Jason Newsted(ex-Metallica)

Drummers--
Roger Taylor(Queen)
Neil Peart(Rush)
Lars Ulrich(Metallica)

I really don't have any favorite keyboardists that are part of a band. As you can see, I have a thing for lead singers. I didn't put the bands behind some of them, because I figure it was obvious.

So who are yours?

I definately have to agree with you on those. Here are a few more that I'd like to add to that list:

Lead Singers
Kurt Cobain (of course, you know I'm gonna list him. His vocal skills weren't the greatest, but there was such a beautiful element of pain in it.)
Anthony Kiedes (he's such a fun lead-singer)
Jim Morrison
Eddie Reyes (from Taking Back Sunday. Another beautifully painful lead singer)


Lead Guitarists
Jimmy Page
John Frusciante(he's so fun to listen to. you can just hear it and know it's him)

Bass Guitarists
Flea(ok, the whole 'Chili Pepper gang is fun....)

Drummers
Dave Grohl (gotta love him. his beats just become part of the melody.)
