Oh and Nick Cave. I would so unspeakable things to Nick Cave.

His wife is gorgeous too

CIaireFraser · 26/02/2022 11:40

do unspeakable things.

I'm all of a tizzy, evidently.

Definitely agree with those who've said:
Michael Hutchence
Eddie Vedder
Axl Rose

Dane Graham 😂 the Lidl knock-off version

Trent Reznor (NIN) or Peter Steel (Type O Negative) - without a doubt

A taxi to Specsavers.

Adam Ant all the way for me. Glad to see that I'm not alone!

(Having said that, I once had a very saucy dream about Jarvis Cocker and have had a soft spot for him ever since!)

BusterGonad · 26/02/2022 11:57

Jarvis Cocker isn't much of a good looking man but he's definitely got appeal. He looks like the type of guy you'd have a great time with.

I used to have a bunch of favourites until I dated a real rockstar (it just happened, I was not seeking one out).

It was not remotely sexy close up. The stench of full tar tobacco 24/7, the scrawny, veiny arms (although you could say it may have been from holding a guitar in the evenings), the cannabis-induced paranoid behaviour, the inability to stick around indoors for even an hour without needing to go outside for a cigarette even when it was really inappropriate and least innocuous of all, the constant stream of fan girls of all ages, shapes and sizes which rendered it impossible to correct all of the aforementioned.

I'll never look at another one again in the same light.

tillytoodles1 · 26/02/2022 12:01

Adam Lambert.

augustusglupe · 26/02/2022 12:01

My first thought was Dave Gahan. 1993 SOFAD era for me OP Wink

Nowayhozay · 26/02/2022 12:04

Paul Weller back in the day, he hasn't aged well though

resipsa · 26/02/2022 12:04

Hutchene. Still recall the shock of hearing about his death as we were driving through Sydney in 97.

That made me properly laugh out loud 🤣🤣

@LazyMareofEastown

"Jon Snow"

I didn't know he was in a band?

@PrettyBluebells

Marc Bolan
You beat me to it!

Freddie Mercury back in the early years of kohl-lined eyes and long, coal-black hair

Adam Lambert agreed
David Bowie in any era
Jarvis Cocker

Feenie · 26/02/2022 12:12

Obviously Adam Ant!

Was supposed to be going to see him in Manchester tomorrow but his tour is postponed because he is ill. Get well soon, Adam Flowers

Feenie · 26/02/2022 12:14

Lisa Bonet hasn't done too badly over the years

They’re not together any more - he was shagging around on her.

Pedallleur · 26/02/2022 12:19

What about Bowie by 2002. He was 50, in good health, teeth fixed. Always stylish and erudite. He was at his peak by then, past all the pop star stuff and secure in himself

Itsnotover · 26/02/2022 12:23

Adam Levine and Freddie Mercury.

OnlyAFleshWound · 26/02/2022 12:28

@LazyMareofEastown come on... look at these

LazyMareofEastown · 26/02/2022 12:31

Axl just doesn't do it for me Only. Even though he ticks all the rock god boxes, he just looks the wrong kind of grubby.

What can I say, my loins are a fickle mistress.

I spent an evening with Axl Rose in the early 90s and I hate to tell everyone this, but he was a sweaty, bad breathed, burping, farting mess. He stank.

"I spent an evening with Axl Rose in the early 90s and I hate to tell everyone this, but he was a sweaty, bad breathed, burping, farting mess. He stank."

I feel so vindicated 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Also, 🤢.

Also super keen to know the circumstances of this evening Claire??!

Each to their own...sceptical face

this is slightly outing but my ex (very long-term relationship) was the absolute spitting image of Axl when we got together. To the extent that he was mistaken for him once or twice.

We split up 15 years ago but he's aged a LOT better than Axl. I think perhaps Axl is his portrait of Dorian Gray...

(Meanwhile I'm a doppelganger of Amy Winehouse, so obviously I'm doing the ageing for us both Sad)
