as a spin off from the small rock starts thread:

Can anyone name some tall (6'2" and above)people that are musically talented?

I saw Chris Novoselic at a bar in Olympia a couple weeks ago, and he seemed really tall. I'm 6'3, and he's taller than me. Oh, and Ric Ocasek.

Ed O'Brien of Radiohead is 6'5", but I don't know if he actually qualifies as talented. He takes the drugs and bangs the chicks and occasionally contributes a chord or two to a song. Certainly considered a talent in some circles.

Billy Corgan is one big bald dude. And Skid Row's Sebastian Bach, of course.

Tim Baxendale is a giant but it seems not everyone would agree that he's musically talented.

Isnt lou reed huge.

Anthony: No, I think he's about my height (5'9"-ish), by comparison with him standing adjacent to Laurie Anderson (who is 5'2").

The obvious response to this thread: Marilyn Manson is 6'3" and really lanky, which makes him look even taller.

Joey Ramone was pretty big, as I recall.

he wasn't big, he was just tall, that's all.

Jennifer and Neil from Royal Trux of course are very tall. Extra coolness factor. Although I bumped into Jennifer after a concert (so to speak) and I don't think she's as tall as me (6'2" to be precise) still pretty tall for a woman, so that counts too.

doesn't lester bangs refer to lou reed as a "death dwarf" or something? always had the impression that he was short.

David Keegan from the Shop Assistants - he's still the Number One pop star in my book.

Nick Cave. The girl from obscure Brighton band Earwig was uncannily tall, but I'll allow that she might not be considered a pop star. Don Fleming of Gumball must be around 6' 2".

― Jerry, Sunday, 5 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

but earwig became insides and they made a wondeful record. dave saunders formerly from the 3ds is tall, he looks like he shares thurston moore's body.
