Someone needs to tell Wes Borland the Die Antwoord chick's already got a boyfriend.

TFF pic could also belong on 'show me men who look like old lesbians' tbh.

Lloyd Cole now looks like Meatloaf. The Motorhead tshirt in the Culture Club pic is a stroke of genius.

Going back to look up some 1995-2005 bands, but good lord, they were all emitting "sobriety and wisdom" back then.

If anything, at least they've grown into their pretentiousness.

It just takes some time...

Mötley Crüe needs to try a little harder, not completely convinced of the wisdom or the sobriety

too young for seapunk (Moodles), Friday, 3 July 2015 16:39 (eight years ago) link

Yeah, it's a stretch. I was specifically looking at Tommy there.

...other than David Coverdale looking like the guy with both a corner office and a Harley.

David Coverdale is looking okay. So's Rick Allen.

this is the funniest fucking thread

I'm having some WS Hall of Shame feelings about the lead singer of 311, too.

from batman to balloon dog (carl agatha), Friday, 3 July 2015 17:50 (eight years ago) link

I'd like to commend the Butthole Surfers for still looking like some recently woken, distracted slobs in their last press shots i've found. when gibby makes a straight face, paul looks goofy, and vica versa

(Not that I have to be photographed but I can feel the pain, nevertheless).
