Picture Quiz

Two of my most commented posts were quizzes: Spot The Track: Lyrics Quiz and You hum it... I'll play it so I decided I it was well past time for another one. I'd been trying to think of a quiz that couldn't be solved just by searching Google when Mosh directed me to Rik Aitch's picture quiz. So, if imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... Mr Aitch should be well flattered.

Below are ten photographs of artists that I have seen in concert at one time or another. Some pictures are from roughly the era when I saw them and others are more up-to-date photographs. Just identify the artist. Simples! A special photographic no-prize is available for the person who gets the most.

{Update: People have started to get the right answers so I'll start to add picture attributions and answers under the pictures that have been guessed. So that people coming late to the party can still play, I'll put he answers in white text - if you want too see the answer, drag across the white gap and the highlighted answer should be visible. Of course, if you are looking at this in a feed reader rather than the blog, that trick probably wont work!}

{Update 2: Looks like you need some clues for the last few...}

{Update 3: The clues seem to have helped and all ten have now been guessed. Would you like another quiz sometime soon?}

1) Good jumper! Very rock n' roll. Hint: Founder member of the archetypal space rock group.

Picture by Watt_Dabney. The artist is Dave Brock. Guessed by Amanda Wilson.

2) One of the few photos taken from a live gig in Glasgow.
Picture by cx1uk (aka nwinton). The artist is Alex Lifeson. Guessed by gordonmckinlay. (Well, technically, nwinton knew the answer since he took the picture and gave the guitarit's birth name as the answer.)

3) He's a bass player (in case you need a hint on this one). Hint: Co-writer of a string of hits for his glam rock band - they were the first act to have three singles enter at the top of the UK singles charts.
Picture by Curbofotos. The artist is Jim Lea. Guessed by Amanda Wilson.


4) I remember his hair as being even longer
Picture by Watt_Dabney. The artist is Scott Gorham. Guessed by nwinton.


5) I'm impressed this chap still has so much hair! Hint: German connection - it is widely considered that this chap's band was at its best when a certain (mad?) German guitarists was with them.
Picture by hharryus. The artist is Phil Mogg. Guessed by Jeff.


6) How many keyboards can one person sensibly use? Hint: German connection - kraut rock but more Kraftwork than Rammstein. :-)

7) I've seen him solo but never saw him with the band.
Picture by Affendaddy. The artist is Peter Gabriel. Guessed by nwinton.


8) I watched him destroy a guitar very much like the one in this picture.Picture by Helge Øverås. The artist is Ritchie Blackmore. Guessed by nwinton.


9) I saw him about 15 years before this picture was taken but as far as I remember, he looked exactly the same then as he does here.
