Ok, first of all, I’m probably the biggest Aerosmith fan on the planet.

Second, no one is saying these guys didn’t or don’t rock the fuck out (except fred durst)

The writer is not saying they don’t rock or they should stop rocking. She is saying they should stop having gross old man orgies with girls young enough to be (and given their pasts, could biologically be) their daughters.

Aerosmith rocks and I love Steven Tyler, along with most of these other bands. But their sex stories disgust me. The whole rocker attitude that the only pleasures in life is unmonogomous sex disgusts me. And now that they are all like 90, they can keep making music and I will keep buying it but they really need to stop doing whatever girl crosses their path. Especially Bret.

Seriously, it’s an OPINION!!!!! stop getting all mad cause someone doesn’t have the same ideas as you. And yeah they may still be selling tickets and albums and Guitar hero games but they are getting older. Everyone gets older. duh. the author isn’t even suggesting that she is better than these ppl or that she doesn’t think she’ll age. old ppl are funny looking most of the time and that’s just the way it is.

At 80 they’ll probably still have more natural talent than most of today’s oversynthesized singing fashion magazine ads. Sex symbols? Who cares. ROCK ON!!!

Except for Bret Michaels and Axl Rose (and maybe Robert Plant, but in the VERY early years), I’ve seen no sex symbols in this list. All of the other always were ugly, though stylish – but they are musicians, they don’t need to be handsome. Those who are lucky to be talented and beautiful are blessed, and as so, are few…

Good little article!! I see a lot of celebrity worship syndrome here. I actually read that some psychology association is pushing to have celebirty worship branded a mental malady.

Look most of those guys would never have had a woman if they were not in a band. Axl, Durst, etc. So the hell with them.

Anyone remember when Matallica used to beg fans to dub their demo and trade it in 1982?

I find it truly remarkable how many people came out in defense of these men. While I do find it disturbing that we live in a highly ageist society, I find it refreshing that someone ( a woman) would have the gumption to call these “Rock Gods” as she sees them. It seems to be much more socially acceptable to trash women for their appearance, even if their only crime is to have gained a few pounds (i.e. Jessica Simpson, who’s young.) It’s high time we put the spotlight on men who, as a result of a lifetime of over-indulgence, look horrible and are not even remotely fuckable, regardless of how they may delude themselves.
