7 "Rockstars" That Kanye West Is A Bigger Rockstar Than

7. Dave Grohl

Dave Grohl – rock’s nice guy – has been lauded lately on social media as one of the world’s greatest rock stars, seemingly for breaking his leg. The man who sat on a throne made of guitars and talked at length about his brittle bones is now the stalwart of rawk, having made a career off the back of being one of the greatest drummers of the twentieth century, before foolishly ditching the sticks to go predictably from minor to major key in every damn chorus.

The dynamic front man of one of the worst named bands in history; the toothy dress-up fiend does, to many fans, embody the very spirit of rock, without actually ticking any of the aforementioned boxes. Granted, the Foos have some straight up bangers, but have you ever seen a group of Foo Fighters fans together? It’s a harrowing scene. A seraglio of men and women in their early forties, all in matching t-shirts, shrieking at each other and high fiving vigorously, wallet chains a’ jangling.

Davey gets an honourary mention, simply because Kanye’s headline slot at Glastonbury only seemed to further incense those brokenhearted by the Foos’ absence. A famous person – a ‘star’, if you will – who plays rock music. Not a rock star.
