🎤 Heights of Best Rock Singers Of All Time | Tallest and Shortest Rock Frontmen
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 січ 2024
- Giving out the title of best frontman in rock is like crowning someone the king of rock and roll. There are so many factors that go into deciding the greatest front man (or woman) in rock that dubbing just one the head of all rock royalty seems nearly impossible. And yet, like the Highlander, there can be only one.
What makes a lead singer the best frontman in classic rock? Is it the rock singer with the best stage presence, or does being the front man of the best live band in rock history automatically propel you to the top of the list of the best frontmen in rock? Does being one of the greatest singers of all time get you the title of greatest frontman? How about being a famous enough rock star to rack up multiple Rolling Stone cover photos? That's up to the music-loving masses to vote on.

The type of people who say 5' 12" are the same people who tell you their baby is 24 months old.
My baby is 238 months old.
And they'll tell you something lasted 3.7 minutes.😊
Like Neil deGrasse Tyson who equates something weighing as much as X amount of "elephants".
@PhantomFilmAustralia
No in that case Tyson is just trying to give context by comparing things to something people can understand . People do the same when the compare something to football fields or the weight of X amount of cars or as tall as X amount of Empire state buildings. It's pretty a common way to help people conceptualize a size.
In this case it's a failure to use the most appropriate unit of measurement. And in te case of the video they use the most appropriate unit but but use a smaller unit when they are already using the lager unit. Normally when you use a unit you use that unit until you run its maxed out then go to the next smaller one, either ft to inches or ft to a decimal would make sense. But throwing in inches when you still have enough to make another foot is weird. Or using months when you have multiple years is weird.
I'll say this, I have heard athletes, especially basketball players say thing like he's 6 ft 14, but that is just a joke to imply he plays like a smaller quicker guy, with speed and skill rather than a lumber giant.
@@robertosborn9910 And how many people in the Western World have even seen a live elephant to have any idea to reference the weight? It's ridiculous. Far better off equating the weight of something people actually have reference to, like a bus.
5’12” is 6’. 😉
Nope, it's 4' 24".
Yeah, 5‘12“? Who says that?
Ah,certainly.
Perhaps,that is 5'11".(as 182cm)

That is Dave Grohl's height.
Tommy Lee 12 inches
Peter Steele
January 04. 1962 - April 14. 2010
He stood 6"8 😢
RIP Pete 😭🤘🏻
RiP 😔
Type O Negative baby!
I was about to make this same reply. Glad I checked first!
I've twice visited his grave, his family's plot, on Long Island.
It's something how there are so many very short frontmen. Men under 5' 7" are fairly uncommon, generally. Maybe there's a Napoleon Complex that gets these guys to want to prove themselves or control perceptions. Lots of very short male actors, too.
Wrong, he was 5' 20"
It is funny how so many singers who I would expect to be tall are actually short, and a few that I thought were short are actually tall.
Humphrey bogart jimmy cagney edward g robinson Allen lad short actors
Or the list is simply made up of wrong numbers.
Yes, it's so funny that I experienced giddiness and wet myself
It in the way they're proportioned. Prince looks about 5'7", actually shorter.
@@LaVanderou812 yeah
How is Jack Black in a "best rock singers of all time" list? He's not bad, but come on!
Dennis De Young and Kevin Cronin in this list, no Hollies Allan Clarke, wow this must be a joke 🤡
Yep, Ronnie James Dio was a little guy, but a very gracious man with huge talent. I met Dio in person at an autograph session in 1984, not only did he give me his autograph, but I asked to take a picture with him, and he nicely obliged. I remember he got out of his chair, stood next to me, and the picture was taken. I still have the photo to this day. RIP to Ronnie James Dio. Arguably the best Rock singer ever.
Much agreed his voice is special and can never be duplicated!!His heart was as Big as his Voice He is sorely Missed in the Metal Kingdom!!!!
"Yep,Ronnie James Dio was a little guy" wtf does that supposed to mean?
Великий рок певец
Saw Dio one time.
Also had the Scorpions, and Deep Purple as the headliners.
Hell of a show!!!
George Harrison, Elvis, Roy Orbison Chuck Berry???
Unbelievable some of the very greatest rock singers of all time left off..what ignorant idiot compiled this list!
No, Bret Michaels and Belinda Carlisle are much better 😂😂
Bowie?
Chuck Berry was very tall and had HUGE hands. Shook his hand after one of the 5 times I saw him play live and his fingers were like tentacles.
I've met Chuck. He's about 6'1" - 6'2". I also shook his hand and the other commenter is right: huge hands. He also refused my request for an autograph. 'Naw man, I only sign autographs for chicks.' LOL, true story. And the story is better than the autograph. This list mentions Brad Delp who was more like 5'11" but doesn't mention who by far is the tallest musician I've ever met: Tom Scholz. Despite all of the bad things I've heard about Tom, he couldn't have been nicer. I would say he's about 6'6".
Dave is the only man in the world that can be 5'12''. Just because hes Dave.
You must be talking about 'Big Head' Dave Lee Roth! Massive ego.
@@jameslanclos568 no Dave Grohl. Just because hes awesome. Roth is a prick.
Let me wait for 61 seconds to understand this.
They've also got Buddy Holly at 5'12" but with a metric height of 182cm, less than the 5'7 3/4" ones around him....including Dave
He's not 5'12"! He's 4'24"!
You included Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham but forgot 6ft6 Mick Fleetwood.
It was a list of rock singers not musicians.
@@kato64then why is Santana there.
@@stevenprice6957 - Good point. He shouldn’t be. Has never sang to my knowledge. At least outside of the shower or his car. lol
Roger Waters was 6'4", he shrunk by 4"? Stephen Stills is definitely not 6' tall. Some of these are incorrect. Robert Plant is 6'1"
I've seen Stills a few times in concert. It is laughable what he is listed at here.
Van Zant at almost 6'.. Maynard at 6'1??
Stills is a shorty for sure , as was Crosby............
Plant is definitely 6"1.
As I mentioned in another comment, this list is way off. I knew Brad Delp and he was no 5'6" - more like 5'11". I've met Peter Wolf a number of times and he's not 5'11". He is more like 6'1" - 6'2".
Bowie, Sid Vicious, Elvis, Eddie Van Halen, George and Ringo
No mike Patton and Ian Anderson are better 😂
If David Grohl is 5' 12" then I'm 5' 17" 😂
He's 6 ft. Met him in person. I'm 5'10 and he was a couple of inches taller.
5' 12" = 6'.
I'm 4' 29" myself.
I am 1' and 58" in height. I am 1 year and 710 months old. @@Wichitan
The man won't let him get to 6 feet.@@TheJpep2424
Dave grohl is 5'12"?
Dang, I'm only 4'27".
How could you forget Peter Steele at 6"8? The melancholy green giant.
Really surprised by the small size of Roger DALTREY (The WHO). I have seen him on stage twice from a rather short distance. He looked much taller than 1.65 meters (and very athletic).
Nobody is 5'12. You're either 5'11 or 6' feet tall 🥴
🤣 glad I'm not the only one who caught that 🤣🤘✌️
McCartney was an inch taller than Lennon. Look at pictures of them standing together.
Lifts and boot heels make it really hard to tell.
LOL!
@@fazoleyea but look at Abbey Road photo where Paul is barefoot
Rumor is there were 2 Paul McCartneys. One before and another one after the auto accident.
If you see the Beatles' outfits at the R&R HOF, they seem rather small.
Ronnie Van Zant was not 5' 10 and a half inches. He was a little guy around 5'5". Saw Skynyrd live in 1974.
5-7
That's what I thought.
And Johnny VanZant is not 5ft 9 I've met him and have a picture of him standing next to me and I'm 5ft 7 and he's just a little bit shorter than me
Ronnie was about 5'5" and looked even shorter on stage. Allen Collins, Leon Wilkerson and Gary Rossington would wear boots and Ronnie would be bare foot making him look really short.
My Heroes are all Dwarfs
These numbers are way off. Just made up. Take no stock in it.
Hahahaha "It sucks when your 5' 2" and can't get on the adult rides at amusement parks!" - Prince
Hahahaha. . . Bono (5' 5") is addicted to eating shrimp!
I was an extra in a movie years ago that Mick Jagger was in. One day I was stood feet away from him. He is not 5'10''. I'm 5'9'' and am taller than him. He's more like 5'7''.
Buddy Holly was 6', not 5'12". There's 12 inches in a foot.
Pretty silly mistake. Wrong flag for Van Morrison, Northern Ireland as well. Should either be the red hand of Ulster or the UK union flag
I never knew that Joey Ramone was 5' 18"
How could this list not have Elvis on it ? He was 6' tall 😊
Or 5'12" 😂
Paul McCartney is 5'11. Lennon was definitely a tad shorter than him.
Joey Ramone was very tall he was 6'6^
At least. More 6"8, he stooped all the time
So interesting and many surprises
Paul McCartney might be 5'9 and some change now but he was always listed at 5'11 in the Beatles..he was probably a weak 6'0 at his peak. Always had that slight edge in height over John.
not even , all the beatles were short...McC , 5 6 or 7 " tops.
No be didn't. They're the same height in photos. And celebs lie about height in profiles and media. He was never 6 ft.
Yeah and George Harrison was a least 5' 10"1/2
The three Beatles were all between 179 cm and 180 cm, Paul being slighty taller the the other two.
I met Eric Clapton in person and I think he is around 175 cm, maybe less. Same with Mick Jagger, shorter than that
Maybe. But Paul made the claim himself towards the film Nowhere Boy which mentions about his height "I've not seen it yet. I saw some early rushes of it and the whole thing came off well. But I want to tell Sam Taylor-Wood off as I hear that my character is not as tall as John - I'm not having that! Both of us are 5ft 10 and a half!". So would a 5ft 11½" man claim 5ft 10½"? Hm, less likely.
These heights were exaggerated in thirpeak but most have shrunk considerably. Especially the deadones.
I was intersted to see that the late Buddy Holly was 5'12"!
No freakin' way Stephen Stills is taller than Neil Young.
Maynard is quite far from 6'1". He is more like 5'7", and Layne was 6'2"-ish. (According to Mark Lanegan who was 6'4" and they were good friends)
Yea I was suspicious about Maynard’s height too.
Maynard 5'7" and Layne 6'1"
Van Zant at almost 6! Nope. Like 5'6"
@@murdock8068 Was 5'7"
same for Billy Gibbons, also not close to being 5'11"
Very interesting
I've met Anthony Kiedis-if he's 5'8, then I'm 7' tall; dude is tiny.
So was disappointed because you wanted to be touched by a tall dude, I see tall dudes turn you on.
The King of Rock and Roll
The King of Heros,,, at your picture!!!
Thank you for including Michael Hutchence! ❤❤❤
This video makes me so excited! You did great
Most of these guys are considered short, even dwarfish, but hugely successful and of course can get just about any woman they want. That's a reality check on this recent obsession with height. It's always been a factor but blown way out of proportion.
C an get any woman they want ? really ? most of them are haggard old men............
No Way Jagger is 5'10"
I don’t trust these videos at all.
Especially when they have Jack black on the list as a rocker.
Why should we trust you?
@@rbname7318He's a true tribute to rock'n'roll! Hail Satan!!!
I did until now
Ronnie james dio. One of the smallest guys on the list, but he's got the mightiest voice by far.
Judge him not by his size. You can’t put a measure on inches on his voice.
Robert Plant is 6 feet, 2 inches tall. Always has been. I've seen a few of these that are way off!
This list is weird. Gene Simons is also taller than Paul Stanley.
I always heard he was 6 or 6'1" but, 6'2" seems right from the pictures I've seen and the videos online.
I wonder if they are using Celebheights for current height? Robert Plant has a spine curvature illness which may have dropped him under 6 foot. Surprised about Neil Young here as 5’10 who was also over 6 foot in his youth but he has terrible posture these days.
You can’t *ALWAYS* be 6’2”. I was 6’2” my entire adult life, but at age 70, that is no longer the case. 😁
@@ChipG3000 right. My mom was 5'10" as a young adult. By the time she was in her 70's, she was like 5'4".
Unfortunately, we're all shrinking as we get older and our spines sort of "crunch" together.
I'm willing to bet good money that Robert Plant is no longer 6'2" any longer, though he still is pretty tall for his age. Gotta account for those high heeled snakeskin boots he always wore as well. Not sure if he still wears those things?
Dave Mathews is 6/1....really looks shorter
I am also 5' 12" but you can round that off to 6'. Strange to find out that a lot of these giants of the music industry were not really giants at all.
You left out ELVIS!!
Oh it doesn't matter how tall or short he was, because he'll always be The KING OF MUSIC!!!!
For the record, Elvis Presley's height is usually given at around 6'0".
He's around 6'1" apparently..can't believe they left the king of the list, how dumb is that!😮
Was 5"11
No..always reported as between 6' and 6'1"
A solid 6fter was Elvis
You left out: Elvis Presley, Benjamin Orr, Bob Seger, Cyndi Lauper, Madonna, Whitney Houston, Laura Branigan, Olivia Newton-John, Aretha Franklin, Marie Fredrickson, James Brown, Bruce Dickinson, John McCafferty, Kenny Rogers, Kenny Loggins, John Oates, Chad Kroeger, Suzi Quatro, Joan Jett, Lita Ford.
Madonna, Whitney Houston, kenny Rogers They are not rockers
Elvis Presley was 4 foot 10inch
Elvis was 6’ 1/2” and the greatest of all and left off the list. That’s just stupid.
Bruce Dickinson is in the list.
Suzie Quatro was 11" 6
A very tall musician was Papa John Phillips, he stood 6'5''. Another short male musician is Frankie Valli with 5'5''. A very short female is Brenda Lee with just 4#9''
The list was supposedly of best rock singers.
Krist Novoselic is 6.8.
@@kato64 With some generousity John Phillips, Frankie Valli and Brenda Lee can be considered as rock singers.
We have Robin and Barry Gibb and George Michael on this list, and it is very generous to call this musicians rock singers.
We have also Carlos Santana on this list, and calling him a singer is generous as well, since he is a guitarrist in the first place.
Why is it important to know the heights of rock stars? What imbecile would even make a video like this?
@@Deadlyhallow I think his singing in "Black Magic Woman" is pretty good. 🎶🎵🎶🎶
Joey for the win! Had no idea Jack White was so tall. Thanks data set.
Can confirm. I'm 5'2 and have stood next to him, he is talllllllll
I met Joey too. Granted I was 5 and wan even tinyer than I am now (4'10"). But I was standing next to him and he was so tall. I guess I said to him " wow you're really tall!" So he said "wow you're really short!" I then told him I liked him and he laughed and said he liked me too. So he was really nice to my 5 year old self and dad thought it was great.
Peter Steele: 6’8
Maybe not one of the “best” but I would argue many that were listed were not among the best.
I guess someone forgot to measure Bob Dylan, Pete Townshend and Elvis Presley.
Elton John? Ringo Starr? George Harrison?
@elenaalbertelli3623 Yeah, it's a pretty long list. I thought Dylan and Presley were the two most obvious omissions though.
David Bowie
@@DonaldDasher Yep. Didn't see Tom Waits either.
Yeah, Bob Dylan is such a great singer😂😂
I’ll take all that with a pinch of salt because I’m 5-10 and have Met Rod Stewart on several occasions and he ain’t the same height as me 🤣🤣🤣
Exactly. Geddy Lee also. He ain't 5'10
Maybe 5'7
Exactly !!
Yes many are not accurate . MJ was about 5'11 not 5'9 .
@@SJ-ty5rw 5'9
But remember Rod Stewart is in his 70s meaning he'll have lost height. In his younger days he looked a strong 5'10".
Never realised Roger Daltrey was so short or Brian Wilson so tall. You can't tell on TV.
I'm 6' -1". I like that better than saying 5'11". I think he's on to something.
You forgot Linda Ronstadt.
I believe this is wrong. Both Keenan and Cobaine were always said to be short.
Cool
Then you better go and put some more clothes on !. Who still says that in 2024 ?.
I guess that believing some of my favorites are/were taller is only in my own mind 🤩
Buddy Holly 5' 12" 😂😂
Phil Everly, Don Everly, Roy Orbison, Elvis Presley, Scott McKenzie, Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, Tré Cool?
Nice one! But Biff Byford (Saxon) and Doro Pesch are missing here! 🎤👊🏻😻
Don't leave out Biff!
Biff is 6'1" I think.
Carlos Santana is NOT 5’9”. I saw him at Mizumi’s in the Wynn in Vegas last month.
Mick Jagger is 5'6" if that at his age. I ended up in an elevator he was in and was shocked at how small he was. Very. Small!!
Maybe 5'8" -no way 5'10"
@@user-jv9qz2bu1r Nope, he's no more than 5'6". My husband is 5'6" so I've used his height as a measurement. Mick is small and thin.
@@crystalship9900 he has no ass - maybe he was 5'8" in his prime and 5'6" now... he and John Lennon and Bowie all about the same size
@@user-jv9qz2bu1r It was 20 years ago when I saw him. He was no more than 5'6". Period.
when I met them in the '70s Mick was as tall as I was and I am 5'8"
Hendrix was taller than me when he walked passed me and I am 5 ft 10,
Yeah that one jumped off the page to me. Also, Steve Marriott needed to be on this list and I didn't even know Carlos Santana was a singer of any note.
He probably wore high heels
Cuban heels were is style back then.
Wow, some shovel heights listed here on this list !
If he’s 5’12”, then the time right now is 4:80 am.
I have to say that this list is a bit of a mess. There are singers here whose heights are completely off, i.e. Paul McCartney, Stephen Stills, Dave Grohl is mentioned twice on the list, there are heights out of sequence, and you've even got 5'12" as a height on it somehow! If human hands were responsible for assembling this list, I would be surprised.
Edit: also how did Neil Young not make it onto here? I know he's not the best singer, but his songwriting work definitely deserves a spot on this list.
Neil Young appears at 6:23
Verdade, Paul McCartney é John Lennon tem quase 1.80
Neil Young was out, looking for a heart of gold.
Neil Young is on the list, and he is an amazing singer. And songwriter. And guitarist.
Neil Young is on here.
Missed John Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas, Height. 6ft 5. ( not a singer , but Krist Novoselic, Bassist for Nirvana is 6 foot 7 inches)
Hoffs,O'Riordan,Nicks 3 fabulous voices 3 gorgeous ladies
Dio was literally an elf in his original band called Elf! He’s on the Mount Rushmore of metal singers.
Susanna Hoffs, Tina Turner and Kate Bush, despite their physical stature, stand tall, same as Simone Biles.
Sorry, this data is incorrect
Ronnie Van Zant looks a bit shorter than 5-10 in the pics I've seen. I'd say he was about 5-6, give or take.
@@englishciderlover7347You are correct.

Novoselic aint vocalist
@@autywizja he’s Nirvana bassist
This list is for singers.
I knew Brad Delp. He was about 5’11”. I’ve met Peter Wolf a number of times. I would put him at about 6’1” or 6’2”. In every Beatles photo I’ve ever seen, Paul is taller than John yet he’s listed as shorter. I’ve met Joe Strummer a number of times and 5’8” may be accurate but I’d say more like 5’7”. I wouldn’t put too much stock in these numbers.
How is "THE KING OF ROCK AND ROLL" not on this list? 😮
I like the Dave Grohl 5'-12". I love telling the DMV that my height is 5'-12" when asked. They're to stupid to figure that out when the drop-down window only shows 6'-0".
Never knew Billy Joel and Brad Delp were on the small side. And Roger Daltrey, I already knew he was short, but 5'4" and change? I thought he was taller than that. Thanks so much for this.
and they are all taller than me! I am 5’0 and I have met Glenn Danzig, Alice Cooper, Iggy Pop, several members of Rammstein, Marilyn Manson, Maynard James Keenan, (is not 6’1, he’s shorter) and several other people. Iggy Pop is very short, but he’s more that one inch taller than me. Glenn is a few inches taller than me. I have always thought he might be a little taller than what everyone says. I had photos of us standing next to each other and I’m noticeably shorter. Till Lindemann is shorter than he seems but huge in width. Oliver is like 7 feet tall. Alice Cooper I believe is shorter than what it says here.
Mick Jagger is closer to 5-1 than 5-10
No. 5'10
Same height as 5'10" david Bowie.
Some of these are quite wrong - proves you can't believe everything on the internet.
Paul mccartney is 180/179
Maynard is 6''1". That would make Danny Carey 8'4". That's one big drummer
Mick Jagger is not 5ft 10, according to melody maker in 1970 he is 5ft 7
5'12" is 6'
I had no idea Dolores, Stevie and Prince were all the same height.
Mind Absolutely Blown🤯🤯
At 6’2’’ and a bit, I always considered myself about average for a man of my generation and my geographic area. It never ceases to amaze me, how tiny most celebrities are. Perhaps there’s a bit of a Napoleonic element in their ambition to become famous. And hats off, the directors of photography really know how to mask their lack of height. They never appear short in the movies.
The average height of an American Male is 5'9". One inch taller than the rest of the world.
I often wonder if men would rather be 1 inch taller or 1inch longer?
It's not how tall you are but the size of your schlonger. Short guys usually pack more meat.
