Hairball
Of course the band is looking old, but Mick and Ronnie always have brand new hair.
Seriously !! you are suggesting they have wigs. Absolutely no way on earth.
Show me a point in time through their life when they had less hair.
Mick is the most photographed man in the world, and i can't remember him ever showing hair loss. Ronnie even more so, he's got the water gypsy thick black hair, he said it himself. He's father and brothers were bald though. Err wait a minute Hairball do you know something i don't
Sure they dye their hair though.
There was an insider who used to post on shidoobee back in the day who was adamant that Mick has hair transplants.
He ruffled feathers left and right amongst the Mick defenders with his statement, but stuck by his word until the end.
The end of what? I don't understand.
Mick doesn't wear a wig nor does he have plugs/transplants - when the wind hits him, it's obvious. AND - don't you think Keith would've made fun of him?
BOOM. It's obvious.

Ya ever think THEY look out at the crowd and think:
OMG, these @#$%& are OLD. WTF.
A friend of mine spent time with Mick after a show in Nashville a few years ago and said Mick was very depressed. My friend asked him what was the matter and he said, "They're so old. The audience. They're so old."
this varies from show to show. I remember during A Bigger Bang, I went to the Atlanta show and there were hot girls everywhere in revealing outfits, lots of young(er) people. A few months later in St. Louis, the crowd looked like there were there for a matinee Tony Bennett show.

just browsing through the latest photos of the stones in concert i noticed a significant difference in appearance from previous tours, i know they are not getting any younger and that some will say they have always looked old, but it was a bit of a shock.i just wonder how long they can keep this going.
any thoughts

They've looked a bit weathered since Voodoo Lounge-everybody ages, they seem to be taking care of themselves. Is this worth a thread?[/quote
Since VL? Hell, I remember one reporter claiming (somewhat correctly) that the 1981 Tour was where they - Keith in particular - started appearing to decompose before our eyes. For me, Mick and Keith both appeared to have aged noticeably between 1978 and 1981. My older brother said he thought they'd be playing in their 50s and that was hard to fathom at the time. Well, we all know how things progressed! To think of them playing in their 70s?! Most people didn't think Keith would live that long!
"Gonna find my way to heaven ..."
Oh, please!Quote

I don't know if it's absolutely true or not, but have no reason to doubt the source - he was a good guy who attended dozens (maybe hundreds?)of Stones shows.
As for Ronnie, I'm not saying he has a wig or hair transplants, but it seems clear he dyes his hair...a nice jet black and he wears it well.
From the new pics, seems he just recently had it done prior to the tour, as there are older pics of him with nice streaks of grey.
Mick has paid models to be in the front row and some of his solo shows, and you can tell there were models in the crowd for Shine a Light...I think that's terribly cheesy, but Mick obviously likes being around young women (who doesn't?)Quote

Mick is one of the most photographed men in the world and there's never been even a hint of baldness in all these years...and again, he combed his hair back for that film, The Man from Elysian Fields, and the hairline looked very real.
I certainly don't view it as a negative, but it's usually quite noticeable, especially at the hairline. It just has this weird, unnatural texture and pattern to it, and Mick and Ronnie don't have it. Just my opinion though.Quote

Hollywood movie makeup experts easily can make a person go from bald to a full head of hair and vice versa. They even do it on SNL in between skits!
Having hair transplants shouldn't be seen as a negative anyways (if indeed Mick has them). An acquaintance of mine in College who was also in an up and coming somewhat semi-successful band was balding at the young age of 22, and tried everything until he ultimately invested in getting hair plug/transplants. It took several sessions where they tediously transplant splotches of real hair. He did it "undercover" during the summer months, and when he returned for the fall semester he looked like a brand new man - just like Mick!

At the other end of the spectrum, I'm 62, enfeebled by caring for toddlers, and possess the strength of roughly 2/3 of a man.

So glad they don't interfere with age like Mr. McCartney.

I thought both Mick and Keith both employed full time, make - up artists when on tour.
Are they getting value for money?!

Hair dye? Does that even need to be discussed? OF COURSE Mick and Ronnie dye their hair. That isn't even up for a debate.
