What single artist epitomizes rock and roll the best?
From my money it's Slash. With Lemmy a close second.
The look.
The talent.
The riffs.
The lifestyle.
The name.
What say you froobs!

If you took the lifestyle out of it, then I’d say you could add Izzy Stradlin to that list.EnLiteEndOne wrote: ↑Sat Mar 23, 2019 5:38 pm From my money it's Slash. With Lemmy a close second.

Based on the above criteria, I can’t argue with Slash, Lemmy, Keith Richards, or even Sammy Hagar.

An English music magazine once did a brackets breakdown of this question and the final winner was JERRY LEE LEWIS. nobody has gotten away with bizarre, violent, hair-raising living for longer than the Killer. it's not just an image.

The minute you say "riffs", it's got to be Jimmy Page.EnLiteEndOne wrote: ↑Sat Mar 23, 2019 5:38 pm From my money it's Slash. With Lemmy a close second.

Steven Tyler maybe?
For me, maybe apart from the "lifestyle" part, I'd lean Springsteen. Maybe Clapton. "Rock" means mainstream to me.
