when should rockstars retire? - GoFuckYourself.com

MrIzzz · 01-27-2005, 06:07 PM

i think after you've made ten albums that you have become a legend, therefore on your 40th birthday you should think about hanging up the leather pants. theres too many rockers out there that i used to really love and rock to but are just plain old now.

ozzy, lemmy, jaggar, david lee roth, etc...

they all rocked at one time and are legends in my eyes, but why do they still take the stage and play live

TheMob · 01-27-2005, 06:09 PM

because they like to be on stage?

axelcat · 01-27-2005, 06:09 PM

35 max.....

its all good, but david lee roth hasnt been able to do a split in how many years??? lol

pornstar2pac · 01-27-2005, 06:14 PM

45 is a good age.

47 would mean they could get more money for the 45 kids they have

xclusive · 01-27-2005, 06:14 PM

As long as they are still able to bring the noise they should play when they slow down it's time to retire...

warlock5 · 01-27-2005, 06:17 PM

Motley Crue looks like the band members are about to die right now..

cold_ice · 01-27-2005, 06:19 PM

When they stop selling tickets. Shit most careers don't last so they should milk it for all its worth.

Shoplifter · 01-27-2005, 06:19 PM

I saw David Bowie twice last year and he was amazing.

I think youth is part of rock, but there is something to be said for the stature that age can bring.

But it has to be evaluated on an individual basis....some guys like Ozzie should just be buried now while they are ahead.

MuleScrote · 01-27-2005, 06:22 PM

Many of them overdose to avoid the decision.

bowie is good, but he also was never a very animated guy on stage. i'm looking at all the rockers who really used to have a stage presence. now thats something in youth that they had that was amazing. but seeing a legend on stage just standing there belting out tunes is kind of boring for me nowadays

SykkBoy · 01-27-2005, 06:28 PM

as long as people keep buying their albums and tickets....
while Ozzy may seem to have issues on his show, once he hits the stage, he's still a fucking madman

most of these guys have spent a majority of their life on the stage, they couldn't quit if they wanted to, it's part of them and stay in their blood....

When they get aids...

Jayo · 01-27-2005, 06:32 PM

When they can't make good music any more, its time to retire. Its sad to see them try to comeback and fail

Veterans Day · 01-27-2005, 06:34 PM

Best concert ever seen by me was KISS in 2000-2001. They may be 50 but playing like they did in 76 in full gear, packed arenas for 4 hours is/was amazing. No other band in history has a marketed presence like Gene Simmons and KISS. Ace is flat out amazing when he is not sauced.

pornguy · 01-27-2005, 06:38 PM

if i were making the money that they are, I would retire the same day that I die.

pornstar2pac · 01-27-2005, 06:42 PM

Iron Maiden still look great and one is even 50 now.

Maiden Rules!!!

Mike Okitch · 01-27-2005, 06:42 PM

If the prostates of the band members become larger than their heads, it's time to call it quits

Persius · 01-27-2005, 06:43 PM

when they look too old

wargames · 01-27-2005, 06:47 PM

That's how much they love music.

yuvalus · 01-27-2005, 07:13 PM

When they get to this stage

Antonio · 01-27-2005, 07:41 PM

My brother went to Judas Priest concert last year and said it was a blast.
My brother's 36 and I don't even want to think how old are the Judas Priest guys. So, to answer you question, the guys from Judas Priest, Iron Maiden etc should NEVER retire. Babes like Britney should retire at age of 19 max ;)

Spunky · 01-27-2005, 07:43 PM

I think the stones should have retired 29 years ago...but they all tend to milk it for what it's worth

tungsten · 01-27-2005, 07:43 PM

i agree 40 sounds right

flashfire · 01-27-2005, 07:44 PM

never! seriously the old rockers put on a better show than any of these new bands...and I'm young...Metallica, Ozzy, Maiden, I have seen those 3 and tons of new bands and the old tops put on a show thats 10x better

candyflip · 01-27-2005, 07:46 PM

Kiss made over $20 milion in Ticketsales with half the lineup AND a co-headliner - Aerosmith.

I wouldn't want to retire bringing in that kind of loot for doing what they do.

sickkittens · 01-27-2005, 08:09 PM

Age shouldn't matter. When music, spirit, and passion isn't there, then it's time to leave.

GiantGnome · 01-27-2005, 08:12 PM

eddy vanhalen just turned 50 yesterday. you saying hes over the hill?

D Flower · 01-27-2005, 08:14 PM

I think a rockstar should retire when they just can't put on a good show anymore.

Praguer · 01-27-2005, 08:28 PM

Man ! Do any of you kids go to Live concerts ?

Beacause honestly compared to a concert of Kiss, Peter Grabriel, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Pink Floyd, etc, the new band shows seem like a high school gig. Of course with a few rare exceptions

Rock'nRoll is a life style and as long as those guys are capable of putting on a good show and bringing in the crowds, who cares if they are old or not.
