i think the answer to this thread is that there is no ugliest.

musicians, in general, are just inherrently ugly.

[niobium]

yeah well what about mark mcgrath?

[Det_Nosnip]

Or Christina Scabbia?

Yea but he said musicians. :p

Geddy did look quite disgusting.

The 'new' Gene Simmons looks weird as hell

Neil really isn't that bad. Geddy looks like somebody's grandmother these days.

Yeah Neil wasn't too bad but Geddy is hidious

Jesus christ, anyone that doesn't look like a ****ing supermodel is the ugliest musician of all time to you guys. There have been maybe three or four really ugly looking people in here. Others are just bad photos of fairly average, or maybe slightly under average, people.

[Luc214]

Agreed, but seriously, Messiah is pretty ugly.

[Steerpike]

Agreed, but seriously, Messiah is pretty ugly.

He's basically a catcher's mitt with eyes and a fro.

But I have to agree with Kage that some of you are really stretching here. While it is true that Geddy Lee's face and mullet are proof that there is no god, Copeland really isn't ugly so much as geeky-looking.

Although Devin Townsend... Jesus haploid Christ. I swear, that guy looks like one of the inbred mutant creatures you see in all those cliche snuff films that are trying badly to emulate Deliverance.

[Mikedrummer]

lol, some of you are just taking bad pictures and suggesting people are ugly from them. I'm sure there's ugly pictures of everyone. I myself am average looking, but im sure theres people could look at certain pics and go, "ew, that dudes ugly".

[Meatplow]

i am hard pressed still to believe anyone posted here is uglier then shane mcgowan

Shane McGowan just has horrid teeth. That other picture he just looks like a stoner.

No, dude, Shane McGowan is ugly and there's no doubts about that.

Devin Townsend is definitely in the running. But I still think Alexi Laiho is ugly as ****.

[Steerpike]

Devin Townsend is definitely in the running. But I still think Alexi Laiho is ugly as ****.

He's more "androgynous/creepy" than ugly. I swear, that one picture Leia once posted of him smiling was the most unnerving thing I've ever seen.

[Luc214]

http://a206.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/00375/50/20/375750205_l.jpg

Alexi looks demented in this picture. And directly to his left is my guitar teacher.

No, dude, Shane McGowan is ugly and there's no doubts about that.

Does he have any relation to Rose McGowan?

[heavy metal kid]

Laiho is ugly: small mouth, giant eyes, giant forehead, 5 feet tall, he looks like the bastard child of Daaron Malakian and Avril Lavigne.

[Luc214]

He actually does look like a slightly more masculine Avril Lavigne. It's creepy.

[Steerpike]

http://a206.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/00375/50/20/375750205_l.jpg

As opposed to every other picture he's been in, how? The man could tell you he's going out to the store for milk and eggs and still have a look in his eye like he's going to kill you in your sleep with the same knife he uses to shave his legs.

[Luc214]

I haven't seen very many pictures of him tbh.

[Steerpike]

You've seen one, you've seen them all.

[heavy metal kid]

He doesn't look like a flamboyant serial killer, he just looks weird and he's ugly.

Steve Howe is IMO the ugliest musician in rock history.

[Steerpike]

He doesn't look like a flamboyant serial killer,

Who's the self-proclaimed expert on serial killers here, you or me?

Steve Howe is IMO the ugliest musician in rock history.

Steve Howe may look like the Crypt Keeper, but Devin Townsend... You get the feeling he was the inspiration for Arseface in Preacher?

[heavy metal kid]

Devin Townsend isn't that ugly, he just doesn't give a damn about his image, that's why he looks so ****ed up.

Howe is just funny-ugly.

I know a lot about serial killers, but I wouldn't call myself an expert; so, you win.

[TojesDolan]

Townsend is bald lol

[Steerpike]

Devin Townsend isn't that ugly, he just doesn't give a damn about his image, that's why he looks so ****ed up.

There's a point where you should start caring, though. When you have people asking how long its been since the "accident" you know you've crossed the line.

Keith Richards is looking pretty good...

Exactly, I saw a video of him with Steve Vai and he wasn't great looking but he wasn't ugly either.

The long hair/bald look is the main contribution to his ugliness. And his grimaces.

[Shattered_Future]

I still can't see why you can't see that Devin Townsend is a sexy beast.

He looks like a cancer victim in that Vai video though.
