The greatest frontman of a band ever ?

[Joe_Armstrong]

Prince of New Power Generation.

 

[Anung Un Rama]

Fuck yes.
Saw him twice - once in the Clash and then with the Mescaleros 20 years later.

That is very cool.

 

[Thrawn33]

"Best Frontman" to me is a mix of vocal talent, presence and showmanship...

Basically Freddie Mercury....

 

[Anung Un Rama]

After seeing the actual poll results i'm shocked each one of the Spice Girls didn't make the top 10.

 

[Thrawn33]

Prince of New Power Generation.

Nice....

Still putting him behind Freddie

 

[ObsoleteSoul]

Freddie
Mick
Plant
Morrison
Vedder
York
Dickinson

Roger Daltry
David Lee Roth


Guns & Roses was garbage after Appetite; and Axl sucked in concert.

And lol @ that Oasis can even getting nominated. Who got second place? Robbie Williams lmao

Axl put on one of the greatest shows 8ve ever seen in 05. Him and sebastian Bach doing My Michelle was mind-blowing.

He was off and on. When he was on, live, he was absolutely electrifying

Edit. It was 2011 or 12 that I saw them. My bad

Edit AGAIN! It was 2006 in tampa. Fuck, my memory is going....

Robert Plant from Led Zeppelin.
I'm going to see him live next month on the 21st. The Brady Theater, Tulsa, OK. He is 69 now. Some real Rock-and-Roll history.

 

[Bald1]

Not my actual nominee, but he embodies what a frontman should be. Represents the sound, genre, and vibe of the band. Energetic, draws the eye and gives you the experience you expect from the show.

Hetfield, Axl, Dickinson and, of course, Freddie Mercury are standouts amongst stuff I listen to. Hell, Joan Jett is up there. I can't pick one.

If Freddie Mercury isn’t the first person you think of, it’s over for you.

Maybe if Queen wasn't the lamest and most overrated band ever.
We are the champions and We will rock you are two of the worst songs OF ALL TIME.

I saw GNR in '88....

At this concert:

NOVEMBER 17, 1988 4:33PM ET

The Hard Truth About Guns N’ Roses

Finally, some bad boys who are good
Show was off the chain; but Axl's voice is best in the studio. And he hasn't held up and neither did his band. Can't give him a nom for this category.

 

[Jim Cozad Jr.]

Prime Axl is the GOAT...

 

[Oogie Sharp]

Miles Davis

 

[Oogie Sharp]

Wolfgang Mozart

 

[Phr3121]

Paul Stanley - KISS

 

[BobSappIsMyDad]

Fred Durst

 

[Anung Un Rama]

Whoever the front man of Insane Clown Posse is.

 

[ObamaPhoneLady]

I saw Billy Idol in a small club in Vancouver in like 2000 and he blew everyone I've seen including AC/DC out of the water.

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

Freddie Mercury is going to be very hard to beat, not sure I’d put Liam Gallagher higher than the top three of the Britpop era, Jarvis Cocker wins that one, and Damon is better than Liam imo.

Yeah I’m a metal fan but Freddie would be my pick. Also Ozzy, not the greatest singer but he’s fuckin Ozzy.

 

[Zer]

On the other side of the coin - I think I saw New Order in Milwaukee back in '91.

It was like watching people go through rape counseling basically.

tbf they had an awesome frontman but he killed himself

 

[Dolomite]

Fred Durst

Coupla good songs - not a mega fan - however - Just heard someone talking about him on a SiriusXM show. They said he got to be such a big deal back in the day due to:

1. Hard Touring
2. Stage Presence

Apparently, you just put a mic in his hand and the next thing you know, the audience is ready to invade Europe.
