If we're talking about the Blink guys during their heyday (like 1999,) then their personalities were THE WORST! Potty humor is lame. Now, I like Tom's music but he seems like an arrogant butthole.

That said, I love and miss Green Day. Maybe they'll tour as Foxboro Hot Tubs.

Don't stab me but I think Gerard Way really IS a great personality in music. He's an ace front man, as again evidenced when I saw MCR in concert last week.

... and I'm interviewing Panic at the Disco soon. Although I will agree with you on FOB. Can't stand them!

I'm not a fan of his music, either. His personality, however, is absolute gold. This thread's about great personalities in music, not necessarily nice ones.

Kudos on the Siouxsie Sioux mention. I thought she kind of went without saying.

While I'm in the goth rock mood...


Andi Sexgang, dawgs. One of the most amusing vocalists in rock.

good ol' Pete

the blink 182 guys are all pretty sweet, cept for mark, hes just a bassist, tom has some pretty gnarly riffs and guitarwork and can sing really fast haha. enema of the state is one of the most solid albums i've ever heard.

Garbage.

AND



No Doubt.

Oh, and sorry for the double post but how could I forget!



The Foo Fighters.

Haha, some of these band pictures are funny.

The obligatory funny-face ones...

Enema of the State is actually my least favourite album of blink's. Their Untitled album is the way to go, fuck what anyone says about becoming "mature". If maturity means a killer rock album, then I like it..

I read an article about P!atD in a local magazine (just because I hate them so much, I wanted to find out some stuff I could hate them about) called RipItUp, and I found out their next (or latest, I don't know if it's out yet) album is supposedly more influenced by older pop bands, The Beatles and The Beach Boys were mentioned a lot.

The next bit I could not believe. One of them (who cares who it was) said that they'd never even heard of anything by The Beatles or The Beach Boys before, and that he listened to Sgt. Pepper's for the first time before they started recording the album and was blown away etc...

Now what kind of musician worth his glorified face hasn't even HEARD of The Beatles???

What God-forsaken direction is pop music going when the people who make it haven't even heard of the almighty Gods who CREATED pop music???

ill have to give that a listen, on my penis! lol ?

that sounds very elitist of you, those guys are pretty famous and well off, did they ever claim to be influenced by the beatles? maybe you can listen to their new album and hear a bands take on reprising classic pop bands styles?

I'm only being elitist because they actually deserve to be elitist. Panic at the Shitsco don't.

Haha you gotta love funny faces ... Woo seeing Foo's in May, can't wait hehe any Foo's fan would be jealous of me, i have a setlist from a 'secret' gig written by Mr Grohl himself (including heaps of scribbled corrections lol)

I like Panic at the Shitsco ... only for your pun though, i hate their music

Ohh yeah i'll give you lot another personality: J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr if he hasn't already been mentioned

Grohl's mouth is fucking huge.

MORRISSEY is God

PersianBellyDancer, cheers to Garbage! They're a very nice group of people! Met 'em at a signing in 2001. I told Shirley she was one of my rock goddess idols, and she asks if I was in a band.

"Yeah."
"What's the name?"
"Death by Twinkie (my old Smashing Pumpkins cover band, which I later told Billy about when I interviewed him. He thought it was clever, hehe.)"
"(laughs) You're my kind of girl!"

no offense to bassists, i just say things in super short. he isn't that outstanding on bass and his vocals are not worth anything more than getting the lyrics across.


tony iommi is a great personality in music, his guitar style has become its own living thing, imo. he kicks ozzy's ugly vocals ass.

and dimebag darrel's style is its own thing too, like wow

Did what you mean, is that he's a bassist, but that's really all that's notable about him? He's not an exceptionally good bassist etc... ?

[btw NoDoubt's alright but they shouldntve called themselves ska. and im missing too much!]

No Doubt were frikkin' cool back in the day, they were one of those 90's bands that I jumped around the lounge being a rowdy little toddler to when watching their music videos.

Then Gwen went solo and slut-poppy.

Props on the Frogs mention!

My best friend and I went to see them in like 2000 at this little bar near Cincinnati....we drove about an hour and a half to get there and showed up like 2 hours before the show started....we were so early we roamed in without paying a cover....we were just hanging out watching them set up and stuff (they set up their own gear...no roadies that we saw) and they came over and started talking to us and asked us if we'd ever played there before. we were like "no, man...we're here to see you." They just looked all confused as to why we were there so early, then talked to us for a few more minutes and went on their way. The show was hilarious.
