Can you recognize the brooding young future rock star in the picture above? Here's one hint -- he's the first-ever repeat visitor to our "guess the yearbook photo" feature. Let's see what else can we tell you? He was a school teacher before he crafted an outrageous blueprint for a band that could take over the world without anybody knowing their true identities...

The musician in this photo offers a hint of his future career as a rocker thanks to his long, shaggy (and not to mention, feathered) hair. He grew up to front one of the biggest and most notorious bands of the booze-fueled, glam rock glory days, which were headquartered on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood.

This British singer/drummer in this yearbook photo has been a member of a biblically-named classic rock band and also had a booming career as a solo artist. Think you know who it is?

The English vocalist/guitarist pictured in this "school days" photo went on to become one of glam rock's most enduring legends. It's a fairly young picture of him, so the face might not be instantly recognizable. However, we're happy to provide some clues to help you figure it out...

The guitarist and frontman in this yearbook photo is giving off a similar to smirk to the one he wears today. His hair is also a touch lighter than it is presently. The face should be very familiar to rockers, especially fans of thrash, but if it's not...

This singer, songwriter and guitarist featured in this yearbook photo, born March 30, 1945, has been celebrated for his work as a solo artist and his time in several major rock bands.

The artist pictured in this yearbook photo is a New Jersey-born guitarist, who had a longtime gig slinging an axe alongside one of the godfathers of metal. He has since left that position, but he continues to make a racket in his own project.

Believe it or not, this is our 100th mystery rock star yearbook photo! We've enlisted a true legend to mark this special occasion -- an artist who helped define hard rock and heavy metal through his work in several different famous groups.

This late rocker's photo certainly comes screaming from the big-haired '80s. It's a promo photo, as opposed to an authentic yearbook photo, but we couldn't resist showing you this hairdo.
