Rock stars are people too, and even they grow old. For proof, we gathered a bunch of pictures of our rock-and-roll heroes as we want to remember them, and compared those pictures to what they look like now. With the added damage inflicted by years of alcohol and drug abuse, the results were not pretty.
Let's start with iconic Guns N' Roses front man Axl Rose. Click to the next slide to see how he's doing these days.

This looks like the exact moment Billy realized just how old he's gotten.

This does not look like the man who wrote songs with titles like "Creeping Death."

What percentage of his life do you think Ozzy's thought to himself, "Where am I?"

It's OK to grab the last beer or slice of pizza, but not both. That's just wrong.

They could use these as what happens when you do drugs LOL drug use would have tanked I swear. Too funny all these guys did massive amounts of drugs and it shows.

KEITH looks pretty damn good given the life he's lived. Said life, and the things he's done, and the music he's not only created but influenced will be looked back on for centuries as nothing less than a head-shakingly (new phrase) amazing accomplishment for one person over such a long period of time. Rock On - New STONES Tour to start in L.A. this summer!
