With the presidential primaries now upon us, Rock.com, the fastest-growing Rock music website, has enlisted the help of its growing community to compile a slate of alternate presidential candidates from the world of music to finally build that bridge to the 21st century before 1000 points of light shine through the hole in the ozone.

"We wanted to raise awareness about the upcoming elections, but still have some fun doing it," said Chief Executive Officer Steve Newman. "Some of the candidates selected by our members have a history of political activism dating back decades and could have a future in politics, and some would be just plain scary."

"The community of Rock.com users has voted for 10 musicians they feel best share their vision for a better America and demonstrate the leadership skills needed to end war and famine and usher in a new era of peace and prosperity," said Election Coordinator Sam Vasquez. "If not, at the very least, they can play a kick ass guitar solo while the Capitol burns to the ground."

You can visit Rock.com polling headquarters online at http://www.rock.com/election/ and get a glimpse of the candidate profiles along with user comments.

Here is the list of the winning Rockers: -0- 1. Billie Joe Armstrong (Green Day) 2. Bono (U2) 3. Marilyn Manson 4. Ozzy Osbourne (Black Sabbath) 5. Ted Nugent 6. Pete Wentz (Fall Out Boy) 7. Gerard Way (My Chemical Romance) 8. Axl Rose (Guns and Roses) 9. Bruce Springsteen 10. Gene Simmons (Kiss)

#1, 6, and 7 aren't rockers, but homos who yelp into the microphone while taking a walk on the brown side.

Wrong section.

can an irish be a us president? ???


can they? ??? they are mostly vocalists...


3 :yes:

what about bon jovi???

nicely said.....  ??? you took the words right outta my mouth......i dont even know what these dudes are doing here...amateurs...  : ok:

naah, bono can't be president and neither can ozzy..? : ok:
also i wouldn't love having ted nugent as the president of USA :hihi: (actualy i would hate having axl as the president too)

and as someone said # 1, 6 and 7 don't deserve being on this list :rofl:


yes what about him?, don't get it either :P

Ted is a raging Republican and we have had quite enough of that!

I agree with the other 3 listed, they just are not worthy!

Axl in 2008!

and they thought government couldn't get anything done before

Yeah, Axl for president 'cause he's a man who knows how to get things done.

Let's just imagine the cabinet:

Tommy-VP
Robin-Sect. of State
BBF-Sect. of Interior
Pitman-Sect of Defense
Dizzy-Homeland Security
Fortus-Speaker of the House
Frank-Atty Gen.

And Jarmo for Ambassador!

 :P

Now here is a thread I can identify with.  ;D

Haha, that would be great, showing up two hours late at events on the campaign tour, special guest speakers and supporters like Bubbles and Bach, KFC bucket wearing weirdos and some hyped up midgets, no show for the acceptance and the swearing in of duty, bills with tentative release dates. refusing to speak to other members of the UN until they sign contracts making him President Of The World. "Thanks to the lame ass Secret Service, I'm going home"

lmao :rofl: that is for damn sure

the ones i'd for sure vote for is Gene, Ted, Axl, and Bruce, in that order.

seriously though i think either Gene or Ted would make a good President :yes:


:lmao: all of that made me laugh except for the remark about Buckethead, not cool :no: :P :rofl:

Billie Joe of green day is not a rocker??!!, What the fuck are you dumbasses smokin!!?? If you can't at least respect green day as a solid rock in roll band with balls, then you don't know shit. IMO

Thanks for your opinion. I would consider accepting Green Day as 'rockers' in the Dookie days, but American Idiot is a pop album regardless if you think it's good or not. And Billie Joe and the boys are exploiting the whole emo/scene/hipster trend like it's their job. In my opinion they're posers. Posers posing as poets. I know 6 power chords too, does that me a rocker? I bet all these teeny-bopping motherfucks would think so.

Afterall if you wear black or makeup you're so edgy and original. And did I forget looking like you are dead makes you 'super hawt'?

If Axl were president, all presidental work would have to take place between 3 am and 8 am :hihi: 

Green day isn't to bad a band but there image is so.......poserry and NOT cool at all :no: thats why i find it best to listen to them on the radio and NOT look at them.

:peace:

Yes...but on the bright side, if they were president, we could have a reason to assassinate them.

There are 13 tuesdays left in the year, and I will unveil my federal budget proposal on one of them.

The president had this to say earlier today in a message from the White House...

"Terrorists can suck my dick."

is the president merck?

Good point...  Maybe he's the press secretary 'till he gets fired...

Billie Joe is a Libertarian.

There are only two rockers out there that I am aware of that might make decent presidents: Tom Morello or Serj Tankian.

AXL for president just sounds right....with the braids, tattoos, and go-T I'm sure he'd be a hit with all the old/young people out there..

now thats what im talkin about !
