Zint Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Alice Cooper.I grew up on his music since I was about 5, 32 years ago. I just think he is amazing, amazing music, and an amazing radio host. What I love about his Nights With Alice Cooper is he plays so much stuff you dont normally hear on the radio.Alice is a close second for me!VERY close!

wasted Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 (edited) Matt Sorum.The hair, the 'tood, the drum solos! Sorum sings Patience! I can see Sorum going solo sort of like Dave Grohl.After the Road Crew Reunion, Sorum will have nowhere to ply his trade so the logical step for him would be to go solo with him fronting a Cult meets VR type of band.Drum Up Some Chicks - Matt Sorum and The Soft Perms Edited May 21, 2008 by wasted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBear Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 i could never answer that..Yeah, being so into GN'R the first instinct I have is Axl, Slash, or Izzy, but there are so many other great songs out there that I also enjoy listening to. GN'R fills a certain void, other bands fill other voids. It's a big world and I don't always feel like listening to the same artist.I'd say dave grouhl or bit corgan I'd Axl, kid rock and slash. Its to hard to answer.It looks that way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FunkyMonk Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Beck Hansen.Super-awesome choice. I'm surprised no one has mentioned the genius that was Frank Zappa, terribly brilliant and amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laughingman Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Axl Rose.I've always found I can relate to what he's sayin in his songs, so when I have a shitty day I drift away and put em on, cause I don't really have shit else so that shit helps when I'm depressed, I even got a tatto of his name across my chest.
