    I was always a big fan of Van Halen from their Roth days to Hagar. I just wish they could get their act together and tour again with Roth, like they planned before they lose it. Look what they have come too though. This is Eddie in the 1980's

    One of the best guitarist I ever heard ... actually saw him in concert on their 1984 tour. This is what he looks like now, in a photo taken a week ago.

    I nearly dropped out of my chair. If I saw this man, I would not have even known it was him and would have not asked for a autograph or picture. Fame does odd things to people, and perhaps drugs.

    Can you believe the change?

    My Gawd, has there been enough time for gravity to do that type of injustice?

    Nah. He'll be all right. I mean, if it wasn't for drugs and alcohol Keith Richards wouldn't look so good.

    I heard Keith Richards only smokes now and does nothing else. I think if that is true, it is because he developed a immunity to all drugs from the worlds most massive use.

    The picture at this link is not nearly so bad.

    Ya gotta realize, we ALL have pictures of us that are extremely unflattering on up to QUITE flattering....it's not fair to compare one extreme to the other and call it age progression. I think the pic at the link above is a better comparison. Plus, he's 49 ---basically 50 years old.......... What? Is he supposed to look 25 forever? Leave that to the James Deans of the world.

    Frightening thing is, after viewing images of D.L. Roth, and adding up the numbers, there's only 5 years difference between us. I was aghast to think that I could look so old, were it not for my JW upbringing and refusal to do drugs, drink to excess and women to no end. Being a witness, I guess counts for something?
