Guest fountainhall Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 The Guardian today has a photo feature with school photos of some of pop and rock’s best known artists. Can you put names to the photos - without cheating? Photo 1 Photo 2 Photo 3 Photo 4 Photo 5 Photos: Rock Star Yearbook Photos http://www.guardian....ool-in-pictures Quote
Bob Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 I know #1 and #4 & #5 (won't say the names as it's early in the game) but am not sure of #2 and #3. Somewhat wild guesses for #2 (maybe front man for the "bra-dtuu?") and for #3 (sorta looks like a former "nak-krueng-bin"). The guy in #5, though, clearly would like to use a wrecking ball on you for posting that goofy photo. Quote
KhorTose Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 Guess: 1. Janis Joplin 2. Ricky Nelson??????? 3. Kirk Cobain 4. Joan Baez 5. Jim Morrison Remember, guesses Quote
Bob Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 I was guessing Jim Morrison for #2 ("bra-dtuu" means Door in Thai). You could be right on #3 although my wild guess was John Denver. I think you're dead wrong, though, on #5 and maybe you ought to go out and have a cheesesteak sandwich or something. And I do believe #4 bought her daddy a vinyard. Quote
kokopelli Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 I belive Khortose is correct, #2 is Ricky Nelson; would recognize those lips anwhere. Quote
Guest Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 I've not heard of ANY of the names listed by Khor Tose. However, I did once see a similarly named star called Kurt Cobain playing live for Nirvana......... As for the rest of them, no idea. Quote
Guest fountainhall Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 z909 - you are showing your age. Or perhaps I should say, lack of it! Whereas Bob and KhorTose are of a more mature vintage. Kudos to Bob who got most correct, despite his seemingly pong-like descriptions . The answers are - Photo 1 – Janis Joplin Photo 2 – Jim Morrison Photo 3 – Kurt Cobain Photo 4 – Madonna Photo 5 – Bruce Springsteen Quote
Bob Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 Kudos to Bob who got most correct, despite his seemingly pong-like descriptions Well, there's always Khun Thaiworthy and his enigma machine! The "wrecking ball" comment comes from the name of Springsteen's latest album and Madonna actually did buy her daddy (Mr. Cicilli - if I have the spelling right) a vinyard very close to my home in the midwest USA. I totally missed the Cobain photo but somewhat recognized him once Khun Khortose said the name (but it is hard tfor me to believe that the cute smiling waif in the photo turned out to be "the" Kurt Cobain).

KhorTose Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 Gosh, Madonna was not very good looking as a kid. When did she get the nose job. Quote
