Lead Singers Who Don't Play An Instrument

[KISSFREAK]

What lead singer of any band plays no instrument ??

I believe. . . . . . .
Vince Neal doesn't play one - Motley Crue
DLR doesn't play one - Van Halen
Stephen Percy - RATT

I have seen all three in concert and none of them played an instrument

Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin
Roger Daltrey of the Who
Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones
Peter Gabriel of Genesis

Off the top of my head

Brian Johnson - AC/DC
Dio
Rob Halford - Judas Priest
Jim Morrison - The Doors
Marilyn Manson

Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin
Roger Daltrey of the Who
Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones
Peter Gabriel of Genesis

Those were the 3 of the first 4 that came to mind for me

shit, forgot about Jim Morrison. and what about Ozzy, he didn't play any instruments, correct?

 

[Lynch]

The VAST majority of well known front men don't play an instrument, at least it seems that way.

 

[Aktivator]

Peter Gabriel of Genesis

not true Peter plays the flute, keyboards, piano and actually a few other instruments. He doesn't play any of them to perfection but still not bad

Robert Plant and Roger Daltry can play guitar and harmonica, and I think Mick Jagger can play piano???

Check out Oz here, quite nifty on the old harmonica

I've seen that video and a couple of other ones... I've got a feeling that Ozz is holding the harmonica as a prop and the actual harp playing is either a recording or someone offstage playing it. Watch the video from about 1:01 to 1:08 and you can see where he moves away from the mic and suddenly it starts playing again and he's not on it. The rest of the audio/video seems to be sync'd up, so I don't think that's the issue. I could be wrong, but I've thought this before.

There's actually been some footage I've seen from Ozzfest tours in recent years I'm not sure Ozzy is even singing live.
