All the above pictures really sum up my feelings really about these bands and others like them. Despite not holding up a banner saying that these musicians should retire or anything like that, I really find it hard to enjoy looking at bands (I`m talking concerts or videos here and not as recording artists) when the band members are looking more like retirees than the artists that I once fell in love with. I haven`t seen any of my favourite old bands in concert for several years now and I prefer to remember them as they were and not how they are today.

Whilst not agreeing with a mandatory retirement age of 40 thats a bit tight.......but I think 50 should be imposed as the wrinkles and gray hair have now become too dominant
