Spin Magazine Presents ‘Frankenstein’s Rock-Star’

Frankensteins_keyringYou know how it gets in the summer. If the rock-stars of the world aren’t up to their waist in filth at some grotty European festival, then they’re sunning themselves on some ultra-secure private tropical island.

And this poses a problem for the music magazines – if nobody is doing anything entertaining, how do we fill our pages? Fortunately, Spin magazine has a solution. They’ve created a kind of Frankenstein’s rock-star from the "25 most incredible body parts" of current rock-stars.

Spin readers were polled on which body parts they’d most like to go into this freakish monstrosity. Topping was the list was Madonna‘s navel – presumably not her navel as it is today, because it’s covered in bandages and horse spit.

Coming a close second was the liver of Keith Richards because, according to Spin editor Mark Spitz, “when Richards finally passes, they’ll line the exterior of the space shuttle with his liver tissue.”

Also included were Michael Stipe‘s skull, Gene Simmons‘ tongue, the pelvis from Elvis, Tina Turner‘s legs, Bruce Springsteen‘s bum, 50 Cent‘s chest and Tommy Lee‘s willy.

It’s worth pointing out that this list was published for the purposes of fun only – it’s not a set of creepy instructions for weird Ed Gein wannabees. Got that?
