Cool rock musicians - are there any these days?

^^ Nova Twins - love 'em.  But 'cool'?  Possibly... but we go back to the definition of what is cool!

That is another shifting term and no doubt, and also highly personal. Don't think anyone has ever really agreed have they?

Probably not.  And after some quick reflection, I'd stick Nova Twins in the cool camp.

Fantastic performers, and seem like they would be fun to hang out with.

Chappers.








Well, somebody was going to say it eventually.

viz

Matteo Mancuso

It doesn't get cooler.

Ooops!

Miles was the badest coolest MoFo that walked the face of this earth

Kravitz is still cool

Are we talking about what kids think are cool - or what the middle-aged-plus average Fretboarder thinks are cool?

I reckon, based on her two viral tik tok hits, the kids might think Sabrina Carpenter is cool, but I'd imagine most Fretboarders haven't heard of her?

Howe Gelb is pretty cool IMHO.

Cool in the absolute don't give a fuck stakes

I was asking fellow Fretboarders.  And it's really people who are frequently turning out new output   So whilst I would absolutely agree that Lenny Kravitz remains ACAF, he has been so across the last 2+ decades.  Who has taken on his mantle?!

Going to the gym in leather trousers, boots and sunglasses is not cool.

Isn't Bruno Mars essentially a sappier Lenny Kravitz?

He's the Non-Threatening Boys version.

That one exception is Jay Buchanan, who aside from having one of my fave rock voices and being in a brilliant band, is absolutely sub-zero.

There seems to be a strong feeling on the FretBoard that middle-aged American men who wear big hats and artfully-rumpled suits are cool.

Idles probably.
