Hat Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Sippe was making the point he knew I meant, nothing more. You made a judgement because you could see someone was 16 and from Ohio, I did the same to you so you could see that it was pretty stupid. The end. In actually find it hilarious that you just did the same thing that she did, and she just ranted away about how naive you were. Trap SUCCEEDED.

haze015 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Heeey, I'm not an idiot! It just took me a couple of issues to realise it wasn't as good as everyone said it is! I still had to soil my reputation sometimes by buying it whenever there was a band featured I wanted to read about though :'( Buy me a pint and I might reconsider. I take pride in having never purchased NME or any other music magazine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LyraSilvertongue Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Hey, less of the 'middle aged woman' you lot. Middle age doesn't start till 55 these days. And I'm not just saying that because I'm 39. Oh no, I'm really not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blype Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Geez, thought this would be up by now. Anyway, NME wants to know who the greatest frontman/frontwoman is. http://www.nme.com/ratemy/205334/greatest-frontmen-and-women/item/205484#undefined Matt is winning by 0.01 last I checked, so get voting! Also, the best album of the last 15 years. Both Absolution and OoS are there. http://www.nme.com/ratemy/242849/best-albums-of-the-past-15-years/item/246468#2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 The list is pretty strange so far. Some great musicians but I wouldn't say all of them are amazing frontmen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hat Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 so get voting! Why? It hasn't even been a year since they last had this exact poll. What's the point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Sammy! Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Bellamy's a terrible frontman. The closest he gets to crowd communication is "this is an old song", he does absolutely nothing to attempt to get the crowd going and he stands still a lot of the time. It irks me a little seeing he seems to be a very different person outside a gig setting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExogenesisP1 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Why? It hasn't even been a year since they last had this exact poll. What's the point? I think we need to be careful not to gain a bad reputation in the terms of over voting. Or is it too late . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I hate frontmen who're more interested in trying to make crowd to stupid things instead of actually singing. Jared Leto is the perfect example of this.

I like Jared and 30STM but sometimes I just wish he'd sing the bloody song I'm surprised Freddie Mercury isn't closer to the top though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec Ferris Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Which is a good thing. Personally I hate frontmen who're more interested in trying to make crowd to stupid things instead of actually singing. Jared Leto is the perfect example of this. I find that varies. Matt's awesome because he gets on and tears things up (though I wouldn't put him in a top ten of frontmen, Mercury, Plant, Cobain et al are just too good). Ditto with Chino Moreno of Deftones and the guys in Mastodon. Viz talkative frontmen, I found Guy Garvey and Jarvis Cocker very entertaining. Though that may be because, unlike Leto, they have abundant humility and wit (and when they sing are superb at it). I see what you mean with "getting the crowd to do stupid things" having been caught between 2 walls of death (or should that be in a wall of death) at BMTH at Reading. Although I do hope one day to be "jumping the fxck up!" at Corey Taylor's command along with several thousand others... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banksy. Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I love quite a few of the bands on there, but I don't think any of those are my favourite 'frontmen', as such. Writing good music and playing well doth not always a good frontman make. When I think of a good frontman, I think of someone like Guy Garvey, Josh Homme, Pelle Almqvist or Chino Moreno. One of those people who has a good balance between talking to the crowd, hyping up the crowd, playing well, and being interesting to watch. EDIT: I guess Brandon, Grohl, and Albarn are pretty good. EDIT TWO: Yeah, I didn't realise that there were frontmen that weren't on the list Zach De La Rocha is pretty awesome. No Jeff Mangun though.
