He looks really unhealthy. Like OVERLY stressed out and it took its toll. Poor guy

..age is a bitch. Ego's continue :D

Nah this isn't an age thing. This is a health thing. You don't automatically gain weight when you age. If that were true, all old people would be fat.

Difference is Axl was cool, like the coolest singer ever. Mean while no one ever cared about Danzig.

The punk crowd cared about him when he was in the Misfits. Then people cared when he released "Mother." Then again, albeit briefly, when GTA San Andreas came out.

But yeah, otherwise, you're right.

Ah man the perils of... aging

The perils of rock and roll d- Ooh, cake!

I like two things about this photo: That he appears to be looking at the entire cake as if to say, "Okay, guess I can share. I'll give this piece to one of our guests and then come back for the rest of the cake," and that the paper towels are still wrapped, implying that they won't need them because Glenn Danzig is like a vacuum. He never misses a single morsel!

What the hell was this about?

basically the promoter was all messed up and not very organized for an event so danzig had to play before the opening acts. the condition was that danzig was supposed to announce the other bands. instead danzig closed the show and never announced the other bands. then things came to a head and you see the video clip. this is the guy who punched danzig side of the story anyway.

here is an interview about it.

danzig claimed it was a setup by the guys crew, so the guy could sue danzig for hitting him.

Danzig was a little more underground but TON of people still cared. Just because you don't have the spotlight on you doesn't mean people don't care.

Wow really surprising. I haven't seen a picture of him since the old days. He was really fit and muscular. Aging sucks.

I don't know why people equate being out of shape with aging. Look at RHCP. Those guys are around the same age and they're fit as hell.

I was a pretty big Danzig fan back in the day. Still like know but I don't follow them much just every now and then.

Yeap Glenn put on a few pounds like alot of people do as they age.

So say will look at the RHCP they still look fit. Not everyone ages the same and no matter how hard one person my try they will never be the same size or in some cases close to the size they where 20+ years age.

Alot of people start have thyroid issues as they age and there weight gain can be huge until they find a medication that will level it out and some never find that medication that works.

I get so tired of most people saying well this person is the same age or older than Axl and looks great but Axl is fat and if he wanted too he could lose some weight. If you look back on bands from the 80's rock era I bet you will see that most are overweight and people that are close to the same size is more of an exception. All you have to do is look around you if you 35+ years old and notice people you seen when you were 16 and I will bet most will be overweight compared to the youthful size.

Like I said there are exceptions to this but most will have gained weight, what about Slash?????? He is pretty heavy now a days himself but he is almost always wearing black which will hide someone being overweight to some degree.

Yeah he looks fat but Danzig has released more output, in various genres, than Axl will ever dream to. Axl was still some Indiana hayseed while Danzig was making a name for himself and influencing many bands along the way.

This.

Saying shit like "nobody ever cared about Danzig" is just really inaccurate.

That must be why the Crimson Ghost (Misfits skull) is seen everywhere worldwide and bands like Guns N Roses and Metallica have covered Misfits songs (written by Danzig)...fuck, Johnny Cash covered "13" by Danzig on one of his American Recordings albums, I suppose Johnny Cash was just some pretender to Axl's true rockstar throne too :lol:

If we live long enough, we all look like cupcakes in the end. Some sooner then others, but I'll bet many just don't give a fuck anymore once they hit a certain age, and they just let themselves go. I have no problem with it. To maintain a process for years you need to give a fuck about what will happen if you stop doing it.

Yeah, he has a bit of a gut and a pretty well documented history of being a bit of a wanker but that performance posted by the OP wasn't bad at all* (*as in: sounded pretty much like he always has)

I've never heard people complain that Danzig didn't bother showing up to his own gig or made thousands of people wait 5 hours for him to take the stage etc etc etc and he usually has a new album to put out for his fans to listen to as well...note Danzig's set doesn't consist entirely of Misfits songs- when they broke up he started another band under a different name instead of calling it the Misfits ala Axl and GNR.

Basically you can compare Axl to anybody and 9 times out of 10 Axl will still come out on the wrong end.

There are old people and there are fat people, but there aren't that many fat old people.

Haha, the gif makes it look a lot worse than it actually was though it definitely says something for not starting "push me, shove you" games with an unknown quantity.

There are lots of stories of how big (little) a tosser Glenn AKA Fonzig is but the dude has it all over Axl in just about everything.
