Obviously Chris Martin is my all time fave band member, he is a genius in my opinion but I also love Tim Wheeler from Ash - great voice, writes great songs and is a fantastic all round entertainer imo :mrgreen:

yeah love that tim too

Invisible and Proud

26-09-2002, 09:31 PM

Ahh....it's impossible to pick 1 but i will anyways

Brian Wilson from the Beach Boys - he was an absolute genius in my opinion

he's kinda my fave in terms of music, in terms of live performances/showmen -

Matt Bellamy of Muse, oh my god how he does not die of exhaustion or from getting brain damage from the amount of times he smashes his head on his guitar/stage/audience members i'll never know.

yeah i see all that kind of stuff too like when singers hit there heads with their fist when there singing i know that sounds stupid but i've seen it done. i went show and saw a guy hit his self on accident with his microphone. it wasnt a big band,but that guy felt pretty stupid

Paul McCartney from the Beatles. Love love Paul. He rocks my world. :D

Chris Martin from Coldplay. Need I explain? ;)

Fran Healy from Travis ... he has a gorgeous voice, writes great songs, is hilarious and just generally a sweet, down-to-earth guy. :)

Damon Albarn from Blur
He was my first rock star obsession and I'll never get over him. I've loved him since I was 13. Yes he is supposed to be an asshole but I still love him.

And Will because he doesn't get enough credit!

Although, for as long as I can remember, I've had a thing for Larry Mullen of U2, I've always thought Adam Clayton is the epitome of cool.

And speaking of bass players, Guy......Guy is good. :)

I'd have to say Richie Birkenhead of Into Another. He is the most fascinating guy I've ever met. Too bad the band split up in 1996...

And Chris Martin OF COURSE. But I guess there's no real need for saying that - it is obvious!

19-10-2002, 11:44 PM

chris martin......thats pretty obvious yeah

the first time i read that...what you said didnt sound all too friendly...yeah but what we going to do about that its not are fault that they're so good and good looking... 8) :lol:

Katharina

20-10-2002, 10:13 AM

It didn't sound friendly? Woops, I didn't intend that... It's just that it's no surprise picking Chris so I wanted to point out it was not so original of me to say that...
I love Coldplay, too!! So we're in this together... :wink:
And you're totally right - they are good AND good-looking... :D

I'd be pleased to Matt Good. Though it would be sweet to meet Raine Maida.

Venus

11-06-2003, 09:44 PM

Okay, here's my two cents. . . actually it's three :-D

John Lennon from the beatles is my all time fav (he was a smart ass punk and I love him for it!!) Followed closely by Thom Yorke from Radiohead and then, of course, Mr. Chris Martin himself. (I know, please, hide your shock . . .)

noel_ashcroft

11-06-2003, 10:31 PM

for me JOHN LENNON WITHOUT HIM THE MUSIC WILL BE DEAD AND ALL SATRTED WHEN HE WROTE THE WITH ALBUM AND REVOLVER. 8)

12-06-2003, 03:39 PM

i think i would have to say chris. i just really admire him. i admire all of coldplay. this is quite a difficult question. as i've said before i use to like boy bands before coldplay so coldplay are just completely different and amazing to me. (and they do it without having to dance or lipsynce! bonus!) lol.

Alien Radio

11-09-2012, 10:28 PM

Thom Yorke of Radiohead
Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead
Justin Vernon of Bon Iver
Win Butler of Arcade Fire

Mike Dirnt of Green Day. I started playing bass guitar because of him.
Noel Gallagher of Oasis/HFB. The Chief :D.
Spięty/Denat of Lao Che. Artist. And very intelligent men.

Wasn't aware until now, but with John Lennon, George Harrison, Jonny Greenwood and the Thommeh in mind, I actually ended up with the Thommeh.

11-09-2012, 11:12 PM

Probably Thom Yorke

lame I know

Damn this is an old thread. Many great musicians weren't even in bands yet when this was created.

I'm gonna pull one out of left field and say Jarvis Cocker. He's everything you want in a great musician. Talented, good songwriter, entertaining personality, great stage presence, and not afraid to speak his mind even if it means hurting a few feelings here and there.

Tim Rice-Oxley (Pianist and main song writer for Keane). He really is a genius. For some reason I love how long it rakes him to answer questions. And the faces he makes when he's anwsering questions. :thinking: :inquisitive: and how he's so calm and quite when he's talking, but when he's at his piano he gets all into it. Like he can feel the music. It's so wonderful to watch him live! And his glasses! Tim with glasses is so...CUTE! Haha! And he's always loved writing music. His songs are filled with so much emotion and sorrow, but with a glimmer of hope (sometimes). The songs are so personal. For example, Hamburg Song, which he wrote for Tom Chaplin (lead singer). And you can fit so many of the songs into things you have gone through or experienced.

Oh...haha! I didn't realise how long my expaination was...haha!
