Though we may associate Madonna with bullet bras, Bono with little round shades and, of course, Alice Cooper with dark black eyeliner and a goth demeanor, these now-legndary stars took some time to craft their now-signature looks. Case in point? The old-school photos of these artists — and more — before their heyday.
From a pre-beehive Amy Winehouse to Jimi Hendrix with a little less experience, here are 10 new pics of iconic rockstars before they got their iconic looks.

1. Jimi Hendrix
Image in Public DomainLong before he gained experience rocking out before sold-out crowds, the iconic artist served in the U.S. Army — and looked the part, too. -
2. Iggy Pop
Image in Public DomainThe Stooges’ frontman wasn’t always associated with long blonde hair and a lack of a shirt — just take a look at his surprisingly clean-cut senior photo, snapped in 1965. -
3. Amy Winehouse

4. Madonna
Courtesy of TheLuckystar71 on YouTubeBefore she was defined by bleach-blonde hair and bullet bras, she was a Michigan teen rocking what appears to be a flannel. -
5. Kurt Cobain
Image in Public DomainBefore he served as a grunge icon, Kurt Cobain wore a t-shirt and jeans as he played drums with what appears to be a school band. -
6. Jim Morrison
Image in Public DomainThe Doors legend looked a whole lot different in his younger years … including in this 1963 mugshot. -
7. Dolly Parton
Image in Public DomainDolly Parton didn’t always rock big hair and tight top — just look at the country maven’s short locks in this 1965 billboard. -
8. Alice Cooper
Image in Public DomainThough most best known for being “Godfather of Shock Rock,” per the Saturday Evening Post, the raspy-voiced icon — pictured here with his band in 1973 — once looked a whole lot more normal than his eyeliner-fueled gothic looks. -
