No vote. I don't even know if the prototypical rock star shuld be a singer or a guitar hero, or if being a rock star has anything to do with a certain lifestyle. -------------

Mozart ------------- Bigger on the inside. |

Only really in a Hollywood universe would he come close. At least Mozart didn't have that kind of mass appeal "rock star-like" stature during his life, and died poor (but then many rock stars died poor, and young so he attained that kind of iconic status post mortem). |

Isn't Elvis a prototype? ------------- Over land and under ashes In the sunlight, see - it flashes Find a fly and eat his eye But don't believe in me Don't believe in me Don't believe in me |

If you're talking about picking someone off the street and asking them to describe a rock star, they'd probably describe someone like:
Slash, Axl Rose, Bret Michaels, Ozzy Osbourne, or for that matter, Yngwie Malmsteen (although they wouldn't know they were describing Yngwie at all, if that makes sense)
From this list, I think Richards probably fits this bill best. ------------- "WAAAAAAOOOOOUGH! WAAAAAAAUUUUGGHHHH!! WAAAAAOOOO!!!" -The Great Gig in the Sky |

Not sure who my number 1 would be, but when I think rock star, i see: Ozzy Osbourne Mick Jagger Keith Richards David Lee Roth Steven Tyler Jimi Hendrix The Beatles Lemmy (Motorhead) Angus Young Basically those who either live the "rock and roll lifestlye", are a big draw live, have great stage presence or some sort of combination of these things. |

Lemmy is a class act. He was in St. Louis last month and stopped in at my work. He was in his calvary soldier outfit eventhough the show wasn't for 2 nights. Nice guy as well. Nobody knew who he was. He just stayed to himself. |
