Cool rock n roll photos


Early Pretenders were so flippin cool. I just wish 13 yo me was hip enough to know it at the time, but I wasn't. I was just getting into music and was into Zeppelin, Aerosmith, etc. Basically going from about 1975 and looking backwards. All of these "punk & new wave" bands were "weird" to me. They didn't look like rock stars. I missed out on so much good music when it was new and fresh.....really a shame.
 
“A flower?!”
Yup....one of the many reasons that Genesis with Peter Gabriel out front was a great band and a fantastic live show.

Primarily a violinist, he was Canadian, and although he emerged from a prog backround, his stuff was nominally marketed as new wave. Did a lot of warped covers in addition to his own stuff…

The Nash family had a garage on Queen Street in Toronto until a few years ago. I lived a few blocks from there and you could at any time walk into the shop and see "Nash" working on peoples cars. The property was sold years ago and now has condos in that location.
I saw Nash open for The Who, with J Geils and Heart playing before the Who.

This is a picture thread. So all the posts bitching about no names are way more annoying than the thing they are complaining about.
I'm not hearing "bitching." Most of us who've mentioned it are simply asking for identification of the musicians/bands in pics we find intriguing. As I posted before, it allows us to look up those musicians/bands so we can explore their music, and it might even result in some of us buying their music. If it's a cool pic and you don't know who it is, just say so. I'm not bitching; it's just a friendly request!:)

All kidding aside, I do agree that we should put names to our pictures. Not all of us come from the same musical space and little education to our brethren is never a bad thing. I personally don’t give a rats (….) but, but Im just trying find the positive in it and this is especially helpful to any newbies out there.
