Default the greatest front man ever!

whats your thoughts...

mine is and probably allways will be Freddie Mercury... there is no one that comes close to his stage presence...

never has a single man had a sold-out wembley stadium in the palm of his hand.... other than Freddie.

working in the industry myself means i see alot of shows, i just wish i could have seen one of his.

its a hard one to be honest imo..

you have your likes of freddie mercury/ robbie williams (forgive me lord for i have sinned saying that name) /mick jagger etc who are great entertainers on stage going around all theatrical and that but then you have your front men like liam gallagher/ian brown for expamples who can just stand there and have such a stage presence aswell

i wasnt really a fan of queen tbh so i would say mick jagger or paul weller or liam gallagher personally

We'll if we're talking frontmen without guitars (free to roam) then i'd say the man that:

- Took a flying leap off his ramp on the custom built stage and broke his ankle
-Changes clothes for every song
- Has a steering wheel as the bottom of his long mic stand
- Jumped in the crowd and smacked someone as security weren't listening
- Had the spotlight on him even though Slash was next to him
- and had Queen/Freddie as his favourite

Axl Rose (Hardly ever stood still during a song, did fuck up a few concerts though to be fair.)
Freddie Mercury (Legend, R.I.P)
Bruce Dickenson (Never really got into Maiden but got a few albums and vids now)
James Hetfield (During Seek And Destroy Live Shit in mexico, to one bloke in the crowd - "Hey, you having fun man ? Cheer up fuck )
Mick Jagger

Not really my thing but Bruce Sprinsteen deserves a mention.

Or more up my street, the people I have seen and thought were great:

1, Steven Tayler
2, James Hetfield
3, Robert Plant


Or other type of front men i.e not singers, has to be angus young.
