That Ain't Right! Rock Stars Who Shouldn't Play Guitar!

It's part of our human make up to be curious about the grass on the other side of the fence. Rock stars are no exception.

Guitar gods frequently yearn to be lead singers. And lead singers often can't resist the temptation to strap on an axe. The catch is it seldom works.

Sure, there are double threats who can sing and play really well, but this post isn't focused on them.

Instead, here's some examples of lead singers who just don't look right with a guitar. Not saying they can't play. Just saying that they shouldn't try. It simply doesn't work.

Witness Madge looking pained as she struggles to strum.

Love Daltrey, but isn't being Tommy enough for him?

Anyone believing Mick's amp is plugged in? Shhhhhh. Don't tell him anything!

I'm on the fence on The King. It's clear he actually played a little when he started out in the Sun Records days. By the Vegas years though, the guitar had transitioned to mainly prop status. I wouldn't bet against this one being made out of paper mache.

Happy November!
