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.

opinionatedmother · 26/09/2009 00:12

yes - it's like you imagine preganancy erases your previous personality.

suddenly all those mad, bad and velvet clad rock chicks wear boden...

I was in a band a few years back and we actually supported Machine Head, Fear Factory + a few other metal bands ...we had an album out and were unceremoniusly dropped and got nowhere! It seems ages ago now that i'm a mum of 2! But I have the bass guitars and tattoos to remind me of my hardrockin' days!

opinionatedmother · 26/09/2009 00:14

though i have difficulty fancying blokes in gimp masks.

opinionatedmother · 26/09/2009 00:16

if it makes you feel better citybranch there are plenty of blokes out there who did similar and don't have two kids or the contract/ rock n rol life.

Haha I bought my DS his first Boden item this week! But we have a pic of him at about 6 months old wearing a Dead Kennedys shirt, so he maintains his rock cred. But i think I'M getting old and boring (at 26! )

AC/DC are no one's bitches.Not even Alice Cooper's!

I love Rammstein,but for me they only have demi god status.

I have to add Lemmy.No sex appeal,obviously,but that isn't what makes one a rock god.

City Branch, (I'm boring and mumsy at 28 so don't worry)what were your band called? DH used to be in a Slipkont tribute band a few years back and I found the boiler suit the other day. DS listened to the knot, Soil and Disturbed etc etc whilst he was in the womb so is used to it.

I thought of Lemmy before but daren't get the puter out cos fat pointy, pokey, touch, touch fingers will be all over the keyboard.

LOL MetalMums unite!!!

Is Val Kilmour sp? allowed in his Jim Morrison role? He was an uncanny resemblance to him and didn't he wear Jim's original troosers?

BUT only as Jim? Even though he will never compare.

Motley Crue, Yay or nay? I'm not so sure.

Bellared · 26/09/2009 21:32

chegirl · 26/09/2009 21:33

Bellared · 26/09/2009 21:34

There are many from about 20 years ago on this

Bellared · 26/09/2009 21:37

Jim seems to be in the lead.

Personally I wouldn't count Motley Crue as rock gods.
