Best Live Showman?

Postby MARV » Wed May 03, 2006 2:23 am

I'm going with Dave Gahan. That guy pours his entire soul into every song, making for deep and layered emotional interpretations of Depeche Mode songs.

Gotta give a nod to Danny Elfman during his Oingo Boingo days. Those were always fun shows. And Michael Hutchence had charisma to spare.

Yes Danny Elfman was awesome in concert.
Henry Rollins was pretty intense too, then he'd stop and read some poetry....[:p]

Gotta go with Danny Elfman and Oingo Boingo.

Gahan and Gore are great though. Saw them in Anaheim earlier this year.

Most energy of an 80's New Wave act touring now: Bow Wow Wow. Annabella Lwin rocks!

Of the ones I've seen:
Bono
Jay Kay

Alex Kapranos from Franz Ferdinand is pretty cool too.

What about Teri Nunn of Berlin, she's a tiny little dynamo and she sure looks good for her age!!! She struts through the crowd and loves every minute of it!!!

But I also love Dave Gahan with all my heart also, and Morrissey.
