I just recently saw a picture with the band dressed in suits mostly, sorta look like pimps, and or mobsters, but Glenn is pantless. This almost looks like an album cover or maybe an out take of an album cover. Does anyone have any history on this picture?

BB - I don't recall much about this photo other than it was a probably a spoof on an old American TV game show of the same name, which I think aired in the 60's and early 70's. Soda may be able to shed some light about where it originated - I'm guessing the photo appeared in a magazine article or some other publication. It was not used for any of the band's album cover artwork, but based on the band's appearance, it must have been shot somewhere between 1978 - 80. Here is a bigger version ...

It was one of the photos used in the 1979 Rolling Stone cover story.

Thanks FP. I was pretty sure the picture was from a published article, but I couldn't remember which one.

Joe's whole outfit just screams "pimp". Is Tim smoking a cigarette or a joint in the back there? Of course, I love seeing Glenn's legsl
