Frankly, musicians are not badass. They may try to act the part, but it's nothing more than a put on. Cowards, all of them.

Bob Marley disagrees.

On 3 December 1976, two days before "Smile Jamaica", a free concert organised by the Jamaican Prime Minister Michael Manley in an attempt to ease tension between two warring political groups, Marley, his wife, and manager Don Taylor were wounded in an assault by unknown gunmen inside Marley's home. Taylor and Marley's wife sustained serious injuries, but later made full recoveries. Bob Marley received minor wounds in the chest and arm. The shooting was thought to have been politically motivated, as many felt the concert was really a support rally for Manley. Nonetheless, the concert proceeded, and an injured Marley performed as scheduled, two days after the attempt. When asked why, Marley responded, "The people who are trying to make this world worse aren't taking a day off. How can I?"Wikipedia

tl;dr version: After an assassination attempt, Marley went on stage and performed a concert a few days later. Please explain how this is "cowardice."

i saw the new GNR live few months ago. Don't get me wrong, appetite for destruction will always be one of my favorite albums and GNR was awesome. But holy ****, the new GNR needs to die. they were terrible live. I cried on my way back from the concert.

Clearly there's going to be exceptions to every rule. I did not think this would have to be explained.

Over 100 replies and no mention of Robby Flynn smh.

Also,

[QUOTE="Bucked20"]Bet if I made a "who is the top 5 badass rappers" it would get so much hate and everyone would say rappers are stupid yadda yadda bullsh*t Pirate700

Seriously dude...your act has grown old.

I agree with you Bucked20. I listen to both metal and hip hop and the misunderstandings between both genres are ridiculous. So, top five most bad ass rappers:

1. KRS-One

2. Nas

3. Ghostface Killah

4. 2Pac

5. Big L

If I'd have to hand it to anyone, it'd be Frank Mullen. His delivery is still great after all these years, and his off sense of humor is as intensely grotesque as the music is fun. Plus he doesn't take sh!t from anyone, label or otherwise.

I like how it says that he played drums for Lars Ulrich.

Anyway, fvkc Dave Grohl. His stupid band seems to be physically unable to rock and his only musical merit has been having the honor to record a song with King Diamond.

This is a great pic, however it fails to bring up Dave's four years drumming in the Northern Virginia/DC Hardcore punk band Scream, which was actually a big player in the DC hardcore movement along with bands like Minor Threat.

That's quite an impressive list. Incredible that he's even played drums for a guy who's never played anything other than drums (Lars Ulrich).

Actually it isn't correct. I don't know about most of the others, but Dave Grohl has never played drums for Lars Ulrich.
