Best Frontman (or woman)

  1. Gotta agree with Bucknutty; 20 years ago pretty cool.
    But when you are singing songs about former fatass television detectives (Perry Mason :eek:) you've gone the way of 'Europe.'

    Ozzy is living off his old name and the lore of burned out high school kids with OZZY tattooed on their knuckles.

    Axl has also gone the way of Ozzy. In the band's heyday he was awesome. Now, he's a sweaty fat ass parading around the stage trying to hit high notes he used to nail.

    I remember a Van Halen concert in Charleston many years ago. Roth stopped the show and pitched a bitch comes these dudes were throwing water balloons onto the stage.

    I'll go with these off the top of my head:

    Bruce Springsteen
    Bono
    Jeff Tweedy
    and the combined Marah frontage of Dave and Serge Bielanko
     
  3. No mention yet of Stevie Nicks on the distaff side?

    Definitely have to agree with Bucknutty and the Vilainous Popcorn Man. I went to OzzFest '01 and he was pretty much a maniac when performing, but three years later, it was nothing short of pathetic. Jumping around like he had Parkinson's (which with all the drugs he's done, I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't have it already), flubbing lyrics and just flat-out didn't show the life in his performances that he did just a few years before.

    The picture I posted is the way I choose to remember Ozzy: animated, half-crazy and a great showman. I can only imagine seeing him 15 or so years before '01.

    what the fuck does his being gay and dying of AIDS have to do with anything.

    Wouldn't Bruce be disqualified under my original guidelines? Ditto Tom Petty.

    Maybe 93 is a disciple of that guy (Paul Ober-somethingorother) who blogged about the "hotness" of Christine Daniels.


    Oh, BTW, where's the love for Brian Johnson?

    Michael Stipe is pretty darn good, too. Long live REM.

    That's a good point, but the E-Street Band is a lot more than just a backup band...

    The word "moron" is about to sue you for libel.
