Who're some real life rockstars/musicians, current or "historical" that would be good references and inspirations for bards?

I'm leaning towards Keith Richards.

I'd love to play a character based on Ronnie James Dio but my players are all JoJo fans who yell references over me while I'm trying to narrate. This means most of the musical references I go for with my NPCs get buried too. Completely poisoned the well.

The only ones that worked was a cool Scimitar wielding druid-bard based on Estas Tonne,

and a villain based on DMX.

I don't have a problem with JoJo, I have a problem with verbal landmines.

Jimi Hendrix's roadie.
Thrown out of Hawkwind for taking too many drugs. Sort of like the pope being thrown out for being too catholic.
Wanted to name the band Bastard.
only rock band who were respected by the Punks.

Dont forget us. Our name is motorhead. We play rock n' roll.

Franz Liszt, the first rock star. In the newspaper, it was written "you can tell where the women were sitting by noting which seats were wet." Bitches literally threw themselves at him, tore at his clothes, fought over broken piano strings, threw their clothes on stage. This is in 1830, too.

Philthy Animal Phil Taylor ain't nothing to sneeze at either. Broke his hand, gaffer taped the drumstick to it so he could keep playing. Crazy fucker and a hell of a drummer. Miss that bastard.

I have to respect Lemmy, he's become a legendary singer in a rock band, despite not having the slightest ability to sing whatsoever.

He's like totally deaf man with a reputation as a master orchestra conductor.

Lord of the Princes of the Universe
Who spreads the word of the Savior of the Universe, Flash Gordon
The Killer Queen of Rock
The Champion

I speak of course of Freddie Mercury.

And remember, fat bottomed girls make the world go round.

Although he is too powerful to be merely just another bard, more like a god of them.

Keith Fucking Moon Full Stop.
Dude was on the way to the airport from a hotel, told the driver to return to the hotel because he forgot something. Went to his room, took the TV, threw it in the swimming pool, said "I nearly forgot" and went back to the goddamn airport.
Blew up toilets on a regular basis at hotels just for the fucking fun of it. About as crazy a drummer as you'll ever find.
>>
>>52458524
I was just about to recommend him. Dude was an absolute maniac, both on and off the stage.

Not a real life musician, technically, but I recently played a sci-fi game where my character was the singer from Carmen Miranda's ghost (not Leslie Fish, but a fictionalized space traveling folk singer)

I must honestly express my gratitude to /tg/ for introducing me to the wonder that is filk. Such a cool idea for a genre, and so many fantastic stories. I think it was a spaceship quirks thread that first introduced it to me.

On topic though, I'd totally base bards off of the singers for Sabaton, Turisas, and Raubtier. In ascending order of brutality, that. They'd sing about awesome battles, epic heroes, and massive slaughter. Songs to give that berserker strength, to rally the men, or maybe even to inspire the party throw caution to the wind and have them ignore their wounds, if only for a moment.

He's Fae - a bit too much to aspire to.

Base it around Kiss, in that your bard dresses like a barbarian

I've seen the meme, but I never actually looked him up until now:
>Hugely prolific, produced 347 albums in the year 2014 alone (though most of it's reworking previous stuff)
>Has 2 (fairly minor) fellonies, used mugshot as an album cover
>member of 5-9 Piru a street gang sub-group of the Bloods
>graduated from the university of Houston, is a real estate broker
>started playing piano aged 5
>was in a "boyz in da hood" style movie
