Musicians that don't look like musicians

[Metal Matt]

"Hey, that dude has a face, I bet he plays guitar"...

Jokes aside, I can see where some people are coming from about looks and stuff.

On a side note, Pete Wentz looks like...scratch that... IS someone that needs to be strapped to a rocket and launched into the sun.

A man can dream, right?

 

[TMacATK]

Chick Corea... straight up.

Yikes! Chick Corea is definitely one of the ugliest dudes in music....right up there with Donald "The Mouth" Fagen.

what the hell is a musician supposed to look like? this is dumb.

I don't really know. How about musicians who look totally out of place in their band? I can't think of any at the moment though.

 

[DanielleMuscato]

How about Adam Clayton (U2)?

For some reason, if you take the bass from the picture, geddy looks like he'd be one of those potheads you'd find lurking a local headshop

So basically... he looks like a musician.

 

[Jeff K]

Geddy looks like my ex-brother-in-law, who WAS "...one of those potheads you'd find lurking in a local headshop".

He's around 60 now, and as far as I know, STILL lurking there...

In my old band I was the one who looked wrong.

The drummer and guitar player are brothers who looked likea young Mick Jagger and David Spade.

The keyboard player was apparently the handsome one, because I STILL (fourteen years after our last big gig) have women tell me how hot they thought he was.

And I looked , well...like a math teacher. I was the tallest by an inch or two and biggest by quite a bit even before I got fat. The two brothers combined weighed about what I did, and probably still do. And I started going bald at an unreasonably young age.

 

[Joe Garage]

Tony Banks from Genesis looks like a guy working in an office.

 

[JohnLovesRush]

I'm sorry I think you guys are missing the ultimtate.. musican who doesn't look like one

Not only does he not look like one, he speaks totally unlike one and also even if you were convinced he was a musican he looks nothing like the music he plays

Robert Fripp! he looks like an accountant!

 

[Marcus Johnson]

Jim Hall.

 

[GregC]

Craig Finn of The Hold Steady, for sure. Possibly an accountant or a professor...

 

[McHaven]

Modern Roger Daltry or Pete Townshend. They look like old investment bankers, not rock stars.

 

[GeneralElectric]

I dress in a suit and tie whenever I play, no matter the genre.

I've had people tell me that "You're so metal!" because I have the balls to dress like a Jehovah's Witness, complete with suit jacket and tie, and play thrash metal. They don't realize I'm mocking them.

 

[Lizooki]

Max Weinberg from the E Street Band.

Tiny Tim never, ever, ever, ever, never looked ( or played ) like a musician.
