the most uncoolest musicians

Sign in to disble this ad
a totally superficial assessment.

any musicians you think look really uncool onstage? not their talent or musicianship, but they just weird you out onstage?

my picks:

janick gers - i'm surprised he doesn't fall offstage more.

neil peart - my favourite drummer, but man, he makes me tense when he plays.

Les Claypool - he looks like a bloody idiot whenever he plays.

Me - There's nothing stranger than a huge guy with a club foot trying to rock out on-stage.

Jerry Gaskill has this Jimmy Durante type of Hachachachacha thing he does with his mouth when he's playing that's pretty freaky.

Keith Jarrett. I've never seen a guy having a physical relationship with a piano before. And look at that mustache...

Geddy - Looked iffy/weird in the early 70's, pretty good in the late 70's and early 80's, I have no ******* clue what he was thinking through the 80's, and has looked good from the 90's onwards.

I've mentioned this guy before. Terrific bassist, but I truly hate his stage presence:

In the first shot the bass looks like it has a 42" scale.
