Eric is tall enough....wouldn't call him short.

Neither would I. He's definately taller than Perry and Schon.

I'm about 5'2"...

Awww, great pic Donna. Definately a great weekend!

Couldn't be more thrilled to realize all 3 of my favorite singers are such nice guys.

Not sure, but he looks shorter than Eric Martin. Here is a vid of him and Eric Martin in a band they were in together 2 or 3 years ago called TMG.

I'm kinda surprised no one else has mentioned him (especially Andrew), but...isn't former Midnight Oil front man Peter Garrett about seven feet tall?

I'm only 5' 6", and the guy freakin' towered over me when I met him a few years ago.

;^)

Tall= Tom Scholz & Chuck Negron. I think they were both offered pro basketball tryouts or joining a team.

Fun topic Susie.I hope I'm converting the right way...You might like to know that Adrian Vandenberg is huuuuge. :lol:

6'5".

Short guys?There are so many and I can't help noticing that the shorter they are the better they sing.
I'd mention here Klaus Meine - met him a couple weeks ago...He had to look up to meet my eyes and I even wasn't wearing heels. He's no taller than 5'4".

Oh,Glenn Danzig is a little one too,something like 5'3".

How about Udo Dirkschneider from Accept? He's a short little guy (I think only 5 ft.?) And I didn't realize Glenn Danzig was only 5'4"? Just read that somewhere...

If you really want short, you can get any of the guys from Mini-KISS!

by **Pstburp** » Tue Nov 27, 2007 12:29 am

Tall=Fish,Gene Simmons

Short=Udo Dirkschneider,Phil Collins

I'm 6'1", and he was a good 3" taller than me. Maybe more. Don't laugh, bad hair day.

Nah...I'm about 6'2" or 6'3" and was the same height as Jeff when I stood next to him.

Your are correct, sir... Jeff is 6'3", Sebastian Bach is 6'3" also...Jeff is the best of the tallest frontmen...
Perry the best of the short ones!!!!!! :lol:

Udo from Accept. Short in stature, but a rock god!

by **Big J** » Tue Nov 27, 2007 7:47 am

What about Tommy Shaw...he strikes me as a little dude.

by **Phen** » Tue Nov 27, 2007 7:50 am

Steve Marriott was a small bloke... he wasn't frontman of the Small faces for nothing.

by **RedWingFan** » Tue Nov 27, 2007 7:51 am

Jack Blades was pretty tiny also. Can't be much taller than 5'0"

Nope. I am 6'3" and everytime we see each other, we do the height thing. He is 6'2.5". Not quite 6'3".

by **Rockindeano** » Tue Nov 27, 2007 8:12 am

Kevin Cronin is a twerp as is BA..Both 5'6"??

Toby Keith is a good 6'5" and Meatloaf..that fucker is a round ball of spaghetti..don't know how tall but he is,.... ugly as fuck, but can sing.

Dean, did you see the brunette chick that's on tour with him? Aspen Miller, she's hot and can flat out sing. I took my wife to see 'loaf in Cleveland.

I don't think Steven Tyler is in this conversation. I've stood next to him, and while he isn't a tall guy, he is NOWHERE near Prince's level of being vertically challenged! In fact, I think he's probably right around 5'9", which last time I checked is actually considered "average" height for a guy!

John from Boston

Didn't Meat Loaf lose like 100lbs??? Last time I saw that dude on VH1, he was not even close to the size he was back in the 70's and 80's! On another note, I agree 100% that he looks like he fell out of an ugly tree and wacked his head on every branch on the way down to the ground, but, that fucker can flat out sing!

He's not a bad actor either. My wife and I watched a movie he was in recently. I don't know how old the movie was, but he was really good in it.

'Loaf would be a great choice for Journey. He can hit those notes.

Well if he fronted them "Do You Recall" would become a 12 minute epic. :roll:

He's pretty good at dragging songs out and only playing 8 tracks live.

He and Neal appeared to be similar in height when I saw them on stage together in '01. Shaw and Blades are not too far off in height either...

by **LyricalLady** » Tue Nov 27, 2007 1:03 pm

After seeing Joe Lynn Turner at the MelodicRockFest in South Bend this past October....unless I'm missing something, he's not the tallest singer in the row......

by **treetopovskaya** » Tue Nov 27, 2007 1:30 pm
