The guys from Whiskey & Speed – Dayne, Ben, Loki and Mick – love the hairy, upper lip.
Here they list their Top 5 ‘staches to grace the world of rock & roll.
5. Frank Zappa
Some love it, some hare it, but legend has it that the genius that was Frank Zappa was born with this oddly stylish combination of a mo’ and a soul patch… his face buzz is known as ‘The Zappa’ and has its own Facebook page!
4. Frank Beard
ZZ Top drummer and only beardless member of the Texas trio – Frank Beard comes in at number four on list… if for nothing else, his mean, upper-lip hair and a beautiful dose of irony.
3. Freddie Mercury
Undeniably one of the greatest, and most recognisable, frontmen of all time. Along with a cape and a crown, the Queen singer’s signature look was completed by his glorious moustache!
2. Merle Allin
For those who don’t know, Merle is the bassist in controversial US punk band the Murder Junkies and brother of the late, infamous GG Allin. Merle rocks a mo’ dubbed by fans as ‘the Red Devil’ – hiding behind this beastly ‘stache is a dreadlocked beard that reaches the ground. One of a kind.
1. Lemmy
Lemmy is God. Honestly, who else could have topped this list?
Whiskey & Speed play the Hey Ho Let’s Mo fundraiser at the New Globe Theatre on Saturday 15th November.
