What rock star would you like to be?

pickarooney

Everyone would like to be a rock star; that much goes without saying. The only question is which rock star?

I get that playing in a band would be incredible and I'd be tempted to pick lead singer with some sentinel of the pantheon of rock but that **** could get old real fast. I'd be happier as a solo artist I reckon. So I'd probably be Beck. I could handle being effortlessly cool and throwing out albums that sound like I didn't even get round to having toast and a shower before I wrote them. I'd probaby deconvert from Scientology but other than that I'd probably swap with the guy for 6 months.

David Hasselhoff Brian May. Self-made guitars, rocking hair, astrophysicist, all round genius.

dr.bollocko

I'd be that pink floyd dude. Only not gay.

Jimmy Bottlehead

Freddie Mercury.

seamus

Dave Grohl. Awesomeness personified. And he's not a dick.

jonnyfingers

David Bowie.

Ghandee

Bon Scott.

The man was a LEGEND at the singing. (Bon WAS ACDC imho)
Plus, check out some of the earlier videos where he is wearing skin tight jeans!
The dude had a tool on him like a jumbo breakfast Baguette!!!









Not that mine is small mind!:o

Chris Martin just to shaft Gwyneth

Lando Griffin

Mikey from Boyzone.
Unlimitless talant.
Stunning good looks (bad boy image).
Access to millions of female fans.
Loads of money.
Ability to make loads of nosh from a best friends passing.

Sanjuro

AH answer: Bono. So then I could shoot myself in the face and rid the world of my sanctimonious bullshit.

Proper answer: Mike Patton. The man is talented more than any one man should be.

jimthemental

Slash or else Keith Richards, a pair of immensely cool destructive bastards. What a life to live.

Wompa1

I'd be in a boyband rather than an actual rockstar.

Easy lays, you don't even have to sing live you just move about a bit.

Sure I'd have no dignity but I'd be so deep in the clunge I wouldn't care! That and knowing my music annoys millions would also be a nice little private pleasure.

Brendog

Jim Morrison.

If my voice goes then I still have a 178 IQ to fall back on.

Sharkey 10

Rory Gallagher , couldnt stand to be one of those poser type rockstars. Most of them dont really care about what they are churning out night after night.

I always thought rockstars were the ones who got the groupies . Looking at the audiences at boyband concerts youd want to be careful . Its usually 11 year olds or mad oul ones. Surely people in between have some sense

scientific1982

Henry Rollins or Phil Anselmo.

Kimono-Girl

I'm a girl.....does that mean i have a choice of Pink or Debbie Harry?

kiad

Why do all you people want to be somebody else? Why can't you be happy with who you are?

Good point. I'll change mine to Dave Grohl so...

I'd imagine Take That and Boyzone are hitting girls in their young to mid 20's though!

He died very young and only enjoyed fame for about 4 or 5 years. Even then he didn't really enjoy it because he was in a "purple haze" the entire time.

No, just Debbie Harry

ClutchIt

Derek

GavRedKing

Cliff Burton

If he was alive that is, he came across as a cool, laid back dude and had an interest in all types of music, coupled with the ability he had to write songs and his playing ability and style, it would be a pretty sweet deal.

Fizman

Justin Bieber. So I could score as many hot teens as I like.

/paedo

d.anthony

Travis Barker.

Or W. Axl Rose

Lars Ulrich

So that when people come up to me and tell me i'm a **** drummer i can laugh in their faces and show them my couple of hundred million in the bank!

allanb49

For the debauchary and cause last night i was listening to a load of Queen - Freddie Mercury.

Dave Grohl would be a very close second, say would be a good laught to have a pint with

Susie quatro was pretty kick ass back in the day and kind of hot.

Is pink not a pop star?

Blackhorse Slim

John Mayer.

Great guitar player, bluesman, and have you seen the audiences he plays to?

I dunno. I'd prefer not to be dead.

Or gay.

I'll go with Danny Carey from Tool. Probably the best drummer in a popular band in the world. Seems very content and happy. Can enjoy relative anonymity in most places if he wanted I'd imagine.

Also Bruce Springsteen. Seems very content and could jam with any musician in the world if he felt like it, I would say.

Neither of the above went through the 'Drink and Drugs Hell' which I suppose would not be very nice.

Josh Homme aka The Ginger Elvis
