Heroes (music related) (+Jackie Chan)

[Jack]

Mine:











Angus Young, Jimmy Page, Slash, Bruce Lee, Jimi Hendrix. Apart from the fact that I play guitar myself, great guitarists can do something that most human beings can't do, they can make you feel any emotion without saying a word.

Angus Young is just full of energy, and I watch him and understand that life is about giving it all you've got.

Jimmy Page is just a beast. His guitar work touches me on a personal level, and that's not very common.

Slash used to play guitar 16 hours a day as a teenager. That kind of dedication is unreal and admirable.

Bruce Lee is just a badass.

Jimi Hendrix is the greatest musician of the 20th century, imo. And in the opinion of many others, so don't go there with me. DONT DO IT, YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.

I KNOW. I FEEL YOUR PAIN. I was sadface.

[Jack]

This isn't music related. Bruce Lee didn't sing or play an instrument, he just bashed faces.

[Kami]

Bruce Lee -That in and of itself is musical in regards to how many faces he rocks.

You guys are lame for thinking this was about a TV show ='(

Eric Clapton, B.B. King, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Joe Strummer, Miles Davis, Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie, The trombone player from Less Than Jake (Buddy) and the trombone player from Reel Big Fish (Dan Regan) are all musicians I admire/have admired at some point. Not so much the last two anymore, haven't really played my horn in a few years. It's hard to find famous trombonists =(

[Jack]

DONT MAKE THIS ABOUT MUSIC. NOBODY WILL POST.

I always viewed the entire concept of Superman as one big insult to the human race. He can take that cape and shove it!

No you can! >=( *Superman 4 lyfe*

No explanations required, obviously.

[Dr. Cringle]

Dr. Doom isn't....he's not....nevermind.

[Ashe]

Hey look, it's Darth Vader!

[Josh]

Dr. Doom isn't....he's not....nevermind.

He's considered a hero in Latveria, he turned the country around and it's thriving because of him.

[Jack]

Nobody said you have to pattern yourself after goody-two-shoes.

Dr. Doom rules his country with an iron fist. *double meaning*

[Milk Bubble]

Wonder Woman


Inara George


Audrey Hepburn

Holy shit Daria. I remember that show.

These aren't my heroes, just a couple of people that I admire... for different reasons.

Oh snap!

Now that someone has said it, I also somewhat admire Hitler. No, I don't hate Jews, I'm not a neo-Nazi-skinhead prick. He was a beast.

If he wasn't a sicko fuck, he might have been the greatest man of the 20th century.

[Lucifer]

Hitler I can't really say is someone I admire, I mean, I admire him to the point that he had a great personal charisma that made him very compelling, but he didn't do an awful lot. Apart from his rhetoric and incoherent writings he was extremely lazy. The achievements of the Nazis are much more attributable to the nature of the Nazi state than to him personally, though I suppose he was the vehicle through which it all took place. The state, I admire.

Napoleon, Alexander and Rameses II I admire because they knew the importance of conquest and self-glorification as a duty of rule. If you are to be a successful ruler you need to ensure that people understand that you ARE their ruler and their perception of you needs to be as more than human. Conquest stops you from stagnating. Napoleon I admire also because of his personal will and magnetism. Everyone who ever met him ended up liking him, even his enemies. After he met with the Tsar of Russia to sign the treaty of Tilsit, despite being life long enemies the Tsar remained an admirer of Napoleon. I'm also a big fan of him militarily, but that's too boring to get into here. I admire anyone that leads a monolithic existence really.

Duke of Wellington I admire not so much as a general because he was pretty boring as a general, but he was our Prime Minister for quite a while, and he was great. Despite the fact it was part of Britain he called Ireland "the enemy's country" and came out with a huge number of other classics, like "You have to build your house of Parliament on a river or else the populace will sit down around you and try to make you do as they say"

Charles Martel is the reason we're not all muslim, so obviously, I admire him.

Elizabeth is another fairly awesome example of force of character, staying free all her life and steering us through a number of crises we shouldn't logically have made it through.

Bismarck is the epitome of the practical politician. He got things done and didn't fuck about. People today seem to have little understanding that their senseless moralities and sentimentalities actually cause more harm than good.

Doctor Doom shows us how the world should be done! Benevolent despotism at its finest!
