List your favorite rockstars and musicians and type them as you see fit. Also, feel free to list musicians you don't like, if you have taken the time to figure them out regardless.

We all know that we can't type people who we don't know personally, and it's guess-work, but I want to hear opinions, based on music, lyrics, interviews, biographies, gut instinct, or any other information you have collected. Lists are welcome, long arguments and case studies are welcome. Anything goes. :)

The ones I know best and how I type them personally:

Trent Reznor [Nine Inch Nails]: 5w4-4w5-1w9 Sp/Sx
Marilyn Manson: 4w5-8w7-? So/Sx
Tori Amos: 4w3 Sx
Matthew Bellamy [Muse]: Cp-6w7 So/Sx
Amy Lee [Evanescence]: Cp-6w5-4w3-? Sx
Jeff Martin [Tea Party]: 4w3-8w7-6w5 Sx
Thom Yorke [Radiohead]: Apparently self-types as a 5, but seems 4w5 to me
Sting [The Police]: Self types 3w4 and I agree
John Lennon [Beatles]: 9-5-X OR 5-9-X; I lean heavily toward 9 core
Fiona Apple: 4w5 Sx/Sp
Chopin: 5w4
Mozart: 7w6, at least in the movie
Bjork: 9w1
Robert Plant [Led Zeppelin]: 7w8
Axl Rose [Guns N Roses]: 8w7-4w3-6w7 Sx/So

My best guess on these:

George Harrison - 1w2
Paul McCartney - 3w2
Freddie Mercury - 6w7 or 7w6
Hayley Williams - 3w4
Billie Joe Armstrong - 7w6
Andy Biersack - 8w9

Iggy Pop 7w8 Sx/So.

Wild stage antics that included cutting himself on stage, stage diving (which he invented) and other shennanigans, enormous appetite for drugs and sex, and song titles that include Raw Power, Gimme Danger, Search and Destroy and Death Trip.

Image




Miles Davis 8w7 Sx/So.

Made his mark on music, created an influential legacy, and didn't take shit off anyone. Although in this quote from his autobiography, he's talking about banging alot of women, this could easily be applied to alot of other areas of his life.

For those men it's just a dream, just some kind of fantasy, but I made it a reality in my life.

Image


Elvis Presley 3w2 So/Sx.

Despite all his fame, The King was a very lonely man and the final years of his life show signs of disintegration to 9. In a 1972 interview, when asked if he was satisfied with his image, he replied,

Well, sir, it's very hard to live up to an image.

John Coltrane 5w4 9w1 2w1 Sx/Sp.

Practiced constantly, and was obsessed with exploring new musical ideas, leading to his revolutionary "Coltrane Changes" with Giant Steps. He was also very spiritual, and wanted to bring love and peace to people through his music, one of his greatest masterpieces being, A Love Supreme which was a musical exaltation to God. In spite of all of this, his music is very powerful and intense, even being described as "sheets of sound."

My music is the spiritual expression of what I am — my faith, my knowledge, my being...When you begin to see the possibilities of music, you desire to do something really good for people, to help humanity free itself from its hangups...I want to speak to their souls.

*bump* Axl Rose is a cp6. I'd say 6w7-4w3-8w9, though I'm unsure about that last one. He's either sx/sp or sp/sx. He has a strong as hell sp instinct, but I'd bank on sx/sp.

Slash isn't a 4. I'd say 739 is a safe bet.

I typed Bruce Dickinson in his thread as 8w9-3w2-5w6. I'd guess sx/sp, but he seems to have strong sp, so, and sx.

Bruce Springsteen: 4w3-6w5-1w2 sx/so?

As for John Lennon, why do people always say he's a 9? I always counted him as a typical 8. Sure, he had songs about peace, but he himself was a very confrontational person, no? He was quite the asshat. I had him typed as 8w9.

Ville Valo (HIM) :INFP 4w5-8w7-7w6 Sx/Sp.

Blake Shelton:ESTP 7w8-3w2-8w7 Sp/So.

And numerous other musicians whom I love and admire but don't know their enneatypes.

There are only a couple that I've typed, but I feel confident about them. Nirvana Nevermind came out when I was 11 and Nirvana made a huge impression on me.

Kurt Cobain -- 3
Krist Novoselic -- 9
Dave Grohl -- 3???

I've seen Kurt Cobain typed as other types, such as 4, but they are simply wrong.

Kurt Cobain is a 5 with a strong 4 wing.I believe he's 5w4-8w7-4w5 Sx/Sp.Too manic and dramatic to be a 3.

Trent Reznor:5w4-8w9-4w5 Sp/Sx.
Marilyn Manson:4w5-8w9-7w6 So/Sx (could easily be 1 fixed also)
Axl Rose:Hard to figure out,I believe core CP 6.Doesn't seem core gut centre to me.684 Sx/So.
Thom Yorke:5w4-1w9-3w4 So/Sp.

The rest of typings:I agree/don't know.

Noop. His 4ish side comes from being a 3. The mania and drama and such come from 3 being an energetic type.

Ok.I will try to study him further to determine his core.His 5w4,8w7 and Sx/Sp are quite clear though.

I would be willing to bet that most rockstars are 3s. I understand wanting to give them all different types to capture the distinctness of their personalities and personae. But I'd start with 3 for all of them. The rockstar archetype is 3.

Well, I can see the majority of famous performers and such being image types in general. Seems to make sense they would be drawn to that enough to commit themselves to it.
