Mick Mars of the Crue is also pretty short. I saw a Marshall promo vid shot recently and it looks like he can barely move, he looked miserable.

Howdy, y'all!
Well, I just found out that Cub Koda was 5ft 6'' to the top of his head and wanted to let y'all know. Hey, let's make this a "short musicians" thread! Reckon I'll start things out by addin' Kirk Hammett(5'7''), Glenn Danzig(5'4''), Marty Friedman(5'6''), Randy Rhoads(5'7''), Sonny Bono(5'6''), Justin Moore(5'6''), George Jones(5'5'') and Eminem(5'7'') to the list.
In case you're wonderin', I'm 5'7''.

No, but why is it every time I see that name in print I think of an old Monkees song.

greggorypeccary · April 10th, 2012, 06:48 PM

Paul Simon & Prince are both around 5'4" if I'm not mistaken.

So am I for that matter.

I loved The Martian Boogie as a kid! A friend of mine had the 45 and we listened to that endlessly.

thunderbyrd · April 10th, 2012, 07:36 PM

at 5'6", i know i'm small, but with my les paul, i enjoy living anyway.

besides, Buck Dharma is shorter than me. i think he's about 3 ft. and i don't own a les paul, at the moment.

Well, ya were pretty close at guessin' their height, only both of 'em are, like, 2 inches shorter than ya thought(they're both 5'2'').
Hot diggety! We're taller than both these guys!

I saw Brownsville Station with Head East back in the mid- 70's at race track in southern Mn.
Many rock idols seem larger then life on screen and in posters and on stage but in reality are quite short. Case in point- Mark Farner from Grand Funk Railroad, a particular teenage hero of mine, I got to meet him and talk to him for a few minutes back in the 80's- really nice guy but I was also shocked at how short he was/is - maybe '5 "6 or '5 "7 at the most. Springsteen is another short guy.

Springsteen, short?! TARNATION! I always thought he was 5'9'' or so.
So, how "short" is he, anyway?
