First and foremost, I offer my sincere apologies for spelling 'whose' incorrectly above.
Wildflower: Nice guess, but nope. Here's a hint -- the scale is off. I left the hair bigger than it really is so zee would have a nice, full head of hair. If you were to see the real photo, the hair wouldn't look that big. One other hint -- he's a guitar player.
Clash: I kind of went with a hair-metal theme, hence my neglecting to include Ziggy.
As for F, one final clue before I reveal the answer. He's a drummer for a band with a very distinctive shtick that sets them apart from all other successful hair bands of the '80s.
Okay, seriously, this is it. Someone has to get it with these clues.
1. If you're older than 30, you know the band, but you probably can't name a single person in it. (You'll have to look them up to find the drummer's name.)
2. They were known for throwing something into the audience during shows, but most audience members already had one.
And the mystery is solved! The mystery man behind the F is none other than Robert Sweet, the drummer behind the biggest Christian rock band of all time, Stryper. They brought their ritghteous yellow-and-black attack down on all of the evil bands of the era, like WASP, who we all know were Satan's people.
Stryper actually tried a non-religious album at one point, but when it completely bombed, they went back to God, and I it looks like they're still kicking full force. I noticed on Sweet's MySpace page that he has a big upcoming gig at a Methodist church.
For all the kiddies who didn't get to witness the spectacle that was Stryper, don't miss this.
How do you reach the ringleader of Blogger. This trivia needs to go on the homepage. BTW, I was/semi-am the proud owner of the F. This was too close to my heart to participate. As Enuff Z'Nuff once said, "Rock On!"
If the offer still stands, send Zee the copy of Confederacy. He needs some literature in his life other than the sports page, legal briefs, and "Men's Briefs". -RS
I think I gave too many clues for anyone to get the prize this time around, especially the guitar player who couldn't name Eddie Van Halen's hair. Never fear, I'll offer it up as a prize for something in the future.
Jiveturkey: I not only owned a couple of Stryper albums, but I saw them in concert at the Clarksburg Armory. We had great seats, and when a bible flew near me, I sort of lunged and tried to get it. Another dude got there at the same time and we ended up getting into a big fight, he got the bible, and I got a bloody nose. So I told him to go to hell.
My concert-violence-over-an-object-thrown-from-stage-story involves Van Halen (fronted by Hagar) and a denim jacket. In the end, the security gaurds won.
Whew. Tough. Here goes:
ReplyDeleteA- Johnny Winter. Or Maybe Edgar.
B- Dee Snider of Twisted Sister.
C- Nikki Sixx.
D- Sebastian Bach?
E- I'm gonna go with Brett Michaels of Poison since my other guess (Vince Neil) already has a bandmate represented in here.
F- Axel Rose.
OK, I'm really really 80s-era metal heavy here, but they were called "Hair Bands" for a reason.
Nice job, Zee, you four out of six right, but NOT the prize-winning F.
ReplyDeleteWhich other one was wrong? A? That was a total shot in the dark. I mean, white hair? I'm out of albinos after the Winters.
ReplyDeleteOkay, good point -- I didn't choose a very good photo for A. The color is bad. He's actually got brown hair.
ReplyDeleteOh, and here's the bonus question, since Zee already got four out of six: who's hair is on Zee a few posts down?
ReplyDeleteIs Zee wearing a Robert Plant wig?
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, how can you have a "Name That Do" without a little Ziggy Stardust?
ReplyDeleteI think Zee may be stylin' with David Coverdale's hair from Whitesnake.
A & F are tricky.

A little stumped on F. Is it Sammy Hagar on Zee?
ReplyDeleteNo, not Hagar -- it's a guitar player. A good one.
ReplyDeleteYngwie Malmsteen on me.
ReplyDeleteNope, not Yngwie. Zee's hair came from this guy.
ReplyDeleteAs for F, one final clue before I reveal the answer. He's a drummer for a band with a very distinctive shtick that sets them apart from all other successful hair bands of the '80s.
Eddie? That was Eddie's hair? Damn.
ReplyDeleteIs "F" Eric Snider of Kiss?
ReplyDeleteIt is not.
ReplyDeleteOkay, seriously, this is it. Someone has to get it with these clues.
1. If you're older than 30, you know the band, but you probably can't name a single person in it. (You'll have to look them up to find the drummer's name.)

C'mon. I'm giving it away here.
Spinal Tap's drummer.
ReplyDeleteOh, wait. I forgot they had a bunch of drummers, all of whom have died under very odd circumstances.
Is F the drummer from WASP?
ReplyDelete-RS
Nope. In fact, you could argue he's the opposite of that.
ReplyDeleteOh, and welcome, RS. I read you regularly.
ReplyDeleteSTRYPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDelete-RS
It all makes sense... Throwing Bibles to a crowd that already had them...
ReplyDeleteAnd the mystery is solved! The mystery man behind the F is none other than Robert Sweet, the drummer behind the biggest Christian rock band of all time, Stryper.

ReplyDeleteGood call, RS!
ReplyDeleteI spent far too long on this and now I can rest.

ReplyDeleteEnuff Z'nuff also said "Fly High, Michelle." Anyway, Who was the proud owner of Hair A?
ReplyDeleteAh, forgot to mention that. getto boy and Dalai Mama both got that right, but I guess it was in person.
ReplyDeleteMeet Rocker A.
Axel. My original guess for A. Damn! If only the color was right...I still never would have gotten F.

ReplyDeleteI have a similar story of concert swag violence, but mine involves Blues Traveler and a harmonica. I won!
ReplyDeleteI like the "go to hell part."
Damn, I can't believe I missed this.

ReplyDeleteA fight over a Bible takes the cake, though.
I just made that up, actually. Would have been funny though!
