Do You Recognise Him?

[Metal Head]

Clue 1 - the picture attached is the lead singer of a "super group" that rose to fame in the 70's - who is he?. Sorry no prize as I am still unemployed.

[craigb]

Picture is too small for my old eyes.

[duckman]

Picture is too small for my old eyes.
Same here. Larger picture please, Metal Head.:confused:

[Gumby]

It's the blonde chick from Abba

(The pic is too small, But I'm thinking Lindsay Buckingham)

[sea dragon]

Whoever he is, he looks like he has seen better days. If the young lady in the background is with him, though, he must still have something.

Yes it's called MONEY Sea Dragon;).

Sorry but I cannot make the picture bigger without losing the clarity of the image - that is the way it came. Have you guys heard of glasses:D.
Gumby you should go to the opticians mate, as I stated it is a he = male.

[Gra]

looks a little like Al:D:D:D

[watson]

Is it the lead singer of Sweet???

[Metal Head]

Is it the lead singer of Sweet???

I assume you meant The Sweet?:). Unfortunately the lead singer - Brian Connolly (aged 52) died in 1997. The other co-founder of the group - Michael Tucker (aged 54) died 5 years later:(.

[duckman]

Gary Glitter but with hair?

[Groggy]

Unfortunately the lead singer - Brian Connolly (aged 52) died in 1997. Yeah, ok, but is it him?

[Doughboy]

Perhaps it is a bad photo of Robert Plant?

[duckman]

I fear that Metal Head's definition of "super group" and mine will prove to be poles apart so I'm heading down the wrong track. :confused:

Is he still alive?

Hi Duckman,

I placed super group in "inverted commers" because they are in some people's eyes (critics) a "super group":confused:. Yes he is still alive although by the picture he is only just;):D.

Time for another clue given no one has come near to getting it:-

The band has developed a loyal following and another member of the group who's off-stage antics (which has included a few marriages and a heart attack in his mid 20's) have ensured they have never dropped out of the public eye.

Btw, the picture was taken in the past fortnight.

[Shedhand]

is it John Lydon aka johhny rotten of sex pistols fame?

[Ian Smith]

Robert Plant - Led Zepplin?

[Shedhand]

Robert Plant - Led Zepplin?nope, can't be- plant's hair is still big.

[Metal Head]

is it John Lydon aka johhny rotten of sex pistols fame?

No and it's not Robert Plant either.

[craigb]

That guy from Free who's name escapes me at the mo. Paul Rogers?

Or it could be the lead singer in Spinal Tap. :D

[Metal Head]

That guy from Free who's name escapes me at the mo. Paul Rogers?

Sorry nope.

[Wongo]

Stevie Wonder??

[E. maculata]

Mick Jones? the Clash one, not the foriegner Bloke?:confused:

[Doughboy]

Gordon Sumner

[Gumby]

Stevie Winwood ?

[Doughboy]

David Gates

[Metal Head]

Some nice guesses there but still no success:(.

Well here is clue 3 (and the penultimate one - maybe not :eek: )

As he was 35 years ago with his natural colour hair.

[duckman]

Scratch that. The name I wrote wasn't a lead singer. :(

[Metal Head]

Scratch that. The name I wrote wasn't a lead singer. :(

Sorry I not understand:confused:

[AlexS]

Michael Jackson?

[Doughboy]

Brian May?

[duckman]

Sorry I not understand:confused:
:D I wrote a name, then edited it out of my post because he wasn't a lead singer.;)

[Jarrada]

save the picture to My Pictures in Docs then zoom in.

[duckman]

save the picture to My Pictures in Docs then zoom in.
Did that at the outset. If you try it, you'll see that the image becomes too pixellated and so it doesn't really help.

[Gumby]

Ahha ! It's the dark sheila from Abba :D

[Metal Head]

I didn't realise that ozzie chippies were so bad with modern music:D.

Well here are the last clues - a picture and something us married men say every day;). It was even mention in one of the posts.

Even the village idiot would get it now surely............................

[craigb]

O.K. Jon Andersen from Yes.

[duckman]

Well here are the last clues - a picture and something us married men say every day;).

I've never heard of a band named "Sorry".:D :D

[echnidna]

So give us a clue,

what sorta woodwork does he do?

[Doughboy]

Yes oh well..

If it is YES then it is Jon Anderson and they are not and never were that big over here!!!!

Pete

[Metal Head]

Yes oh well..

If it is YES then it is Jon Anderson and they are not and never were that big over here!!!!

Pete

No one is big over here are they:D. They were big in America & Europe and that is what counts in this World. The Skyhooks, Mundo Rock etc were never big anywhere apart from Australia:p.

Jon had big hits around the world with other artists as well, such as Vangellis.

However, well done to CraigB for putting us out of our misery;).

Btw, the other artist mentioned by I was of course Rick Wakeman.

[Doughboy]

Yip yah ......

[Metal Head]

Rock superstar Jon Anderson was presented with a signed football for his birthday during a gig in Birmingham. The Yes singer was celebrating his 62nd birthday. The Wednesfield postman Phil Reade presented the star with a signed football from his favourite team Accrington Stanley to wish him many happy returns.

[Doughboy]

... and did it make the tabloids over here?

I didn't see it....

Pete

[Bleedin Thumb]

MMmmmm YES, and Hawkwind, Zappa...but then again I cant remember much of the 70's ... one big smokey haze.
I wander if Mr Anderson can still hit those high notes?

[Doughboy]

Metal I am sorry mate I am just winding you up...:rolleyes:

Pete

[craigb]

Yes were pretty big in Oz in the early '70's. Most people I knew had at least one of their records (me included). :p

[Doughboy]

We have the Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe album and it does get played regularly. So while not obscure they are known to some of us.

Pete

[AlexS]

Even the village idiot would get it now surely............................

I'm sorry, can I have just one more clue please?:confused:

[sea dragon]

I
Even the village idiot would get it now surely............................

So, was he the lead singer with The Village People?:cool:
Most village idiots liked them. I did not, although that does not necessarily mean I am not the village idiot. Anyway, I could never have told you the name of one of their members, lead singer or not.
:o
Was "Yes" the group that sang "Yes, we have no bananas"? If so, the time is ripe for a re-release.:D

Come on everyone knows the names of the Village People's members.

[Felder]

Missed this thread......sod. :( I do enjoy a good guessing game....

Can we extend it? I'll make a submission. Be warned though.....it won't be easy.

Ahem....

The picture below is of the lead singer of a band that started in the '70s, but enjoyed their greatest successes in the '80s. They were an Aussie band, who were inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame last night.
The band's name has two words, and if you rearrange some letters, you can get the words "Midnihgt Oil"

Any takers?
