The last time I saw Dennis, he looked like this. I found this online tonight.  |

Those eyes say so much about where he was at that time...

Dennis looked like he'd just had a premonition that one day John Stamos will be covering his songs.

Clearly, this photo portrays the effects of being in the same band as Myke Luhv for an excessive amount of time.  |

It’s like he hired a fashion consultant and told her to make him look “punchable.”

Pay no attention to Mr. oldsurferdude. He secretly has a crush on the Lovester and is too proud to admit it.  |

That's a pretty haunting photo. Keep looking at his eyes. It's like they're not even focused.

There is certainly plenty of information that tells us Dennis was in a bad place in these later years in particular. But I don’t think much can be read into that particular photo. Maybe he was just thinking about what he wanted to eat for lunch. I’ve seen photos of people looking bored or spacing out, and I don’t immediately just interpret that photo based on all the other ills of their life. I’ve seen photos and footage of Dennis looking worse than that. I can’t just say “oh, he looks okay.” But to me, that photo isn’t one of those shocker photos spelling the end.

Well, I am not very shocked by his eyes. But look at his mouth, especially the part between nose and mouth. It's swollen like hell.
And he really looks like he's in his mid to late 50s.

Don't forget his face was crushed by that Stan and Rocky beating , not to mention all the other fights and car accidents. His mouth was totaled. Should have kept the beard.

I'm not enthusiastic in general about commenting on such a photo. But what strikes me most are the thin lips. Compare:  |

The fact that Dennis was so good looking up into his early 30's really makes the roughness of his last few years even more blatant.

The question is, did Brian look better in 1966 then Dennis did in 1983?

In all the photos i've seen of Dennis from around 1981 to 1983, his entire facial structure looked different. It looks like his jaw had been dislocated. I wonder if Stan and Rocky did more damage that what has been made public. |

If Carl has "So Tough," Dennis has "So Sad," what would Brian have? "So Crazy"?  |

I think Dennis looks 'so sad' because he's been keeping tabs on the other thread about Stamos' 'Forever'.

Yep. Brian through 1972-73 looked way better then Dennis in 1981-3. |

What?! He hasn't turned 40 at the time... He has the classic face of a drug addict with too much heroine. Sad sad sad... But you people read too much into pictures... |
