''Coolest looking''? 
These HM bands have the habit of playing with open legs I imagine it is a severe muscular disorder.

You get an interesting thought in your head... yadda yadda yadda it's now a message board post.   :lol:

I'd have to put in a vote for Lemme. Yes I know, he was a bass guitar player, but just looking at him you knew he had some crazy stories to tell.

Lemmy had his ashes put in bullets and given to his closest friends, because he was Lemmy f*cking Kilmister.......

When I was a kid I always wanted to unzip Suzi Quatro's leather suit to see what was under there.
That somehow led to me looking for a funny picture of Adrian Belew in a dress when he was in Zappa's band (which I found in this really good article):

Thanks for that link Steve, I read all three parts on Belew. Good stuff.

I should have left this for those not familiar with Buckethead. This cut is with Les Claypool, pretty damn cool too.

Tony Iommi

Interesting Wikipedia Fact:
"At the age of 17, Iommi lost the tips of the middle and ring fingers of his right hand in an industrial accident on his last day of work in a sheet metal factory.Iommi described how he "was told 'you'll never play again'. It was just unbelievable. I sat in the hospital with my hand in this bag and I thought, that's it – I'm finished. But eventually I thought 'I'm not going to accept that.He ultimately decided to continue playing left-handed. To do so, he fitted homemade thimbles to his injured fingers to extend and protect them; the thimbles were made from an old Fairy Liquid bottle – "melted it down, got a hot soldering iron and shaped it like a finger" – and cut sections from a leather jacket to cover his new homemade prosthetic.And the Legend was born...

Yes I am, I had some fake ID and in those days, they barely cared to check. I was 17 in 1975 and would catch them routinely at the Barrelhead in W.S., but there were soooo many places that they played. At that time (this was pre Van Halen, nationally), there wasn’t anyone that played like this anywhere.
I saw RTF with Stanley Clark and Weather Report with Jaco. Both of whom are in a completely different league in terms of technical ability, but Sheehan was no slouch and his style was incredible. I feel fortunate that I got to watch him as often as I did.

For me, coolness comes from skill, chops, ability to communicate, emotional content, unique voice and language. Not from wearing the right clothes, or hitting the right pose.

Two quick examples:
