How many do you recognize?
« on: July 01, 2013, 09:00:05 PM »
I got this picture of famous guitar players from a friend of mine and thought it would be fun to share with the BKP family

13. The Edge
14. Chuck Berry

My input:

25 - John Frusciante
28 - Gary Moore (?)
29 - Jerry Garcia
I think I hate being indecisive.

Maybe - it's the green decal on the strat that tells me it is Jerry Garcia though:

I'm struggling mainly because the picture's too small, but I'll go for:

19. Dave Gilmour (agreed with Ian, but not totally sure)
30. ????? (totally stumped by this one)
35. Mike Bloomfield (??? although actually the posture of no. 28 looks more like Bloomfield)

Do you have the correct answers?  :?

I'm definitely going for:

28. Mike Bloomfield

And on a hunch I did a bit of Googling and found a picture which gives me:

30. Ry Cooder

(What a cool guitar!  :o )

20, the Kiss guy would be Ace Frehley (if the LP has 3 pickups) or Tommy Thayer (if it only has two). hard to make out.

thats not a great contribution i know, but i like the quiz :)

Good spot, gwEm.  :D

(Edit:  Whenever I see Peter Green, I'm always struck by what an extreme physical transformation he's undergone.  It's not just the age and weight gain, he simply isn't recognisable as the same person.  It's genuinely weird.  :? )


And yes, I'm sure 20 is Ace Frehley, not Tommy Thayer.

Does that mean we've got the lot?
