... REO Speedwagon, not the Paul O'Grady band, in case of confusion.

the backlighting is doing no favours to the guy on the right there, holy shit

yer man in the middle is a shoo-in for the 'men who look like old lesbians' thread

Exactly.

claudia winkleman's gonna need to get her hair back from the fella on the left there before she films this week's episode of strictly

You mean Dee Dee Ramone's uncle? To be fair to them, they were never a band of lookers in their prime, they probably look better now.

The REO photo is such a beautiful and pure expression of generations working together, Boomers dressed by a Gen X stylist who doesn't realize it's not 2004, back when the stylist last had a good paying gig overseeing a bunch of Millennial acts. How many have worn those chains and skull rings!?

Yeah, the world doesn't need yet another Full House reboot.

Why is there a teen in the Eagles? Is he one of Glenn Fry's love children?

No, that's Timothy B. Schmit. Been with the band since '77.

Ha, I think that literally is Glenn Frey's son.

I’d be very disappointed if Eiffel 65 and Blue didn’t use this opportunity to get on stage together for a joint performance of Blue.

... also suitable for the 'Band photos where one member refuses to play along' thread, somebody didn't get the memo about hands in pockets.

Photosensitivity etc aside, why oh why do people in bands STILL think sunglasses are cool?

...or not tucking in shirts.

(xp) Useful for hiding bags under the eyes, crow's feet etc, tbf

quite the polar opposite of old bastard couldn't gaf swag - old tryhard, self-conscious, po-faced not swag at all!

At some point Martha Stewart untucked her shirt and never tucked it back in. I have noticed this phenomenon with many casual-dress celebrities since.

On the other hand shirts keep getting made with less and less fabric so it’s hard to keep them tucked in past a certain point of middle aged spread.

Tell that to this guy!:

That is one long shirt - I assume that's why he hasn't got his hands in pockets.
