Hard Men of Rock

marcofella [Edit] [Delete] 31 replies 08:52 May 12th, 2005

Ok, who would we all be too scared to fight! In other words, who are the true 'hard as a motherfucker' guys of rock? Top fives please.

(this is when they were in their prime - its fine if they are old and fucked now)

Mine are:

1. Henry Rollins
Look at him, he screams 'don't fuck with me'
2. Mark E Smith
Well, would you mess with him?
3. Glen Danzig
Ever seen the evil mad bastard live in the late 80's?
4. All the Futureheads
I've seen them all in full flow in a mass pub fight, eek!
5. Jack White
erm, Von Bondies!!

Re: Hard Men of Rock

Glen Danzig holds no fear for anyone now.

One punch and KO'd

  Rollins and Danzig maybe but your certainly having a laugh with the Futureheads and Jack White.

    White is pretty big, and can definately handle himself in a fight.

    As stated above, i saw the futureheads in a mass pub brawl in the NE... trust me... you would run!
    
    No one could touch them!

  I had heard about that Danzig thing, but how old is the guy now? Late 50's?
  
  In his prime, he was one tough cookie!

      I've sure he's in his fifties.... when i heard about that punch, it almost shattered all my teenage thoughts (i was a mad teenage Misfits fan).
      
      But i soon recovered, and put it down to a 'lucky punch'

        Iggy Pop - he'd probably vomit in your face
        
        Nick Oliveri - would hatchet you with a carefully concealed bass
        
        James Dean Bradfield - imagine the weight of all those pies crashing into you. That would hurt
        
        Vincent Gallo - he just looks truly psychotic

        I remember seeing the video for "Mother" on Beavis and Butthead and he did look one hard bastard. Didn't someone deck him recently though? Is that what fullerov is refering to in his post further up there ^^^^?

        That guy was pretty darn big. Wonder what would have happened if Danzig had been 25 and full of beans!

        Danzig had it coming to him, he had this guys band kicked of the bill and when confronted started the ever-so brief violence in the video.
        
        He also said he was sucker-punched hmmmmm
        
        In other Danzig news it appears the orriginal line-up of The Misfits may be reforming!

        1. Greg Puciato - The Dillinger Escape Plan
        he's the singer with these guys at the moment, and i wouldn't dream of fucking with him. the guy has arms like most people's legs.
        
        2. James Hart - Eighteen Visions
        bit of a fatty, but i still wouldn't mess with him. sometimes tough guys wear makeup.
        
        3. Jacob Bannon - Converge
        i saw a video recently where a show descends in to a brawl. he ends up cracking a security guard with a mic stand. intense.
        
        4. Johnny Cash
        in his prime of course. the guy was an amphetamine fuelled monster. crazy.
        
        5. Varg Vikernes - Burzum
        this mentalist will kill you and keep bits of your skull as a souvenir. currently serving time for killing a former bandmate. he's cracked.
        
        Danzig would of course have been good in a fight, shame about him being a bit of a pussy these days. I think Jerry Only would be the one to watch from the misfits, he's built like a house.

      Proper brawlers. Fight dirty too. None of this body oiling (Danzig) and neck growing (Rollins), just mean.

        If he was still alive, GG Allin would be the ultimate challenge - first your eyes would water from the smell of his effluence, then he would cut you into wee pieces with a Bic Orange.

        Josh Homme he smashed a glass over the dwarves singers head for saying hed sold out in a song "massacre", so i probably think its a good thing to leave him alone, yep.

        henry rollins? naah...he might be all fat neck and bulging eyes, but i bet he's really soft on the inside, aww...
        
        the ramones - they blew up a school once, i wouldn't mess with them. plus they wear leather jackets.
        
        dmx - he's not really 'rock' but he could probably bite off your hand.

  Mark Lanegan. He threatened to put Liam Gallagher's head through a brick wall once when Liam was being a twat. And he fought Terrorvision backstage at some festival once. Hah.
