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 heard that Robert Plant is really lovely and down to earth.
He had been on holiday somewhere and there was a delay with the plane but he shared his sandwiches and crisps with a family who had restless children.

These guys

Awesome rock

TheHeadbangingWombat · 25/09/2009 11:37

Alice Cooper would have to go under demi-gods for the moment though I think. He isn't quite up there with the true greats is he?

That's a lovely story.

I prefer my rock stars down to earth.A big attitude and ego on stage is fine but I think it's better if it's toned down when they're not performing.

Not in my opinion--Alice would reign supreme over the rock gods. He's be the Rock Zeus up on Mount Rock Olympus.

The other rock Gods would be Alice Coopers bitches.

2shoes · 25/09/2009 22:25

oh Alice is so good

Bellared · 25/09/2009 23:04

These would not get it but are funny
Steel Panther

What about:

hubba hubba

but with longer hair

What about Ozzy? Isn't he up there with Alice?

TheHeathenOfSuburbia · 25/09/2009 23:07

Hmm. Good thread. I am with LittleWhiteWolf on Alice Cooper (he's also really lovely on his planet rock show!).
And Jim Morrison, surely, laid the foundation for any subsequent rock-god-ness.

But surely there must be some young rock gods, as squishabelle says, i fear we may just be old farts and not aware of them. I'm going to think about this. I may need some more wine for inspiration. And an ipod....

Its Mike Patton BTW and the other with the septum piercing is Robb Flynn from Machine Head. Sorry, I forgot to put the names on just in case. Too busy texting DH.

halfcut · 25/09/2009 23:11

in a down with the emos kinda way

Bellared · 25/09/2009 23:12

Alice Cooper is like the cool dad.

And another, Sinister Gates from Avenged Sevenfold although M Shadows isnt bad either

V.Cool thread. It's nice to know there are mums on here who are into our kind of music.

2shoes · 25/09/2009 23:14

Bellared although I agree tha mr gates is ....a god
m shadows is his boss

Bellared · 25/09/2009 23:14

Gerrard Way? His hair changes as much as mine did!

mostly for the physique but this pic isnt that good (Rammstein)

2shoes · 25/09/2009 23:16

bellard who are Ramstein, ds was talking about them , but I have never heard of them

TheHeathenOfSuburbia · 25/09/2009 23:18

Ozzy, yeah, though he was never really sexy, no? And surely a bit of sex appeal needs to be thrown into the mix of a Rock God? Mind you, if we're having AC/DC...

Halfcut, obviously Gerard wins hands down on the sex appeal front, when I read the thread title I thought of him straight off. Though truth be told, he's a bit... nerdy to be a true god of rock, with his comic books, marriage & baby, and not drinking...

Bellared · 25/09/2009 23:19

They are German and noisy but I really like them, especially loud to annoy the noisy neighbours who do DIY when DH has been on nights

Bellared · 25/09/2009 23:21

We could stick a bag on Ozzy's head? He is defo NOT sexy and not a 10 to 2er either.

He he, my dad took my mum to see AC/DC before I was born and told her it was The Temptations or someone like that!

2shoes · 25/09/2009 23:21

Bellared you do realise you wil have to fight personalclown for synster gates

halfcut · 25/09/2009 23:21

my ds's rock god

AngeChica · 25/09/2009 23:21

Slightly younger....

Dave Grohl.

Perry Farrell.

The oldies are the best though. Young Ozzy and Robert Plant fo sho.

TheHeathenOfSuburbia · 25/09/2009 23:22

All I know of Rammstein is this slightly disturbing video they keep showing on Kerrang TV.

Bellared · 25/09/2009 23:22

2shoes, that's fine I have a list so she can have first dibs on the 'Gates..

2shoes · 25/09/2009 23:24

halfcut · 25/09/2009 23:24
