If you're reading this, chances are you've daydreamed about being a rock star at some point in your life. God knows Noisecreep has! The path to platinum records and private plans with your band logo on its side isn't an easy one. For every Axl Rose there's a thousand sad saps waiting on the side of the road with their thumbs up trying to hitch a ride on the fast train to rock stardom.
With the help of our friends at Snakkle, Noisecreep has put together a photo gallery featuring some of our favorite rockers back when tour buses and big royalty checks were just a figment of their imaginations.
