List band members in order of toughness

are you kiddning? john is tougher than ringo

YOKO IS TOUGHER THAN ALL OF THEM!

I'd guess after Ringo they were all equally hard assed. I get the impression that John would be the lippy one starting a fight, while the others pile in for the scrap. Best to ask Heather Mills McCartney about Paul.

Here's the comment henry s was working off of:

It's interesting that he's considered the most harmless/most "lovable" Beatle, considering he grew up in the worst neighborhoods. He probably could have easily taken Lennon's ass in a fight.

who is tougher?

http://vinyleticketomania.free.fr/Vinyls/ModernTalkingBrotherlovie/moderntalkingbrotherlovieA.jpg

the guy flipping us the bird, that's who!...

ringo might have the physical power,but john has the smart tactics.

the guy flipping us the bird, that's who!...

Took the words right out of my mouth.

ringo might have the physical power, but john has the smart tactics.

you mean like, "your shoes untied", that sort of thing?

Dieter Bohlen you mean http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f3/Dieter_Bohlen.jpg

Oats > Oates

exactly
xpost

that image was too big.and red.sorry..

oxbow pretty much owns this thread

http://www.smother.net/interviews/images/oxbow_live1.jpg

^^^that guy vs. Henry Rollins...

as for The Stones: Charlie Watts.

Exile-era Stones:

Watts > Mick Taylor > Mick Jagger > Keef > Wyman

(this is tough)

You're forgetting that Keith is invulnerable to physical damage.

do the Glimmer Twins also have Wonder Twin powers?

eugene from oxbow is in those ultimate fighting things irl so i'd imagine he'd take rollins easy

John had a horrible temper and would pound people all the time!

Simon > Jason > Porl > Robert

Yeah, John could be a right cunt, contrary to his general reputation.

rollins or danzig?

Dieter Bohlen certainly showed his wife who was toughest...

danzig is like 4'11"

Renaldo>Gordon>Moore>Shelly

Peter > Gillian > Stephen > Bernard

"Tough Girls" Club:

Tennille > Cap't.

Neko > Dan Bejar and Carl Newman

Joan Jett > Blackhearts

danzig lost all his tough guy cache when he got knocked out by that nu metal dude : (

Benny > Anni-Frid > Agnetha > Bjorn

Ron>>Scott>>Iggy>>Dave

Danzig is a midget pussy

"Neko > Dan Bejar and Carl Newman"

Newman almost broke my hand once..

do you want to challenge him,shakey?

Iommi>Butler>>>>>>>>>Ward>>>>>>>>Osbourne

Newman almost broke my hand once..

Details please.

Larry > Adam >>>>> Bono > The Edge

sure

Freddie > Brian > John > Roger

johnny>marky>joey>dee dee

I'd watch out for that John Deacon...likes his drink, that one...

Sporty>Scary>Baby>Ginger>Posh.

"Details please"

might be the strongest handshake ever...

That's the matchup I had trouble deciding, Brian vs John - but since May is taller... (xxpost)

Dennis>>>>Mike>>Carl>>Al>>>>>Brian

Genesis > Cosi > Sleazy > Chris

Big Boi>>>>Andre

Dennis>>>>Mike>>Carl>>Al>>>>>Brian

seems about right...

Bowie > Ronson > Bolder > Woodmansey

But Bowie admits himself he's not much cop at punching other people's dads.

ODB > Raekwon > GZA/Genius > Ghostface > Method Man > Masta Killa > Inspectah Deck > U-God > RZA

I tend to prefer the least tough member. The nerd of the band is the true artistic genius.

That was pre-Spiders - he's learnt to fight dirty since then... (xxpost)

That would make Lol Tolhurst the true artistic genius of The Cure, Geir.

haha his name is lol.

Charlie > Keith > Brian > Bill > Mick

Keith is like the Oscar de la Hoya of rock

Barry > Andy > Maurice > Robin

Anderson > Wakeman > Squire > Bruford > Howe

Emerson > Palmer > Lake

Barry > Andy > Maurice > Robin

lolz

Scott (or Johnson)>Williams>Rudd>M. Young> A. Young

and Wakeman takes the rest of Yes out easy.

Cindy > Fred > Ricky > Kate > Keith

Rick Wakeman was a big football player...plus, he did his live shows on ICE!...dude had skills, I'd pick him over Jon Anderson any day of the week...

Tina >>>> Ike

Lou Reed>the rest of the velvet's

Battle Royale here:

Hart>Lesh>Kreutzmann>Weir>>>>Donna>>>Garcia>>>>>any dead keyboardist

someone want to try the Who? my best guess is

Daltrey > Moon > Entwistle > Townshend

but I think they were all bruisers

Play > Kid

Entwistle over Moon

no. Moon wins.

Jazzy Jeff>Fresh Prince

"no. Moon wins."

Crazy

to be fair, though, wasn't that dude like 6'6"?

I posted the video upthread

King>Araya>Hanneman>Lombardo

Jazzy Jeff>Fresh Prince

maybe then, but Will's pretty buff now...(played Ali!)

he didnt know fear! (Moon)

No way Entwistle>Moon>Daltrey>Townsend. Entwistle was like 6'6 wasn't he?

"the Ox"

That would make Lol Tolhurst the true artistic genius of The Cure, Geir.

He probably was the most important member besides Robert Smith. That being said, Smith is more of an artist type than a "tough guy" as well.

I'm trying to do Pavement but it's sort of an extremely-resistable-force-meets-very-easy-to-move-object thing

the drummers always have a default advantage on this issue

Tobi > Kathleen > Kathi > Billy

I thought that Scott was the bruiser of this bunch. Ron admits as much in Please Kill Me.

(the smart money is always on the bald-headed drummer)

Graham > Dave > Damon > Alex (not that any are tough.. but perhaps Graham was nuts enough. Alex seems to me a happy, laid-back drunk.)

But Damon may rank higher simply because he's had to fend off so many ass kickings in his life.

i would have maybe agreed until recently when i saw an BBC crown jewels live performance of an early smiths performance and goddamn moz is HUGE compared to the rest of them and marr is a midget! he was soooo widdle!

you've gotta be pretty cut to fill out those mesh buttondowns

yeah, but srsly moz looked like he was a foot taller than marr at least

maybe that's why Marr was all into weights and exercise in the Electronic days...Moz has had boxer pics on his LP covers...maybe the guy can bring it...

Avey Tare > Panda Bear > Geologist > Deacon

I think Moz would be a pretty heavy contender

Hooky > Ian > Stephen > Barney

bearded dudes always seem tough...(Chuck Norris Syndrome)

Dusty = Billy > Frank

too close to call

skynyrd would be a tough one, all those dudes looked like they were down 2 rumble...actually i'd prolly take southern rock as a genre for fightin' and fussin'

Billy towers over Dusty so he wins.

Skynrd and the Allmans both had like 30 guys each in the band, you could have a whoe tournament there.

would have to be a Smackdown...

elton john ))<>(( bernie taupin

forever.

30 southern rockers...6 sets of instruments...one stage...who ends up rockin'?

Marx > Adams > Avalanche > Hussey > Eldritch

I heard one of the original Skynyrd dudes telling a story about having to fight their way out of a bar after they hired Ed King on while he was still officially employed by another band (might've still been with Strawberry Alarm Clock?). I go the impression Van Zant was not afraid to throw knobs if need be.

I see the cool thing on this thread is to say the female member of the band is the toughest. Didn't know the distaff rock crew could throw down like this.

"30 southern rockers...6 sets of instruments...one stage...who ends up rockin'?"

Dunno, but I bet there would be some serious facial furniture involved.

Berry > Mills/Buck/Stipe.

it's the unibrow!

"Skynyrd sounded pretty pussy when that dude came to get Linda Lou back off them at The Jug."

Apparently the guy had a gun. Instead of begging and crying for his life he asked for a three step head start and took off. I think that's pretty ballsy.

"Kim > Thurston > Lee > Steve"

Ah, more subversive originality. I get it.

Naw, I saw her kick a photographer in the head once

You think Diamond Dave couldn't take Sammy? I mean, Alex, I'll give you, but Sammy?

Has Dino jr. been covered? I didn't see it.

Mascis>Murph>Barlow, I'd bet.

Diamond Dave is a world-class mountain climber and jungle adventurer, yo.

Jerome > Monte Moir > Jellybean > Jimmy > Terry > Morris > Siamese twins joined at the suit

Dino > Frank > Sammy

I'm having a hard time getting Google to corroborate the Ed King/ fight story. :/

yeah Diamond Dave also heavily into martial arts - I'd put him as "toughest" just ahead of Alex, who would be powered by bonafide assholism + alcoholism

x-post

Dave says his inspiration for his high kicks is kicking jew-haters in the face!

Dino > Frank > Sammy

seems about right...(Steve Lawrence probably woulda taken them all)...

do we think Dave coulda whupped Michael Anthony?...

Jimmy > Jay > Donny > Wayne > Marie > Alan > Merrill

Novoselic > Cobain > Grohl

Not sure about this one. I though that Novoselic's stature might give him the edge and that Grohl, being the nicest guy in rock, would be unable to kick anyone's ass, though I'd peg him to beat Cobain if truly forced or riled...

Frances Bean >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Kurt

Courtney > Alive drummer > Dead drummer > Eric > Melissa

Both of them were pretty buff, for short guys, but Al had some sort of psycho aura, plus he was the older brother, you know how that goes. No problem flipping Dharma and Bloom.

Dean > Damon + Naomi

there is enough animosity amongst this lot to fuel a long, drawn-out affair...the edge goes to Dean, the New Zealander, who is legendarily schooled in the way of the Maori...

Wyatt > Ratledge > Allen > Hopper > Ayers

Grohl, being the nicest guy in rock

PR sucker! 6' tall plus fast hands often equal good fighter.

been pumping iron too, by the looks of it...

How about a Barenaked Ladie FITE! (Again, to the death)

Not sure about this one. Phil is a bit sweetheart, and Coleman's kinda crazy, so I might reverse them. But Nasty Jack Natz is certifiably insane and definitely the toughest of that lot. Steve McMillen could hold his own as well.

From reading the Lynott biography The Rocker years ago, I got the impression that Robertson was always ready to throw down and Gorham was just a crafty guitarist/junkie. The Irish guys were probably all pretty tough.

old GNR:

Duff>Slash>Axl>Izzy>Adler

Izzy vs. Axl is tough. Izzy's a little bigger, but also way drunker.

Mid-period GNR:

Sorum>Gilby Clarke>Duff (having trouble standing at this point)>Slash>Teddy ZigZag (the harmonica guy)>Dizzy>Axl>Tracy>Roberta>976-HORNS

Late period GNR:

Frank Ferrer>Buckethead (sure, he's a nerd, but he's 6'6 and can do karate kicks)>Tommy Stinson>Paul Tobias>Dizzy Reed(looking mean these days)>Bumblefoot>Richard Fortus>Josh Freese>Brain>Axl>Robin Finck>Chris Pit(t)man

The "Next Lennon & McCartney" Final Four Smackdown:

Difford over Tillbrook
McLennan (RIP) over Forster

Difford KO's McLennan in the 6th

xpost: seriously, how can Buckethead throw down with that KFC thing on his head?

Great story in Wrestling Observer Newsletter a few weeks ago about how Hogan was convinced he could take Tyson in a shootfight circa 1989.

What's a shootfight?

yeah, I've heard of a shitfight but never a shootfight...do tell!

Great story in Wrestling Observer Newsletter a few weeks ago about how Hogan was convinced he could take Tyson in a shootfight circa 1989.

Whatever shootfighting is, it's funny that Hogan thought he could beat Tyson in his prime in any kind of fight.

oh, a shitfight, that's when two (or more) opponents engage in the ancient art of feces-throwing...

Maybe Hogan could win that. As long as Tyson wasn't allowed to demolish him.

Whatever shootfighting is, it's funny that Hogan thought he could beat Tyson in his prime in any kind of fight.
Agreed.

Unless the rules of shootfighting are that the challenger has a shooter and the challenged party doesn't.

Lindy Morrison > Robert Forster

Lennox > Stewart

I'm in good spirits, let's break the bandmates rule here and level the playing field for for our little gloomy pal-- Danzig vs. Dio, who wins?

Tony! > Tone! > Toni!

Can someone do Band Aid USA?

Dio has always looked kinda deathly, plus haven't his hands permanently deformed into devil's horns?

Danzig vs. Dio, who wins?

We all do.

(J/K)

Ha!

Dio has always looked kinda deathly, plus haven't his hands permanently deformed into devil's horns?
True, that's pretty badass. But didn't Danzig knock out Bret Micheals at a Black Flag show in LA? Hmm.

Stacia > Lemmy = Brock > Calvert > Dik Mik = King > Turner > Moorcock

But didn't Danzig knock out Bret Micheals at a Black Flag show in LA? Hmm.

Sounds awfully dubious. Not that Danzig couldn't handle the task, but what would Bret have been doing at a `Flag show?

in the original Alice Cooper group, Mike Bruce would have laid waste to the eternally soused Glen Buxton, but would have had his hands full with the towering "platinum god" Neil Smith...Coop and Dennis Dunaway simply would have out-run the others to safety...

this is so otm

but swap billy and melissa

If this was run as a "knockout tournament" (and why wouldn't it), you want to know who would be in the final?

Dieter Meyer of Yello, that's who.

I reckons, anyway.

manuel was so fucking frail esp by the last waltz he looked like he would break an arm falling over! get out of town

i feel like people just use threads like this to list the order of how "cool" they think ppl are.

louis > zayn > liam > harry > niall

pavarotti = carreras > domingo

nah I'm not fronting I think Manuel was a scrappy dude in the mid 60s

hmmm maybe but by the last waltz he looks like he could get knocked over by a stiff breeze

charlie >>>>>>> keith >>> mick and ronnie

Roth>Alex>>>>>>Michael Anthony>>>>>>Eddie

Petty>Harrison>Dylan>>>>>>>>Lynn>>>>>>>>Orbison

I w/ UMS - Helm> Danko> Manuel> Robbie> Garth - Rick had meaty fists, Richard seemed feral but fragile

Moon>Daltrey>Entwistle>Townshend

(pure guesswork aside from the Rog KOs Pete story)

Collins > Rutherford > Banks > Gabriel > Hackett

Daltrey KOd Moon a couple of times, too. And I'm pretty sure Townshend did once.

I'd put it as Entwistle>Daltrey>Townshend>Moon. None of them even so much as threatened to hit John. And on the rare occasion where John flipped out, everyone scurried.

Moon was tiny and weak and drunk all the time Daltry would kick the shit out of him

ok, i didn't know how beatable a drunk he was

Daltrey was kicked out of the band for a few weeks in 1965 for punching Moon and throwing his amphetamines down the toilet. Deciding he didn't want to go back to his old job at the sheet-metal factory, he begged to be let back in, promising to go along with whatever they wanted to do, and that he'd never hit any of the band again (and he didn't, apart from when he knocked Townshend unconscious in 1973 during tour rehearsals for Quadrophenia).

throwing his amphetamines down the toilet

ooh harsh toke

Ginger > Scary > Baby > Sporty > Posh

Daltrey did punch Glyn Johns though, during the making of Who Are You.

neutrino > oxide

Ginger>>>>Jack> Eric

Mike > Davy > Micky > Peter

Davy was the most likely to start a fight but his size was a disadvantage. Mike was quiet and generally more a lover than a fighter, but if pressed he could be an animal (like the time Micky called Mike's girlfriend a tramp and Mike broke both of Micky's arms with his bare hands).

I suspect Davy would be the toughest: grew up on the mean streets of Manchester and was a jockey when he was 14.
