(#1) Dave Grohl
There's almost nothing nerdier than being your high school's freshmen class vice president. You have to make announcements, hang out with teachers and administrators, and pretend to make school rules that won't actually matter. Well, that's exactly what rock star Dave Grohl did when he was a freshman at Bishop Ireton High School in Alexandria, Virginia.(#4) Marilyn Manson
Manson was a nerdy kid and a fan of fantasy when he was young. He wrote in his autobiography, The Long Hard Road Out of Hell, "Most of my education took place after class, when I escaped into a fantasy world immersed in role-playing games." Manson also stated in an interview that he was constantly bullied while growing up.
(#12) Kanye West
- Hip hop
(#8) Eddie Van Halen
While growing up, Eddie Van Halen was not the rocker we later knew him to be. In fact, when he was a child, he studied classical piano and played mostly improvised classical music.(#18) Chris Cornell
In an interview with Radio.com, Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell said that musicians "are mostly nerdy guys that weren't good at sports, or were socially awkward somehow and ended up in a bedroom listening to records and playing an instrument." I don't know if that sums up every musician on this list, but it seems pretty accurate.
