Most underrated frontman

I was being too harsh. STP is OK but not one of my favorite bands.

Your original opinion was right. They are lame.

How can the most popular guy in the band be underrated? If anything the rythym section of STP is underrated as nobody can think of their names, but everyone knows Scott Weiland.

Alright, you start up a "most underrated rythm section" thread then. We're talking frontmen here. And yeah, everybody knows Scott Weiland, but when you hear people talking about great frontmen, his name never comes up, when I think it should at least be mentioned.

but half the shows isaac would be too completely drunk or effed up on drugs to even perform properly at all and the show would be horrible.

That's what I was thinking too. I saw MM around the time of Moon and Antarctica and all I remember thinking is what a shitty frontman he was.

Great frontman doesn't just mean lead singer of [insert band I really like here]. It needs to be someone with stage presence.

I really don't see how he's underrated. I've always been a fan of modest mouse and enjoyed them the one time I saw them live (probably 4 years ago now) but I've never been impressed with the singing. Maybe you mean his guitar playing. Hes a talented guy, maybe I just don't appreciate his voice.

I guess I mean overall everything... stage presence, writing, musicianship, the way they shape the band, everything.

Pelle from the Hives, aka mini-Mick.

im not a fan of velvet revolver though.

i mean wtf, that one video is pretty much "waah! im a rich rock star and blow money on heroine, my life is difficult"

This is kind of a tough question since frontmen almost always get a disproportionally large amount of credit in relation to the band as a whole, so they are seldom underrated. If a frontman is underrated, the band usually is too. I can't think of very many exceptions.

John Fogerty.

Should be obvious coming from me:

Mike Patton (Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Fantomas.....)
