Bands with lead singer bassists

[horsepastriesa]

I've been wondering about them for a while. Here's a list of the ones off the top of my head.

• Motorhead (Lemmy)
• The Police (Sting)
• Rush (Geddy Lee)
• Primus/Flying Frog Brigade/Sausage/Oysterhead/a billion bands that are essentially the same (Les Claypool)
• Beatles/Wings (Paul McCartney) (yeah, I consider both him and John as lead singers)

Pink Floyd (Roger Waters) comes to mind as well...

Also KISS with Gene Simmons.

Al Cisneros (Sleep)
John Doe (X) - well, he split singing duties
Phil Lesh (Phil Lesh and Friends) - also, of course, did a bit of singing in the Grateful Dead
Phil Lynott (Thin Lizzy)
Mike Watt (fIREHOSE) - again, he split duties

[seriousbusson]

Damn, how'd I forget Phil?

[Mega-Tallica]

Tom Araya from Slayer as well.

I know of a few more that I can't come up with names on the spot right now.

Peter Steele from Type O Negative, just remembered. And that dude from Blink-182, Mark Hoppus, yeah...

[SheSaidSheSaid]

All-American Rejects (Tyson Ritter)
The Starting Line (Kenny Vasoli)
+44 (Mark Hoppus) and for that matter Blink-182, if you're counting Paul and John as equals in The Beatles

[seriousbusson]

Oh, Glenn Hughes as well.

[SheSaidSheSaid]

Chicago, in the Peter Cetera days.

[SheSaidSheSaid]

also, of course, did a bit of singing in the Grateful Dead

And so too Paul Simonon with The Clash, if that counts.
