Greatest frontman ever?
 

Many people bicker, but who was the greatest frontman of all time?

It's been puzzlin man for generations, wel, at least 2.

There has been many great frontmen, such as the legendary Robert Plant, or the ever charismatic Freddie Mercury, but who was the best?

I will leave you with that thought.

Post freely and enjoy

I gotta go with Mick Jagger, but Page and Axl are close

I would have to go with Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden. Such a commanding voice, you just cant ignore him onstage.

There don't seem to be too many great frontmen around today, and those that are differ from the frontmen of past decades such as Freddie Mercury or Mick Jagger. Though Zack de la Rocha from his time in RATM deserves a mention.

i'd say freddie.
dont think i need to explain

I'd say Layne Staley, Axl Rose, Phil Anselmo and Hetfield

Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden,David Lee Roth of Van Halen and Axl.

I gotta say Ozzy Ozbourne man still going after over 30 years , and he's still as popular as ever. Axl come on guys where is he now ?

Hrrrrrm... Where is Ozzy now? Oh, riiiiiiiiight, in that degrading, dumbass reality show :rolleyes:

freddy mercury


such a great man

Axl Rose is a legend but I wouldn't say he was the greatest because, well, he stopped turnin up! I mean can u imagine like david lee roth or freddie mercury doin that? I mean Axl rose was a master, with his singin style and his lizard like movements, he was a god, but he wasn't a good band member, bein so 'I am the singer so I tell you wot to do.' although he was a legend he was a **** band member which is a shame

Keep postin guys

kudos to you you're quite right

Alexi Laiho from Children of Bodom.

You ever heard of a thing called ozzfest boys ,

i have... james hetfield, ozzbourne and mercury

<<<Bruce Dickinson or Bon Scott from early AC/DC.

What does great mean?
Band getting known/popular because of him?
jim morrison, kurt cobain

skill?
have to think about that one, because a really good frontman in my opinion wouldnt attract attention only on him as frontman and therefore isnt that known and obvious.

legend status?
mercury,plant

Freddy Mercury.... I dislike David Roth... To me he is a wanker. Actually,
I think most of my dislike from Roth is increased by more of some of his
really hardcore followers.

jim morrison, roger daltrey, chris cornell, zack de la rocha, robert plant, axl rose

Freddie Mercury.

Zack De la Rocha

Robert Plant

axl rose, bon scott, eric clapton, jimi hendrix, james hetfield, dave mustaine

i've gotta say Maynard James Keenan (tool), Trent Reznor (nin), Kurt Cobain (nirvana) or Zack De la Rocha (rage against the machine) also Johnny Rotten (sex pistols), and Jim Morrison (doors)
:thumb:

I am amazed that nobody has mentioned Johnny Rotten?

Roger Daltrey. And I'm not an Aerosmith fan, but Steven Tyler is a good frontman.

W. Axl Rose. hands down.

anselmo

Bruce Dickinson, Dave Mustaine

Dave Mustaine, Freddie Mercury, Robert Plant, Bruce Dickinson, Ronnie James Dio, James Hetfield, Axl Rose, Mick Jagger, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Layne Stanley, Chris Cornell, Phil Anselmo and Ozzy.
