Who's died this year? Brian Wilson, Sly Stone, RIck Derringer. Can't get much worse than being dead.

Axl, Lars, and Zakk all changed for the better.

Back in the day the guy wore an "Aids kills f*gs dead" shirt and hit a young girl in the face with a glass bottle. Now, other than running his mouth at his old bandmates and Mango Mussolini, he doesn't seem that bad anymore. Still sounds decent live too, unlike most of his contemporaries

Robert Plant has aged gracefully while resisting the urge to whore out his legacy.

Peter Criss and Gene Simmons for the better.
Paul Stanley, Eric Singer and Bruce Kulick stayed the same more or less
Ace Frehley, Vinnie Vincent and Mark St John changed for the worse. Thinking about it also Bob Kulick Playing lead guitar in Kiss must be a shitty job.

No one changes ever. The only thing that changes is what we know about them.

This. The bottle was thrown by a male fan and hit a hot headed, 23 year old Sebastian in the side of the head. It was impulsive, wrong and dumb on Sebastian’s part but perfectly understandable. The instigator and person really responsible for the whole thing was the guy who initiated the incident by throwing the bottle in the first place.Velvis wrote: ↑Fri Jun 13, 2025 10:02 pmAs stupid throwing a bottle into a group of people, I don't recall him aiming for the girl.Gibsonite wrote: ↑Fri Jun 13, 2025 12:26 pmBack in the day the guy wore an "Aids kills f*gs dead" shirt and hit a young girl in the face with a glass bottle.

Sebastian has also spoken at length over the years about his remorse and regret for throwing the bottle back in the crowd and accidentally hitting the innocent bystander.
He isn’t remorseful about jumping in the crowd and kicking the guy who threw the bottle in the head nor should he be.

This is kinda where my head was at. People’s behavior can evolve, but the DNA of their personality doesn’t.
Tommy Lee is a world class douchebag. He’s always been. But when I was younger I thought it was cool. Now? Not so much.

George Lynch
Jerry Cantrell
Steve Lukather (however tenuously)
Billy Idol
Brian Wilson
David Crosby
For the worse:
Morrissey
Roger Waters
Neil Young
Tommy Lee (remarkable that he somehow got worse)

Stayed the same? Michael Monroe.
There’s a pretty young blonde girl at work. I told her I was going to see him. she’s asked who he was. I showed her a photo and said “You could’ve been related “.
She said “ He could’ve been my mother”.
I think Michael would take that as a compliment.

That's your opinion...
I truly believe a lot of us change, evolve and grow, especially from being a 20-something to living as an adult with adult-like responsibilities.

Perfectly understandable? You really believe this?
Even at a young age, and being angry, testosterone driven, etc... 99.99% of the human race would realize, "This will NOT be a good idea!"
But... hence is the case with Bach's legion of delusional supporters, who also still believe he sings great. Lol.

Re: CHANGES or NOT ... Which Rock Stars Changed for the Better, Who stayed the Same & Who is Worse than Ever?
I'm a fan of Sebastian Bach but the only thing about him that aged gracefully was his hair.
He's just as much of a man child as ever.

Re: CHANGES or NOT ... Which Rock Stars Changed for the Better, Who stayed the Same & Who is Worse than Ever?
His latest album was pretty damn good though. He is somebody who I never thought would be capable of putting out good music on his own, but I stand corrected after hearing Child Within The Man.DonJuanDeMarco wrote: ↑Sat Jun 14, 2025 12:24 pm I'm a fan of Sebastian Bach but the only thing about him that aged gracefully was his hair.
