Was talking to some friends the other night and we had a cool discussion regarding the following questions....just curious what the GNR community thinks......

1-Since the UYI tour ended, who, if anyone, has stepped up to be the next big frontman/rockstar since Axl?  And I don't mean who has been popular...but really embraced the moniker (sp) of ROCK STAR!!!! 

2-What rock band out there right now is the biggest?  Are there any "BIG" bands now? Or is it just a lot of one hit wonders with tons of indie type rock bands out there?

It seems like rock musicians were more showy and wild in the '80s and early '90s than today. No one really comes to mind, except for maybe Korn and Kid Rock, but he hasn't been very present lately, that I'm aware of.

Probably have to agree in terms of rock star status.. after Axl there was Kurt for a year or so.. then the Gallagher brothers really were the biggest thing (when I was living in the UK) for a few years there.

As far as being a "rock star", the only ones that come to mind ("since Axl") are Josh Todd from 'Buckcherry', M.Shadows from 'Avenged Sevenfold', and mostly, even though I disagree with the man, Marilyn Manson...

Well let's be honest, the biggest band in the world is U2 by far and Bono is no doubt the biggest rock star and the planet. Do you mean like who's the biggest bad boy rocker? I mean if you're looking for the closest comparison to Axl in terms of attitude and stuff it's gotta be Liam Gallagher and Oasis.

Other huge bands right now are RHCP and Greenday. I'd say RHCP are bigger though. They have a more diverse following where as Greenday seems to be mostly younger people. Though 2005 was pretty damn big for Greenday.

U2, Aerosmith, RHCP, etc. don't count, they were all around before Guns...I have to say Oasis and Limp Bizkit.

Yes, Limp Bizkit ! Fred Durst was (is not any more, it seems) one of the few frontmen to generate a "rockstar" hype and controversy.

I would say Bono is the biggest followed by Liam as well.

On a side note, what happened to your awesome green tuna fish picture you had?

That was pretty sick!

I'm going to go with Marilyn Manson. He pretty much fulfilled all the obligations for obtaining rock star status.

You gotta recognize that since Axl and Slash, there havent been ROCK STARS that reach that standard... KORn is dead, Kid rock is dead, and no one really cares...

Hmm, a mainstream frontman with charisma and integrity? Trent Reznor comes to mind.

That was my answer to all my friends.  For the dude who said Korn and Kid Rock....eh...i don't know.  When you have to call yourself "the american badass"...you really aren't that much of a bad ass Smiley

And Korn were never really THAT big if you ask me.  Decent band...but their last few discs have been pretty dull if you ask me.

If I HAD to pick....I'd prob say Manson - but only if i HAD to!!!

I absolutely agree. You can argue about his songs and moves, but he's one hell of a rockstar.
