This is slightly strange, I happen to have attended the same schools as several well know musicians:

Went to the same school/schools as:

Jason Kay - Jamiroquai
Fredie Mercury - Queen
Peak Townsend - The Who
Dave Gilmore - Pink Floyd
Alex Pattersson - The Orb
Ray Davis - The Kinks
Ron Wood - The Rolling Stones

These are the only famous people who I share schools with, but the really strange thing is that none of the schools had particularly good music departments.

Anyone else go to school with overpaid stoners?

[SirCastor]

I went to High School with Brad Fitzpatrick, the guy who started LiveJournal.

[MallyMal]

I went to college with Ludacris, we weren't friends though.

[ghporter]

No rockers that I know of. Dann Florek, who plays Capt. Cragen on Law & Order: SVU went to my high school and my first college. Different years, of course. George Gervin, the retired NBA player (for the Spurs, by the way) also went to Eastern Michigan University, again at a different time from when I did. That's about it.

[analogika]

I went to school with Vivian Chen, known in the Asian world as Kelly Chen.

[imitchellg5]

I went go to school with Haily (sp) Kim last year (she was our short track speed skater at Torino last year), and Nicole Nordeman graduated from my school (fairly famous Christian singer/songwriter).

[starman]

Jimmy Palumbo.

He lived on my block growing up. I still talk to him now and then.

Who is Peak Townsend? Was he in a band with Roger Dalkrey?

Yep. They joined up with Teeth Moon to form the legendary band The Q.

[Ghoser777]

James Iha from Smashing Pumpkins went to my school. (turns out he was a guitarist, not the drummer)

[KeriVit]

All I've got is Adam Sandler and Steve Tyler.

[Chongo]

Alice Cooper attended my high school (Camelback) before transferring to Cortez
David Eick (Exec Producer, Battlestar Galatica/Caprica, Bionic Woman, Xena) was a class mate of my sister at Camelback

[turtle777]

I am the most famous person graduating from my school

In Japan? Heh, that’s quite cool. The ex is a great fan


If we include universities, I’m guessing I’ve been at the same university as about half of Denmark’s celebrities, since there are only five universities in Denmark, and mine (University of Copenhagen) is about as big as all the others put together, I think.

List of alumni from Wikipedia. Only internationally known ones would be Niels Bohr, Tycho Brahe, Søren Kierkegaard, and perhaps a few of the recent politicians.

My ex was her best friend.

[exca1ibur]

Went to high school with and had a few classes with Billy Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt from Green Day.

[His Dudeness]

I grew up with Jason Elam, the kicker for the Broncos. All the way from elementary to high school graduation. We were really good friends, but because of 20 years in the Navy I haven't seen him in a loooong time.

[scottiB]

Mary Lynn Rajskub, Chloe from 24, went to my high school, but 5 years behind me. I knew her sister.

[MacinTommy]

Donna D'errico- playboy, baywatch

Chris Elwood- Punk'd, How High?


I never actually went to school WITH them but they went to my school..

[Oisín]

I just remembered: back in Kalundborg, I was in the same class with Mia Rosing, whose face currently keeps staring down at anyone taking the Copenhagen Metro, from third till ninth grade. How she ever managed to win that Elite Contest thingy and become all the rage and achieve semi-supermodel status, I’ll never know. Definitely not what I’d call a pretty girl (even with all the make-up and Photoshopping applied).

But she always skinny as all hell; I guess that’s the main feature they look for in models nowadays.

Famous Alumni From My Former High School:

Rainn Wilson - Actor (The Office, The Last Mimsey)
Sanjaya Malakar - American Idol Tool

[Mithras]

High School -- Bill Gates, Paul Allen, Adam West (Batman)
College -- James Madison, Woodrow Wilson, Jimmy Stewart

[sknapp351]

I went to the same high school as Jimmy Fallen from SNL, I was on the track team with his younger brother.
SAm

Edit: A little research just proved me wrong on Bob Ross.

[Ghoser777]

Famous Alumni - Where celebrities went to high school.

[Chuckit]

I was home-schooled, but Blink-182 went to the same school as everyone I knew. I was surprised when I saw that local high-school band on MTV.

I feel for you for being in any way associated with that nincompoop (Sanjaya, that is; I don’t know the other one).

Aww, by all accounts from people I know, Sanjaya is a nice guy. He just can't sing very well is all.

And his sister has monstrous tits.

Wouldn't that be more appropriately mentioned in some other way? Like posting a picture of her? Your post was kind of crass.

If you'd like to crack down on my posting style, that's fine, however my statement wasn't exactly atypical.

Actually, I was in the process of hunting for this to solidify my position:

That's quite a list. Kudos!

I made out with Roseanne Cash.

I don't follow American Idol, but I know I was tired of people talking about him.

Rainn Wilson is awesome. I wish I had gone to my high school at the same time as him.

Heh, I thought it was just a creative way of saying "This thread is useless without pics."

On second thought, I'd rather not reveal my location, but 26 people.

I might agree with the word "crass" hadn't been involved.

Also, Even more of awesome

That may be, but from what I’ve seen of him, he seems to me utterly brainless and monstrously annoying, both in manner and voice. I don’t think I’d be able to be in the same room with him for more than a few minutes before attempting to strangle him.

[The Placid Casual]

Went to this school: Eltham College (I know I know, British Private schooling and all that)

From the Dark ages, but well, they were famous...

Eric Liddell - the guy the film "Chariots of Fire' was made about,

and;

Mervyn Peake - who wrote amongst other things 'Gormenghast'

[jckalen]

About all I can claim is Wendy O Williams from the Plasmatics, but she was there long before I was.

The young lady is indeed stacked. Your earlier post seemed out of line with the tone of the rest of the posts in this thread, and it caught me off guard. Sorry if it sounded harsh-not my intent at all.

[ghostdawg]

Same high school...

Jackie Joyner-Kersee - Worlds greatest female athlete
Miles Davis - Jazz Great
Darius Miles - NBA player
Donald McHenry - Former US Ambassador

[paul w]

I was in school for a couple years with Jerry O'Connell, and for a short time his brother Charlie. Not like they or I would care, but that's all I got.

[Atheist]

It appears nobody famous went to my high school... except maybe my uncle... but I'm not sure if he meets the criteria for "famous". He was a professional baseball player with the Yankees. Back in the day with Maris, Mantel, and the rest. His name is Tom Tresh.

[Dakarʒ]

I am the only famous person who came form my high school.

My name is John Tesh.

[IceEnclosure]

This movie is based on events that occurred at my high school:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0242193/

happened the year after I graduated I think.


Also, Diplo went to my elementary/middle school.
