For me, hands down - Floyd

Never got a chance to see them before they broke up. Odd, considering all the acid and shrooms I used to drop.....

Ummm yeah...I Guess I'd have to say Pink Floyd as well....as long as it's the "Wall" show.

I'd love to see the Smashing Pumpkins again. But I'd rather it be in the Siamese Dream days, instead of Mellon Collie when I saw them and they acted like total rock star snobs.

Floyd or the Doors.

I'm thankful I've seen several of my favorites in concert, so I won't have too many regrets. I would like to have seen Pink Floyd, but I'm not sure exactly when. Early 1970s?

Pre 1984 VanHalen. My first concert at 9 years old was VH the 1984 tour. Amazing and seeing boobies at 9 was a plus.

I got a bunch. Woody Herman and his Third Herd, that would be great. Also, The Misfits. And whatsisname Horowitz the pianist... I know, he's not a rock band, but he was a genius. And Glen Gould performing the Goldberg Variations.

And Black Sabbath with RJD, the Mob Rules tour. Heavy.

Maybe Elvis.

Wow, that takes me back. Great band.

For me it's Catherine Wheel, or the Jellyfish. Grant Lee Buffalo was a great band too. Any of those would be great.

Brian Setzer one his own with a big band is alot different then that 3 piece sound, good just different.

Axl Rose was one of THE best damn frontmen in history. Love him or hate him, it's a fact. He just was an asshat, and that ruined it.

Oh yeah, Men Without Shame was an awesome song!

Earl Slick's solos in that are so cool. Too bad Rhino hasn't re-released their albums. They did a great cover of "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress" too.

Yeah. If Lennon had lived long enough and they could have put their legal disputes aside,maybe they could have done some type of acoustic unplugged sessions similar to the ones you used to see on MTV.

Seriously, that's the best frontman you can come with? A squirming, nasally little worm?

Their songs were great, but he was and will always be a weird little douchebag. He did a duet with a very gay Elton John for chrissakes. Ugh.

I'd say Diamond Dave, Bon Scott, Robert Plant, Jim Morrison, Freddy Mercury, Roger Daltry, Ozzy Ozbourne all have a great deal more personality than Axl, who enjoyed but 2 decent albums and 15 minutes of fame.

Broke up bands that I DID see.

Alice In Chains
Soundgarden
Stevie Ray Vaughn on the last tour.
Pantera
Guns n Roses first tour, met Duff Kagan, cool guy
Deep Purple
Def Leppard, played soccer with them.
Poison, met the drummer, dick.

I probably missed a few more.

Here is another one that most of you guys wont get, but the Misfits with Glenn Danzig, I waited outside in a bizard and they cancelled in 82. I was 12 years old at the time.

No, I can come up with other frontmen too. But like I said, love him or hate him he was one of the best frontmen. When his ego and asshattery didn't get in the way. We're talking about stage presence, and not whether or not he's a "weird little douchebag."

Ok, whatever. He turns you on, and that's obvious.

I saw them in concert. He wiggled back and forth like a woman who has to piss, he got drunk, and he couldn't sing for shit.

On some planet, that's charisma. Not my planet tho.
