On a Friday, the band that would eventually become Radiohead, formed in 1985 after meeting at Abingdon School in Oxfordshire, England.

Though the band members went to different universities, they continued to rehearse on weekends and holidays, and post-graduation signed a six-album deal with EMI in 1991.

The members of Live, best known for their 1995 alternative rock hit "Lightning Crashes," first came together for a middle school talent show in York, Pennsylvania.

They tried out the band names First Aid, Club Fungus, Paisley Blues, Action Front, Body Odor Front, and Public Affection before finally recording their 1991 EP Four Songs under the name Live.

Lead singer Ed Kowalczyk left the band in 2009.

Billie Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt were students at Pinole Valley High School in Pinole, California when they formed the band Sweet Children together with John Kiffmeyer in 1987.

Silverchair was formed in 1992 as Innocent Criminals at Newcastle High School in Newcaste, New South Wales, Australia.

They hit their big break just two years later with the single "Tomorrow," when lead singer Daniel Johns was 15.

In 1995, when the Madden brothers Joel and Benji were 16, they started their first band.

It didn't work out, but they recruited other musicians from La Plata High School and Severna Park High School in Maryland to form Good Charlotte, which developed a reputation for its live shows by the late '90s.

Rush's Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee first started playing together in 1968, when they were high school classmates in Ontario, Canada.

Drummer Neil Peart joined the band six years later, finalizing the lineup.

In 2012, however, David left the group, although Niles still performs and records as The Cataracs.

The band's Todd Fink, Clark Baechle, Dapose, and Jacob Thiele were all classmates at Westside High School.

Andrew Farriss and Michael Hutchence were classmates at Davidson High School in Sydney, Australia when they started playing together in 1977.

Tragically, Hutchence committed suicide in 1998, but the band has continued to tour with different singers in the past several years.

Offspring's Dexter Holland and Greg Kriesel met on the cross-country team at their California high school.
