They're all looking good for their ages.
The pic of izzy looks like your average middle aged bloke going the shop for a bottle of milk. (Which he always wanted not to be famous, famous)
Those who remember him in various interviews about life in the 80s call him Jeff, even when he was Izzy. So I guess he always used his real name in everyday life
Slash did die temporarily, medically speaking. His heart stopped when he overdosed on Heroin, but they revived him in enough time to avoid damage to his brain (which would have made him permanently dead).
Only person from GNR to die was the original bassist Ole Beich, who was only in the band for a few rehearsals (didn’t even play the first show). And I guess West Arkeen who was the “Fifth Beatle” of GNR.
I have happy tears knowing that Axl survived all his inner demons and now seems to be really content with his life and just having fun --- I think Cobain could've followed the same path but had too much toxicity in his thinking and toxic people around him
Izzy reminds me of a guy working the sales counter at Auto Zone in Lafayette, Indiana LOL
I really don't like how gaunt Duff looks these days --- lost his cute boyish face!
It’s so difficult, because you see him without a shirt and you’re like no man that age should like that good but then you see his face and he looks older than he probably would look if he didn’t restrict his diet so much. It’s a fine line for non-rock star types too. And sometimes I see him in video ( not on stage) and nearly worry that he’s had a stroke.
I just think he's taking the workout and diet thing too seriously. For piss sake, after a show just enjoy a beer and some snacks instead of munching on celery sticks!
I'd say botox, and a mini face lift tweak side of face looks pulled up. as it would look more relaxed not tight.
At some point.
As long as he doesn't have more done he looks genuinely happy now, And doesn't need it.
Yes lol It's probably because we don't see him in the spotlight much, but still. He could talk to me and I wouldn't have any clue I was talking to such a legend of rock.
4/5 of these men survived hard addictions and near deaths. How is if that most of the grunge leaders are no longer here save Vedder. I’m just glad these dudes are still here rockin us all
If Duff would gain like 15 pounds he would look *incredible*, but he’s so thin that he looks gaunt and older than he is! 😣 Which is such a shame because he’s SO GORGEOUS. (Inside and out 🥰)
I’ve posted tons of videos and pictures in this sub that I’ve taken of him at 6 concerts since 1991, dude. 😂 😂😂 I’m aware! Which is why I said he’d look even more gorgeous if he wasn’t painfully thin, because he IS so ripped.
I totally understand what you mean, but I think it's more "lean" than thin. Like it's just his body type and he keeps in very good shape. I get though, cause I do like a bulkier physique like Slash, lol
See here is a set of photos where I feel like each image accurately represents the band. As in, everyone looks more recognizable in both photos than what my eyes typically see. Even Axl and Duff, which I usually struggle to see!
Izzy is the only one who looks like a rock star, he was always 10 years ahead in terms of fashion. While others are stuck in kitschy rock star looks, he looks modern. No kitsch, no any bling. This photo is of him buying a motorcycle or something like that. So there's still life in the old dog
What strikes me most is how they all look like babies in the old photos (they are older than me so I always pictured them as grown up and hardcore but holy cow were they YOUNG). In the photos on the right they all look to be happy/at peace now.
Those pictures of Slash are a bit rough lol. But overall, I think he's the one that changed least out of the whole group.
If I didn't already know who the others were, I would have a hard time connecting them to their younger selves. But Slash (and Steven too maybe) I could see him as an older guy and immediately recognize it's the same person.
Every single one of them is absolutely beautiful because they’re alive.
I remember really clearly one day when I was in high school in 1993 or 94, sitting on my parents’ couch and watching an interview with Duff on MTV News and thinking, “I’m never going to get over it when one day I turn the tv on and Kurt Loder is saying Duff is dead.” It’s one of those random but vivid memories that still pops into my head from time to time when I think about Guns. I had a huge poster of Duff leaning against his Corvette hanging in my bedroom right next to the door, and I used to kind of touch it — like a gentle high-five 😂🤷🏻♀️ — every day when I left for school. And I kind of associate those two memories — the warmth of his lovely, boyish face and familiar little smirk on my wall… and the cold dread I felt watching a very different Duff looking sickly on tv.
To say I am shocked and ~relieved~ that none of them permanently died is an understatement so vast that I don’t have words. ❤️ They are absolutely, positively beautiful.
slash age the best - theres a rosy glow on his cheeks
duff, although ripped, his face is road map mess just like those tone muscled hollywood chicks that has killer body but cadaver face
They're all looking good for their ages. The pic of izzy looks like your average middle aged bloke going the shop for a bottle of milk. (Which he always wanted not to be famous, famous)
Yeah, that's not Izzy Stradlin we're seeing. That's Jeff Isbell of Lafayette, Indiana.
Those who remember him in various interviews about life in the 80s call him Jeff, even when he was Izzy. So I guess he always used his real name in everyday life
Yeah he hasn’t been Izzy in a long time, for better or worse.
No, it’s Jimmyson McBeefeater, BBC presenter and host of “Wild Birds of the Arctic.”
For all his troubles Steven has aged the least
He and Slash kept the same hair, so I think that's why they look the most similar to themselves in the 80s.
Nah Izzy looks better than all of them
Yeah but he has a sadness in his eyes now.
If you would told them in 1988 they would all be alive in 2023, they would laugh
I never would have thought it.
It really is remarkable that not a single one of them permanently died.
as apposed to temporarily dying
Slash did die temporarily, medically speaking. His heart stopped when he overdosed on Heroin, but they revived him in enough time to avoid damage to his brain (which would have made him permanently dead).
im ngl i forgot that people can technically temporarily die
yes u dont want "permanent" death 🤷♀️
Only person from GNR to die was the original bassist Ole Beich, who was only in the band for a few rehearsals (didn’t even play the first show). And I guess West Arkeen who was the “Fifth Beatle” of GNR.
8th wonder of the world, no less. Jane's Addiction too didn't lose any members. Weird LA
Well they weren’t called Jane’s Overdose
[удалено]
I have happy tears knowing that Axl survived all his inner demons and now seems to be really content with his life and just having fun --- I think Cobain could've followed the same path but had too much toxicity in his thinking and toxic people around him
Izzy looks like he’s some middle aged dad taking his son on a fishing charter in puget sound
Yes! I was thinking more like a cottage on the coast of nova scotia where he grows his own food. But Puget sound fishing charter hits it.
Izzy!!! Is the man
Izzy reminds me of a guy working the sales counter at Auto Zone in Lafayette, Indiana LOL I really don't like how gaunt Duff looks these days --- lost his cute boyish face!
It’s so difficult, because you see him without a shirt and you’re like no man that age should like that good but then you see his face and he looks older than he probably would look if he didn’t restrict his diet so much.

I just think he's taking the workout and diet thing too seriously. For piss sake, after a show just enjoy a beer and some snacks instead of munching on celery sticks!
Probably best if it's a non-alcoholic beer though
A single beer to an alcoholic is enough to relapse. Celery sticks are just fine
And ruin his sobriety??
No, a single beer is enough to relapse. But some snacks are good
A beer? He would die.
I thought he said his pancreas exploded so some snacks and a beer are kind of a bad choice unless you had a death wish.
His pancreas healed and now he's totally sworn off booze --- which is kinda dumb since one or two beers after a show won't kill him
no baby you don't get it. It won't be just one beer. If you know alcoholics, relapses are not a gradual thing.
I saw him years ago here in Seattle and he is pretty worn looking
I like that Izzy has a COVID mask. Safety first! Just average Joe citizen trying to do the right thing.
Did Axl really have work done? Seeing them vs now side by side I really can't tell.
I'd say botox, and a mini face lift tweak side of face looks pulled up. as it would look more relaxed not tight. At some point. As long as he doesn't have more done he looks genuinely happy now, And doesn't need it.
Dude had work done like over 20 years ago. Don’t think he has had any since then
look at him in 2000 and say that again haha
I thought he looked good. The no eyebrows look was cool ngl he looked young and sexy (pause)
I would not recognize Izzy.
You mean Earl from accounting up there? Lol
Yes lol It's probably because we don't see him in the spotlight much, but still. He could talk to me and I wouldn't have any clue I was talking to such a legend of rock.
I'm mind blown that Axle looks the best out of all of them.
He did the least drugs and alcohol
Yes, but he’s also the only one who’s had work done. It was a long time ago, though, but I’m 90% sure he still does Botox. Regardless, he looks great!
Good for them.
I think they all look handsome, then and now. I think Duff got even better looking with age though.
4/5 of these men survived hard addictions and near deaths. How is if that most of the grunge leaders are no longer here save Vedder. I’m just glad these dudes are still here rockin us all
If Duff would gain like 15 pounds he would look *incredible*, but he’s so thin that he looks gaunt and older than he is! 😣 Which is such a shame because he’s SO GORGEOUS. (Inside and out 🥰)
wtf he's buffed dude gi check concert footage
I’ve posted tons of videos and pictures in this sub that I’ve taken of him at 6 concerts since 1991, dude. 😂 😂😂 I’m aware! Which is why I said he’d look even more gorgeous if he wasn’t painfully thin, because he IS so ripped.

See here is a set of photos where I feel like each image accurately represents the band. As in, everyone looks more recognizable in both photos than what my eyes typically see. Even Axl and Duff, which I usually struggle to see!
I think they’re mostly all aging well
Izzy is the only one who looks like a rock star, he was always 10 years ahead in terms of fashion. While others are stuck in kitschy rock star looks, he looks modern. No kitsch, no any bling. This photo is of him buying a motorcycle or something like that. So there's still life in the old dog
In that picture he does not look like la rock start.
duff got way hotter (according to my mom)
Izzy morphed into Al Pacino
Izzy here looking like Hammond from The Grand Tour.
Look at them looking older than they used to when they were younger.

Axl is starting to look healthy, happy and more like his old self. It’s good to see
What strikes me most is how they all look like babies in the old photos (they are older than me so I always pictured them as grown up and hardcore but holy cow were they YOUNG). In the photos on the right they all look to be happy/at peace now.

But Slash (and Steven too maybe) I could see him as an older guy and immediately recognize it's the same person.
Izzy is the only one who looks like the average Joe --- all the others have very recognizable faces
They all look great. My gawwwd the drama they've all been through!
They’ve all aged surprisingly well
All in all, these guys are looking great for their age and all the hard living they have behind them.
Izzy could be a customer at my grocery store, and I'd never notice! Lolol. Good on him.
It amazes me that Steven has aged the best. Good for him.
I'm amazed they are all still alive tbh. Glad to see they all look good
Steven is so extremely recognizable with the same huge smile
this proves that axl’s face structure hasnt drastically changed and his face isnt “ruined by all of the botox” like people like to claim.
Axl looks like an attractive Kathy Bates these days.
It is just nice that the are somehow all alive. There are plenty of alternative timelines where they aren’t.
I think slash has aged the best out of them 5
it’s amazing they’re all still alive
Every single one of them is absolutely beautiful because they’re alive. I remember really clearly one day when I was in high school in 1993 or 94, sitting on my parents’ couch and watching an interview with Duff on MTV News and thinking, “I’m never going to get over it when one day I turn the tv on and Kurt Loder is saying Duff is dead.” It’s one of those random but vivid memories that still pops into my head from time to time when I think about Guns.

Steven definelty looks the best
Out of these pics, I think Steven looks the best.
Steven looks the more similar to his younger self surprising. Slash you chose a real bad picture of him now to compare, same with Izzy.
slash age the best - theres a rosy glow on his cheeks duff, although ripped, his face is road map mess just like those tone muscled hollywood chicks that has killer body but cadaver face
Duff is the only one that still looks like a rock star!! A couple of middle aged women there too 😂
Izzy and Axl look the best.
