Brian May I guess...

I was often told that I looked like Brian May when I was young. But, if so, it was definitely an uncool version.

Anyway, as I said before, I wanted to look like Paul Kossoff. I think it was after he was on Top Of The Pops and I was raving about his playing and my parents said don't you ever grow up to look like him.

For some reason this parker fly advert sticks in my mind as being the coolest thing i'd ever seen when i was 14:

My teen years was the 70's - I first wanted to play guitar after watching TOTP and Slade + T-Rex - You could never say Noddy was cool but Marc was - Later I'd say Alvin Lee Ten Years After was a cool hero with that 335 Ten Years After - Band - Sadly six years ago today Alvin Lee died during a routine heart operation For all of us in TYA a great shock Although at times things

I was a teen pretty recently so mine is a bit more recent but at the time I thought Jack White was the coolest and it hasn't changed.

That would be George Michael for me, I'm not gay but I would've been tempted for him

I forgot about Robert Palmer. Cool as fuck. Showed you could play rock in a suit.

It's funny that some think cool while others (me) think naff AF.

The coolest-looking musicians when I was a teenager were Kurt Cobain, Zack De La Rocha, Public Enemy, Kylie Minogue, NWA, Mike Patton (Angel Dust look), Kim Gordon, Evan Dando and Steve Malkmus.

Didn't he joke afterwards that he wanted to add a caption saying "At least it sounds good..."?

Howdy, Stranger!
