Obviously you're all wrong!
David Lee Roth is, of course, the greatest.
The 80's rock scene would have been nothing without him and the rest of the band.... |

Freddie wasn't always like that. He was quite shy originally. Look at the early Queen concerts. But the clues were there - doing Hey Big Spender as an encore....!! |

"Jim Morrison  or John Lennon .... It's a tough choice
you took the words right from my mouth..
They weren't really showmen though."
.
Depends on your idea of a showman, as out and out theatre probably not but as charismatic, petulant, sultry, sex idol, controversial, genius song writers.
I mean Lennon was just something else and dear old Jim unfortunately was one of the 27 club  |

Morrison and Lennon were great writers and singers but not showmen.
There was no theatre, no spectacle, no riding a 10ft inflatable microphone over the audience, no midget strippers and probably no fire either..... That's what a showman does, he gives the audience a show!! |

South Birmingham waiting for the bf to come back after crimbo |
For me it has to be a toss up between Elton John and Freddie Mercury.
The big question has to be why are the real showmen all gay? Could it be something to do with the flamboyant personality stereotype?  |

Saw Queen over 30 times.....very difficult to find anyone who could outdo The Mercurial One. Stole Live Aid. Always interacted brilliantly with the audience.
The only performers coming close were Bono
or the Gallagher boy.....great entertainment but not as close imho |

I was thinking of their off stage charisma and public persona.
Mercury was a recluse |

Some homework required on Freddie ! He may have his away towards the end as the press speculated and hounded him but look into his birthday parties come hedonistic get together and it shows most on here in comparison to be nuns.
As for Bruce......have you ever had the experience of flying heavy metal ? I have. Flown from light aircraft to tornado gr1 to Lockheed TriStar and victor. Its more rock and roll than the hum drum jobs most have on here. He has the chance to fly what most pilots can only dream of due to his success and personal ability.
Both are still the ultimate to me  |
