So who is it? who was it?
Does a walk like Ian Brown or Liam Gallaghers get you into the top slot or does it take a bit more than a walk to place so highly? Is it his brother,Noel with a bit more sense? KLF for burning a million? Bob Geldof? Lennon? kurt cobain? Shaun Ryder?
Name then here and explain why.
John Deacon from Queen. For the shorts.
freddie murcury for having the best moustache in the WORLD and having the voice of a god! (shame he died 😥 )
I BOW DOWN TO YOU
Lemmy or Slash.
/thread
JJ Burnell of the Stranglers...rides Triumph bikes,Black belt 6th dan & a great bass guitarist....
The smiley one off Buck's Fizz
Keith.
Moon, or Richards, Moon for me though.
Prince if you can call him a band member. He's a bell end, sure, but no-one else is that obscenely multi-talented or simply that good live, especially if you get him in a small venue.
Otherwise, Flea. Ain't nothing like watching a good bassist's hands do their work, and ain't no-one plays a bass like Flea.
Kim Deal from the Pixies/Breeders. Anybody from Sonic Youth.
Flea's great & mental etc etc,but he aint cool 8)
Nicky Wire
Well, anyone who can get up on stage in front of tens of thousands of people in an old granny dress and a feather boa.....
Rob Collins (RIP) from the Charlatans.
Lemmy or Slash.
Saw them perform together at Download. Was magic. My vote goes to Fish out of Marillion. He was so cool nobody noticed he couldn't actually sing. Either that or the piano player out of the Sparks. Come to think of it, he actually beats everybody by a country mile.
[i]Flea's great & mental etc etc,but he aint cool[/i]
Hey - you can't wear trousers like that if you're not cool 🙂

Peaches
John 'Speedo' Reis of Drive Like Jehu/Rocket from the Crypt/Hot Snakes/Night Marchers
Buck 65
Bruce Dickinson
Commercial Jet Pilot and International Fencer (Fencist?)!
Huey from Fun Lovin Criminals takes some beating. Billy Idol is up there too.
Bjork had the most stage presence of anyone I've seen, apart from Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips. I remember seeing Aphex Twin playing a live set from the inside of one of those kids plastic houses, whilst loads of teddy bears with rdj faces danced around him. That was pretty cool 😀
bravohotel9er +1
kim deal - ridic
daryl palumbo - Glassjaw
David Yow - Jesus Lizard
rollins
Zack de La Rocha
they dont make front men like they used to
Slash.
Charlie Tuna.
Jagger (on stage)
Margin Walker...thought you'd have gone for Ian MacKaye.............
Forgot about Daryl Palumbo!
Have had tickets for Glassjaw on no less than 4 occasions, but they cancelled on each of them.
Been meaning to ask, is your username a Fugazi reference?
Ian MacKaye and Guy Picciotto to add to the list.
Ha ha ........too obvious ? Can never decide whether Guy is cooler ??
so uncool he's cool ??
Gonna throw ad rock in there as well.
surf mat
He was until he did that very bad dog thing on tv or that pink slips on mtv . both very un cool
Cancelled- just about forgiveable with Daryl
Has tickets once for Tool at Riverside in Newcastle with about 150 people there. Played 4 songs and then stopped as his voice went......
Add Maynard to the list as well.
Glassjaw are ridic
Kerry King 😀
got be keith moon or Hendrix
JJ burnels a good call.
cant think of anyone cooler than Geordie from Killing Joke tho. cooooooooool and the gang that boy 🙂
John Bonham!!!!
Josh Homme
Jimi Hendix
Rollins - just for living it and being so damned intense, but being a really nice guy.
Hendrix.
"I'd like to dedicate this song to the girl in the the 3rd row with the yellow underwear. Yeah, beautiful."
And too many other coolnesses to mention.
Although JJ Burnel also a good shout, unfair advantage being French perhaps 😉
Its a close call between Flavor Flav or Bez
Thurston Moore from the gr8 Sonic Youth
beth gibbons from portishead. thread closed.
Jessie Hughes
Josh Homme
Joey Castillo
Another vote for JJ Burnel - caught a guy standing a few feet from me full in the face with a flying kick off the stage for gobbing on the stripper!
Kid Creole - saw him live in Marbella in 1986, very, very cool dude.

Bryan Ferry (yeah I know, I'm old). So so cool in a dark suit and white shirt. Lounge lizard extraordinaire.
Have seen him a few times now, including first time round when Jerry Hall was on stage.
(Awaits laughing)
Bez.

Black thought of the Roots
seriously you guys have got it wrong. Ron Mael from the Sparks is way cooler than any other band member I have ever seen. A genius 3 decades ahead of his time.

too cool.[/url]
Zappa is undoubtedly the coolest band organiser of all time! Okay, maybe him or George Clinton. A fair post.....
Coolest band member no idea, let the music do the talking.
*Edit, on consideration some folk might rate Bootsy Collins. Coolness is a personal thing after all.....
