nice of you all to share your man-crushes

Nothing wrong with a man-crush; there are loads of blokes who I wouldn’t hesitate to describe as gorgeous

James Honeyman-Scott of The Pretenders looked effortlessly cool. Another one whose time was too short. 

Teyeplayer

Jonny Greenwood always just seemed an awesome whirling dervish of cool chaos on stage. I also had a poster of Monster-era Michael stipe on my wall and I still think that persona he put on for the album was fantastic -even if it wasn’t to the traditional REM fans taste!

JJ Burnel.

Who was also inarguably the hardest...

Boromedic

Wow, Roy Orbison does look cool there........

Offset

^^ Actually, Roy Orbison WAS extremely cool but in a very offbeat, leftfield kinda way...

He'd sometimes turn up at my local, the King's Head in Guildford with his biker entourage. He wasn't cool, unless twats were somehow cool.

Definitely, and one of the greats for sure.

No offence intended, but that's such a bullsh*t playground comment!

My dad's bigger than yours territory ...

I think Zoltan Bathory from Five Finger Death Punch is some kind of martial arts expert.

But I'm not saying he's cool.

Boromedic

Yeah, but was he second hardest in the infants????

Reverend

Obviously Jason Everman from Nirvana and Soundgarden was the hardest.

Ronnie Pickering was the hardest

I think you'll all find that Kris Barras is probably the 'ardest, period, past and present.  Just sayin'.

So suprised that no one has yet said Wellington - cool as f**k with his white Flying V.

And those boots.

Different era to most on here but Wes Borland and Corey Taylor. I think I was more intrigued by the costumes etc than anything else, I loved the whole Slipknot gimmick of masks and boiler suits. For more normal attire I thought all of Blink 182 were cool. And obviously Slash

DrumBob

Keith Richards, by far. 

ThePrettyDamned

Matt Bellamy for me.
