NOMINATIONS: Best 90's Century Frontman Survivor!

[Ignatius]

Ok, I'm back with the best 90's frontman nominations thread. This is going to be so much fun!!

In case someone missed the previous survivor thread, this is a thread in which you will first nominate 10 frontman from the 90's, the top 10 amongst all nominations will enter our frontman survivor. Then, you will vote off one frontman per round until we have a winner. So far, the HTGTH members have voted Chris Cornell as the best 21st century frontman. Now we focus in the 90's.

A few reminders/rules before you post your nominees.


1.- 10 nominations each would be ideal. The more we have, the better. If you can't supply that many, 6 will be the minimum allowed then.

2.- Use your own judgement to decide if a frontman should be nominated for this or other decades. For Example, Axl Rose, Bono, Jagger, Jon Bon Jovi...they could fit in two or three (Jagger) decades. You will only get one chance to nominate him, so make sure you've thought where would you like to place him. If you nominate Axl Rose now, you won't be able to nominate him in the 80's survivor...I think you get the point.

3.- You can't nominate Chris Cornell as he was our previous winner. He's already entered the All time Survivor Finale.

4.- I'm gonna cut it down to 10 nominees. Last round we had 15 and it took longer than I had anticipated.

5.- Most of the nominees will be mainstream, but that doesn't mean unknown artists are not welcome. This is based on majority, but you never know. Besides, we all appreciate reading everyone's input.

6.- The frontman may also play an instrument. It doesn't have to be a pure frontman like Axl, Weiland or Morrison.

7.- Band minimum of three players please.

I think that's all. If I remember something, I'll post it later.

If anybody needs a bit of refreshing, the following is a random list I came out with in 2 minutes. There are tons of frontmen to choose from....this is just a few names I've thrown.


Dexter Holland - The Offspring

Zack De La Rocha - RATM
Mike Patton - Faith No More
Kristoffer Garm Rygg - Arcturus / Ulver / Borknagar (yeah I know there's no point in naming such an unknown guy, but it's a matter of principle: Garm is friggin' legend!)

Nick Holmes - Paradise Lost
Mikael ?kerfeldt - Opeth
Nick Cave - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

7.- Band minimum of three players please.

Well, this is tricky. Solo artists are not frontman because they don't have a band to front. It reads stupid, but that's the best reason I could give you. There's a few exceptions such as Trent Reznor or Beck. NIN is a solo effort, although on tour Reznor brings his own band. Moby and Beck could be alike examples, but they don't really look like frontman. Reznor on the other hand...

Anyway, is really up to you.

You'll get flamed for saying that on here. Definately save James for the '80s.

[N.I.B]

James Hatfield - Metallica (Metallica was at their best in the 90's)

You'll get flamed for saying that on here. Definately save James for the '80s.

I liked Metallica's 90's material the best, but thats just me. I say that we should save Axl for the 80's caus think about it, AFD, best GN'R album, late 80's.

[D]

Fred isnt as bad as people make him out to be. check out "results may vary" amazing record!

[kj_jive]

No it's not.  Results May Vary is Limp Bizkit's worst cd by far....which isn't saying a hell of a lot.

[x axls rose x]

Mkay, well definately we have to have the one and only Axl Rose, but I agree with whoever said he should be for the 80's, I don't feel like looking for who said it.
And
Courtney Love- Hole
Kurt Cobain- Nirvana

How can you leave out Courtney? She's so incredibly crazy!   

[Metallifuck]

I definately agree that Axl shouldn't be allowed (I like him obviously), but it's so obviously who is going to win, especially out of the '80s when there were so many other great frontman other than Axl.

[Aava]

Nicke Borg - Backyard Babies
Kurt Cobain - Nirvana
Mike Ness - Social Distortion
Hank Von Helvete - Turbonegro
Nicke Andersson - The Hellacopters
Ginger - The Wildhearts
Axl Rose - GNR

[grendood]

1. Liam Gallagher is easily the best frontman of the 90's

[Captain Obvious]

Layne Staley
Sebastian Bach
Liam Gallagher
Edwin
Mike Patton


Axl shouldn't be allowed,  he will obviously win and this will be a big waste of time.

[Jim]

Do I have to list ten?

If so, I can't be bothered.

But I'm going to say:

Mike Patton

Because he needs to be in it, and should by all rights win.

Oh, nad great to see Nick Cave mentioned! I'll second that.

I only mention the two above because I don't know if they'll both definatly get in, when they should...

I'll also add Trent, even though he will definatly be included, for fun.

Oh, and Maynard, because for some reason, he didn't win the 21st Century one. I don't know why.

[KeVoRkIaN]

Mike Patton - best there is

[Ignatius]

Make sure you post your nomination today for those who haven't done so yet. I'll be counting your nominations tonight.

Also, by popular demand, I've decided to "vote off" Axl Rose from the nominees. This is a GNR board, so most likely he will end up winning. The purpose of this thread is to create as much uncertainty as possible so, in order to keep this thread uncertain, he is not eligible anymore until further notice. ( I might give him a wild card to enter the grand finale...who knows)

What I think it could be a good idea is to debate on whether Axl shoud've been included in the 80's or 90's survivor and why. I might start a thread in the GNR section later today about it.

[GNR_Green]

Can I have Ian Brown in the list please?  He fronted The Stone Roses for those who have to ask.
