every time you smoke a cigarette it steals an hour off your lifespan and gives it to keith richards

Chet Baker.

Sure, he’s in his 80s. Doesn’t look terrible. There’s plenty of rock stars of his era that are dead or completely incapacitated.

oof. yeah, he aged like dogshit

Ozzy
Chet was a lifelong heroin user

He aged as poorly as Keith Richards, just twice as fast.

if he's younger then 70 no. otherwise look at most country musicians

you'd look like shit too if you were raped by diddy and passed around to his friends from the time you were 13

Probably Lemmy, he was pretty shagged out towards the end. Phil Collins, tragic about his back accident. Peter Green ... He bravely took to the stage again, but there wasn't much left of him.

Who are Mötley Crüe for ten.

to be fair Mick Mars looked 70 when he was 30 and now that he actually is in his 70s he looks like a corpse. His back disease causing him to be all twisted and hunched doesn't help

If we work out a modifier they are probably on a par then.

Keith is in his 80s. He looked haggard as fuck for years prior but he doesn't look especially decrepit for a man his age now.

The last photos of Lemmy look horrible. But he had only days to live at that point.

Bon Jovi's guitarist, he's younger but he reached that point a while ago where it's so dialed in ... he's hit cruise control.

They didn't even know he had cancer.

ZZ Top.

That irish alcoholic dude that died last year

Thats like his whole charm though

lemmy always looked like shit

Keef's hands look worst of all. I'm surprised he hasn't retired entirely. Playing must hurt like hell with that much arthritis.

Is he actually trying to go on another tour?
Is HE actually trying to do a tour or is someone externally skin walking him?

Can't fault the man to be honest.

apparently it looks worse than it feels. he's said it doesn't really affect his playing at all
and besides, the worst thing someone with arthritis can do is to stop using them, so playing actually helps him

He looked gnarly but I reckon he could have decked you.

Shaun Ryder, he fluctuates actually.

haha yeah i bet this frail 70 year old could totally deck you bro

shut the fuck up

5 And I said: Yea, thou knowest that I believe all the words of my father.

6 And when I had spoken these words, the Spirit cried with a loud voice, saying: Hosanna to the Lord, the most high God; for he is God over all the earth, yea, even above all. And blessed art thou, Nephi, because thou believest in the Son of the most high God; wherefore, thou shalt behold the things which thou hast desired.

7 And behold this thing shall be given unto thee for a sign, that after thou hast beheld the tree which bore the fruit which thy father tasted, thou shalt also behold a man descending out of heaven, and him shall ye witness; and after ye have witnessed him ye shall bear record that it is the Son of God.

8 And it came to pass that the Spirit said unto me: Look! And I looked and beheld a tree; and it was like unto the tree which my father had seen; and the beauty thereof was far beyond, yea, exceeding of all beauty; and the whiteness thereof did exceed the whiteness of the driven snow.

9 And it came to pass after I had seen the tree, I said unto the Spirit: I behold thou hast shown unto me the tree which is precious above all.

10 And he said unto me: What desirest thou?

11 And I said unto him: To know the interpretation thereof—for I spake unto him as a man speaketh; for I beheld that he was in the form of a man; yet nevertheless, I knew that it was the Spirit of the Lord; and he spake unto me as a man speaketh with another.

So think about that then.

based mormon bro. i recognize that writing style

Imagine the sheer number of venereal diseases.

He has gotten more simplistic in his approach, and that was a while ago.

phil collins
eric clapton
van morrison
brian wilson

doesn't count if they always looked kinda old/crappy (neil young, alice cooper, lemmy, motley crue, keith)

Van Morrison? He's still got the moves.

Shane was still pretty with it, I thought. Despite having ragged the arse off of it to an Olympic standard. Keith could still give a reasonable account of himself, too.

sure. i'd say david gilmour (79) looks rougher than keith or more or less the same anyway
i don't know why everybody likes to shit on keith's looks. take a gander at some of these other blokes lately. none of them are looking all that great these days.
and David Gilmour was a handsome fella back in the day btw
he used to mog roger waters when they were in pink floyd together but gilmour has aged significantly worse than waters

clapton looks great for his age

ozzy for sure.
i'll add the surviving members of The Who, Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend (not that Pete was ever much of a prize in the looks dept.)

this gollum looking mf

goddamn, he wins. he looks like complete shit

i probably still would
