Greatest frontman ever?

whole_lotta_zep · 11-13-2004, 06:13 AM

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

Arise · 11-13-2004, 07:16 AM

slapbassist · 11-13-2004, 07:19 AM

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

freddy mercury

such a great man

whole_lotta_zep · 11-13-2004, 07:39 AM

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

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

synzephyr · 11-13-2004, 08:48 AM

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

Silvertide81 · 11-13-2004, 08:58 AM

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.

rockinbass17 · 11-13-2004, 09:06 AM

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

Hitroshimite · 11-13-2004, 09:49 AM

Freddie Mercury.
