Latest DLR photo…

Post by Fletch »

Taken this week. I know he’s 70 but should he look 20 years older than that, unless something is wrong, which I hope is *not* the case. I was worried when he made his retirement announcement back in 21 and it was sort of cryptic that something might be going on.

It really does look like he’s aged 30 years since the last VH tour.

He doesn’t look great but does look like a lot of 70 year olds. The common folk. Often celebs have the means to look better longer.

It’s a shitty “creeper” photo… most don’t look great in these types of photos

It’s crazy how the general public becomes so weird and obsessed with older musicians and their looks. This is what happens when the artist or band keeps presenting older pictures of themselves online and people think that’s how they still look.

He didn’t look like that in May 2025.

I particularly like when Sludgers act like they're all married to Susanna Hoffs look-alikes.

Funny, I’ve been in this board 2 decades and maybe MAYBE have witnessed 1 or 2 guys post a pic of their lady. Don’t recall any of the women looking like prime Baywatch material. More liege Flying J material.

He is 70. He isn't going to look like 1984.

He looks like a train conductor for the local state fair.

If I had all that DLR money, the first thing that I’m doing is calling Brad Pitt’s plastic surgeon - dude is exactly nine years younger than Dave but he looks 25 years+ younger at least. Second thing I’m doing is buying some Bosley hair. Fix me up and let me go out looking great instead of the crypt keeper.

I think Dave tried the Bosley route a few years ago and it didn’t take. He’s probably needs to call Farrell and get a wig.

What I'm guessing too. I think he's been battling it for years.

I saw a YouTube video on the pace of aging. Tons of internal factors (not talking cosmetic surgery, alcohol or drugs, etc.) influence the pace at which you appear to age and why two 70-year-olds might look 10-20 years apart in appearance. Genetics is wild. It's similar to why two guys taking gear and working out the same may not achieve the same level of muscularity. Sammy is 77 and not slender, but he looks younger than Dave. Supposedly, there are two age range milestones where we take considerable jumps in how we look aging. In the end, we're all fucked regardless.
