Ok...we were talking on tour about great front men...great singers can be another thread...they aren't always the same!
I remember as a very young kid seeing a punk festival in Santa Monica. Some of the frontmen in ONE weekend included:
Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys) Lux Interior (The Cramps, RIP) Stan Ridgeway (Wall of Voodoo) Stiv Bators (Dead Boys and Lords of the New Church RIP) Howard Devoto (Buzzcocks/Magazine) David Thomas (Pere Ubu)
I saw all those front men at one fest, in one weekend...wondering if there are even that many great front men around today worldwide?! These guys were fearless and totally original.
So who are the great frontmen still out there doing it today? I submit:
JD Wilkes (I know...but it's true...the guy is great every single night) Mike Patton David Yow *(hmm...my top 3 all have one guitar player in common...hmm) The guy from The Gallows (Can't recall his name) Eugene Hutz (Gogol Bordello) Ernie Locke (Nervous Turkey, Tenderloin) Nic Roulette (Hillbilly Casino) Tom Waits (still can destroy frontmen a third his age)
I know I am missing some...a bunch in fact!
