Ooh, is this going to turn into a thread filled with pictures of fit rock stars?

Wheelbarrowracer · 19/07/2026 11:01

Because if it is, I give you Evan Dando.

I agree i think its highly unlikrly that either Axl Rose or JBJ will be on mumsnet 😂

Imagine both of them reading this thread right now and being massively pissed at each other's ex-groupies

Axl then! But now older and looking back at the photos jbj. Axl had a very raw sexy thang going on… plus was a massive fan in the day.

I noticed that the really rugged, "phwoar" types in their twenties often seem to age the worst. Fast forward twenty or thirty years and they've somehow acquired an odd old auntie face. I do wonder whether that's more lifestyle than genetics.
And the nerds just keep getting sexier and sexier with age. The pretty boy brigade, like Bon Jovi, seem to fall somewhere in the middle.

I certainly hope so.

Here’s Extreme’s Nuno Bettencourt. You’re welcome.

God forbid women should be allowed to have fun

I'm all for a bit of fun. But this is just silly.

Then this is not the thread for you

Ironfloor269 · 19/07/2026 11:51

Gosh, they were both so feminine.

What's your definition of feminine here? A very hairy chest does not suggest femininity to me.

I get what the poster means. Facially JBJ does have a slightly 'feminine' look. Someone described him and the young Diane Lane as looking like a very attractive lesbian couple. And now I can't unsee it.

You do realise this discussion isn’t for their benefit, surely? This thread is for our enjoyment, not theirs.

Are straight women not allowed to enjoy looking at / thinking about men we find sexually attractive? Why do we have to deny ourselves that pleasure?

I’m glad you enjoy gardening but it doesn’t make you morally or intellectually superior to someone who enjoys whiling away five minutes on looking at attractive men with no shirts on. If you don’t get any pleasure from physically attractive men, that’s completely fine, but no need to try to guilt-trip other women about it. We’re allowed to experience attraction. It’s a normal human impulse.

I also did some gardening yesterday. Then I went for a run. Then I relaxed with a book. Then I whiled away a happy few minutes reminiscing with a friend via WhatsApp before the football about a French footballer we both fancied the pants off in the 90s. It was a pleasant interlude in my day.

Cantona? 😍

Bon jovi, without a doubt.

AliceNotInChains · 19/07/2026 13:36

metalmum15 · 19/07/2026 09:36

I find him more attractive now than when he was younger

Yeah me too! He’s aged very well compared to Axl Rose

spiderlight · 19/07/2026 13:37

Jon Bon Jovi, but he was a distant second to Joe Elliott from Def Leppard.

Joe Elliot appeared to have a huge Willy. In one of their videos you really can’t focus on anything else!

The stupid faux American accents irritated me with DL

Neither . Both make me think of

Duff McKagan was the best looking member of GnR. I think there needs to be a return to men looking like this! (said in lighthearted fun before anyone jumps on me)

Duff was a god!! Him and his wife are my fave celeb couple!

Ahh! Dah-veed! He was so very chaud and boy did he know it!

He had a thing for going around sans chemise and I don't recall a single person woman complaining.

Axl Rose. His face, prior to the plastic surgery, was classically beautiful.

BauhausOfEliott · 19/07/2026 17:57

x2boys · 18/07/2026 18:47

I think hes been with his wife f.since high school?

He has, but I’m pretty sure he has also admitted that the reason their marriage endured was partly because she tolerated him having one night stands on tour when he was younger.

Just insanely hot and tremendously charming. And he was also an INCREDIBLE footballer, one of the most naturally talented players I’ve ever seen, certainly when I’ve actually been there at the game.
