Yikes. Is Principal Freddie King about to send a kid out of the classroom for a spanking? Maybe someone disrupted the show and King has to do some serious disciplining. There’s no funny business when it comes to the business of rock.
![Freddie King Freddie King | Getty Images Photo by Michael Putland](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/165756/rid_795b4b83ccdf432c4134076b581414bb/GettyImages-555759841-These-Guitarists-Make-The-Funniest-Faces-While-Rocking-Out-Freddie-King-1024x1088.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Better be on your best behavior when you’re at a Freddie King concert.
Gary Clark Jr.
Gary Clark Jr. may have been ripping it up on stage, but aside from the killer riffs, it looks like he may have ripped something else. When you're stuck mid guitar solo and you realize you may have had an accident, there is not much you more you can do.
![Gary Clark Jr. Gary Clark Jr. | Getty Images Photo by Kevin Winter](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/165756/rid_a2fb2f460d5545edcf328c271c5a1499/GettyImages-521642224-These-Guitarists-Make-The-Funniest-Faces-While-Rocking-Out-Gary-Clark-Jr.-scaled-e1714733867420.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
The crowd would have never forgiven a walk-off in the middle "When My Train Pulls In." At least that open shirt is enough of a distraction.
Chris Martin
Somebody get Chris Martin out of there. It looks like he is seconds away from fainting from pure heat exhaustion. With Cold Play's low energy sound, we can't quite fathom what all the excitement is about anyway.
![Chris Martin Chris Martin | Getty Images Photo by Samir Hussein/Redferns](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/165756/rid_e5e924af9d92960b378c60a6e12f9c04/GettyImages-543169368-These-Guitarists-Make-The-Funniest-Faces-While-Rocking-Out-Chris-Martin-1024x1210.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
And if you're going to be hopping about on stage, ditch those long sleeves.
Billie Joe Armstrong
This Green Day performance took place at the rehearsal for the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards. That year Green Day made their super successful "American Idiot" comeback album. By the looks of it, the very confident Billie Joe Armstrong and his eyeliner are gearing up to receive the seven awards they would win later that evening.
![Billie Joe Armstrong Billie Joe Armstrong | Getty Images Photo by Kevin Winter](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/165756/rid_8c38b5375172be51e4183b4aa38ae803/GettyImages-53473387-These-Guitarists-Make-The-Funniest-Faces-While-Rocking-Out-Billie-Joe-Armstrong-scaled-e1714733907629.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
You don't need to do much in that black and red get up and studded belt à la mid-2000s emo.
Mike Dirnt
We apologize. Billie Joe is not the only Green Day member. He is also certainly not the only member to be so underwhelmed with the performance. With this extreme "yawn" face we're starting to feel like none of them want to be there in the first place.
![Mike Dirnt Mike Dirnt | Alamy Stock Photo](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/165756/rid_754e0dee864f742f0a90db7707545c90/G7AA91-These-Guitarists-Make-The-Funniest-Faces-While-Rocking-Out-Mike-Dirnt-1024x1379.jpg.pro-cmg-scaled-e1714734058742.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
At least these American Idiots went home with the gold. If you grew up in the 2000s, you're going to be happy about that.
Este Haim
It must have been a full moon during this show for the great indie trio, Haim. Or at least that's what basis Este Haim thought as she turned into a full-blooded werewolf during this performance at The Greek Theater.
![Este Haim Este Haim | Getty Images Photo by Emma McIntyre](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/165756/rid_80f8bbe417ba489db08cd226b9f54690/GettyImages-863393566-These-Guitarists-Make-The-Funniest-Faces-While-Rocking-Out-Este-Haim-1024x1536.jpg.pro-cmg-scaled-e1714734097777.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Hopefully, the rest of the band remains unaffected.
Prince
While no one can resist a little "Purple Rain" by Prince (or whatever you want to call him), not many people can stomach an early morning guitar face like that. This was Prince on Good Morning America, waking up to the sound of his own strings.
![Prince Prince | Getty Images Photo by Peter Kramer](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/165756/rid_63aa12e48024ae423c36a50354cd6d91/GettyImages-71218422-These-Guitarists-Make-The-Funniest-Faces-While-Rocking-Out-Prince-scaled-e1714734146605.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Between the pained look on his face and the "millennial pink" suit, there is a lot going on in this image. We think only a big cup of Joe can save this.
Slash
To be honest, Slash just looks like he's in the middle of a fatal coughing fit while desperately trying to not to drop the cigarette from his mouth. We applaud him for the effort. It's not easy shredding up "Child O' Mine" while keeping your lungs intact.
![Slash Slash | Getty Images Photo by Larry Marano](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/165756/rid_57f2fc64ef9e7efb54dfbc87ca1ef104/GettyImages-143014065-These-Guitarists-Make-The-Funniest-Faces-While-Rocking-Out-Slash-scaled-e1714734179115.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
That is the way of the rockstar, we suppose. On the other hand, we very much doubt that Slash's internal organs are still intact.
Jimi Hendrix
While Jimi Hendrix did sing, he sure was a lot more focused on the actual guitar than on the vocals. And honestly, with skill like that, the finger work simply spoke for him. That might explain that shut-mouth groan he's got going on there.
![Jimi Hendrix Jimi Hendrix | Getty Images Photo by Jorgen Angel/Redferns](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/165756/rid_6e74546d14ac883167b2d0ea47894197/GettyImages-90422225-These-Guitarists-Make-The-Funniest-Faces-While-Rocking-Out-Jimi-Hendrix-scaled-e1714734206988.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
While that may look slightly comical, there is nothing funny about what's coming out of those speakers.
Bruce Springsteen
Here we have Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Don't worry, Bruce, you're already there. You can take it down a notch. Everybody at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame already thinks you're great.
![Bruce Springsteen Bruce Springsteen | Getty Images Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/WireImage](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/165756/rid_f850cb420b4b9bc04603e2ff57fa8efd/GettyImages-484073951-These-Guitarists-Make-The-Funniest-Faces-While-Rocking-Out-Bruce-Springsteen-1024x804.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Try to keep some decorum in that swanky black suit. But if you must let it rip, then so be it. We know the ladies won't complain.
Flea
It's likely that the Red Hot Chili Peppers got their name from munching on too many red hot chill peppers. Seems reasonable, right? That's at least according to Flea's desperate looking pout. Should someone pass him a glass of milk to soothe the pain?
![Flea Flea | Getty Images Photo by Nicholas Hunt](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/165756/rid_5309be17a8b4423757b2ca645a9af5d7/GettyImages-848674996-These-Guitarists-Make-The-Funniest-Faces-While-Rocking-Out-Musician-Flea-1024x681.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Or maybe he's trying to mimic this signature bassy booms via his vocal cords. Either way, he's bringing it with that face.
B.B. King
This blues guitar legend didn't even need to glimpse at his beloved Lucille to get it right. We'll take that "I just sucked on a lemon" face as a good thing.
![B.B. King B.B. King | Getty Images Photo by David Fenton](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/165756/rid_b827af4c5ab0559c9d17f9373ff20642/GettyImages-72153974-These-Guitarists-Make-The-Funniest-Faces-While-Rocking-Out-B.B.-King.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
We can hear the howls through the picture.
Richie Sambora
No, that's not Andy Samberg doing a Sgt. Peppers parody. This is Richie Sambora trying to travel back in time to perform with John, Paul, George, and Ringo.
![Richie Sambora Richie Sambora | Getty Images Photo by SGranitz/WireImage](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/165756/rid_e767429d581a6aaac09318134e51e231/GettyImages-105056081-These-Guitarists-Make-The-Funniest-Faces-While-Rocking-Out-Richie-Sambora-scaled-e1714734662981.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
While that mightily impressive face-pulling might not take him anywhere, we are sure the crowd is being transported to another plane.
Carlos Santana
When you've been around as long as the great Carlos Santana, the gigs become less about appearance. I mean, with that wacky shirt and fedora, "coolness" is sort of out the window at this point. Not to worry, he still has the crowd engaged enough. At least that's what his mouth says.
![Carlos Santana Carlos Santana | Getty Images Photo by Larry Marano](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/165756/rid_55d4c8a4be99127d8d20e34e63416662/GettyImages-465582644-These-Guitarists-Make-The-Funniest-Faces-While-Rocking-Out-Carlos-Santana-1-1024x866.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Alternatively, it could be Santana throwing a toddler-like tantrum because everybody stopped paying attention after Rob Thomas left the stage.
Lzzy Hale
Lzzy Hale sure knows how to rile up a crowd, in fact, she may have gotten folks so excited that they started flinging their clothes and underwear at her. This explains the look of horror followed by the swift duck she seems to be doing.
![Lzzy Hale Lzzy Hale | Getty Images Photo by Gary Miller](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/165756/rid_273e48f8de3f5b75abdca6e801bb1453/GettyImages-1158428992-These-Guitarists-Make-The-Funniest-Faces-While-Rocking-Out-Lzzy-Hale-scaled-e1714734701287.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
We blame those Cleopatra eyes and her electrifying flying V.
Stevie Ray Vaughan
Stevie Ray Vaughn was always known for letting everything go on stage. So much so that he decided to dress up as Zorro and have a pretend sword fight with the air.
![Stevie Ray Vaughan Stevie Ray Vaughan | Getty Images Photo by Larry Busacca/WireImage](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/165756/rid_d0991146521886f669f310a868a623cb/GettyImages-103456885-These-Guitarists-Make-The-Funniest-Faces-While-Rocking-Out-Stevie-Ray-Vaughan-e1714734813337.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Still, we envy the lucky few who got to attend that 1989 concert in New York City.
C.C. Deville
Poison's C.C. DeVille looks like he just got electrocuted right on stage and his screaming for help. Of course, everybody in the audience likely confused it for some energetic groaning. Deville had no choice but to go with it, ultimately resulting in one of the wildest rock shows ever.
![C.C. Deville C.C. Deville | Getty Images Photo by Scott Legato](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/165756/rid_526e9f5ba32303a29c359fbc8ca3df9d/GettyImages-148031153-These-Guitarists-Make-The-Funniest-Faces-While-Rocking-Out-C.C.-Deville-scaled-e1714733645628.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
We are glad that that 2012 show in Michigan went down positively, but we sincerely hope Poison's prized axeman is doing okay.
Steve Vai
Steve Vai is known for having beyond human technique. Like the guitar genius he is, it's clearly all in that weirdly awkward two-handed string tapping.
![Steve Vai Steve Vai | Getty Images Photo by Mark Holloway/Redferns](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/165756/rid_e2a036f6554827e4e86d7ed83368c958/GettyImages-179641107-These-Guitarists-Make-The-Funniest-Faces-While-Rocking-Out-Steve-Vai.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
While it must sound brilliant, it looks like he is having some slight technical difficulties.
Eric Clapton
Easy there, Clapton. If we were you, we would be careful with the moves up there. This look could also be known as "oh no I left the gas on."
![Eric Clapton Eric Clapton | Alamy Stock Photo](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/165756/rid_6534f918408756f9e18dc3e376ec24b4/G68RP9-eric-clapton-These-Guitarists-Make-The-Funniest-Faces-While-Rocking-Out-scaled-e1714734873233.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
And someone, please, for heaven's sake unbutton that shirt. This is a rock show, not church!
Keith Urban
Keith Urban looks like he's trying his very best in weathered jeans at the 2004 New rock City Show. Somehow, with all that rocking out, his perfectly streaked "Rachel do" is still safely intact.
![Keith Urban Keith Urban | Getty Images Photo by Jamie McCarthy/WireImage for New York Post](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/165756/rid_0d308fee24a5e544ab2c75d5828988af/GettyImages-108135223-Keith-Urban-These-Guitarists-Make-The-Funniest-Faces-While-Rocking-Out-scaled.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Below the neck, he's all rock 'n roll. That head, however, tells a different story.
Gary Moore
Musician Gary Moore looks like he's trying out for a spot in a gurning competition rather than playing guitar. Either that or the poor guy stubbed his toe on a guitar pedal.
![Gary Moore Gary Moore | Getty Images Photo by Jo Hale](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/165756/rid_59e55ea58c3b54420ba0c7edce59fc55/GettyImages-51357371-These-Guitarists-Make-The-Funniest-Faces-While-Rocking-Out-Gary-Moore.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
And seriously! What is it with aging guitarists and button-down shirts? You still got it. At least most of you do.
Buddy Guy
In a look that could only be described as "can, you smell the funk?" Buddy Guy brings everything he's got and then some. That electric satin shirt is the perfect amount of swagger.
![Buddy Guy Buddy Guy | Getty Images Photo by Larry Marano](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/165756/rid_2de2a67fc4edc90865ee1ef4a2f2b7b4/GettyImages-156256602-These-Guitarists-Make-The-Funniest-Faces-While-Rocking-Out-Buddy-Guy-scaled.jpg.pro-cmg-e1714734917740.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
If that were to be Buddy Guy's last show, we would sure he would want to be frozen at that very moment.
Angus Young
Angus Young may have gotten some direct current right there straight to the brain. That hair looks like it came from the result of a shock wave straight through the fingers. Which, to be fair is really what their music sounds like.
![Angus Young Angus Young | Getty Images Photo by Gie Knaeps](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/165756/rid_b327b73b000e872f93d27d84815ef166/GettyImages-688519978-These-Guitarists-Make-The-Funniest-Faces-While-Rocking-Out-Angus-Young-scaled-e1714734957367.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Clearly didn't really stop him and the "schoolboy" rockers from thrashing it out
Rob Trujillo
Rob Trujillo looks like a guitar-wielding bigfoot about to attack us all with a killer riff. This Madison Square Garden Metallica really bought the beast out of him.
![Rob Trujillo Rob Trujillo | Getty Images Photo by Cory Schwartz](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/165756/rid_763a56034e30386c2a145416a270ee32/GettyImages-93072301-These-Guitarists-Make-The-Funniest-Faces-While-Rocking-Out-Rob-Trujillo.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Though, Metallica is a pretty beastly band.
Lenny Kravitz
Is Lenny Kravitz being swallowed by his own dreadlocks or his he literally drowning in his own guitar solo? Nothing is really clear.
![Lenny Kravitz Lenny Kravitz | Getty Images Photo by Simon Ritter/Redferns](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/165756/rid_0dd5fcdf3a4b1de6e281ec9e173bef75/GettyImages-86138499-These-Guitarists-Make-The-Funniest-Faces-While-Rocking-Out-Lenny-Kravitz-scaled-e1714734992480.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
That is one low v-neck tee. Next time, just go without the tee.
Taylor Goldsmith of Dawes
Taylor Goldsmith from the band Dawes actually succeeds in making folk-rock look kind of wild. With that pained look and the messy hair, one would not think this is a Dawes song.
![Taylor Goldsmith of Dawes Taylor Goldsmith of Dawes | Getty Images Photo by Tim Mosenfelder](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/165756/rid_1e48c303c5811f8448770b7c32a7a37b/GettyImages-144769780-These-Guitarists-Make-The-Funniest-Faces-While-Rocking-Out-Taylor-Goldsmith-of-Dawes-scaled-e1714735023222.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
At least he has that indie-boy plaid shirt to keep the balance. Nice touch.
Jordan Cook
Jordan Cook of Reignwolf bares his 'fangs' at the crowd just to remind us all that he is, in fact, in a rock band and it has the word "wolf" in it. Looking fierce, Jordan.
![Jordan Cook Jordan Cook | Getty Images Photo by Scott Legato](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/165756/rid_334043b8ec1581bd2e07cbe0e21f1911/GettyImages-491560615-These-Guitarists-Make-The-Funniest-Faces-While-Rocking-Out-Jordan-Cook.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
And just in case it wasn't clear, his leather jacket confirms, that he is a rockstar indeed.
Chris Broderick
Megadeath’s Chris Broderick summons the gods of metal in this performance at St. Paul, Minn.’s Myth Nightclub. Seems like he is really spiritually connected.
![Chris Broderick Chris Broderick | Getty Images Photo by Ben Garvin](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/165756/rid_2f284cb67f7dc712c4dc041d817f7261/GettyImages-451721085-These-Guitarists-Make-The-Funniest-Faces-While-Rocking-Out-Chris-Broderick-performs-with-Megadeth.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
We can be certain that the crowd left that concert feeling like that they had witnessed the Lord himself.
John Mayer
It's hard to pick out the weirdest thing in this picture. Is it that face or is it that chain that strangely resembles something between a tribal Masai necklace and your grandmother's pearls?
![John Mayer John Mayer | Getty Images Photo by Didier Messens/Redferns](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/165756/rid_53cb0b445eb04870dae5022c6577e527/GettyImages-450752860-These-Guitarists-Make-The-Funniest-Faces-While-Rocking-Out-John-Mayer.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
It's the face. It really is a wonderland, John Mayer.
Jack Black
This is a stick up according to Tenacious D's Jack Black. When the hilarious rocker wants everyone to mosh, they do it. Gunning to the crowd with that mighty finger, Black is in the zone.
![Jack Black Jack Black | Getty Images Photo by Kevin Nixon/Classic Rock Magazine](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/165756/rid_b99ef5fb740cdddf64a08acbdf6f55ba/GettyImages-160328914-These-Guitarists-Make-The-Funniest-Faces-While-Rocking-Out-Jack-Black-1024x979.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
The Master Exploder cannot be stopped.
Bruno Mars
Bruno Mars can't quite believe his luck as he performs on stage like he's a real rockstar. He looks like a kid at his school talent show.
![Bruno Mars Bruno Mars | Alamy Stock Photo](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/165756/rid_a0f86fe6b7c621022a311f121d4034af/2HBGC41-These-Guitarists-Make-The-Funniest-Faces-While-Rocking-Out-Bruno-Mars-1024x1256.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
As long as he doesn't sound like one then we can forgive him
Ed Sheeran
Someone please, for heaven's sake get Ed Sheeran out of his own show. He looks like he's been left at the mall and he needs his mommy. Is it the scruffy ginger hair or is it the desperate wailing?
![Ed Sheeran Ed Sheeran | Getty Images Photo by Dave Kotinsky](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/165756/rid_918c7ded545876cb7f38519e4f29798f/GettyImages-160409997-These-Guitarists-Make-The-Funniest-Faces-While-Rocking-Out-Ed-Sheeran.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Perhaps he is singing forlornly about another long lost love.
Kesha
After listening to Tik Tok we were not aware that Kesha actually played guitar. Perhaps neither did she which could explain the look on her face that says "how did this get here?"
![Kesha Kesha | Getty Images Photo by Christopher Polk](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/165756/rid_5c32552aaa59591716fb0123c19a03a7/GettyImages-157496105-These-Guitarists-Make-The-Funniest-Faces-While-Rocking-Out-Kesha.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Jokes aside she looks as if she's over the pop music and rocking it out like a pro.
Taylor Swift
Speaking of pop, Taylor Swift, the sun queen herself lights up the stage with those golden locks and glittery guitar. It's sparkle overload and she's about to burst.
![Taylor Swift Taylor Swift | Getty Images Photo by Jason Kempin](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/165756/rid_72d9c08dbbba1abef7fe89a75bb25c1d/GettyImages-90123074-These-Guitarists-Make-The-Funniest-Faces-While-Rocking-Out-Taylor-Swift-scaled-e1714735054354.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Take that, boys. Taylor is on fire and her spark will not be snuffed!
Carrie Brownstein
Riot Girl royal Carrie Brownstein graces us with her presence at what looks like the 100th gig of that week. You can't fool us with a little leg raise. Your face silently screams "I do not want to be here."
![Carrie Brownstein Carrie Brownstein | Alamy Stock Photo](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/165756/rid_7a15addcc5aa532852dbb49432e158ce/C99533-Carrie-Brownstein-of-Wild-Flag-performs-on-stage-at-the-Doug-Fir-Lounge-in-Portland-Oregon-USA-on-September-11-2011-1024x681.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Unfortunately, we all very much do want you to be here.
John Mayer, Again
John Mayer is back with an even more ridiculous face. It's odd how his soft lover boy songs come out of a mug like that. Smooth you are not, sir.
![John Mayer, Again John Mayer, Again | Getty Images Photo by SUZANNE CORDEIRO/AFP](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/165756/rid_103d4938f59fc079f2d1263ede34b6a8/GettyImages-1166700494-John-Mayer-performs-onstage-during-his-World-Tour-2019-These-Guitarists-Make-The-Funniest-Faces-While-Rocking-Out-scaled.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Perhaps it's just in your lyrics. Let's stick to radio John Mayer instead.
Freddie King
Yikes. Is Principal Freddie King about to send a kid out of the classroom for a spanking? Maybe someone disrupted the show and King has to do some serious disciplining. There's no funny business when it comes to the business of rock.
![Freddie King Freddie King | Getty Images Photo by Michael Putland](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/165756/rid_795b4b83ccdf432c4134076b581414bb/GettyImages-555759841-These-Guitarists-Make-The-Funniest-Faces-While-Rocking-Out-Freddie-King-1024x1088.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Better be on your best behavior when you're at a Freddie King concert.
Jimmy Page
Shoot for the stars! That's what little Jimmy's parents must have said to him. And that's exactly what he did. It's no surprise that he grew up to be one of the greatest guitarists who ever lived.
![Jimmy Page Jimmy Page | Getty Images Photo by Ron Galella, Ltd./Wireimage](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/165756/rid_86b0b7ad292a7893ed49cc8c374d4571/GettyImages-97438693-These-Guitarists-Make-The-Funniest-Faces-While-Rocking-Out-Musician-Jimmy-Page-1024x857.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
He's not even doing it with a regular guitar!
Paul McCartney and Neil Young
These two old pros look they're having a little sing-off. Step aside Paul, Neil wants that mic so bad he might bite it right off, along with your head! This is what happens when you dust off old rockstars and let 'em back on stage. They get a little hungry.
![Paul McCartney and Neil Young Paul McCartney and Neil Young | Getty Images Photo by Kevin Winter](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/165756/rid_b91a44c5496f5c1778e6d92babf9af2b/GettyImages-613488478-These-Guitarists-Make-The-Funniest-Faces-While-Rocking-Out-Paul-McCartney-and-Neil-Young.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
At least Paul seems to know his place.
Keith Richards
Leather face Richards, erm, we mean Keith is back with a vengeance and he has his eyes on the prize. Or he is trying to remember the chords? It may have been a while since his last show.
![Keith Richards Keith Richards | Alamy Stock Photo](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/165756/rid_90655b0a026e0af138d1a1fd741b62cf/CEFYDX-Keith-Richards-performs-with-the-Rolling-Stones-at-TD-Garden-in-Boston-1024x748.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
We are sure that he did just fine in the end though.
Thurston Moore
Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth tests out his sonic sound waves by doing his very best whale impression. The indie/grunge/noise/post-punk king of the 90s is known for making strange sounds.

We just love those sonic youths. Though these days they're not so youthful. How time flies.
Robbie Krieger
That human skeleton with thinning hair is not the prettiest sight. That evil look on his face is not particularly helping the situation either. Is he plotting the world's demise mid-solo?

Krieger is definitely suited more to the audio experience than the visual one.
John Frusciante
Frusciante might need a little helping hand there. Too bad he'll never get it. Between Keidis, Flea and Smith, those guys have a lot going on and if we remember correctly, Flea has his own set of problems.

That's the Peppers for ya.
T-Bone Walker
It's hard to take T-Bone Walker seriously when he looks like he's drifting into a catatonic state. With his mesmerizing guitar skills, its no surprise that he ended up in a self-induced state of hypnosis.

These guitar legends need to watch out for themselves.
Terry Kath
T-Bone may have hypnotized himself but Terry Kath here appears to have played himself to sleep. Chicago's soft jazzy rock sounds can do that to you. We just didn't know it could do that to the actual band members.

Chicago should not be played when behind the wheel. This looks potentially hazardous.
Robert Fripp
Is Robert Fripp trying to sell us insurance? This strictly-business stance makes for an interesting rock show. Fluff up that hair a little, Fripp, and lose that blazer. This isn't the bank!

This man takes his guitar extremely seriously. While he may be brilliant, showmanship just isn't his thing.
George Harrison
Speaking of formal rockstars, George Harrison stands here politely strumming along like he's in a high-school prom band. The Beatles were always a little stiff in their earlier days.

We are pleased that they loosened up a little over the years and gave us some of the best music in history.
Joe Walsh
Creepy Joe Walsh looks as if he's a medieval gatekeeper in a Disney film about a wicked witch. All that's missing is a raggedy brown cloak and an oil lamp. That face is not exactly a crowd-pleaser.

At least his music is! As the guitarist for The Eagles, he's definitely done something right.
Eddie Van Halen
That time Eddie Van Halen was granted access into heaven over his masterful rocking out. As we can see, he is about to ascend right into that beam of light.

Either that or the aliens are taking him back home. That's what happens when you're just too good.
Chuck Berry
Hey Chuck. Is this a rock show or are you trying to carefully vacate the premises? Looks like you're moments away from placing that guitar down and politely walking away.
![Chuck Berry Chuck Berry | Getty Images Photo by Michael Ochs Archives](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/165756/rid_33d82acf032a486069880a7ca0fd2bf5/GettyImages-74254300-These-Guitarists-Make-The-Funniest-Faces-While-Rocking-Out-Chuck-Berry.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
We don't blame him. Chuck Berry's music has been known to cause severe neck and leg injuries.
