erm...

Conrad Keeley - proves that you don't have to able to sing in tune.

Chino Moreno - shows it's okay to drunk/stoned out of your mind onstage.

Trent Reznor - HUH!

Maynard James Keenan - Is he onstage? Where the fuck is he?

Serj Tankian - Hit those notes using your eyebrows kids!

Morrissey - The worlds fattest vegetarian.

Mike Patton - Well, genius!
