Who looks the coolest?????

You want the coolest guy on stage, it's him, Entwistle. He is the definition of coolness. With those shiny jackets, or the skeleton suit, the platform shoes, the outrageous basses, his statue-like demeanor, he was the COOLEST!!!

To comment on “cool old guys”, someone who reviewed THE WHO’s DVD Live at the Royal Albert Hall wrote the following about Entwistle: “And John Entwistle is still there, looking like an older version of himself, which is very freaky!”
 
Stu Zender and I HAVE to mention Pino Palladino. I saw him play with D'Angelo, and seeing this tall, lanky guy with this old P Bass, tapping his feet, and bobbing his head was the coolest thing I'd seen in a while!
Also, I saw Rush when I was in the 8th grade, and when they got to the keyboard/bass break in "Tom Sawyer, good lord! Fingers Lee killed it! He looked like a surgeon on stage!
 
When the jubilee celebrations were on in London last year they held a big concert at buckingham palace and I noticed they had a really geeky looking bass player- later on when they introduced the band it was none other than Mr Pino so he would definately get a vote- Just got hold of the best of brothers johnston and the pictures of Louis
and his brother are amazin so he gets a vote too.....
 
No, JT, I think he was actually asking you the question - he wants to know how can you not look cool with a doubleneck 7 string fretted/fretless? It would seem, it's a challenge not to look cool with one of those beasts, but you pull it off magnificently! :D
