Strangest person you hero worshipped!

Okay. i just though this would be fun.

When we were younger we always had someone we idolised, hero worshipped right? I thought it would be kinda fun if we posted our strangest heroes!

I'm sorry to say it, when i was younger i idolised pat sharp (i met him on holiday and thought he was god)

Oh boy...not really strange but if you knew me now..well it just doesn't fit.
Madonna.

hehe, taste in music changed a bit perhaps?

Does Cradle of Filth Mean anything...?
Meh, what can I say...it was the 80's?

Does it have to be a real person, or can it be a fictional character?

It can be anyone you want, even a cartoon!

Can be anything, just as long as you feel embaressed about it!

I know I'll catch hell for this one. No pun intended. But just the makeup, costumes, eight inch heels, long tongue, spitting blood and breathing fire was cool.

Gene will always be second best to Ace for me.







Gene and Paul are close though.

ALF, look I was a kid and nobody could crack wise while eating a cat like he could.

Yeah! Space Ace is cool too!! You know his real name is Paul Daniel Frehley. Alot of kids started picking up the guitar after seeing and hearing Ace play.

reply to post by Solarskye


Of course. And Paul's real first name is Stanley, and Gene's real name is Chaim.

And I was one of the people who started playing guitar because of Ace.

reply to post by enjoies05


I started playing guitar too! I wanted to see if I could make it smoke like Ace did. I'm still playing but for some reason I just can't play like the pro's.

But it's OK! I like to jam for my own personal satisfaction.

I thought I'd throw one more heroe up here just for the hell of it. And call me old school if ya want, but I wonder just how far Jim would of went if not for the plane crash. His music style and song writing's we're awesome.

OK, sorry to double post but for some damm reason it's not letting me embed this video so here's the link.

Jim Croce " Bad Leroy Brown "

And let's not forget Maury Muehleisen, the lead guitarist for Jim Croce.
He was a masterful musician. Without him, those beautiful songs wouldn't of sounded as good as they do.

My childhood heroes were Thomas Jefferson, Sun Tzu, and Marie Curie. For a 10 year old kid....well, let's just say I wasn't in the popular or "cool" crowd. *sigh*

I've gotta say, it would either be Glenn Danzig (damn i got to get more points to change my title2 from years ago) or Bryan Erickson from Velvet Acid Christ.

Though Bryan Erickson is a pretty decent guy now... he's pretty much a Bi-polar wreck with rotten teeth and barely making his rent.

Cool premise for a thread

When I was nine I hero worshipped Michael Jackson. That dude strange enough for you folks?

Sledge Hammer. "Trust me, I know what I'm doing."

Bit of trivia.... When I was in 2nd grade, my teacher wanted us all to write a daily journal and turn it in. Well I didn't like the idea about telling the teacher about my personal life, so I wrote about the show Sledge Hammer instead.

The result? I was forced to have bi-weekly meetings with the school counselor.

Need I say more?



lol my childhood hero beats your childhood hero. lol

neener neener neeeeeeenerrrrrr

*sticks tongue out*

Hannibal Lector.

****line added cause the computer told me to and the computer is your friend!!!!! Commie mutant scum****** hehehehhe (gamer humor from the Paranoia RPG game)

This is the first person that came to mind.

His character embodies my approach to the unknown.
He never gives up. He's a fighter. You can take the monsters and take them to be anything you want – the government, big business, corrupt officials. Their hero comes at the end, beaten up but ready to go on fighting another day.
