Top 10 Rockstar Geeks

Top 10 Rockstar Geeks

They rock the stage with their rockin’ music.

It seems these guys don’t leave anything to chance because just in case some people don’t find them badass enough, they decided to rock their brains in books too.

They don’t just headbang to the loud music they play in concerts, they also headbang in libraries.

10. Tom Morello


Band: Rage Against The Machine and later Audioslave

Academic Qualification: Graduated from Harvard University with honors. Degree in social studies.

Being a part of a band like Rage Against The Machine is a quintessential proof of genius. He is also a history teacher.



9. Dean Torrence tie with Jim Morrison


Band: Jan and Dean

Academic Qualification: MFA in Design

Jan and Dean were a rock and roll duo, popular from the late 1950s through the mid 1960s, consisting of William Jan Berry (April 3, 1941 – March 26, 2004) and Dean Ormsby Torrence (born March 10, 1940). They became associated with the vocal “surf music” craze that was later popularised by The Beach Boys.




Band: The Doors

Academic Qualification: IQ of 149. Graduated Film School UCLA

You can’t have it all. Take Jim for example. He is good looking, has a great voice, command presence, a musical genius and an academic effin’ genius. So, he is a crack head. Something simply has got to give.



8. Brad Delson


Band: Linkin Park

Academic Qualification: Entered UCLA in 1995 as a Regent Scholar working toward a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication Studies with a specialization in Business and Administration. Graduated Summa (some says Magna, I don’t think Brad gives a f*&$. Too cool to care.) Cum Laude in UCLA

So, I just said no one can have it all right. So you have to help me out on this one.

  • Brad by all effin’ accounts, is good looking.
  • He co-founded Linkin Park.
  • He is obviously an academic genius that he almost got into a law school.
  • He is a genius in music.
  • He is a kind person.
  • He has a hot wife who is also not doing so bad herself being a legitimate and accomplished scriptwriter.

So… what does he not have? Anyone has a clue?



7. Milo Aukerman tie with Greg Graffin


Band: Descendents

Academic Qualification: Oh, nothing much… just a Ph.D. in Bio effin’ chemistry from the University of Wisconsin.

He prioritizes his career as a researcher actually. His band is often inactive because of that.

Band: Bad Religion

Academic Qualification: Double-majored in anthropology and geology. He then earned a Master’s degree from the same school, then moved on to Cornell University where he got his Ph.D.

This guys should donate his sperm all over the world because we genes like that. He is currently a life sciences professor at the UCLA.



6. Tom Scholz


Band: Boston

Academic Qualification: Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Mechanical Engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

In between his rifts, while he signs autographs and just practicing his awesomeness, he works as a senior product design engineer for Polaroid.
