most energetic lead singer

[Dave78]

He might have energy but I am not an Anthrax fan...I tried but never got into them at all.

Have you heard their Sound Of White Noise cd? I'm not a huge Anthrax fan myself, but it's actually very good.

No I haven't heard that album Dave, but I'll have to play them later, kind of in a mellow mood right now.

Yeah, you might want to wait a bit then, lol!

The Chili Peppers in the 80's. Can't believe no one brought them up.

I've seen Sebastian Bach who sang for Skid Row may times live, and that guy lives to be on stage.

I always thought it was Freddy Mercury

Definitely. This is my vote

 

[Cosmic Harmony]

While I stand firmly being Freddie being the most engaging and entertaining lead singer and frontman ever if we're talking strictly from an 80's stance I'd have to pick others. While Freddie put his wonderful piano work on the back burners in the 80's so that he could interact with the crowd more and perfected his craft of being a frontman my picks would be either Axl Rose and David Lee Roth.

Axl used to run back and forth all over Guns N' Roses' huge stage while singing his lungs out and Diamond Dave used to emit energy all over the stage as he did his mid air slips and spinning kicks. Dave even took his Dave-ness to the next level as a solo artist and was just a funny guy who would blow you away this is acrobatics and theatrics.

Gord Downie of the Tragically Hip ~

One of the best !

Nice job Flower !

 

[Groovy Man]

Mick Jagger....the guy is everywear...all over the stage.

 

[Travelin' Man]

I'll cast a vote for Peter Wolf of the J. Geils Band.

This video doesn't have the best audio, but it gives you an idea as to the energy he puts out during their shows. Not too bad for a 63 (at the time) yr old.
