You might have guessed that Eddie Vedder had a Jeff Spicoli phase in high school, but now there’s solid proof: the Pearl Jam frontman’s junior year photo. As the class of 2009 graduates, check out what your favorite rockers looked like in high school in a gallery of mind-blowing yearbook photos including Madonna, Prince and James Hetfield.
We’ve got Scott Wieland with a ‘do worthy of a John Hughes film, Tommy Lee rocking a teeny-bopper ’stache, an angelic Gwen Stefani, Travis Barker with hippie hair, Anthony Kiedis looking surprisingly like a young Mick Jagger, a pre-beard Jerry Garcia, a crazy-maned Mariah Carey and many more:

I can’t believe how many of these rock stars looked like nerds back in their teenage years, it’s so shocking. But I must say there are some glaring omissions, though. Why you didn’t add Trent Reznor and Amy Lee’s yearbook pictures? They’re floating around on the internet more than any of the other artists’ pictures, and I think many people would have liked to see how much Trent looked like a nerdy Keanu Reeves and discover that Amy is actually a natural blonde. And I’m quite sure you could’ve found one for Slash, considering he went to the same high school as Anthony Kiedis and Flea.

This proves that the popular or good looking students usually don’t get much done after High School

1. Prince: Are you certain you’ve been supplied with the correct photo ? Looks nothing like him. Not even Michael Jackson has had THAT much plastic surgery to change his – oops, never mind ………
2. Janis Joplin and Kurt Cobain: who could’ve guessed from such happy smiles that their lives would be so sad and so short?
3. Jim Morrison: Totally recognized him with no problem at all.
4. Debbie Harry: beautiful smile, she still looks great as far as I’m concerned. Her hairdo in her High School photo looks a lot like the beehive she wore in the original “Hairspray” movie. While filming that movie she must’ve felt deja-vu every time she looked in the mirror.
Thanks for this article !!
