Your thoughts.

Dirty Al · February 19th, 2012, 02:24 AM

isn't that why Bill Wyman is out? He was gaining weight and looking healthier than the others.

You can't fatten thoroughbreds, they say.....

and there were no maccas/kfc's.. back in the 60's to shape their earlier builds....

they missed out on the "growth hormone" years....

They're English. That's how people look in other countries.

haha, that reminds me of something my mom always says to me (she's a big Stones fan).

to quote my mom: "I love the Rolling Stones, but I'll never understand how the two UGLIEST musicians in the world managed to find each other and start a band!"

Cat MacKinnon · February 19th, 2012, 06:09 AM

MY personal theory, though, is that Keef actually died about 30 years ago...except nobody told him. i can just picture some reporter breaking it to him one of these days, and then Keith disintegrates into a puff of dust and blows away in the wind.

Better living through chemistry!

LOL exactly!

The Stones don't look 'anorexic' in those pictures to me... they look about the right weight for their frame/height in my opinion. Keef's and Ronnie's legs look pretty skinny, but maybe that's how their built, I dunno.

Just thought of an aside: can you imagine seeing Keef, Ronnie, etc in SHORTS?

CARGO SHORTS??

LOL

While you're at it, put 'em in Hawaiian shirts too.
Isn't that how proper geezer bands dress?

Colo Springs E · February 19th, 2012, 10:31 AM

@Durtdog, yes, and with baseball cap, SRV hat or fedora or something similar! :)

barncat · February 19th, 2012, 10:47 AM

Mick Taylor wouldn't fit in. He's looking pretty hefty from the last pictures I've seen.

MiloCroton · February 19th, 2012, 11:17 AM

You need to be skinny and wiry to pull off the rock look.

There is something that just doesnt work with the look of a well built person in a rock band. It probably has something to do with skinny being associated with youth, which is ironic because some of the most iconic skinny rockers are extremely old. But at the same time they do exhibit the energy of youth, which is important for the music.

I am a fairly young, twenty something. People my age are in uber trendy indie bands where style/image is very much above the music. Screaming girls will fall at the feet (or twitter pages) of these skinny hipsters. It just wouldnt work if they were either fat or heavily muscular. Muscly look can work for metal as its more aimed at boys, but anything aimed at girls (the main market!) is skinny guys, often pretty boys with fancy haircuts these days.

Like this:

or this:

Its the look that the majority of 'hip' teenage girls are into, because all the cool guys who are artists/musicians/creatives etc in the city (Shoreditch or Williamsburg) look like. Manoerixics who live off cocaine, beer & cigarettes. Oh and, mummy's trust fund usually too.
