belongs to axel....(though he led the seperation of guns n roses):snowboard:
okay
anyone wanna go fishing? the can of worms is open. But heres 2 of my favorites....
1. Layne Staley
2. Maynard James Keenan
maynard is also a good one...great vox
im a huge gn'r fan but i dont know if i can call axl the best frontman ever. damn good for singing and writing songs, but an ego that destroyed everything....just like a great rocker would....hmm, i guess he would be the greatest then
same with kurt...destroyed the band with his selfishness
1. Rodger Daltry
2. Robert Plant
robert plant is great
Plant
i Don't Capitalize anyones name unless its Jesus or Lord Jesus Christ

sebastian bach (skid row) dramatic actor on stage
rob zombie (white zombie or himself) great antics
Sully Erna (godsmack) talented musician, puts on a great show
Dani Filth (cradle of filth) same style as alice cooper and rob zombie
Steve Vai (Vai) great guitarist, decent singer but amazing showman and fronts his own band
Buckethead great guitarist, fronts his own band and nuts on stage.
thats just a few that come to mind

ric ocasek was good, I don't know if any of you guys know or like a band called The Cars. They were big in the 80's.

I gotta go with Axl as well.
I also have to agree with Maynard, Phil Anselmo, and Layne Staley as great frontmen.
Also being a guitarist who idolizes Vai I would not call him a frontman, nor would I Buckethead being another awesome guitarist. I would say a frontman is a singer IMO. Oh and Vai is the best guitar player ever but his vocals are horrible.
Good point, but SRV is the best guitar player everQuote:

As a frontman? I saw them in 79 I think it was, maybe 78, I don't remember, but I do remember thinking "Damn, a two by four stood in front of the mike would have a little more personality than this guy"Quote:

Steve Tyler was good when I saw Areosmith but I say David Lee Roth. Axel Rose sounded horrible live, struggling to do his own stuff.
A lot of great lead men have been mentioned, and from all different styles of music.
But what about Jazz and Blues?
As far as Ric Ocasek, he was OK the Cars had a few good songs, but I never really got into them.
I love the Doors, But Morrison was usually really stoned on stage
Freddy mercury was a Great showman, he really got into the music.
some of my favs are layne staley(aic & mad season),glenn danzig(misfits),ozzy,tom araya(slayer),trent reznor(nin)
Steve Perry
I Vote For Eddie Roxx!!!!!!!!!

claudio sanchez?
glad to see Medlocke get a vote and Sebastian Bach. Both are great frontmen. I'd also toss in Jani Lane from Warrant. Probably the best frontman I've ever personally seen. He's from Ohio though so when he's here he's playing to a home crowd and is always fired up.

but they are refering to the singer of Skid Row, a popular band in the late 80's/early 90's out of New Jersey, Jon Bon Jovi helped them get to the big time. :hasquint:
ok, i know skid row, but i actually didn't know who their frontman is/was.Quote:

Yes Dave Grohl is an amazing musician. Drums, Guitar, singing, song writing, front man. Not too many people can do all of that AND sell millions of records while doing it.
I saw Foo Fighters in Denver in '05 it was an awesome show.
..also saw Nirvana in '92? in Denver as well. both great shows.
+1 Dave Grohl
