Attila was a psychedelic metal band. Anyone recognize the musician on the right?

Actually, he bears a striking resemblance to Leopold I.

That young lad with the pretensions to be gladiator/Habsburg Emperor is, in fact, Billy Joel.

Still, the similarity to Leopold is all kinds of scary. :lol:

He's joking, I'd guess B.J. background is going to be blues rock etc. Not some crummy Eurorock outfit.

Nope, he played trippy psichodelic rock in the late 60s.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attila_(rock_band)

QuoteThey released only one album, Attila, in 1970. Attila is often selected by critics and other music journalists as one of the worst rock albums of all time.[1] Joel himself has gone on record as describing the album as "psychedelic bullshit".[1]
QuoteEnd of the sixties, I was in a two-man group. We were heavy metal, we were going to destroy the world with amplification, we had titles like 'Godzilla', 'March of the Huns', 'Brain Invasion'. A lot of people think I just came out of the piano bar... I did a lot of heavy metal for a while. We had about a dozen gigs and nobody could stay in the room when we were playing. It was too loud. We drove people literally out of clubs. 'It was great, but we can't stay in the club'

I wonder if he's ever surprised his fans with a rendition of "Brain Invasion" at a concert.  :D
