Went with Steve Tyler. Just because it's more of a physical trait than purposeful trademark that sets him apart. Anyone could paint their face or wear a certain thing, but there's only one Steve Tyler.

I thought of this in the middle of an English exam so sorry if its a bit shakey. Its just that a lot of great rock bands or band members have that one trademark about them (whether its an object or something they do) that everyone remembers. For example, even if someone has never heard of Slash, they have seen or heard of "that guitarist with the huge hat." So thats what I'm just curious about. Which trademark rules above all?

I'm going for Keith Richards total look. It's like he electrocutes himself every morning to get his hair done. There is no one like Keith.

I voted for Ozzy's bats because even when I was a kid with bad taste in music I knew about that.

That's more of an unfortunate event he'd like to forget than a trademark. Laughing But it [i]is[/i] well-known, I suppose...

The doves are funnier.

I voted KISS's makeup because I saw it before I knew who KISS was.
Ah, the age of 5.

He bit off dove heads too? WTF? That actually sounds more symbolic than funny but I'm weird like that.


Long live the Prince of F*cking Darkness! Cool

And if anyone really cares, I'm the one who voted for Slash's hat. :wub:

He did the doves before the bat. It was right after he got the record deal, and they'd set up a meeting for all the execs to meet him. None were too thrilled, so Sharon suggested he take some doves in his pockets and throw them up in the air as a symbolic gesture. And as usual, he was piss drunk, sat on the knee of one of the women, pulled out the first dove, and bit its head off (there's a few pictures out there...).

They were thrown out, and he bit the head off the second one and threw it at the receptionist on their way out.

Very Happy In that case he knew they were real, instead of the bat mistake. Of course, the bat did result in funny rabies shots...

Oh sh*t! They were supposed to be fake? Laughing That is pretty damn funny. Rabies shots suck too.

Ozzy's bats and doves are pretty memorable. But thats like in third place. Steve Tyler's lips were in second but they like tie in first too with the hat. I mean c'mon! Those lips are why he's still so hot, y'know? Laughing

Well, not [i]supposed[/i] to be fake. He used to do that to rubber bats in Sabbath. Someone threw a bat onstage, and he thought it was rubber, so...

Surprise.

Indeed. Very Happy Animals don't have a great history with them, but it makes for great stories.

Alice Cooper and the chicken...

Good times man... Cool

I remember watching something about this band who was actually chopping off live animal heads durring a show and they trew a pig head into the audience and it knocked one random fan out. WTF?

I don't remember if the band got sued but it made for a good laughs and a TV special. ^_^


...nobody's voting in my poll... Sad Just the cool people and no one else. Sad

I voted for KISS's makeup, because it's one of the more obviious traits and I've known what KISS looked like since I was little.

Uhg, all this animal abuse stuff is making me want to become a vegetarian. :wacko:

And it looks like something has finally taken a good lead with KISS's makeup having 50% of the vote. I shouldn't be surprised but I actually am...well surprised. Oh well. We need more people voting. There must be someone who appreciates the greatness of Slash's hat like I do. Laughing

[quote]Uhg, all this animal abuse stuff is making me want to become a vegetarian. [/quote]

Go to a Velvet Revolver concert then. All the goodness of great rock music without the chopping off of animal heads. Very Happy The only one being abused there is Axl Rose and the abuse is subliminal. Laughing
