RevDavidLee Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 A guy brought a poster into my friends music store today and they were trying to figure out who the band was in this poster the guy found in his closet. My buddy texted the picture to me and asked me if I recognized anyone and I do not. So I thought I'd post a link up here with the photo he sent me and see if anyone knows who these guys are. Thanks for looking! http://www.rivercityrockets.com/whatband.html
Bender 4 Life Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 jeezzz they look familiar.......def. mid 70s.
darling67 Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Oh, man! I love solving mysteries.... But I can't come up with a name. There's no clear identifying member.... speaking of.... Did every band from the 70's have a slightly nerdy-looking blonde dude with aviator glasses? LOL!!!
RevDavidLee Posted April 18, 2014 Author Posted April 18, 2014 jeezzz they look familiar.......def. mid 70s. I know. It's driving us crazy

cookieman15061 Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Original 4 guitar center employees. Mystery solved!
Jimi Mac Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 My guess is Ram Jam of Black Betty fame... It's just a guess, I'm not really a follower but my memory is telling me they look like some of the guys I've seen of them in old vids & pictures... They had alot of different members in their run... I could be completely wrong...
Jimi Mac Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Ram Jam had a bald bass player. Always? This is the list Wiki shows for members: Past members Bill Bartlett Pete Charles Scott Ramsay Howie Arthur Blauvelt John Sweeney Jimmy Santoro Maxx Mann Dietrich Burbulla Myke Scavone Raffi Dergalstanian Kevin Vincze Alexei Afonin Bulbasaur Past Members Pauline Samatha I was guessing maybe it was a not so popular lineup...
quapman Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 My guess is Ram Jam of Black Betty fame... I think Jimi might have got it. While as a youngster we played Black Betty to death,, I never did really know who they were or what they looked like. I found this pic under "One Hit Wonder" in the dictionary. I can see some resemblance in a couple of these Gomers. Especially the cool glasses dude. And maybe the dude he's rubbin his left shoulder on(in both pics).

I have a photographic memory and I went on pure memory with that guess and didn't even google the pic... But I'm gonna say I think my memory served me correct on this one... I'm also gonna say I love that Black Betty tune! And I always liked what I've heard of their stuff... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bshkNh394uo Couple'a nice Les Pauls there...
jblue212 Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 It looks like there are autographs on it. Brian? Something with a P on the right - maybe Patrick? Google image search unsuccessful.
Jimi Mac Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Gotta say, I thinks it's David Gates and Bread. Wow... Another very likely candidate... So I still could be completely wrong... Amazing how much some of these guys looked alike...
cookieman15061 Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Well bread and ambrosia had more than one hit so that would rule them out.
daveinspain Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Oh, wait.... :blink: Let me get out the facial recognition software and try again....
RevDavidLee Posted April 18, 2014 Author Posted April 18, 2014 Oh, wait.... :blink: Let me get out the facial recognition software and try again.... HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
surfpup Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 It looks like there are autographs on it. Brian? Something with a P on the right - maybe Patrick? That's what I noticed too - and neither of those names were in Ram Jam. I'm stumped.
RowdyMoon Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 Looks so famil........the one guy looks like Gilbert Godfried.........also there is a faint signature on the bottom in the middle...john or gerry cant tell.
darling67 Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 Oh, wait.... :blink: Let me get out the facial recognition software and try again.... LO - frickin' - L...
darling67 Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 This is driving me crazy..... Looks like the guy on the upper-right's signature is "Pete ____???"..... the blonde be-spectacled dude's name is "Brian".... Not much to go on!
