Great Frontmen Revisited
Joe Miranda December 23, 2009
Black Sabbath not only had the great electric guitar of Tony Iommi, it also had an outstanding bass guitar player named Terry “Geezer” Butler who among other things is the first to add to his bass guitar package a Wah-wah pedal. The front man for this band is known as the “Godfather of Heavy Metal” or the “Prince of Darkness”, He is Ozzie Osbourne.
Next up is the flamboyant front-man for Van Halen David Lee Roth. His showmanship with Van Halen and in his solo career earn him honors amongst the great front-men. Along with the tradition of heavy metal bands Rolling Stone once wrote that he was “the most obnoxious singer in human history”. Although he had a decent baritone voice he was better known for the physical side of his performances.
