More bad news for AC/DC

Kevin is obviously a fashionista - that Boris Trump look is all the rage right now I hear. Wannabe-Rutger Hauers.

That's the first pic I've seen of Axl ever where he looks like a friendly average dude at ease with himself. It must be heavily photoshopped.

He's been cultivating his Ellen Degeneres look for years now.

He's slowly turning into Carrot top.

Kevin could be a commentator on MSNBC.

He looked worse with his early 80ies perm actually, that was poodle rock in perfection.

Of all the 1st league AOR monsters of the time - Journey, Foreigner, Styx & REO -, REO were the ones I had the most issues with though they weren't bad musicians at all, but Cronin's vocals were/are an acquired taste. The band's groove was noteworthy though and the guitarist had a nice American flow.

They're also the band "guilty" of turning Blackmore pop. A lengthy 78/79 tour as an opener for REO amply proved that the Rainbow Dio era-line up's appeal to teenage girls of North America was of somewhat limited nature. Blackmore returned from that tour a wiser man and Rainbow went from this here



to this here 



and doubled their record sales in the process.

REO epitomized, in the mid-late '70s, midwestern American rock, which suited Cronin's voice better than the AOR stuff, IMHO. The live album "You Get What You Play For" is required listening for admission to the heartland.

Benny Hill?  No way .....

 Gah! My eyes! Make it stop! 

[Highlander]

+1 on Billy's comment... a nice image of Gregg Philbin with a T'Bird on the cover too... somewhat frustrated not to be able to trace any video images of him with it though...

Michael Stanley Band's Stage Pass live release was in there too... Jonah Koslen era...

Quite liked that "Heatland" material...

[Dave W]

Some of these comparisons are way far afield. Next you'll be comparing him to Margaret Thatcher.

At least he's not Steven Tyler, who looks like somebody's great-grandmother.

[Basvarken]

The Benny Hill likeness is quite strong though... 

[Dave W]

Yes, it is. Now when I watch the famous clip, I'll think of Axl.

That was an excellent live album no doubt.

Dude really does look like a lady

At least Axl did away with the box braids. He looked like a middle aged mom that thought it would be a good idea to get a matching hairdo with her 12 year old daughter while vacationing in Jamaica.
