Bands that clearly have leaders and it is not the singer??? - GoFuckYourself.com

Kard63 · 02-14-2009, 10:31 PM

A friend and I were talking about many bands having an obvious "leader". I said it is pretty much always the singer. HE disagreed. So I named AC/DC, metallica, and pointed out some might say Van Halen but I personally think they are all anarchists and shouldn't count. Then I challenged him to name all the ones I forgot. He couldn't name anyone.

Do you know anymore?

Sly · 02-14-2009, 10:34 PM

YOU named Metallica for the singer being the leader? You are wrong. Lars runs that show. James doesn't seem the brightest to be honest... Lars created that band, Lars stole the name from a producer.

Sly · 02-14-2009, 10:34 PM

And how could you list Van Halen?

Allformyspace · 02-14-2009, 10:41 PM

A few of the past: The Sex Pistols and Kiss

Matt 26z · 02-14-2009, 10:42 PM

Oasis (although Noel does sing some), Papa Roach (guitarist), System of a Down (bassist).... That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

candyflip · 02-14-2009, 10:42 PM

I was about to say KISS.

I didn't know that about Boston but I love their music.

I thought they had some sort of homosexual, incestual two party voting system?

badmunchkin · 02-14-2009, 11:36 PM

Motley Crue was always Nikki Sixx's band

ExtremeBank_Adam · 02-14-2009, 11:37 PM

Sixx A.M.

Jim_Gunn · 02-14-2009, 11:39 PM

There are lots of these situations in bands. Besides Journey I mentioned above, Rainbow was led by guitarist Richie Blackmore and guitarist Mick Jones was the founder of Foreigner.

PSSuperstars · 02-15-2009, 12:33 AM

Isn't Pete Wentz like the face for Fall Out Boy?

even though I don't consider them real rock, lol

tony286 · 02-15-2009, 12:37 AM

INXS the chubby brother who played keyboards.

Garfield · 02-15-2009, 01:20 AM

Slayer, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Helloween, Anthrax, Judas Priest
is 6:20 am... can't think of any one else now
:P

Google Paul Revere and the Raiders...there was music prior to MTV...

~Ray · 02-15-2009, 07:32 AM

Rising Force was Yngwie Malmsteen's band

HorseShit · 02-15-2009, 07:34 AM

i'm hungry

Fletch XXX · 02-15-2009, 07:37 AM

the leader of the band really shouldnt be the singer, that is just phenomenon that started with jim morrison antics on stage... old bands didnt act like the modern rock shit that people feel they need to act like jim morrison on stage to get written about in papers.

ive talked extensively of this in musicology and things ive theorized regarding music.

i listen to alot of music with no vocalist, such as surf: bands without singers are usually better imho

Fabien · 02-15-2009, 07:37 AM

AC-DC

Angus does

Fletch XXX · 02-15-2009, 07:40 AM

ummm Angus isnt the leader of the band, he is lead guitarist, but anyone who knows the structure of AC/DC knows, Malcom is the brains behind AC/DC and as rythm guitarist writes most of it all... angus is just lead guitarist, this is like saying Slash controls G N R when he was on stage, not the case at all. Lead guitarists do their thing but do not control the show...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malcolm_Young

pre back in Black, Bon Scott controlled the show, angus just gets the hype now that Bon Scott is dead.

SilentKnight · 02-15-2009, 07:59 AM

Doobie Brothers.

Many lead singers (Tom Johnston, Michael MacDonald) have come and gone over the years - but Pat Simmons controls the band.

cykoe6 · 02-15-2009, 08:48 AM

Jimmy Page was obviously the leader of Led Zeppelin.

escorpio · 02-15-2009, 08:51 AM

Surprised no one has mentioned The Who.

MaDalton · 02-15-2009, 08:51 AM

beach boys? queen?

being in a band myself and the music biz for over ten years i can say that in many bands the singer is not the leader. it just doesn't interest anyone outside the band. the singer is always the center of attention, no matter what the other band members want. no journalist will settle with the drummer when he can get the singer.

dyna mo · 02-15-2009, 08:55 AM
