To have not known Keith Richards once looked like this?

I saw the Stones in concert over the weekend - amazing show - and only just realised they're on Instagram.

So I started following them and spotted this shot of Keith, aged 29 in 1972 and bloody hell! He was a bit of all right wasn't he? Who'd have guessed??

I love the Stones (except Bill, obviously) but in terms of eye candy they're hardly A-ha, even when they were in their twenties.

I think Mick was really pretty.

Lots of live '60s Stones on YT :) e.g.

Early Stones songs are best Stones songs 😆

Ooh you're right @BocaChica. for example. The way young Mick looks at the camera, yep, I probably would've!

Didn't mean to post 2 videos there, I meant the colour one

He's still sexy. The coolest man on the planet.

I remember as a teenager in the 90s, my dad showed me before and after pictures of Keith Richards warning me that would be what happened if I did drugs

IcedPurple · 28/06/2022 20:46

In some pictures, Mick and Bianca looked almost like twins.

Have a look at pics of Ozzie Osbourne in his younger days. Now, that's a treat.

Have a look at pics of Sharon in her younger days. She's morphed into a completely different person.

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 28/06/2022 20:49

Young Ozzie.

And Jade Jagger is more or less a perfect genetic mashup of the two of them. Bianca is still a stunning woman and it's interesting that she kept Mick's surname. No doubt because it's instantly recognisable!

It's young Rod Stewart for me. In old old videos he's got that arrogant, couldn't care less demeanour as well. I wonder how he would have felt about being a bit Daniel O Donnell esque now?

Yes, especially as Latin American women don't usually take their husband's surname at all.

Her real name is Blanca, not Bianca, so seems she knows the value of a catchy name!

Agree that she is still gorgeous, and has done a lot of campaigning for several causes over the years. Few would have thought of her that way when she was a model and socialite back in the 70s.

I don't think there is anyone more attractive than the young David Gilmour.
Saw an interview in his younger days and so English and modest with it.

Absolutely gorgeous he was.

CathyorClaire · 28/06/2022 21:05

Personally I prefer the young Mick but to have Captain Jack Sparrow modelled on you probably trumps all pretenders.

midsomermurderess · 28/06/2022 21:07

He was very handsome. He and Anita Pallenberg, what a couple. Dreadful teeth though, as a young man.

MsRinky · 28/06/2022 21:12

My husband got told he looked like a young David Gilmour recently, by a very nice old dude in his 70s. Not sure whether he was more envious of his full head of hair or his VW campervan, but he looked proper wistful about it :)

I'll say.

Mick Jagger was very attractive I agree

Ladywiddio · 28/06/2022 21:18

I am old,I fancied Brian Jones from the Stones back in the day,was devastated when he drowned in mysterious circumstances.

Just looked at some photos of him,my taste in men has changed!!

After last weekend's concert I would debate your use of "was" there!

It was always Robert Plant for me

Keith really needs to donate his body to medical science so the next generation can work out how his liver and lungs are still going.
Didnt he fall out of a palm tree and nearly die a few years ago also? Add his skull and brain into that donation.
We'll all be long gone before him 😁

Is it time to bust out ‘the’ photo of a young Bruce Springsteen..?
