Every band has one. An "Andy". Named after Andy Taylor form Duran Duran, the "Andy" of the band is the one band member that nobody cares about. They are never interviewed, pictures of these members rarely decorate walls in teenagers rooms unless they are photoed with the rest of the band. They are an afterthought and barely considered "that one guy". Here's a list of a few "Andys"
Mick Mars of Motley Crue. The only reason this guy is an "Andy" is because he's just so fucking ugly. Seriously. This guy is as ugly as the day is long. And we're talking one of those days in the arctic circle where the sun never sets for like a month.
Izzy Stradlin. The reason poor Izzy gets to be the "Andy" is because he's the most level headed of the early incarnation of Guns'N'Roses. He didn't have Axl's primadonna tendencies, Slash's alcoholism or Steven Adler's serious drug problem. he just wanted to play guitar and maybe smoke cigarettes.
Brad Whitford. of Aerosmith. Did you even know he was in Aerosmith? Would you recognize him if you ran in to him on the street? Didn't think so.
Danny "the monkey" Wood of New Kids On The Block. This one is for Miss Alex. No self respecting preteen of the 80s would say Danny Wood was their fave New Kid. The reason? Guy looks like a straight up orangutan.
Jason Newsted of Metallica. To be fair every member of Metallica is pretty high profile, but the fact is that after Cliff Burton's untimely death, the bass player of Metallica is pretty interchangeable. After he left the band went on and is as big as ever.
Ringo Starr. I like Ringo, but he was the underdog in the Beatles. It's ok though he played an important role in creating some of the most important music of all time.
John Paul Jones. Led Zeppelin. Well, duh.
