Well its the moment you crazies have all been waiting for, its your opportunity to vote in the "Me and My F**king Axe" competition.
After an avalanche of entries, we've narrowed it down to the craziest, most extreme nut-jobs we could find. Let's face it, these guys just don't give a f*ck!!!
Below are the 6 finalists who are going to battle it out through a public vote in a no-holes-barred, winner-takes-all contest to see who is the official Bad Boys of Running 'Axe-Man of 2008'.
I just want to give you lovely ladies out there a warning before we get started: some of you might get a bit hot and flustered after seeing some of the 'beef' we have on offer for you below. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
Well, here we go, lets see our rock godz! :
Bad Boy Banging Bob
Well here's out first contestant : 'Bad Boy Banging Bob' and as you can see from his photograph, he is completely demented. He's certainly not the type of fellow you'd like to meet on a dark evening, and probably not the kind of fellow you'd like to meet on a nice sunny day either...
As you can see, Bob has actually taken the whole axe theme a tiny bit too far, by actually using an axe with his guitar. Still, I'm sure you'll agree he looks quite a nasty character.
Judging by the setting of the picture, Bob is obviously restricted to playing his 'axe' in his bedroom, and probably poses in front of the mirror with it when his wife isn't looking. We certainly know who wears the trousers in that house...
So if you think Bob is your axe-man 'du jour', then vote for Bob today!
Gordy The Gonad
Our next homicidal axe-man hails from the most northerly reaches of Scotland, where he was exiled following a number of dastardly, hard-rocking deeds during a mis-spent youth.
Although appearing a mild-mannered chap, don't be fooled by his apparent calm demeanour. Shortly after this picture was taken, Gordy was reported to have sunk 10 pints of Guiness, pissed on one of the amplifiers (narrowly avoiding electrocution) and farted the tune : 'Scotland The Brave' all the way home. He finally soiled his under-wear only yards from his front door, and was reportedly forced to do the family laundry the next day.
If Gonad Gordy is your guy, then make sure you vote for him using our easy-to-use (and easy to rig) voting panel on the right of this page.
Mystery Axe Man
This submission is a complete mystery...
I have no idea who this guy is, but to be honest, he looks a bit too professional for my liking. I'm not sure if this guy is jumping in the air, or is maybe falling from the ceiling. But, either way, it's pretty impressive and makes the rest of us look a little bit tame to be honest. On the other hand, I suppose he could be sniffing his armpit to check for unsavoury body odour, which sort of takes some of the mystique and intrigue away from this fella.
My money is on this mystery hard-rocking axe-man to win due to the fact that he actually looks like he know's what he's doing and look pretty dammed cool. How very annoying.
So if this think this mystery axe-man is the coolest dude, then give him your vote. But, don't do anything too hasty, there are a couple of other (in my opinion) more attractive fellows below.
Fun Boy Fonzie
One of the coolest guys you are ever likely to meet on a running podast: 'Fun Boy' Fonzie. A man who personifies the hell- raising, fast living, woolly-hat-wearing Rock 'n Roll lifestyle.
Fonzie demonstrates his laid-back, devil-may-care attitude in this recent picture from his practice studio. This man truly is 'rocking hard', but is obviously still prepared for a short-notice fishing trip, should the need rise.
Podcasting's 'Mr Cool' is also known as 'Mr Trouser Snake' amongst the podcasting community. The Fonz-meister apparently once hid an actual snake in his trousers at college for a prank whilst drunk. He then allegedly terrorised female students, asking if they would like to see his 'Mamba' - what a kidder! He briefly had to attend the emergency room after the snake became distressed and sought solace in the nearest dark orifice it could find.
So if Fonz is your top-dog, woolly-hat-wearing, axe-wielding metal-god, give him your vote.
Slash The Sausage
Well, the picture says it all really....
This rock-star wanna-be truly epitomises the pitiful, middle-aged-crisis, 40-something modern male.
We couldn't even come up with a decent nickname for this guy, he really is such a tool (sausage...tool..gettit??)
I mean, an AC/DC tee-shirt at his age, who is he trying to kid? And the sunglasses...WTF????
Still I suppose in his sad little world he having fun of sorts.
Don't bother to vote for this guy...I don't even know how he made it to the final.
Some Chick
Finally, here is some chick who entered, despite the fact that we said "NO CHICKS" in this competition.
We thought we'd post her up here as an example to others who might try this in the future.
DO NOT VOTE FOR THIS CHICK (she's wearing sandals).
So, there you have it. Some fine specimens of rock and roll anarchy.
Who is your favourite hard-rocking Bad Boy Of Rock. Vote today using the voting panel at the right of this page, and we'll have the results next week!
Rock on!
