Shane MacGowan in his current state is scary in a way.
The poster boy for what happens to you if live a hard R&R lifestyle.
At least he’s sporting some teeth lately. Pictures of him when he was completely toothless are not something you want to see.
This guy didn’t find Danzig intimidating
Do rappers count? Of so, I nominate Bone Crusher.
Wayne Hardnett Jr. (born August 23, 1971), professionally known as Bone Crusher, is an American rapper and hip hop producer. He is credited as being one of the inventors of the crunk sound. In 2003, at the height of his career, his debut album AttenCHUN! reached No. 1 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, and his debut single "Never Scared" reached the top 10 on the R&B and Rap charts. The success of the single led him to win a Source Award along with a Grammy Award nomination and an America...

As has been mentionned, Lemmy of Motörhead . I’m sure there was a really nice guy behind that face, but I really wouldn’t have wanted to meet him in a dark alley nonetheless. Especially if he was drunk. Plus his Nazi paraphernalia obsession kind of weirded me out.
Also seconding Henry Rollins as a dude who looks like after a couple whiskey shots he’d jokingly reminisce about that time he stomped somebody to death and buried him in the woods for looking at him funny. “Ha-ha. Just kidding. He’s really buried in La Brea Tar Pits. C’mon, I’m just fucking with you ! But don’t push me.” He was scarily effective in Sons of Anarchy . All the funnier that he’s a staunch pacifist - but he just really looks like a violent asshole, don’t he ?
70’s Todd Rundgren make those guys look like super-models.
Also Rik Ocasek wasnt so hot either.
Costumes and corpsepaint don’t count, IMO; I give y’all Shlak (please don’t watch his videos or listen to his band).
ETA: For the curious, Shlak plays guitar in a wrestling-themed punk/metal band AND is a Death Match wrestler.
Joe Cocker was a rough looking character.
Jackmannii:
To be fair, Jay wasn’t disturbing-looking , it was his behavior on stage that stood out (he supposedly lost half his audience some nights when he came screaming up out of a coffin).*
Then again there’s Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, voted the musician parents would least appreciate having their teenaged daughters go on a date with.
*Screamin’ Jay Hawkins is the only rocker I know of who was classically trained as an opera singer.
Unofficially, Geoff Tate (ex-Queensryche) was. His aunt was an opera singer, and his parents always sang around the house.
Attila Dorn, lead singer for German corpsepaint-wearing power metallers Powerwolf , is an opera singer who joined a metal band.
Floor Jansen of Nightwish was studying/training opera while in school but I don’t know that she has ever performed.
One is scary looking with corpsepaint; the other is not scary and has no corpsepaint, in keeping with the thread.
That’s lawyer, former Australian parliamentarian and Member of the Order of Australia Peter Garrett to you, sonny …
I’m thinking Bon Scott-era ACDC .
The only thing likely to be more hellish than these two deciding you’d looked at them wrong would be if they decided you were their best mate, and dragged you into whatever evil they had planned after they ran out of canapes.
Better as your friend or enemy?
KISS was kinda creepy / mysterious, what with their makeup and stage antics. That’s nothing compared to what’s underneath . Lest you think I’m being unfair criticizing a group of men in their late 60s / early 70s, they weren’t exactly lookers back in the day .
As far as the ladies, Janis Joplin wasn’t exactly what you’d call a handsome woman.
Zodiac Mindwarp & The Love Reaction
That’s about the best I’ve ever seen him look!
