The B List: 10 Least Dangerous Rock Stars
The Guardian’s list of the 10 Most Dangerous Musicians caught our eye when it was published a few weeks back. There have been some crazy motherfuckers that played music, but there are also a slew of rockers who retire to the bus after the show to read Harry Potter and sip on Orange Coolattas. If G.G. Allin, Spade Cooley and Jim Gordon are the among the most dangerous, who would qualify as least dangerous?
We asked our friends at Team HLA and on The Bort to come up with a list of 10 rock stars they wouldn’t run away from in a dark alley:
10. Beck:
Read on for nine more rockers who look meek, but could probably still kick my ass…
9. Page McConnell - Phish:

8. Ben Gibbard - Death Cab For Cutie:
7. Mike Mills - R.E.M.:
6. Rick Allen - Def Leppard:
5. Michael Kang - String Cheese Incident:
1-4. Nickelback:
MORE NICKELBACK BASHING!!
Seriously, it helps get me through the day.
I don’t know I may run away from Beck in a dark alley - he may try and convert you to Scientology and if that doesn’t qualify him as dangerous I don’t know what does. Anyone who people’s that aliens live in volcanoes is kind dangerous in my book.
haha….nickelback. that is great!
you forgot mickey hart/spock
and
al schnier.
i’d share an orange coolatta ben gibbard. maybe not chris walla though. dude looks (and sounds) like he could relaly fuck some shit up.
I seem to recall Beck throwing his shoe at Kurt Loder like 12 years ago. That’s a little dangerous.
You just couldn’t resist that picture of Def’s drummer, could you? It’s like you needed one more guy for this list and you came across that shot. That shot of him with his one arm and his Simple Minds shirt, with that look on his face that seems to say “Hey Scott. Don’t you. Forget about me!”
I don’t know Goff. I read Eric Wards interview with Mickey Hart on Glide a ways back, and the dude talked non stop about how much he works out. Almost like he had something to prove. Either way, I’d avoid messing with a guy who works out as much as him
How many times do you think Ben Gibbard gets confused for Colin Meloy (of The Decemberists)? Who I would probably add to this list as well.
I would definitely include Conor Oberst and any guy in Belle and Sebastian
Nickelback are the new Take That.
