Who is yours? Your top rock god.

When you think of rock/metal who do you picture? Jimi Hendrix,Freddie Mercury,Ozzy,Mick Jagger etc. Not that it's restricted to singers of course.

I'm surprised that there haven't been more mentions of Jim Morrison.

ah yes, fit, tousled, the beauty of Apollo with the bad-boy attitude of Byron.

i really had quite a thing for him, sometime around puberty.

Gilmour is more of serious thing - there is a danger you could live with him.

TheHeadbangingWombat · 24/09/2009 21:39

I can't quite imagine that.

Though would living with a rockstar be such a bad thing? Think of the money you'd have.

ah yes, but gilmour strikes me as more the kind of dude who would..

  1. be considerate
  2. not shag that many groupies
  3. only do drugs at appropriate times

whereas Mo'son would just be an abusive fuckwit. but very pretty to look at.

mrsruffallo · 24/09/2009 21:49

Wot no Slash
And I think Jim Morrison seemed a prat

TheHeadbangingWombat · 24/09/2009 21:51

Surely considerate and doesn't shag groupies are good things?

OP posts:
TheHeadbangingWombat · 24/09/2009 21:53

Slash is good but not quite god like I think. Well perhaps a demigod.

OP posts:
mrsruffallo · 24/09/2009 21:57

Okay not Slash
But I win hands down with this one

TheHeadbangingWombat · 24/09/2009 22:06

LMAO.You're right.You win.

What about Bolan, Bowie, Jon Bon Jovi as demi gods (not that I particularly like their music, Bon Jovi excepted) - do they deserve a place? And why no women? Joplin anyone?

TigerDrivesAgain · 24/09/2009 22:11

Bruce is supreme in every way but as a rock god, Robert Plant every time.

Mind you, a happy but platonic friendship was ruined c1979 by my mate saying "has anyone ever told you you have lovely hair, Tiger: you look just like Robert Plant". Yeah, right - every 17 yo girl's dream....

TheHeadbangingWombat · 24/09/2009 22:13

Bon Jovi? Bon Jovi? A rock god?

OP posts:
mrsruffallo · 24/09/2009 22:16

Bon Jovi is not a rock God. I like Marc Bolan but rock God he isn't

TheHeadbangingWombat · 24/09/2009 22:16

Roadie to the rock gods perhaps.

OP posts:
TheHeadbangingWombat · 24/09/2009 22:17

I have to throw in the rest of AC/DC here particuarly the late great Bon Scott.

OP posts:
Squishabelle · 24/09/2009 22:18

Tiger it could have been worse - I was told I had hair/and looked like Ian Anderson!

Bon Jovi - not even a teensy weensy little demi-god?!!!!!!!

TheHeadbangingWombat · 24/09/2009 22:19

Roadie.

OP posts:
Squishabelle · 24/09/2009 22:19

Not Rock Gods lol - just little demi-gods!

TheHeadbangingWombat · 24/09/2009 22:20

Are you suggesting that AC/DC are just demigods?

OP posts:
Squishabelle · 24/09/2009 22:28

Wombat NOOOOOOOOOOO! Was referring to Bolan etc. ACDC firmly up there as full gods!. Have liked Brian for years ever since his Geordie days - used to see them almost every week.

TheHeadbangingWombat · 24/09/2009 22:31

I did wonder.I'm very that you got to see Brian while he was still in Geordie.

Squishabelle

Squishabelle · 24/09/2009 22:35

God - straighteners would have soooo transformed my life back then. Plantys hair was lush mind!

spiderlight · 24/09/2009 22:36
