Billie Joe listed at #25 in Readers Poll of top frontmen

Sep. 14, 2010 / Comments

[newsImage]091410_gibson.jpg[/newsImage]Gibson.com recently unveiled their Top 50 frontmen, along with the top 25 chosen by Gibson.com readers.

Billie Joe made the readers poll list at # 25, but didn't make the final cut of Gibson's Top 50.

While many of the readers' choices are reflected in the overall list, a few didn't make the cut - Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong, Metallica's James Hetfield, KISS's Paul Stanley and the late, great Ronnie James Dio.

How they managed to pick Liam Gallagher (from Oasis) at #39 and Rod Stewart at #22, but completely leave Billie Joe off the top 50 makes absolutely no sense to me.

Anyways, glad the readers of Gibson.com at least recognized him.

Thanks to ErikaAnne for the story
