Umm....I was going to mention DLR as one of the very *best*. In fact, your example shows it. Someone mentioned that the front-men who are just themselves, rather than trying to be cool, tend to come off the best. Well, DLR is definitely just being DLR....and I think in the first go-around w/ VH, he was pretty cool.
One of my favorites was VH at the US Festival, when DLR said something like: "F*** the concert. Let's all just go across the street and have a drink!".

"WE GOT ANY PEOPLE TONIGHT THAT ARE HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGH?!?!?!?! ALRIGHT THEN, LISTEN! Ya KNOW.... every once in a while, we like to get a little...we like to taste a little AL-CO-HAAAAAWL!!!!!!! And I tell you when we get goin, we ain't gonna be drinkin' no Southern Comfort, NO NO! We ain't gonna be drinkin' no TEQEEEEEELA! 'Cause I TELL ya.....when we wanna get goin', there's only one drink that gets us MOOOOOO-VIN!"
"Sometimes there are songs that have beginning's that are kinda as cool as the song, sometimes the lyrics don't count so much, it's the front of the song that really makes it. Here's a song that gets part of it's personality from the... front."
That looks like Paul's pic from the Crazy Nights album. Pretty scary indeed!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! I'm blind!!!!!! How could I ever guess that a simple thread could result in blindness and nightmares!!!!!! Is that a photoshop Glenn? Does that CD actually exist? That is not possible......is it?

Add my vote to Superjoint Ritual and the absolutely awful in-between song banter. I've never in my life heard someone speak with more curse words in a sentence , EVER.

Doom On!
Thank you.
I think Paul has some of the best on stage banter ever!!!!
I saw them on the LOST CITIES tour (somewhere around 96 I think), in Peoria, IL, and he kept saying........
"Peeeeeeorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrria! The rock capital of Illinois!!!"
Me being from the Chicagoland area found it hilarious.
The locals, not so much so....
If you want pathetic on-stage banter, go check out David Lee Roth these days.

Not that I think "are you ready to rock" is cool or anything, but why do you think it's OK for Jorn to ask but not for Roy? I mean what's the difference. Just curious...
Mikael Akerfeldt from Opeth annoyed me when they played Atlanta back in '05. I got tired of his attempted jokes between songs and wish I would've left earlier so I could've caught Rigor Mortis. Phil Anselmo in any of his bands can get a bit redundant. He really gets the most use out of his f bombs, making an adjective, noun, verb, etc. There was also this band Crematorium that played in Augusta a few years back that kept trying to make jokes that fell flat. It didn't help that his band was horrible either. Glenn Benton from Deicide was pretty loaded when I saw them in '03. It was probably for the best though, as he has no personality.

I think Mikael's dry humor is absolutely hilarious.
But, don't listen to me, my username is derived from Ghost of Perdition.
I never knew that Paul Stanley sounded THAT moronic on stage! I could never get into Kiss, and this just gives me more reason to laugh at them.
Being the Dokken fanboy that I am, I'll have to throw in a couple of my favorite Don quotes. I know them very well because he's used them the last four times I've seen him:
At the start of every show:
"Man, there are a lot of people here!"
(he's said this to a 2/3-empty House Of Blues in Chicago)
Before "Breaking The Chains:"
"How many hard-core Dokken fans do we have here tonight? I'm talkin' REAL HARDCORE Dokken fans! This song is for the REAL HARDCORE Dokken fans!"
(there's nothing quite like being a REAL HARDCORE fan and having one of the band's biggest hits played "just for you," because it's not like they've played it at every concert in their career!)
Before "Alone Again:"
"I'll bet a lot of you had sex to this song back in the day, and one day, when I have sex, I'll do it to this song, too."
(I'll admit that I thought this one was funny the first time I heard it. That was eight times ago.)
Stay metal. Never rust.

Seriously, you can't compete with "I'm so progressive, my nipples are progressive!"
