Dee Snyder on Led Zep Frontman Robert Plant

Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant was not a good frontman, according to Dee Snider What started as Snider paying homage to Rainbow drummer Cozy Powell on Twitter spun out of control and became a debate on rock ‘n’ roll frontmen. One fan said Rainbow singer Ronnie James Dio was one of the great frontmen of all time, but Snider disagreed. Snider name-checked Queen’s Freddie Mercury as a standout singer and frontman. When a Twitter user nominated Plant as one of the greatest frontmen of the 1960s and 1970s, Snider fired back: “I’m a HUGE Plant fan vocally, but he showed me nothing as a performer,” Snider tweeted. “Looked amazing, great hair, stood on stage with one hand raised, and sang his ass off. Not a frontman in my opinion. “And FYI, many great frontmen are not great singers.” He’s entitled to opinion, but that doesn’t mean we won’t drag Snider for having one of the worst takes about Plant’s frontman qualifications. #twistedsister #deesnider #heavymetal #s #hardrock #metal #glammetal #rock
