mahalihooishavingaGreenDay Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 kerrang! came up with a list of the 50 greatest rockstars in the world today and Billie Joe came 10th. it's pretty good considering we haven't had anything new since 2009 other people in the list include Hayley Williams, Dave Grohl, Frank Iero and Simon Neil. I have scanned the paragraph about Billie Joe but if anyone wants to see the full list i'd be more than happy to scan it i'm sorry if this is already a forum but shoot me i searched
WestboundSign! Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Thanks for posting! As I said in the news thread before, it's great to have Billie in that list. And #10 isn't that bad. Really not. But (for me) those who came in before him really don't belong there. Not everybody, but many of them. Could be that it's just me.. but that's what I think about it. And even though.. I like Billie's description!
DecanoLP Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Great to see him on the list. Dave Grohl and Corey Taylor should have been in the top 3 though
stuart_and_the_ave Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 10?? Not bad. Who were numbers 7-1?? Top ten: Jason Aalon Butler (I've never heard of him) Oli Sykes Lars Ulrich Frank Carter Frank Iero Lemmy Hayley Williams Corey Taylor Dave Grohl Billie Joe Armstrong
mahalihooishavingaGreenDay Posted August 3, 2011 Author Posted August 3, 2011 Jason Aalon Butler (I've never heard of him) neither have I, i haven't heard of the band either... EDIT: I just searched them on youtube and this came up. I think you'll only have heard of them if you're into metal and screaming
Laurenn Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Top ten: Jason Aalon Butler (I've never heard of him) Oli Sykes Lars Ulrich Frank Carter Frank Iero Thanks. Woah, wasnt expecting to see Frank on there!
veroPasalacqua Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Top ten: Jason Aalon Butler (I've never heard of him) Oli Sykes Lars Ulrich Frank Carter Frank Iero Lemmy Hayley Williams Corey Taylor Dave Grohl Billie Joe Armstrong Oli. <3 But wah, no. Billie Joe should be on place 1.
Rita Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Interesting, thanks for posting! I'd love to find out who else is on the list.
Heather. Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 I think it's a testament to his popularity that even though he ranks lower than some of them, they gave him a bigger picture on the page :whistle
AwesomeAsFudge Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 hayley is number 7 !!! really ? for what ? but yay billie is in the top 10 even though he came last.
stuart_and_the_ave Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 I scanned the rest of the pages for anyone who wants to see the full list. Going in a spoiler because its huge first page saying sort of what they based it on and what the symbols stand for there was a full page photo for Jason Butler but i didn't bother scanning it
GreenRanger Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 I was kinda misled by the title of the list. I got really confused when I started seeing people like Gene Simmons and Axl Rose. Im guessing theyre counting older bands. Huh. I hate to sound like a pessimist, but I'm kind of feeling like today needs some better rockstars. Glad to see Billie on the list though. I would have face-palmed if he weren't. Still did a little bit.
Rita Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 I scanned the rest of the pages for anyone who wants to see the full list. Going in a spoiler because its huge Awesome, thank you so much!
pasalaska Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Thank you for posting! If possible, could you please re-size that image? It's absolutely enormous. It only needs to be half that size, if that.
Heather. Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Huh. They didn't give Billie the "tattoo" stamp. Guess he's not crazy enough, or they don't notice or count a guy without face tattoos I really like what it says about Chad Kroeger in the "Ones that got away" section. "His music is used to sell sofas, okay? There are geography teachers more rock n roll than Nickelback's frontman"
Annie, get your gun Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Thanks for posting I like Paramore, but Hayley Williams before Billie Joe Armstrong?? What a stupid joke. I'm glad he's on the list, but not in N. 10, having some kids at the front...
Karen. Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 I saw something on the Kerrang tv channel (at least I think it was Kerrang) the other day counting down the Kings of Planet Rock. GD was number 3 behind Iron Maiden and Foos. I prefer to think about this list than the magazine one. It really is only a silly magazine thing but some of the people ahead of him are ridiculous....you know who you are!
mahalihooishavingaGreenDay Posted August 3, 2011 Author Posted August 3, 2011 I scanned the rest of the pages for anyone who wants to see the full list. thanks for saving me a shit load of time
stuart_and_the_ave Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 thanks for saving me a shit load of time No problem
Shadowiegirl Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Thanks to mahalihooishavingaGreenDay for an enormous scan. I admit I read it in the newsagent and decided not to buy it. Here is the number 10 position with just the BJ stuff resized. But it is all thanks to the thread starter for it.
XxRedundantCastaway86xX Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Dear Kerrang: Top 5 should look a little more like this 1.) Billie Joe Armstrong 2.) Dave Grohl 3.) Mike Ness 4.) Julian Casablancas 5.) Someone that doesn't play in a band that fucking sucks ass (not in reference to the #5 on the original list. i like MCR) Peace out.
raven052 Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Yeah, was kinda thinking Billie would be at least in the top 5. I was prepared for anything though, last night on twitter Kerrang! were saying they bet no one would guess who was at number 1, so I pretty much figured it wasn't gonna be Billie...
-Billiejoezee- Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Oliver, hayley, and frank better than billie? I believe not.
Kristen M Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 I think 10 is a pretty decent rating, nice to see Dave Grohl on there
