's my list (in no particular order):

-Johnny Rotten
-Steven Tyler
-Scott Weiland (maybe not greatest ever, but still good)
-Zach de la Rocha
-James Hetfield
-Billie Joe Armstrong

[Veggie530]

Ozzy, Hetfield, Steven Tyler...and....hmm....I'm lost after that.

[jackirons]

axl from guns, eddie veder from pearl jam, zack from ratm, layne from alice in chains, bono from U2, but the best has to be mike patton from bands such as faith no more, tomahawk and mr. bungle.

[I_Love_JimmyPage]

Rorbert Plant from the mighty Led Zeppelin...he was not only a great frontman with a great presence, but also had the greatest vocals...and such sex appeal, for us women, and some men probably hehe...
Also, Maynard James Keenan from Tool and A Perfect Circle, hes so verstile and his act on stage live is incredibly remarkable.

There are a few good ones out there, but honestly Billie Joe is probably the best, if not of all time, at least from my generation. He is the best stage performer of all time and refuses to do crap unless he wants to, but he's not a jerk about it like some other ones, like Mick Jagger or Kurt Cobain although they too were amazing frontmen. Axl Rose and ALL of Van Halen were the biggest jerks about stuff though, I just can't believe they stuck around as long as they did treating their fans and everybody else the way they did. Joey Ramone is also pretty good. If you guys haven't heard of him, Billy Bones is a bad *** front man, he's in a Los Angeles based hard punk band called The Skulls, they've been around since the '70 although he's not even an original member, his friend formed it and had him come in and everybody loved him, he's actually the oldest member of the band because his friend passed away years ago. Anyway, you should all check them out, they're on Dr. Strange Records, you can find their stuff at the store or online at DrStrange.com which also has many other great bands and merchandise like some bad *** clothes.

PS I almost forgot how bad *** Mark Mothersbaugh from Devo is. It's funy because he's a total nerd but he just leads a crowd like it's nobody's business, and he does everything in that band except for drums and bass, he'll occassionally play guitar and he plays the keyboard a lot, go check out some of there stuff, you can also buy it at Dr Strange Records.

My favourite frontmen are;

Matt Bellamy - Muse; He's so energetic and plays guitar and sings flawlessly well together. He's just so eccentric and awesome with his dancing and jumping around. His live voice is phenomenal too.

Maynard James Keenan - Tool/APC; Great live voice, the stuff he wears and dresses up in, and his tribal dancing and such to the music, very interesting to watch, lol.

Mikael Akerfeldt - Opeth; He's really dry and funny, which I appreciate. Also plays a mean guitar, and his dual vocal styles, very cool frontman.
