MUTE BUTTONS STILL ON?! Then here we go!
The frontmen for your consideration:
**VINCE NEIL--The lone white-blonde haired deviant in a band of black-haired deviants...who turned out to be the most deviant of them all! Now that's a frontman! Vince is easily one of the TRUE FRONTMEN in rock! If I could be a frontman...I'd want to look like 80s Vince Neil!(esp. the "Shout At The Devil" look!)
**BRET MICHAELS--Forget about the ever-present headband or battered cowboy hat he wears these days! Remember when his blonde mane flew freely! When you first saw the "Look What The Cat Dragged In" album and said, 'cool, the new Vixen album's out...' (just kidding...) Poison shows are always a rock n' roll party...and Bret is always the perfect host!
**TOM KEIFER--With his Steven Tyler-ish look and style, the Cinderella frontman earns major kudos for handling the keyboards and most of the guitar solos while never sinking into the background like today's "frontmen".
**DAVID LEE ROTH--He set the standard for the 80s frontman! He wasn't just the lead singer like most before him. He was THE SHOW. The jumps, the splits, the acrobats...The long blonde hair(R.I.P.)! Roth Rules!
**JOE ELLIOT--The Def Leppard frontman makes the list for starting the Union Jack trend. You get every kid around wearing a Union Jack tank top because they saw you wear it in a video--That's a Look That Kills! That's not the ONLY reason he's on the list, but it's a definite stand-out.
**DAVID COVERDALE--Let's face it, Whitesnake wasn't an actual band...they were David Coverdale and his latest line-up of musicians. As long as he's there, then Whitesnake is fine. That being said, his style and look was a stand-out. Check out any of the videos--That's how to be classy-glam.
**AXL ROSE--It takes a real man to rock a KILT!! Only Axl was crazy and kick-ass enough to pull that off. (go ahead...try to imagine Vince, Bret or David Lee in a kilt...doesn't work...) The I-put-on-the-first-thing-I-saw style, the serpant-dance(although I think of it as The Monkees' Davey Jones dance), the gang-banger headband...Axl was bad-ass. To bad he was just a BIGGER ASSHOLE.
**JON BON JOVI--The opposite of the bad-ass Axl. The good boy of metal. The look and style that had the girls swooning(and still does!)and the guys envious. The hair alone made him worthy of being on this list. That was some kick-ass hair he had!
**HONORABLE MENTIONS(Not officially on the list, but are noteworthy: Steven Tyler(he, like KISS, just seems to iconic to be on the list), Sebastian Bach, Jani Lane.
FINAL INSTALLMENT NEXT--The Drummers.
