Not sure who that is in ur pic…

I’m pretty sure that’s Johnny Rotten from the Sex Pistols. Still aged better than Sid Vicious. … Too soon?

Probably still does.. Trust me, if there’s anything ive learned in 40 plus years of life, and having spent some time around some very minor celebrities- it’s that women will frick absolutely ANYTHING that’s famous .

Honestly, if he had normal hair and no makeup I don't think I'd recognize him at all as Robert Smith. I guess stick with it if it still works.

It varies. If they can still pull off the look without looking ridiculous it’s cool, like Alice Cooper for example. If not, it’s time to evolve.

This.

Robert Smith was never trying to look like the rock star who’d frick your gf in front of you. So stick with that.

Leather? No

Spandex? Double no.

1970s Robert Plant tight jeans? Dear lord no.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA

Clapton has never needed gimmicks. He has been a great player and soulful singer since the beginning, and his life has thrown bricks at him.

One of my favorites, and Steve Winwood is the same way. That the two of them are tremendous collaborators and communicate on stage with a simple glance. Love it.
