In case anyone didn't know.....we all age, it's part of life. If you are lucky you get to be really old. If I'm lucky enough to get to be an old man I promise I won't hold your youth and inexperience against you the way you hold older peoples age against them.
Robin, as myself, has a few years on him. Being a rock star he has weathered well. Besides, if you have passed 40, take a close look in the mirror, bet the large part of us aint what we use to be.
The guy generally looks really good this is just a REALLY BAD angle. Shoot a 15 year old at this "Let's see those nose hairs 'K?" angle and HE won't look good.
Unless they are stretched out in some sort of wild pose, you NEVER see your average fashion model shot like this male or female.. Cut the dude some slack!
@OPTIMISPOOH Yup. You'd think that with all the video technology available the average person would know more about perspective distortion created by lenses/angles. Guess not. The width of his forehead appears smaller than the width of his jaw at this angle, giving the illusion of an enormous neck and lower jaw. My sister is a VH1 video editor and almost every celeb requests no low angle close ups for the same reason. I saw CT live about two yrs ago and he looks nothing like this vid
People who live in a "IMAGE" mindset will only recieve 1 type of outcome from life: F*A*I*L -RZ has led the life of 10 men,...yea, he's older,...so what....the guy fuckin rocks!
I had such a huge crush on Robin Zander back in the 70s when I was in High School. He still looks good to me. I've seen Cheap Trick perform lots of times. Such a great band.
Robin Zander is an amazing singer.I'm so happy these guys are still popular.Don't laugh but I know alot of young kids who got into Cheap Trick because of their Theme Song to That 70's Show,and to me that's pretty cool.
Agreed.. Geezuss people.. Who the heck are YOU, those that are pretentious.. to think you will look so damn amazing when you've aged.. ? Life happens.. and we age. How about you listen and appreciate what Cheap Trick has brought to us, instead of zoning in on wrinkles. Smarten up!
I still have a 'wallet-size' magazine cutout of Robin... I just loved him! :)
He's not as "angular" as he used to be, but he seems healthy enough. I've seen clips of recent CT performances - the arms are smokin' by themselves. And the voice ... STILL AMAZING!!!!!!!!

People might take you more seriously mychevyone1 dear , if you learned how to punctuate. Robin has still got it! And at least you knew Robin was from Rockford.
Robin is actually from Beloit, WIS...but I'm sure he hung out in nearby Rockford a lot as a kid because there isn't a lot to do in Beloit. But the rest of the band is from Rockford, IL.
Robin is now 56 years old. Dear God people, give him a break. If you look at other current pics of him, he really doesnt look bad at all. I still think he looks great. A man like him cannot look bad.
But thats not even the point. Whats it matter what he looks like? He is such an amazing singer.

Wow, poor Robin looks terrible:( He was always one of the most beautiful men in rock. I mean, just astonishing good looks. It's sad to see him in this condition.
I think you've misunderstood. Robin is an amazing talent. I love him. I'd drink his bath water! It's just a shock to see him looking like this is all, and it's very sad because he was always so beautiful. And beautiful isn't a word I ordinarily use to describe a man, but in Robin's case it's always been the most accurate. I realize people age, of course. But this goes beyond that. He really looks bad here. An unflattering angle, perhaps might be contributing. And distortion from the lens...?
It is a bad angle, too close up, probably also bad lighting, the other current pics may have also been retouched, and the other videos could have been soft filtered, no, I'm not hating, but it's true, they do that kind of stuff.
He doesn't look bad, it is for the most part the angle, first rule for taking videos, is to never shoot looking up someones face, the end result will NEVER be flattering lol
You've got a valid point,dude-Robin was thin back in the day with a well-angular face.However it's all a part of the aging process,genetics and life-style.
Many people simply fill out,especially in the neck and chin areas as they age. In your defense,he probably could lose some weight (me included!)but again,a lot of it is down to our genetics. Keep rockin'!
I'm just thankful that Cheap Trick is a band who's still got it together and keeps rocking. Now, if all the surviving members of the Move would take note and reunite for at least another killer album, I'd be one happy camper!

i know peopel get old ... BUT ... people who age this bad when they're not even that old says a lot about their lifestyle ... drugs, etc............ it's a fact! what a shame.
stop playing the farking Flame, for crying out loud. This song is a shitty representation of the band. Dig a little deeper like say "Just Got Back," or "Downed." So what if the masses have not heard em before. All the more reason to play them so as to turn the massses onto the bands quality and not their crap.
Yeah,I heard from a close friend to the band (from Rockford!) that their record company really pressured Cheap Trick to use outside songwriters as they weren't having hit-success as they did till the early-mid 80's. Cheap Trick hated going along with it but had little choice in the matter.
I saw the first of the two nights that Cheap Trick did Sgt Pepper's last year. Cheap Trick never looked or sounded better. Truly a band that gets better with age. Long may CT rock!!
What is the name of the song in the begining?
