persona they had thirty years ago, or should they just stick with it..?

The Cure played last night at the SKC, and Robert Smith, at 64, just looks pretty creepy...





Reminds me of...

You know who has always kept it classy onstage and hasn’t changed his look much? Eric Clapton.

I think it depends. If the look doesn't show off the aging body, I don't think it's as big of a deal. For example, Slash can still pull off the same look he had in the late 80s. However, Judas Priest's or Vince Niel's look of leather on geriatric skin isn't the most flattering.

I mean he has looked fricked up for a long time, now he just looks older and fricked up. I think he's still firing on the all cylinder fricked up look just fine. It is a big part of his onstage persona so he cant really stop in my opinion.

Yes. They are also people and subject to societal norms. I’m probably in the minority though.

Rick Springfield looks amazing at 73, he should still keep his shirt on.

regardless of cosmetics or what Smith looks like today, the dude still sounds and performs like he's 25 yrs old.
3 sets, 29 songs, nearly 3 hours of live music ... impressive

likewise, AC is 75 and still kicking arse
