Gosh, Ed O'Brien is 6'5" Jeoff says on 21/Aug/11
I must say not all of the best musicians were or are short, but probably, the ones who changed history were, or at least they were "normal height", such as: Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Chet Baker, all of the Rolling Stones, Bob dylan, Bob Marley, Freddie Mercury, Eddie Vedder, Jeff Buckley, Kurt Cobain, Thom Yorke, Michael Jackson, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Elliot Smith, John Fogerty, Elton John... I mean, there is a big list, but really, doesn't matter, you don't have to get to the sky to get to heaven. MsKitty says on 23/Apr/11
@Shaun...I have to argue with you on that one...MANY of the best rock stards are short...John Lennon and Paul McCartney-not short...Neil Young-not short...if you like newer or heavier stuff, Rob Zombie-not short...James Hetfield-not short...the list goes on. But yes, I agree that many big voices in rock are short fellas...and yes, some of the best. But you can never say ALL. Btw, Thom Yorke is brilliant no matter how tall he is...guys like him transcend the "limitations" of height. littlesue says on 22/Apr/11
I'd agree with this!! Kelly Jones of the Sterophonics, James Dean Bradfield of the Manics, Bruce Dickinson, Brian Johnson, Dio, the list is endless!! Shaun says on 21/Apr/11
All of the best rock stars are short. Fact. Simon says on 30/Mar/11
@Danny - Yep, that's what I've read too but comparing Colin to Thom, I would not rate him that high. Then again, I have only pictures and video to go from Danny says on 11/Feb/11
@Simon, I've heard 5' 8" for Colin Greenwood. Simon says on 7/Feb/11
How tall would you rate Colin Greenwood? I've seen him listed at 174 cm but there are several scenes in 'Meeting People Is Easy' where he stands directly next to Thom and looks to be either the same height or barely taller. Any opinions? Kelvin says on 2/Feb/11
nobody should care how tall Thom Yorke is okay u listen to music to escape and enter a world that really isn't there radiohead is a great band and Marcus don't call him a shrimp he is a great artist that paints a very vivid picture oh and also i am 15 and i am about 5'2'. Veronica says on 22/Dec/10
I had him standing in front of me (at a distance of a feet apart) for at least five minutes, I would say he is no taller than 5.4, but believe me, his sole presence adds him a lot more inches... MD says on 13/Dec/10
Really, Jamal, STFU. Sorry to be so harsh, but it's posts like yours that totally don't deserve any kind of posting. Jamal says on 12/Dec/10
This guy is definitely at least 6 feet tall. I met him at a pub in NYC. |
