1.)Seth Morrison.  do i have to explain this one?

2.)CR Johnson.  mainly cause of how he came back from injury and is an inspiration for me and a friend of mine that is currently paralyzed.

3.)James Dean.  bonafide badass and he lived over 4 decades ago.

4.)Slash.  awesome guitarist.

5.)Mick Jaegar.  the guy is an old fucker and is still one of the biggest rockstars in the world.

i agree, but if it were anyone from pink floyd its def. Richard Wright, that man was fucking genius and he had to leave us wanting for more of his creative playing. rip.

very good point. He is definitely my favorite keyboardist of all time. But Gilmour's ethereal tone is the only non-tit/vag-like thing to ever give me a boner

oh i agree completely, when i went to go see waters in 07 snowy white was lead guitar for the gilmour solos and stuff. no where near gilmours tone and/or style. and hes the closest person i have heard that can play like gilmour. id also have to go with mark knophler as a musical hero, does everything no pick and killer solos.

Not quite, Bill Clinton was a pimp, but John F. Kennedy was the biggest. He would walk up to random girls at parties, ask them to go into another room with him to "have a serious discussion", and then theyd get crazy. He's the original pimp of the oval office, plus he never got in trouble

And Heros:
Anthony Kiedis - if youve read his bio the shit hes been through is crazy and I like RHCP
Gahndi - do i really need to say anything
and i probably have more, i just cant think of them right now

It's not the fact that you view your dad and your brother as heros that makes it gay, it's the fact that you refer to your brother as your bro. Just my opinion.

Les Stroud is the real deal,

Bear Grylls is an idiot, if you spent any time at all outside of civilization you would realize that Bear Grylls makes insane mistakes and takes completely unneccesary risks. I will say that he is INCREDIBLY entertaining though...
