Best Frontman You've Ever Seen

[Ray Finkle]

Definitely worth the effort. It's kind of funny that a voice like that can come out of such a little guy.

And to think Joey made him look big

Even though I don't know a whole ton of their music, I've always thought Tool would be a great show to catch simply because of Maynard.

Yeah. I just looked it up. Corey coming in at a whopping 5'7" and Joey at an underwhelming 5'3".

Classic Maynard...

I have to agree with this one, too. He's captivating.

As an aside, I just saw Corey Taylor and Slipknot again this weekend in Tampa. Great seats, great show. Slipknot is always a spectacle.

A guy I worked with did the security for that show, said it was crazy.

I saw Smashing Pumpkins and Marilyn Manson this weekend. Marilyn Manson surprised me, though there would be more threatrics (ie Alice Cooper), but guy can sing and does a good job commanding the stage. Billy Corgan through good singer was really not special as the lead act this weekend. Dude can sing, but just didn't seem to command the stage.

I saw the smashing pumpkins a few years ago. I wasn't overly impressed until their encore, which was perfomred entirely using kazoos

Steven Tyler for me, although a darkhorse would be Geoff Tate with Queensryche, especially on the Mindcrime tour when they opened for Def Leppard.

Although, this Sunday evening in nearby Greenville, I get to finally see The Eagles in person. I've seen Henley and Frey solo, but not together. I really don't know who you would say the 'frontman' for The Eagles truly is......either Henley or Frey could eclipse Tyler on my list.

Henley/Frey are now at the top of the list for me, for guys pushing 70, they were pitch perfect for nearly 3 1/2 hours. Incredible.

Wow - did not recognize them at first.
Two alpha dogs in the same band doesn't work.
Don Henley was a rock god.


Very good article re: Eagles:

I was underwhelmed by their performance. I expected it to be much better. Of the bands I have gotten to see of that era, the only band with a worse stage show was NIN. That is because NIN stuff doesn't really translate on stage.

Dave Matthews Band in Tampa tonight. Be there or be a four sided shape with four equal straight sides and four right angles.

Actually 3 alpha dogs because I count Joe Walsh right in there with these two (though JW was not the front man). Incredibly talented band, that's for sure.

It's ok, not everyone's taste in music is perfect.

Seen him a few times. Always a good show. Not a great "frontman" in the sense of this thread, but an entertaining performance.

Alex.

apparent by your choice of Dave Matthews Band.
