Well im big rock fan..and listen to so many bands..lemme jus run u throught the top 5 rock faces according to me...
Bruce Dickinson :
This guy is absolute treat to listen to . Lead singer of Iron Maiden the energy that he has with him on the stage is simply amazing. Apart from tat his voice is just one in a million. Dickinson possess genuine power and melody and has altered his voice to being more guttural and raw for songs such as Fear Of the Dark(FOD) , Hallowed Be Thy Name etc.. Apart from being a singer and a writer he’s also a pilot and pretty good at his favorite sport namely fencing. FOD has over the years become a cult metal song and is one of the most requested songs.Here’s to u Bruce..SCREAM FOR ME…..!!!!
He’s the most prominent face of Metallica. One true rockstar..this guy jus exudes energy when he’s on stage and gets the crowd going with his gruff and extreme voice.A fellow who takes no rubbish from anyone and has a great attitude. manipulates the puppets according to his wish, provides the fuel for entertainment and turns the page every time you think he’s done. Showed the door to Mustaine and carries the band single handedly on his shoulder. At times accused of being to arrogant..but this bugger knows truly knows how to rock..so apart from all that ..all I can say is..NOTHING ELSE MATTERS…
Talk about grunge rock n the first name that comes to you is NIRVANA and the first name that comes after that is Mr. Cobain. The true face of grunge rock and of Nirvana . They were the ones who popularized grunge rock . The songs were written by kurt himself and he didn’t believe in making things complex…he made the lyrics as simple as possible and this is evident in the smash hit Smells like teen spirit which broke all records and the album Nevermind is one of the top selling albums of all time. He took grunge rock to different level altogether and entertained the crowd with weird antics on stage which included a dope show n wreckage of all the guitars n drums on stage..He was cool in his own way and inspite of his demise his SPIRIT lives on…
This is the famous combo that took Led Zep to dizzying heights. Page with his amazing riffs n Plant with a voice which he modulate in any manner he wanted to made Led Zep one of the all time great bands in rock history. Led Zep’s music is such that it’ll make you high even if you aren’t doped and that’s what great about the music that they made. Jimmy page could make the guitar speak and the riffs that he played just makes nod your head till you just doze off. Led zep has been one of the most copied bands and they will be right at the top among any rock fans list. after all they showed us the Stairway to Heaven….
Yet another talent that wasn’t fully utilized. Morrison most famous during his stint with the The Doors. His wispy, sonorous,unusual baritone captured the hearts of millions and by far the most famous song is Riders In the Storm which was craze when the album was released. Even now the song popular courtesy NFS soundtrack but the original is unbeatable. The Doors were fisrt recognized in the national scene at the age of 1967 and from there on there was no looking back. They produced hits after after hits. Later as time progressed Morrison became antagonistic towards crowds and was also arrested for indecent exposure. He died at the age of 27 due high addiction to drugs and alcohol joining the Jimmy Hendrix and Freddie Mercury who died at the same age. He however is still considered to be one of the most charismatic men in rock history.
