By now, you’ve likely seen yearbook photos of your favourite artists, and man, they can be hilarious. But while it’s fun to see that Trent Reznor cleans up like a cast member of The Social Network or that Rob Zombie was a total nerd, it’s not fair to judge someone by their class photos. Mine? Yikes.
But it’s still fun to look at the early days of your favourite rockstars, and that’s where this gallery comes in. It’s fascinating to see a mostly beardless ZZ Top, or a young, long haired Bruce Springsteen. In the gallery below, we’ve highlighted some of our favourites.
