| Is this really Robert Plant? I can't believe it! His bio says he's only 58 years old![img]http://www.flickr.com/photos/wnyc/172325627/[/img] |

| After you shag 20,000 groupies over a span of 40 odd years, you'll look old too! |

I'll bet thanks to Viagra, he's still going strong.  |

What about Davis Lee Roth?
1980"s
2006's
I saw him recently on Leno doing "Jump" and let me tell you, he wasn't jumping. In jeans and a button shirt, he looked like Jimmy Buffet. But he was happy, and that's all that matters. |

David Lee Roth isn't looking that bad, 20 years on. A quick Google Images search shows the last 20 years haven't been so kind to other heroes of our past.
They all start looking like Roger Whittaker.
Peter Gabriel, 1986 -> 2005
Billy Joel, 1986 ->2006
Saddam Hussein, 1986->2003

What is it with the little white goatees on Peter and Billy? These guys are starting to all look like Colonel Sanders.

Plant has looked overly-wrinkly for at least a decade, if I recall.
The vast majority of people take a huge nose-dive between 50 and 60. It kind of seems to hit you all at once - and of course it's more severe if you've smoked (which everyone did in the 70s), drank and more besides and led a life as crazy as Led Zepp's was in their prime. Mind you, I wasn't aware Plant was an especially bad rocker for this. Correct me if I'm wrong because I'm not a Led Zepp scholar. |

It seems to me, I remember an interview he and Page did a few years ago where Page said that Plant was too devoted to er, em... snapper...too let him indulge in other vices at the level of the other members of Zeppelin. |

around 40 - 45 you still look good. but come the next 20years..
your hair falls out, you a gut, getting fat, and looking old..

Robert Plant doesn't look much less than I'd expect..
Eddie Van Halen however.. whoa.. he's certainly aged! |

Bad Example. I think Roth looks pretty good still. He's gained some weight. His hair is a bit messy in this photo, but aside from that, not bad.
Speaking about Led Zeppelin, Page preserved himself well. Has a baby face. If he just worked off that spare tire he's acquired, he'd loook 10 years younger than his actual age. |
