Who Am I?
09/14/07 | by Mr. Moderator
Feel free to ask me 20 questions, one at a time, before venturing a guess. If you know this already, go right ahead and show us just how smart you are!
The answer may shock you!
Hint: This musician is NOT known for his saxophone playing.
We have a winner! (Scroll down in Comments.)

3. Are you from the US or England?
That's really two questions, but I'll let you slide. US.

Feel free to jump in, when necessary, Sat. This one might be more than even the collective minds of RTH can solve. Let me know when the first clue is appropriate.

this is fascinating (he said, without a touch of irony).
that parenthetical note was written without irony as well.

I should have said "second clue," and I'm pretty sure now is the time:
Hint #2: This picture predates any image you might have formed of this musician by at least 5 years.

We figured that wise-ass.
Is he known for playing an instrument?

6. Is he known for playing an instrument?
The fact that I continually refer to him as a musician should indicate that, but let me stress that he is most definitely known for playing an instrument.
For future comments in this thread, I urge that you refrain from insulting the Moderator. I thought my hint would be suitably helpful this early in the game. I have a much better hint that I will share with you when we're up to at least 10 questions. Carry on!

Some people might consider a singer a musician. My apologies to Fearless Leader.
Guitarist? (not bass)

He's standing in front of a guitar amp and a resting guitar - is that his better-known instrument?

Are you a "one band man" -- i.e., are you known as a member of one particular band, as opposed to a journeyman instrumentalist who's played in many groups?

7. Guitarist? (not bass)
Sammy and meanstom have correctly guessed this musician's primary instrument.
8. Are you a "one band man" -- i.e., are you known as a member of one particular band, as opposed to a journeyman instrumentalist who's played in many groups?
I just checked with the musician pictured and he says, "I am known specifically for my work with one band."

Did me or my band help define my era after I lost that cheesy 70s look?

10. Did me or my band help define my era after I lost that cheesy 70s look?
In a critical sense, especially if by "my" you are referring specifically to "your" era, yes - at least, I would hope, to an extent.
11. Punk rock band?
Yes.

Hint #3: This photo proves beyond doubt that the cuffs don't match the collar.

BINGO! Mwall gets it. I should have held off a little longer to get to that "cuffs/collar" hint. Nice work. Now, you may enjoy this strange story from his own website:
