Knowledgeable people of Mumsnet, can you help me out to identify this rock star. A friend has this on their wall with a signed guitar but can’t remember who it is or what band they were in! We have ruled out several inc Steven Tyler. Can anyone assist please?

Dunno but it's not recent as he has no tattoos.

FlamingJuno · 30/12/2018 11:10

Doesn't the signature on the guitar help? Confused

Possibly Chris Cornell?

It's Steve Tyler of Aerosmith

Poops no, it's not, now I've zoomed in Blush

Nothisispatrick · 30/12/2018 11:13

Looks a bit like Steve Tyler

Calvinsmam · 30/12/2018 11:13

Looks like Chris Cornell

BrrrIsland · 30/12/2018 11:13

I thought Chris Cornell too.

MiddleClassProblem · 30/12/2018 11:14

Thought maybe Ian Brown but don’t think his hair ever got that shaggy

Nothisispatrick · 30/12/2018 11:14

Oh your right it’s not

Brazenhussy0 · 30/12/2018 11:15

Another vote here for Chris Cornell of Soundgarden.

LoisWilkerson1 · 30/12/2018 11:16

It's Chris Cornell I think.

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 30/12/2018 11:16

Ian Astbury

LoisWilkerson1 · 30/12/2018 11:16

Odd of your friend not to remember. Did you steal it op?Grin

Panicwiththebisto · 30/12/2018 11:17

Rockstar in a brown tank top?

No it’s Dave from the local pub band gigging at the Red Lion!

sakura06 · 30/12/2018 11:17

I think Chris Cornell too. The only other person that occurred to me was Bobby Gillespie from Primal Scream but he doesn't have curly hair.

sakura06 · 30/12/2018 11:20

I'd hope your friend would remember meeting Chris Cornell though! He was a megastar.

JollyAndBright · 30/12/2018 11:21

I’m fairly certain it’s not Chris Cornell.

He never had a full fringe.

RavenLG · 30/12/2018 11:21

I’m not convinced that’s Chris Cornell, we’re his arms ever that skinny and his hair that shit lol, or bad photo? OP, is there a photo of the signature you could upload?

AdorableMisfit · 30/12/2018 11:22

I'm pretty sure that's not Chris Cornell. Don't know who it is though! Not very helpful, sorry.

LetsSplashMummy · 30/12/2018 11:24

Can we see the autograph as well, for hints?

I think the guitar was won in an auction. I don’t think it’s Chris Cornell as the rings are different and he was better looking. It’s deffo not Steve Tyler although they are remarkably similar. My rock/metal expert friends are at a loss.
Might be local pub band Grin
I wish I’d taken the photo of the guitar now!

Dave Grohl from the Foo Fighters?

JollyAndBright · 30/12/2018 11:31

I’m sure it’s not Chris Cornell.

I’m a huge fan of his, saw he multiple times and met him four times.

Even in his addiction days he was never that skinny, his arms especially were always very toned and defined.
He had a youthful face, I’m sure he had his bad days but that man looks much older that CC ever did.
He always wore his wedding ring, and that man isn’t wearing one.

That’s why I’m sure it isn’t him.

No idea but Google reverse image search suggests it's Malala Yousafzai Hmm
