Rock stars...who really don't look like rock stars.

Yeah, Bun E. looks more like a dipsomaniacal writer than a rock drummer!

 

At least he influenced Morrissey and Chris Isaak !

 

None of The Beach Boys look like rock stars except for Dennis Wilson.

 

I don't think anyone will be able to top this one:

 

am i the only person who thinks he looks like william petersen circa manhunter???

 

Apparently not: when I searched for images of "William Petersen Manhunter", a shot of Coyne appeared on the third page!

I see a resemblance. Coyne's scruffier and less 80s, but there's definitely a resemblance...

 

Good stuff - right down to the same orange background!

 

OMG...how did I end up looking like Steve Miller?

 

The Jonas Brothers?

 

"The New Beatles"

 

These guys have always been challenged in the rock star looking department.

 

Not to mention these guys.

 

These Guys look more like 'TV Sitcom Teenage Actors' than Rock Stars:

 

Sorry for the interruption, but is there a thread opposite to this? Rock stars... who really look like rock stars.

I thought Syd was Mr. Cool in this photo...



Ok... back to the geeky pics.

 

What about the Violent Femmes :

 

Pansy Division

 

They tried, though. (Well, except the guy on the left. )

 

Uhhh...this supposed to be about rock stars.

 

they very much look like modern rock stars, "anti-look" style

they certainly look like classy grown-up rockers (at least two of them, Gano included). That said, VINTAGE Femmes could have qualified IMO

 

Joy Division

 

The Beatles ?

 

Can't believe no one's mentioned Mark E. Smith.

 

Mark E Smith IS the ultimate rock star

Respect !

 

He is, but that doesn't mean he looks like one! Although, he *is* providing some stiff competition for Keith Richards in the how-badly-can-you-age department.

 

Holy crap! Those Mark E Smith pictures are truly frightening...zow! Still, gotta love the Fall.

Surprised nobody's mentioned any of these guys yet (third pic down in case someone doesn't know is the Pogues):
