While Jimi Hendrix did sing, he sure was a lot more focused on the actual guitar than on the vocals. And honestly, with skill like that, the finger work simply spoke for him. That might explain that shut-mouth groan he’s got going on there.
While that may look slightly comical, there is nothing funny about what’s coming out of those speakers.
Prince
While no one can resist a little "Purple Rain" by Prince (or whatever you want to call him), not many people can stomach an early morning guitar face like that. This was Prince on Good Morning America, waking up to the sound of his own strings.
Between the pained look on his face and the "millennial pink" suit, there is a lot going on in this image. We think only a big cup of Joe can save this.
Slash
To be honest, Slash just looks like he's in the middle of a fatal coughing fit while desperately trying to not to drop the cigarette from his mouth. We applaud him for the effort. It's not easy shredding up "Child O' Mine" while keeping your lungs intact.
That is the way of the rockstar, we suppose. On the other hand, we very much doubt that Slash's internal organs are still intact.
Bruce Springsteen
Here we have Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Don't worry, Bruce, you're already there. You can take it down a notch. Everybody at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame already thinks you're great.
Try to keep some decorum in that swanky black suit. But if you must let it rip, then so be it. We know the ladies won't complain.
Flea
It's likely that the Red Hot Chili Peppers got their name from munching on too many red hot chill peppers. Seems reasonable, right? That's at least according to Flea's desperate looking pout. Should someone pass him a glass of milk to soothe the pain?
Or maybe he's trying to mimic this signature bassy booms via his vocal cords. Either way, he's bringing it with that face.
