John Rzeznik and Robby Takac old photos: A collection

Today I am sharing with you a series of photos forwarded to me by user Bailey Bishop. Some of them have already been seen on the VH1 documentary, others appear to be shown for the first time.

Thanks a lot Bailey for the amazing content you have provided. Just like in many other cases when it comes to old material, interpretation and deduction have to be utilized in order to interpret what we see. Hence, Bailey provided a short description for some of the pictures to give them some kind of context, and I did the same whenever needed.

Let’s start with the John Rzeznik ones. Below we have four yearbook pictures. The first two are from 1980, the other two from the following year.

Next, we have another 1981 photo titled “Rock Ensemble”. John is the fourth person on the top row.

Lastly, we have an undated photo. I speculate this is a 1997 picture.

Now, on to Robby Takac. For him we have plenty of pictures taken during his teenage years, and a few as a kid. Below is one with his sister, he may have been 3 or 4 years old here.

Then, a couple of more photos still as a kid, unknown dates.

Here is a 1979 one straight from the yearbook. Notice his quote: “I don’t need to fight to prove I’m right“.

Subsequently, we have a picture of him with his parents and another one probably taken around the same time, when I speculate he was about 11 or 12.

Another picture as he grew a bit older, taken in his mid-teens most likely.

On to the next set. These two were probably generated around the time he was 17 or 18 years old. The second one was taken at his high-school graduation ceremony.

Lastly, a 1993 picture of Robby goofing around on what appears to be the balcony of an apartment.

This concludes our photo set. Thanks again Bailey for getting in touch with us to provide this amazing material.
