who do you think has the coolest attitude-look-sound combination?

my favorite is billy gibbons. from the long beard, the cool guitars, the stage setup, to the great songs. he is just a bad dude

as far as bass players, I still dig jack casady in the airplane's early days. long hair-headband-low slung bass. just looked awesome.

To me personally, the "coolest" guitarist is/was none other than...

Jimi Hendrix 8)

All these decades later, generations of guitarists have still been trying to copy him, and can't do it. Hell, young teenage kids who heard Hendrix for the first few times, sat there and hit the rewind button thinking to themselves, "WTF did he just do?", and can't figure out the lick, tone, and style that Hendrix just did.

Wow.

It took one post for someone to mention Mr Psychedelic Borefest himself.

I would have expected maybe one or two more posts than that.

This is where I always think of Jimmy Page and his Dragon suit. I don't know it can get any cooler than that for me.

Yep, definitely Jimi. The only other person to even come close would be Jimmy Page.

Indeed... I don't even think they were sure about those. Uriah Heep used to nail slippers on the stage floor at the base of Geddy's mic stand. :lol:

I agree with Billy Gibbons, and extend that sentiment to Dusty Hill, who although is a bassist, has some pretty amazing stylistic and visual "thangs" go in' on as well.

I also nominate Jimmie Vaughan...I always dig his retro-Texicano style!
