Fortunate enough to have seen him live a couple of times.
Put Jagger to shame. He could sing and dance much better than Mick, and was considerably more attractive as well. The real deal, no strutting, preening or prissiness.

Of Faith No More, Peeping Tom, Mr. Bungle, Fantoms, etc.

I have seen him jump into a crowd from 30+ feet I have seen him tackle the drum set, I have seen him steal the shoes from people who jumped on stage, put them on an amp, and protect them like.

He can sing and thinks of vocals as an instrument as well.

Others that come to mind:

Tim Quirk, John Kastner (if you like Green Day give him a shot), David Lee Roth, Stephen Jackson (just awesome), Dio, Frank Zappa, Jimmy G (Gestapo), and Brody Dalle....oh and Jack Black!

Always liked Faith No More. Patton is freaking amazing. The man of 1000 voices. Don't know if I've ever heard anyone with better tone control than him. Reeeeaaaaally showed his shit in Mr. Bungle. Although, they were a little too out there for me. Bought the first album just because I was a Patton fan. The creepy calliope music was a bit too much.
