Another edition of the UK mag Classic Rock crashed through my letterbox today. They dedicated many pages to a section on the Top 100 Frontmen.

With each position, they had marks (out of 5) on X-Factor, Voice and Image.

The Top 10 was:

1 Bon Scott (AC/DC) 5 in all sections
(Brian Johnson was only at 32)
2 Freddie Mercury (Queen) " " "
3 Robert Plant (Led Zep) " " "
4 Dave Lee Roth (Van H) top in all but only 3 in voice
(Hagar was down in 28th)
 8)5 Steven Tyler (Aerosmith) 5 in all but voice (4)
6 Ozzy
7 Axl Rose ( G N R)
8 Bruce Dickson (Iron Maiden)
9 Roger Daltrey (The Who)
10 Phil Lynott (Thin Lizzy)

Honestly, Dave, do you really care, or are you just bringing him up to start yet another fued between GNR/VR fans? Roll Eyes Just a question.

Not a bad place...

Oh, and sorry Dave - I saw the top ten names, and thought it was a top ten list, so I thought your comment "Where is Weiland?" was sarcastic, but I see that I just didn't read the post correctly. Sorry.

I don't really pay attention to lists like that anyway. Most of them are trash. (And then there is Rolling Stone....... but I won't EVEN get into that!)

I think it's a very good point.
And something which should have been brought to the attention of Slash, Duff, Matt and Dave.

It is, sorry. I thought that it was only a top ten list, and that you were being an ass by saying "Where is Scott on this list" to be sarcastic and annoying. But seeing that it is a top 100 list, I realize that you simply could have been asking a reasonable question.

Not that really matters what number he (Scott) is at because lists like this are trash. Just because Axl is higher on the list doesn't mean shit. If Slash, Duff, and Matt think he is a better frontman than Axl, I definitely think their opinion is of higher value than that of the people who created this list, as they have worked with both Axl and Scott, and they (CR magazine) most likely have not.

So no one can use this list to prove their opinion as to who is a better frontman. I'm not saying that anyone is, but I'm just saying that because everytime you bring up VR or Scott's name, Dave, it turns into a battle or the GNR and VR fans. So, just saying this in advance.

Yeah, people working with Scott at the moment are more objective as somebody that isn't.....

And we don't know how that list was compiled. It might be readers who voted for the best frontmen of all time....

Say what you want, but Axl is up there with some legendary people, Scott isn't. That's a fact and has nothing to do with opinion.

Axl Rose is the better frontman of them. There's no contest. Scott might be better at the moment, but looking back at their careers, Axl beats him.

How often do you hear people mentioning Robert Plant, Freddie Mercury, Steven Tyler etc in the same sentence as Scott?

If you wanna keep praising Scott you can also say he's better than anybody on that top 10 list because most of them aren't active at the moment. But would you say Scott is the best frontman in the world because of that?  Huh

Maybe you thought Eric Dover and Rod Jackson were better than Axl too because Axl kept a low profile when Snakepit 1 and 2 were around?  hihi

Good to see uncle Axl amongst the very best. David lee Roth on 5th place? Whatever....

I haven't looked at the list, but where the hell is Bono? He should definitely be in the top 5. Then again these rankings never satisfy everybody...
