L-R:
Mr. Richardson - the trendy liberal English teacher,
Flashbastard - the school bully,
Mr. Werther - the dodgy ex-con school caretaker,
Donny - head of the 6th form, popular with the ladies,
Timpkins - currently digging a secret tunnel into the school tuck shop,
Mr. Thompson - jaded Physics teacher who hates kids and wishes that he'd kept playing keyboards in that band instead.

This is the hardest I have ever laughed on ILM.

Some random thoughts:

*Boy, MTV really DID ruin it for all the 'not at all attractive' dudes in bands, huh?

*A lot of these delusional creeps have wives. Imagine having to be "supportive" of Lenny and his friends rehearsing for the next Kartoon gig at Scabby's on Wednesday night.

*Pretty much every woman pictured in this thread gave me a chubbie.

Pretty sure that name should have been plural.

AUTOGRAPHED!!

it's funny even if the autographs weren't there you'd totally know which dude was named "jade"

whoever that black band is they basically look like Funkadelic

Quite a fetching open-front blouse that young lad is wearing.

VegemiteGrrrl, Thursday, 6 January 2011 23:39 (fifteen years ago)

Also I'm in love with the dead-straight glossy hair with bangs look. Like Bruce Dickinson in his first Iron Maiden years. Dudes should be in shampoo commmercials.

This thread just keeps on giving! The Riot Squad pic looks the band LEAST likely to cause rioting of any type. "8 Track tape available on this group!"

what's with the David Crosby like-a-look in Hunger
