Contender Number 1
Band - Muse
Name - Matthew Bellamy
Born on British soil Matthew Bellamy represents the best of national talent. With 5 albums spawning with Muse and numerous hits under his belt, he sure is a heavy hitter! With the greatest of skills playing and singing he sure is multi talented. What else? Well his custom Manson guitars have become signature sounds of Muse. Live he puts in more effort then I do into making these blogs (FOR THE FANS). His live presence is second to none and with a voice obviously gifted to him from the angels hitting amazing highs and heart stopping harmonies Being hailed as the next Thom Yorke,Matthew Bellamy could of already won this..
Contender Number 2
Band - Queens Of The Stone Age/Them Crooked Vultures
Name - Josh Homme
No one signifies badass like Josh Homme. Hailing from California he first made Kyuss the stoner metal band before his current outing. Playing lead, rhythm and singing is his C.V and did I mention he writes 99 per cent of the material for QOTSA? Known for his attitude onstage he shows fans what he's made of especially on one occasion where he called the fan up for a fight, only to throw a shoe at him. With his pounding and instantly recogniseable guitars in all the tracks Josh Homme has made a name for himself. Currently working on album number 6 for QOTSA I'm sure we will soon be hearing more from Homme and his well established antics. Could the king of desert rock be voted your number one?
Contender Number 3
Band - Rage Against The Machine
Name - Zach De La Rocha
Some people call him a rapper, some a poet. All I know he is the frontman of one of the most talked about bands of history. Rage Against The Machine have made headlines everywhere and this is mostly due to Zach's political activism. If there's a disaster in the world or something wrong in the world, you better believe that Zach is on the case. Sounds like a superhero? His on stage presence is not to shabby either. He takes in everything around him and talks to the crowd as brothers against one cause. Many can't hold a torch to the amount of musically bound respect that Zach has. Could we have a winner? OH ALSO. Killing In The Name was christmas number 1, Gunna vote for a national hero?
Contender Number 4
Band - Blink 182
Name - Mark Hoppus/Tom DeLonge
Dick jokes.. So many dick jokes. These are the things that have kept Blink 182 alive. Now don't get me wrong Tom is no amazing frontman like the other three. He often misses key and notes and sings like a cat on LSD, however the charm is still there and just singing along to Blink 182 warms the heart. Now on the other end of the spectrum Mark Hoppus is a sound frontman. His natural home is in front of an audience constantly communicating with them and having a laugh but he can hold the notes and play his instrument quite well..When he's not joking about going down on Obama. Could 13 year old your mom jokes get your vote? If so make sure to swing them Blink's way!
Contender Number 5
Band - Biffy Clyro
Name - Simon Neil
Go back 10 years ago and Biffy Clyro was not a name you would expect to hear in the rock charts and pop charts either. This is down to a tight band but also an enthusiastic frontman in the form of Simon Neil. Simon's hometown of Irvine in Scotland couldn't have a better Mascot. Bringing everything a front man needs to the table; Confidence, Talent and bleach blonde hair for a major show Simon Neil is a little glimpse into everything that is good about rock compared to some of the other heathens we have in this Motley Crue. Simon shows to the world he is passionate by his on stage performances, lyrics and emotion. This even led to him jumping off of an amp and breaking his leg (Or something along those lines) So does the bleach blonde Scottish man with the nice smile get your vote?
Well that's the choices, head on over to the facebook group to cast your vote, if not.. Well I hope you enjoyed the read!
