I can’t believe no one has mentioned Mick Fleetwood on drums. Pair him with Geddy Lee on bass and you’ve got a winner both musically and…uh…ugily.

Ah, Dung Beetle, a kindred spirit! As the Official Doper Sickthing ('cause I said so! 😃 ) I commend you for your good taste. 😉

I was considering starting a **Rock stars who don’t look like rock stars** thread, and he was the best example I could think of (with the possible exception of Kyle Gass).

Well thank you, **zoogirl**! It’s high time somebody did, because I’m full of it. Good taste, that is. 🙂

Ooh! I will do Tom Petty as well. (Perhaps I missed my calling?)

Merle Haggard. Hell, it’s genetic, his family name is haggard.

The Pixies???  
Frank Black isn’t really ugly, he’s just fat. If he wasn’t fat he’d be normal looking.

Iggy Pop should be in there. He looks different from picture to picture, but at his worse he can be hideous.

Cheetah Chrome should also be in there.

Back during their brief heyday, I remember a comedian saying, “you know a group has got problems when Tom Petty is the ‘cute one’.”

When I had long hair, I looked exactly like Alice Cooper.

Thanks. Thanks a lot.

Quite right.

My revised line-up is:

Joey Ramone - lead vocals  
Cheetah Chrome - gtr  
Brad Whitford - gtr  
Rick Ocasek - keybds  
Lemmy - bass  
Nicko McBrain drums

Slim pickings for this band back at the hotel after the show.
