Could Contraband signal a revival of rock? We need it.

Rock doesnt have any presence. Where are the ego maniac frontman? WHere are the drunk guitarists? There are none. Everything is proper and civilized.

Theres no over the top band. There is some good music but nothing great or unique. Everything seems planned and oraganized.

Rock needs a band that doesnt care about what people think. Rock needs a new Axl ROse.

YEa Axl was selfish and crazy but thats what made him and gnr appealing. Rock doesnt have a frontman anymnore.

I think a true frontman doesnt play an instrument in concert. Sure they will add an extra guitar here or play on a few songs but I think a true frontman's job is to A) Sing and B) dance and get the crowd going.

When I think of true frontman I think of Rob Helford, Roger Daltry, Axl Rose, Chris Cornell, Bruce Dickenson, It seems nowadays the singer plays an extra guitar and sings. Where as the frontmen back in the day had a gimmick or charecter and would pump you up. I think Manson is a good frontman, but its hard to be the Frontman when you are a soloist. If Manson was in a band that wasnt named Marilyn Manson then he would be a GREAT frontman.

I would consider Hetfield a frontman.

Although  Scott Weiland, Liam Gallagher, Steve Tyler are great examples.

A true frontman is in a Band but his charecter can carry the whole band.

Courtney Love, Kid Rock, & Manson would be great frontman, but since they go by there name as the name of the band its almost a solo effect. There cant be a frontman from a solo effort.
