Band photos where one member refuses to play along

That rules!

I love this one, it's also sort of sad: It was taken somewhere in between 1967 and 1968 before Syd went full crazy and Gilmour became a permanent member of Pink Floyd. You can almost see Syd slowly drifting away into space.

Also extra points for Waters not playing along but in a completely different stance and looking in the opposite way. Future vs past I guess.

Man, that Replacements dress up like it's 1987 pic is sad.

Haha I was coming here to post that myself.

What rock and roll needed, some more cousin it's.

Forgot about this one:

Paul & Linda: "Hey everybody, let's all do goofy faces!"
Denny: "Is my face moving? I'm too stoned to tell."
Jimmy: "I guess I could pull my slightly-annoyed-Jackson-Browne face."
Joe: "After this tour, I am outta here."

lol

I wonder if there's a deeper joke in the Beatles pic besides Lennon showing up with a sprig instead of a spring.

^The dude second from right is just not thrilled

ha, Jon Moss always looked like that in group photos

http://www.theblitzkids.com/files/ccfoundryphotoarchive0e.jpg

otm, moss is culture club's charlie watts in that regard

It's rare for old-ish groups not to look awkard/weird/sad in pics, but that Culture Club one is great. As soref points out, the Jon Moss scowl is eternal, and the others look completely alive.

The New Order one is typical: stiff, lifeless blokes in shades (only Gillian looking awake).

Is that a new-new CC photo? George looks great

I was just about to post that! I've had a huge affection for him since I read his autobiography and it warms me to see him looking so well.

yeah, that CC pic is from last year.

Jon Moss may scowl(ish) in photos, but he mugs like crazy in videos.

Agreed, the middle dude should grow some facial hair.

No, talking about the guy on the right with the earring.

that one looks kind of like it could be "Band photos where the band poses alongside their dad"

In that Grateful Dead cover, maybe that one dude is the workingman?

According to this post, the guy sitting down in the Dead album cover photo is Bill Kreutzmann.

...they were bitching and griping about having to stand out in the street looking like that, getting their picture taken. That's why it came out so well! Billy got so pissed off he just went back and sat in a doorway. We were at a bus stop and he was actually going to get on the next bus!

every single picture of Sumerland seems to conform to this model of "we're all wearing black jeans and band t-shirts except the one guy who isn't (who may or may not be our dad)(he also has keys hanging from his belt)"
