bobbass4k Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Mask, nudity, setlist written on chest and one of the greatest quotes of recent memory: "If Freddy Mercury were still alive, he would be an environment".

lojo Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Has to be someone like Fuzzy Samuels, always looked cool, just played enough, never took over Although when I was younger Id have picked JJ Burnell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4 Strings Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 (edited) No new suggestions from me as its Andy Fraser (surely the coolest ever) and our friends Phil L and Norman W-R. >Edit: Looking at that pic again, even kids don't have waists like that nowadays.

Skol303 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Purely on 'coolness' I'd probably say Lemmy. If it can be posthumous, I'd throw in Charlie Mingus too. But I guess what's cool ultimately depends on what music you like. I mean, one man's cool might be another's stool, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
