Need help - awful band photos website

[kesslari]

A while back there was a thread here on awful band photos, pointing to a website with hundreds of examples. I can't find the thread or that website. Maybe I dreamed it...

Anyone remember what it was?

If you google the words "awkward band photos", you'll find a plethora of websites, FB pages, and blogs focusing on the cringe. Then there are the sites concerning heinous album covers/artwork.

I seem to remember that. They had a whole section covering bands who had photos taken on railroad tracks (lots and lots of them).

Twelve (and possibly 13) people were OK with those images. Chew on that.

There's a lot to unpack here but… the dudes in the matching red jumpsuits? The one guy with the handlebars looks a lot like James Hetfield back in the And Justice/black album days.

Therein lies the rub. So to speak.

Not the website, but it does not get any more awful than this.

I got you fam. You're looking for Rock & Roll Confidential's Hall of Douchebags.

Sadly, the original site is long gone, but archived here:
Rock And Roll Confidential | Your Band Sucks

This one's pretty good too: Invalid Link Removed

Rock and Roll Confidential was THE BEST. That hall of Douchbags is such an amazing snapshot of the time.

The sad thing is that's a successful band -- the Scorpions.

 

[kevrex]

i believe the site was called rocknrollconfidential.com. train tracks and brick walls were prominently featured. been gone quite a while -- i can't even find samples on the wayback machine.

Just going to leave this gem here, pretty sure it was from the thread you were talking about as well.
