So what I'm saying it was theatrical and pompous.....very effective agreed....but transparent. And I personally find that sort of thing a bit tiresome.....cos I prefer reality.

Bon just went on stage as him.....and he could magnetise an audience with just a sneer, an evil smile, or more generally a leer. Don't forget he got away with some risque material for those times....and he could carry it off because of his mischievous boy persona. Whereas with the later AC/DC it just became smut.

Another incredible frontman was the late Lee Brilleaux of Dr Feelgood.....while the rest of the music scene was camping it up in the 70's he was playing the role (and I quote from the music press)......."the demented car salesman from hell!"

YouTube - DR FEELGOOD. You shouldn't call the doctor...

I didn't like that one much got a better one we should call this battle of the bands I think I'll do it

What I like about those guys 8and most aussies) is they're down to earth, real people. Plus, Bon had the most incredible stage prescence.....best frontman there's ever been.
