yeah the shorts with suspenders and sweatbands adds a certain Freddie Mercury touch to the picture...

I would give my left nut to spend one night with the boys back during the early 80's. Imagine the shit that went on backstage after the show. They have more gaddamn stories than Walt Disney could ever dream of. Great Pic.

What's funny is that any of the stuff they wore back then would be considered clothing for the queer guy.....


......not that there's anything wrong with that......

I don't think any gay guy on earth would be caught dead in that outfit. Except possibly Kevin DuBrow

Ah ! Now I understand what Dave's concern was when he left Van Halen,
what he meant was "Ed, your brother is up to sticking two six packs a day in his clothing, and looks like a total dick"

I was wondering if you were going to bring back the caption contests...that picture of Alex I scanned from one of the old tour books that I have...WACF maybe...the actual picture is like, 2" by 1.5"

I scanned and posted a bunch more back in '01...

Dude, stole the words right from my mouth! :D

Either Freddie, or Mick Jagger in the "Start Me Up" vid. He had a faggity little striped shirt on in that one. (At least I think it was start me up, don't know for sure... Guess I'd better drink another six pack.)

DuBrow.....even though he was playing the clubs around the same time as Halen was in the 1970s, he was always a Roth-wannabe rather than a contemporary.

Regardless of how many records they sold, Quiet Riot post-Randy stunk on ice.

alllllll backstages have big trashcans, Eyes ... it's the only thing you can count on. toilets, usually ... but, if not: trashcan it, man!

and, Ed borrowed that shirt from Al before the 1980 Invasion was even a week on. Dave got the suspenders; Mike ... uhhhhh. i'll stop there.

funny clothes or not, Alex was SOOOO much cooler before his (first) divorce...
