We all know rock stars are supposed to look awesome…
We idolised them and their posters adorned our bedroom walls when we were growing up. They are supposed to have lots of style and charisma, ooze stage presence and demand our attention. We played their music non-stop and we even dressed like our idols.
Today we look at a selection of rather questionable famous and not so famous bands photoshoots from back in the day. I’m not sure I’d want to copy the style of any of these bands for obvious reasons. These bands will get your heads banging but unfortunately in disbelief!
