Artists doing normal shit

So, I just had this totally random thought inspired by that new trend where people make photos of famous icons—you know, writers, musicians, whatever—looking like they're just doing regular, everyday stuff. Like, caught in the wild!

The idea is we can all drop pictures here of musicians looking way more chill than usual... just being normal humans outside of the spotlight and the big concert stages, maybe with a little caption to set the scene.

Here are a few random ones I stumbled upon:


And to wrap up this intro post:



What do you guys think?

Wine stuff (today and tomorrow)...

Awesome, I totally called it... looks like we're spending the whole week diving deep into Brian Ena nego OT 😁

Anyway, off topic:

Total posers from Metallica...

Steven Newman50, lock this thread. That last thing was supposed to be the intro photo!

Anyway, since everyone's here...

A young Keith Flint hitting the trails for some hiking.



Morrissey hanging out with a cat from the photographer. It was shot for a newspaper, but honestly, it's just a totally normal vibe if you're a cat person like me. Delete this if it's off-topic.

I mean, I feel like a lot of them come off as super fake, but hey, at least they aren't actually playing or singing 🙂

Like, look at Arthur Brown6, he totally nailed the whole concept 😬

Anyway, totally off topic:

Well, if that's how we're playing it, here's the contact info for photographer Robert Davidson:



😁

Feel free to drop their home-recorded stuff right here; it actually fits the whole vibe of this thread perfectly...

I just love how Zappa even had his phone right there when he passed away 😁 (though honestly, jokes on us, since now we all seem to be heading to the afterlife with our smartphones glued to our hands) ☕

But let's keep the NSFW stuff out of this. Not trying to be the fun police, just gotta drop a quick disclaimer right now... ☕

Sandra Clark88, I honestly thought that was a young Michael Girra at first,
but almost nothing in the shot actually matched him.
😲

Haha, there is a little resemblance 😁

Yeah, it’s got a vibe.



Siouxsie Sioux at the beach...



Motörhead hanging out by the pool.

And we shouldn't forget this part either:

Alright, this isn't exactly "normal shit," but I had to share 😁



Neil Young just celebrated his 75th birthday yesterday. Check out this shot of him dressed up as a giant muffin 🙂
(Or maybe he's some creepy character from one of those horror stories Zappa once told 😲)

Haha, honestly though, they’re just quirky in their everyday lives. I haven't actually seen them perform anything serious yet, unless you count that one music video they did about the apocalypse or whatever. Most of the time, they’re just total bubblegum pop.

Happy birthday to Neil Young!

Look, Steven Newman50, I think you totally misread that one. It’s not actually such a terrible song... I guess.
It’s just about one soft, overly mushy muffin.

Steven Newman50 said:Are you talking about the Young track or that Zappa song? 😁

I was thinking about that Zappa song (and Beefheart's too!). 😛

They've got another series of great desert snapshots...

Lisa Davis46 said:but Steven Newman50, I think you totally misread the vibe! It’s not some tragic anthem...
it's just about one soft, overly sensitive little muffin (puffin).

Are we talking about Young or that zappin song? 😁
