Jeez, that looks like they photoshopped Alex’s face on Ed’s body.

Here’s a more recent photo of Eddie taken in October 2006.

That one ain’t much better…

So, those teeth- a tweeker, or did chemo and radiation do that? Or just incredibly lax hygiene?

Looks like Methamphetamine did him in.

From what I’ve read, Eddie denies taking meth. But damn if that doesn’t look like “meth mouth.”

He was so cute when they looked alike.

My MIL’s teeth are all screwed up from chemo. However, the chemo was in the 80s and the teeth are now just becoming buggered.

man-he looks terrible! He ought to consider his (own) advice:…“might as well JUMP! (JUMP)…Go ahead and jump!” How come Mick jagger looks relatively good?

Either/or it must be fixable. I think he needs a new publicist.

Mick is a known health-nut - runs miles every day, watches what he eats, etc. While Keef is still a carrouser, Mick gave it up decades ago…

Old Father Time vs. Eddie Van Halen?

Not only is Old Father Time winning this one, hands down, but I daresay Old Father Time looks like a spring chicken in comparison to poor Eddie. I think the important thing to remember here is this: if you’re going to live fast, you’ve GOT to die young in order to leave a beautiful corpse.

Perhaps in the same way that the Japanese appear to age very slowly, Nederlanders appear to age more quickly?

I’m a huge VH fan (so big that the wife and I have seriously discussed naming our first future child Halen if it’s a girl).

And appropriately sad.

Sigh.
