Born Steven John Bator but better known by his alias, Stiv Bators. An extremely attractive badass and rock 'n' roll legend. The lead singer of one of the best punk bands in history, the Dead Boys, as well as The Wanderers, Lords of The New Church, and some solo work. He once died on stage during a Lords of The New Church show by hanging himself with a microphone cable and was clinically dead for around a minute - “Once you've actually died on stage…, I mean, how do you top that?”. Unfortunately he died permanently in 1990 after being knocked off his motorbike by some clumsy jerkoff in a car. Stiv Bators is one of the coolest, greatest, and under recognized dudes in rock/punk history, no modern nor future musicians will ever be able to top him.
