rockstars and their unique ability to be skinny and fat

[JOHN MATRIX]

has anyone else noticed this, that is the unique ability of aging rock stars to be both skinny as a rail and entirely fat at the same time? for example, Rush is one of my favorite bands, but when i was watching rush in Rio dvd the other day i was dumbfounded by geddy lee's appearance, he was skinny as crap but seemed to be made entirely of fat bodies applied to his bones, as if no muscle was present at all. ive noticed the same strange appearance in may old rock stars, who while skinny, appear to be composed of all fat. itis truly strange

My favorite train wreck is Iggy Pop. Heroine is one hella drug!

he's almost as big a joke as you.

[Cap]

Cocaine is a helluva drug.

[YoungBlood]

All the guys you mention, if not for drugs being involved, have such a little interest in fitness. I doubt they hit the gym regularly. So, they don't have much muscle and the body only holds onto what it needs to move around the stage like a chicken/bone rack (Mick Jagger).
Couple that with eating not so good foods (as nutrition goes), and you have a "skinny fat" look.

[TrapsMcLats]

a few rockers that do pay attention to fitness:

u2 (all those guys are in decent shape, particularly the drummer)
shakira
paul simon
henry rollins
jay-z
ozzy (now he does at least)
james hettfield
dave navarro
anthony keidis

[ozman]

[pumpster]

Some of these guys were obviously dweebs growing up, not a shred of testosterone or masculinity even before drugs. Skinny AND pale!

You love me. 

I love you. 


We all love each other. 

About time you came out of the closet.

[Fury]

Don't project on me. 

I'm not the one professing my love for other men.

Pete Doherty from a shit British band called Babyshambles. Somehow manages to combine skinniness and flabbiness whilst being addicted to crack and heroin.

He is banging Kate Moss, however.

From someone who has inside experience.  Too much alchohal, higher fat and carb diet with no resistance exercises.  Also drugs.  Uneven sleeping patterns, white skin "no sun" travel from city to city.  Too much a caffiene.  I call it the grandma skin look.  Skinny but fat, white. 

I used to see Steve Jones(sex pistols), Billy Duffy (the cult) and Duff mckagan (gnr) train at golds in north hollywood years ago.  I used to train Lita Ford, and hit the gym a couple of times with Jerry Dixon (warrent) when he was interested in GETTING BIG.  Never materialized though. 

Duff still looks great and is really into biking.

Don't know bout the rest.  I exited that scene long ago.

I bet Duff is a great guy, but all those years at GNR, all that drug, alcohol abuse and the pressure to belong to such band affected is health very much in a tremendous negative way. I hope that now he is clean. By the way you neer trained Slash?

I didn't acutally train Duff, he traind at the same gym.  Just the previous 2 Lita and Jerry.  I"ve met them all, and all were cool.  Billy Duffy was a little standoff ish.

Duff was a cool mofo.  the

on his speaker made it the most memorable bass rig of the 80s.

Skinny, fat and pale.

The kooks are a fine example of that:

Cmon boys, get a tan, a haircut, buy some dumbbels and eat something decent. They can probably bang hot chicks anyhow, but still, i wouldn't want to look at that in the mirror.

RnB and rap artists are usually in pretty good shape. Maybe it's a black thing, they're more conscious about their body. Most "rockers" i know would rather drop dead than admitting they work out.
