Good Lord, Steve Tyler looks like a mummified corpse!

I found a video of Gary Richrath of REO Speedwagon that was made in Feb of 2014 and I was shocked, I use to picture him as he was in the early 1980's. I hate to say it but he looked awful, I forget he is 66 years old, but he still played a mean guitar!!!! I would love to spend a few hours talking to him. 8)

Old is a state of mind, I knew people that were old in their late 20's. I told myself that I would not be that way. I keep up with current trends, technolgy, and music. I like to talk with people that are younger than me. It does keep you feeling younger. However, every now and then the body will send a little reminder. :lol:

I saw that video as well......the years have not been kind to him. He looked like Leslie West used to look like, only with a couple of teeth missing.

:shock:

I saw Aerosmith last weekend in London and despite their age they were absolutely fantastic and they sounded great.

Right at the end Tyler took his shirt off and he's got a body most 20 year olds would be jealous of :lol:

Okay, back to the Gary Richrath thing ... I was not a huge fan of the guy or REO Speedwagon. But he was definitely a very capable guitar player (kinda in the mold of Neal Schon). But (unlike Neal) Gary -- back in the day -- was considered a pretty boy and a definite favorite of the girls. So, I had to go look and see what the previous posters were referring to ... Well, the results were admittedly shocking.

Gary Richrath -- back "then":
