Still going strong, baby. Love Robert!

Any other rockstars still keeping it going like they used to?

OpinionatedCyborg · Jan 20, 2012

Is that Sean Penn in the last photo? lol

ChiTownBuffalo · Jan 20, 2012

He looks likes....

Well, Randy Quaid to Dennis Quaid, if in this simile, Dennis Quad is Tim Burton.

You probably "can't unsee" because it is really Sean Penn.

rezuth · Jan 20, 2012

For some reason I read Will Smith and I was going into this thread to scold you, HOWEVER! Now that the tables have turned I'll say I would have changed it if I was him. Good for him if he really likes it though.

Is Sean Penn playing Robert Smith in a movie? Why am I just now finding out about this? Lol.

Loved that movie.

Seanspeed · Jan 20, 2012

Not really. If its who he is, then its who he is, but I'm more impressed by rockers who grow old gracefully and let go of their youth with dignity.

I think it's mostly the fact that he gained a lot of weight, even though he was never particularly fit before. If he lost weight and still maintained his image he wouldn't look so bad, tbh.

Boozeroony · Jan 20, 2012

lethial · Jan 20, 2012

He's always looked gross.

ATF487 · Jan 20, 2012

No, he looks weird. Love the Cure but the dude needs to grow up at some point. Wear some suits and start writing piano ballads

What are you trying to prove?

Spectacular Dr Dawg · Jan 20, 2012

He looks like a clown.

Tashi · Jan 20, 2012

Whatever. I applaud Robert Smith for making absolutely beautiful music.

gdt · Jan 20, 2012

Seriously, it's time to change the look. You're an old man now, don't put on a fake look.

woodypop · Jan 20, 2012

He ain't exactly "rocking" that look anymore.

Fry · Jan 20, 2012

Nah. It just doesn't suit a guy of his age. It looked awesome years ago though.

R2D4 · Jan 20, 2012

Ya he's a real rebel. Not.

How's it a fake look if he's the one who popularized it?

He's forcing himself to keep that look because he thinks the fans want it or something.

sixteen-bit · Jan 20, 2012

I think it's okay for him to let it go.

Spider from Mars · Jan 20, 2012

I want to see him when he is 80, dressed like that and doing songs from Pornography, Disintegration and Bloodflowers. It will be the greatest reunion show of all time.

Szu · Jan 20, 2012

I wouldn't rag on Robert Smith. He's the only one that can save us from the terror of Mechastriesand.

Monas · Jan 20, 2012

I didn't applaud him then nor do i now.
Ian Curtis dumps all over his pretentious sadness/hurt/whatever.
They drove that post-punk era to the ground with such gimmicks.

I've never read anything so fucking ridiculous.

dallow_bg · Jan 20, 2012

It's been sad for a while.

I guess that's the point.

Or he just likes it and feels comfortable or something.

Guevara · Jan 20, 2012

Aging rockstars, it's hard to get it right.

bbagwell · Jan 20, 2012

I love the Cure, always have. I must say that his appearance seems very dated and forced. Like a band on a reunion tour who wants to convince everyone that they are the same band they were decades earlier.

Style and looks normally evolve for everyone, rocker or not.

Yeah..................................................................gotta put my eyeliner on. Oh and mess up my hair.

Because its a facade to remain popular. Its his trademark look, but it was his trademark look 25 years ago. Wear a wig on stage or something if its that important to him, but it kind of looks pathetic if he is just picking up the paper and he looks like he is trying to be in his 20s when he is 52.

Or do what Alice Cooper does, manage the hair to make it look nice when not on stage. Don't pretend you don't have a couple million in the bank.

Dyno · Jan 20, 2012

You youngsters call it some kind of act but when you see him rocking out in a Toronto Maple Leafs Hockey Jersey and that hair then you'll realize that he's simply one-of-a-kind and doing his own thing.

Aegus · Jan 20, 2012

Will see him in Barcelona so I'll tell you then.

lush · Jan 20, 2012

He still has it too, Not In Love with CC in 2010 was/is perfection.

People do crazier things over their appearance. Get over it.

Wait, the branding uses Talking Heads references but the main character's designed after Robert Smith? Get your new wave right, people!

Heretic · Jan 20, 2012

I fucking love The Cure and Robert Smith can do whatever he wants!

Do you applaud Robert Smith for continuing to rock his classic look?

Either I made up lies about the Boston Bomber or I fell for someone else's crap. Either way, I have absolutely no credibility and you should never pay any attention to anything I say, no matter what the context. Perm me if I claim to be an insider
