Vintage PERSONAL band publicity photos


Recommended Posts

^^^^Excellent image. Hazard Ware's take on that iconic photo is still a hoot, and back in the '90s they marketed a poster of it as well. In a brilliant marketing move, the company got Jim Leavelle (now 97 years old) to sign posters at the Dallas guitar show one year. I've got the poster on my office wall but the t-shirt I own has the "No You Can't Sit In" Vietnam image.

And talk about a witness to history X 2: Leavelle was also in the Navy and was at Pearl Harbor on the USS Whitney when the attack occurred.

1983.  I think this is only publicity shot I was ever in.  Lots of live photos, but just this one studio shot.

Hard to believe "Mr. Telecaster" once played Dean V.  Barb called it my "Kiss guitar".

Pretty cool that you were in a band with Joan Jett.

Circa 1982. This band lasted about 6 months, just long enough to record an album. Never gigged. I'm in the middle with a long ago sold Les Paul Heritage 80.

OK, not really but a lot of my bands have certainly felt like this!

I actually have that pic pinned on my board at work! :lol:

Ok this should count as vintage.

This 8x10 is from a progressive rock band I was in in 1978 called Gardian (I'm on the far right). Lasted till 1980 when cocaine killed it.

And here's a pic from the same vintage with me and my first Hamer a 1978 Sunburst.

I think I know this game.... it's called "spot the keyboard player" right?

No offense, but you appear to be "the guy in the wrong band".  Of course, the band looks like Manowar, Spinal Tap, Hawkwind, and Bruce Dickinson formed a supergroup so that's no insult to you.
