Rock stars then and now...

[walrus]

Great slide show (courtesy of NBC and GuitarSquid) that shows how some rockers have aged better than others. Bruce looks good, but Crosby and Slick not so much!

It goes for awhile, its actually kind of fun!

that was fun to watch. Poor Sinead doesn't even look like the same person!

well yeah, just about everyone looks older 30 years on...

however, one rocker who looks great, and who seems more "intelligent" than he was in his younger years is Ringo Starr. He's articulate and insightful every time I see or read an interview. He also looks better than most of those younger rockers.

I agree - both Paul and Ringo have aged well. I thought Bruce looked pretty good, too.

I saw Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman's "acoustic" show last week (great great show!), and they have aged well. Anderson's voice was just like it was in 1976! Wakeman was pretty funny. After Anderson talked about working in his vegetable garden, Wakeman said "Yes, well, old rockers - they either work in a vegetable garden, or they become vegetables!".

Just goes to show that top quality drugs are beneficial. :lol:

Heck, I dunno. 15-20 years at least. Maybe early years/mid years/now years and post in the 'mugs' thread?

 

[killdeer43]

Excellent idea... I actually gave this a head start without knowing it: viewtopic.php?f=17&t=24240&p=262627&hilit=memory+lane#p262627
