Post the most awkward / weird band photos you can find

When I first saw this picture of Vinnie Vincent Invasion, I thought the one on their knees was a girl..lol....it is actually Vinnie. Not sure why any guy would pose like that, unless their name is Boy George, let alone why the rest of the band would want to be in it with him...

Funny you mention that since even today VV looks like a woman.

There are a bunch here https://awkwardfamilyphotos.com/15-awkward-metal-band-photos/ including one of Stryper that is pretty funny, at least I thought so. They look so serious and what are they looking at?

Yeah, I saw some of them..hahahaha

There are a lot of transgender rumors out there. He has stated in interviews that he doesn't understand it, and that he stopped denying them because it just seemed to make it worse, so now he just ignores them.

This band from the UK made it known that they were true HEAVY metal. They had an exclaimer that stated no performer in this band shall weigh less than 250 pounds.

Hard to believe they went Industrial.

Guitar player for Shotgun Messiah was one wild axe wielder.

I think they were going for the whole "looking up into heaven" vibe.  What is funny is that Robert isn't looking the same place as the rest.  It's almost could be like this:


Photographer:  Look up this way, guys.  Pretend Jesus is standing up there.  Good!

Robert:  Um, guys, there is a spider.  A SPIDER!!!

OZ:  OK, I think I see it--wait, am I supposed to be looking for Jesus or the spider.  I can't remember.

Photographer:  Cut!  That's a wrap.  You girls--sorry....you GUYS have been great!

While a stupid KISS ripoff look and the terrible "I Want A Walmart Girl" song, the rest of this album is actually a solid listen.

Now, suddenly, I want a compilation album of songs about Walmart!

Chris, I think you should write a compilation album of songs about Walmart!

I always thought the guy on the left of Ken looked like Dave Coulier or Jeff Daniels or both

While not bands, this is hilarious!

I actually remember a lot of girls in school with hair like that!

For the record, I have my hair the same as it has always been. Short and parted on the side. It's much thinner now but basically the same since 1985.

80's hair was over the top but I hate the modern look so many women have of doing guys haircuts.

Cool!  Uncle Joey was in Shout!!!  

One of these was not like the others. I wonder what happened to drummer David "Thunder" Armstrong???

Yeah, when I purchased Master Of The Metal when it was brand new I thought that guy was WAY outta place lol! He didn't look like he fit the band at all.

Despite the balding spot, he should have grown the rest of his hair out long for that Ronnie James Dio look.  Boom.  Fixed!



Ummmm....or maybe not.  LOL

While not all hair bands, they definitely qualify as awkward band photos
