Are these the most awkward band photos ever?

I’ll just go right ahead and say “yes.” Dammit people, when you arrange for a PR photoshoot, do better than this. Yes, the classic Manowar poses are here, but so is Max Webster from the cover of High Class and Borrowed Shoes. The whole gallery can be found here.

No idea who this is.
Again, no idea
Nope.
Hey! Max Webster from ’77!
Can’t help you.
Any clues?

  • I need to hear a song from everyone of them! The white and black stockings group was definitely going for Spinal Tap meets Beetlejuice… but then the $ necklace really confuses me.

  • Why wouldn’t you include band names?

    • They weren’t supplied in the original post. I recognized Max Webster, Manowar, and A Flock of Seagulls, but that’s it!

  • That looks like Jimmy Fallon on the left in the last photo!

  • The bottom one is KINGPIN, what eventually became SHOTGUN MESSIAH, from Swden. Jimmy Fallon joked the guy on the left looked like him in a recent Tonight Show episode.
