My list will be incomplete since there are rockers who I haven't seen a current image of in a long time.

In general, though, I think the guys who have aged the best are the guys in Bon Jovi or Nikki Sixx/Tommy Lee from Motley Crue.

Yeah, they are all 10-20 years younger (or more) compared to some of the rock and roll legends but I don't see any of them (except perhaps for Lee) hurtling downhill as they age further.

Besides, there are plenty of rock and pop guys from the 80's who now look like Augustus Gloop.

Here's a VERY interesting article I found awhile back that I "favorited" that shows side-by-side comparison pictures of many various rock stars then and now.

Old Rockers ~ Then & Now | Sex, Cigars & Booze Lifestyle Magazine

I couldn't agree more about Ringo! Looks incredible. I'd ask for his number. :heheh:

Seems to me all of the rockers that were the sexy foxes back in the day aged the LEAST well. Dave doesn't look anything like his former self except in the eyes. Robert Plant is, well...

John Paul Jones has aged pretty well. You can tell he didn't booze as much as the others. :grinthumb

Steven Tyler looks good to me for his age! He's had a ton of work done though, most likely. Bob Dylan looks like a creeper. :wtf:

Dave Mustaine, 50 this year but he looks more like 40




Kirk Hammett never seems to age




David Bowie, pictured last year, an unbelievable 63 - what's his secret? :D




Old Rodders, not too bad for an OAP :) And he's just become a dad again hasn't he?!




Joan Jett just keeps on defying the aging process (51/52 yrs old in the pic), or does she have a very skilled plastic surgeon :D




As for five rockers who have aged badly you can't get a finer example than The Stones!


Edit: I'm taking away Bill Wyman from my aged badly list and replacing with Neil:

beautiful Russell Mael, the man with the million-dollar face. ;D

though his actual age is kept under wraps quite tightly, it is believed (due to conflicting statements in media) that he's within the ages of 60 and 65. I have a dear friend who is convinced that Russell has had some "procedures". I say, keep it up. ;D

And I know Jon Bon Jovi isn't that old, but he still looks like he's in his 30's!
