This is who Plant and all the rest of them were imitating.

No back flips sparkles flying out brain Johnson’s ass. Just slamming it.

 

[Mailman1971]

Jim Morrison comes to mind...

Dude love Joplin!!! And of course Ann Nancy Wilson. But they seem more ‘band ‘ than old school front men.

Hell yes!!! Watch the film numerous times.
I was a kid when he over dosed.
But absorb it stilll.
‘Not to touch the earth’ one my faves!!

[Fret-Shredder]

Damn... no mention of Ozzy.

 

[John 14:6]

Been reading threads bout lot of 80s lead singers. Roth. Dokken Pearcy...
Love them guys. But to me the real front men were Bon Scott. Robert plant. Brian Johnson.
Roger Daltrey.

No thrills or glam. Haha

When I was in junior high and high school I worshipped Zeppelin, Aerosmith, AC/DCand they were my favorite bands with Zeppelin above all. In my freshman year Van Halen 1 came out and saw them in 78 for my first concert. I love Tyler, Plant, Morrison, Jagger and Bon Scott, but David Lee Roth will always be the greatest frontman in rock history at least in my opinion.

Even Ozzy picked DLR as the best frontman he had ever seen.

Steven Tyler is a good personal friend of Eddie Trunk. You don't have to ask him, he'll tell you.

Man!!! How could I have forgotten Ray Gillen. One of my all time if not all time favorite vocalists. RIP. I would also like to throw Jeff Scott Soto's name in the hat.

What a voice....so much talent. Ray's overuse of his aids-cannon probably doesn't help his legacy.

live music works so much better with stage presence... gotta believe in it when delivering it too. DLR was so good at it.

last weekend, some kids, in a 80's cover band of all things, showed up and played a three hour deal at a resort we were at. the "lead" guitar player, and singer...the front man was just awesome. dude looked the part, with the crazy ass 80's clothes, working the crowd dancing...crowd was digging it. played and sang like shit...but that's not the point.... cat was entertaining. the second guitar player on the other hand...dead ass. stood there with his cargo shorts, nikes, and a salt life hat, like a statue banging out power chords...c'mon man.

Rob Halford
Ronnie James Dio
Bruce Dickinson

Those were the frontmen I saw many times, and lead the pack for me. Especially Halford. Back in his heyday, (British Steel, Screaming for Vengeance, Defenders of the Faith), he was the king. Still is, in my book.

 

[riffsfordaze]

Tom Araya

Clash of the Titans May 23rd 1991 Veteran's Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix AZ sealed the deal

 

[Beyond Black]

Ben Falgoust of Goatwhore is one of the best in the business.

 

[Mailman1971]

Yeah Halford is up the list for me too.
Saw Defenders. Then the turbo tour. Then the one they did 2005.
Never a dull moment.
Other leads female front is Joan Jett. Saw her 3 times. Really rocks it

 

[napalmdeath]

Max Cavalera.

One of my faves ever. Freddy Mercury. Guy was super flamboyant. But hell if he didn’t bring it back then as well.

Freddy was a great actually one of the greatest front men we lost out when he passed away.
