no, it was just the glasses and those were considered cool back then. They didn't have contact lenses. He's revered by hipsters today.

Anyone that reads your poli board posts can see that.

I'm confused, Buddy Holly seems pretty cool to me.

This dude pointed out his glasses... Buddy Holly is the person who made it cool to wear glasses on stage.

He could have played in his underwear and it would have become cool to play in your underwear on stage.

Dave Mustaine

Saw Megadeath open for Aerosmith in 93' in Biloxi. Met Dave Mustaine and he was cool as hell. Steven Tyler on the other hand was a complete arse. Megadeath destroyed them on stage and Tyler was pissed that the crowd kept giving them curtain calls. Not surprisingly, The next day they kicked Megadeath off of the tour and picked up Jackyl.

Depends on what type of uncool. If it's the type of uncool that probably got bullied in school, didn't fit in anywhere-yet turned their awkwardness into awesomeness then I'd say David Byrne.

If it's someone I thought was uncool for various and sundry reasons, I dunno...Robby Robertson, Kanye

Yeah, I think we have a convergence of dork uncool and a-hole uncool in this thread.

Probably Rivers Cuomo for both.

He's the furthest thing from an egomaniac. The guy warmly greets any fans that come to talk to him even at his residence in Oklahoma City. Even knows many of his fans on a first name basis. You're clueless jay.



yeah, not really sure why anyone would think that WC is an a-hole.

ALSO, whoever said Boston was/is uncool needs a chop to the head.

Joe Elliott


I'll say it for Joe:



Joe banged moms and daughters at the same time during backstage festivities.

I'll go ahead and add the following:

Eddie Van Halen--He's such a toolbag it's not funny. I always thought DLR was the a-hole. Nope. Eddie. He's kicked his own brother out of the band before (didn't last long--day or two).

Rick Ocasek--Dude is such a dork. I'm on the fence because he married Paulina Porizkova (who is still smokin' hot) in the 80s and he's still married to her.

Elvis Costello--He married Diana Krall before she had a chance to meet me and be swept off her feet so frick him.


Ok, I rescind my nomination of Rick Ocasek.

I've actually heard from New Orleans venue owners that The Revivalists singer was a douche, but nothing in great detail. Care to elaborate?

It's just ignorant people that don't know Wayne's story. Guy grew up poor as hell in Oklahoma City with nothing and created an artistic movement out of nothing. He was one of the leaders pushing the indie scene in the 90s along with beck, radio head, the blur, etc. The guy is extremely humble and friendly to anyone that approaches him.

Idk, I hate that guy just by his looks and the way he acts on stage. I wouldn't piss on him if he were on fire.

Jerry lee Lewis is a pretty uncool rocker. Guy is from ferriday, LA and married his cousin.

Elvis might be the uncoolest of all time.

GG Allin is a huge douche. I mean I guess he was kinda funny with how ridiculous he was but let's be real- the guy was a total jackass.
