    definitely a young keith richards.

    he's not sure whether he snorted his own fathers ashes! ya can't get get more 'dont give a f'uck' than that!

    Ooh, hands down (and every other position :pac:) Grace Slick, sexy lady - it's a shame what the drugs did to her though: turning Jefferson Airplane into Starship... :(

    Stevie Nicks was pretty cool too (still looks amazing), ditto Debbie Harry. Janis Joplin totally rawked but was more into gee.

    Joan Jett looked cool.

    Either Kris or Kross.

    Can never remember which was which.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,379 ✭✭✭thebigcheese22


    Eddie Vedder with honorable mentions to Josh Homme, Dave Grohl and Chris Cornell

    I'd say he's had a few more BS stories to go along with that. btw it was confirmed to be BS.


    Too late to choose again? Tuomas Holopainen or Emppu Vuorinen.

    Rory Gallagher had a drinking problem and died from liver failure.

    Sorry to bring this up but Rorys death wasn't caused by a liver problem! Its true that he did have a liver transplant but the boxed liver was caused by huge amounts of prescription drugs to help calm his fear of flying, the drink did play a part in damaging it aswell though. His cause of death was contracting MRSA in hospital after the surgery from bad medical practices. Make sure to wash your hands the next time you visit a rock star in hospital :D

    I'd probably be either Josh Homme or Steven Tyler, seen Tyler at Download and at 62 that man can still go!

    bruce springsteen-seems a true gent

    Tom meighan (lead singer of kasabian), them lads get messy!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,670 ✭✭✭✭Wolfe Tone


    David Coverdale. No, Whitesnake are not ghey.

    Or maybe Bruce Dickenson, pilot, fencer, best heavy metal singer ever(well one of).

    Matt Skiba, just for the voice. I wish I could get him to do the voice on my phone mailbox.

    Also Brian Fallon...seems like a nice humble guy and he is genuinely funny.

    Can't believe no one has said John Lennon.

    John Lennon.

    Lennon.

    Best song writer to ever grace this planet..

    I'd take a sex change and go with Bruce Springsteen. They guy has looked after himself so well and has written some of the greatest music known to man kind.

    If not him, then I'd be Elton John I think. Just to experience the true highs and lows in life. Also his husband, David Furnish, is not that bad of a looker.

    *I think I might have discredited any reputation I have on boards but so be it*

    Nick Cave, hands down.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,626 ✭✭✭Sofaspud


    We all know what happened to Elvis.

    He's doing cabaret in Tenerife now isn't he?

    I'd probably be Nuno Bettencourt. Amazing musician, still touring the world and anonymous enough to not be hounded every time I move.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,072 ✭✭✭PeterIanStaker


    6 pages and nobody's mentioned Chuck Schuldiner, the father of Death Metal, self taught guitar virtuoso and from interviews I've seen on YT, all round nice guy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 836 ✭✭✭fruvai


    Jeff Buckley

    Great voice, brilliant guitar player etc.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,836 ✭✭✭Sir Gallagher


    Prince- Musical genius, great dancer and all round lunatic.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 345 ✭✭Randy Shafter


    Joe Strummer or Eric Clapton

    Jonny Greenwood. He's deadly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 448 ✭✭Mad_Dave


    Jack White, very cool in my opinion


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,073 ✭✭✭✭Terry


    I'm a girl.....does that mean i have a choice of Pink or Debbie Harry?
    Kim Deal, Tanya Donnelly, Kim gordon, Patti Smith, Kristen Pfaff, Melissa Auf Der Maur, Nina Persson, Gail Greenwood to name but a few.

    The man who gave the world "More than words". I'll forever hate him for that.
    It was on MTV every 5 minutes, back when they used to play music videos.


    As for me; Bono, just so that I could post my bank statements here and laugh at everyone, or the cool mother****er that is Eddie Veddar.

    In before TarA: Deryck Whibley between 2006 and 2009. :)

    I'd probably be Beck

    wtf happened to beck? from 'MTV makes me wanna smoke crack' to playing microsoft parties.. n all downhill since that fairyhouse leg of the midnite vultures tour. once brimming with ideas now seemingly devoid of em

    Brian May. Self-made guitars, rocking hair, astrophysicist, all round genius.

    well May is a genius.. n got my vote when i saw him rockin an ST baseball shirt years ago. obviously aware of Rocky George's talents

    i'd be marky wahlberg in Rock Star :pac:

    Roger Daltrey. (frontman for The Who)

    Great job, no real pressure.

    Just wait for band genius Pete Townsend to write songs perfectly suited to your voice & personna (happened regularly),dress up in cool clothes,tour the world & belt them out.

    Job done!:D
