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.

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.

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.

50+ years of Smoking Pot on the regular, doing Cocaine in massive amounts and drinking Liquor. Roth doesn't strike me as a Beer guy either. It's Whisky and Tequila.

Also... it appears, that Roth NEVER had any real "work" done and it shows. He's def had his hair/scalp tweaked a few different ways, but not his face.

He's def never needed any lipo, as he's always been in tip-top shape as an active guy, hiking, biking, and the dancing all kept his body in good shape.

But his face... is Joan Rivers, minus the 20 plastic surgeries.

Very underwhelming considering the good reception he got for the M3 show. Only 30 % or so sold for the concerts I checked. And the venues are pretty modest size. Guess the demand just isn't there.

M3 is for the most part - like a lot of these festival type events - already locked in with their basic draw, which M3 has dwindled over the years due to the fact they are bringing back the same 8-10 artists (every other year).

The same amount of people would have been there, with or without Roth! Anyone thinking he is the make or break on something like this, is HIGH. I'd venture to bet, they paid WAY MORE than his value... which I heard through the grapevine, they paid him $250,000.00.

Loverboy and/or Tom Keifer would have been just as solid of a headliner for about 1/5th that price.

Yeah I see that.

I wasn't being clear. What I meant with reception is that he did no harm on his reputation. He has been criticised a lot for his singing etc for the last 10 or 15 years. The videos of the show were mostly well liked and maybe could have made some people think again.

Yup, I get it...

But... I think him pulling the "I retired" and then showing up again also does a bit of disservice, as fans are sick of being toy'd with!

"This is your LAST chance to ever see us" blah, blah, blah... prices are all inflated, the fans drop huge chunks of cash on the "last ever tour tee/program/m&g", and then 3-5 years later... guess who's back?

Roth's performance at M3 was fine - for a 70 year old - but anyone thinking, wishing, or saying "He was the same ole' Dave" is HIGH AF!

Not dissing at all, I was a huge fan, but the Dave shtick grew very tired, very fast in the late 80's into the 90's, and not much he's done since compares to 1978-1988!

But... again, I understand the age factor is huge! Look at Ozzy. Legend... but a sad grim reality.

Yes, but he's not a drama queen. Paula, whom i was referring to, is.
