Just to tip you off that the photographic archive website www.vintag.es has published a set of 21 photographs, showing very famous rock bands in their first photos. Take a look at :

Boy do they look young ! For instance there are some Beatles ( Quarrymen ? ) appearing in 1957 along with half a pint of Guinness, and some young Stones behind a lovely floral display and a strict-looking ex military man...

You've just GOT to admire the youthfulness...

There's a very funny first photo of the ultra-cool band Radiohead when they were teens. It's funny because they posed in front of posters of IQ (an obscure 1980s prog-rock band), Iron Maiden and Marillion.

They weren't so cool back then.

The Floyd photo has Gilmour in it rather than original guitarist Bob Klose:

I also don't believe the photo of Guns n Roses is the earliest photo of them either, since it says 1988 and they brought their first album out in 1987. There must be an earlier photo of them.

The Metallica one is insane...HOW could they ever have looked that young, especially Lars!?? Also, Dave (who shortly after was kicked out of the band and went on to form Megadeth ) looks off his skull even here!

They all look very young, except Black Sabbath, who at 21 or 22 years old have the demeanour of a bunch of old men who've just discovered the OAPs' special lunch is off.

Yep. And the one with the Pistols too has Vicious in it. There were no photos of the band with Glen Matlock in? We know that's not true.

Ramones and Pistols arent the first, by a margin, or GnR, or Queen or Sabbath for that matter, As for Kiss, not even early.

Good to see Queen there, but that's a picture from 1970. I wished they'd put a picture from 1971 after John Deacon joined, any line up before that is not really Queen.

The Deep Purple one is wrong as well. David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes are in that photo, and they didn't join until 1973!

Quite true. I'd already planned on asking who let that 13-year-old kid join the band.

The members of Jethro Tull probably look younger now than they did when they first formed.
