I know ultimately how The Beach Boys look is unimportant, but I think the reason that Brian's looks have been alarming as of late is I think that most of us thought the "old Brian" look was pretty much set since like 1993. Like, he's kinda looked basically the same from then 'til around the reunion. By what I mean by "old Brian", I'd say we have

1961 to 1965ish: young Brian
Later 1965 through 1973ish: more mature look, weight flucuations
1974ish through 1983: overweight Brian, with the major weight loss in the middle which was gained back
Later 1983 through 1992: "middle aged" Brian, actually looked like a skinny version of his Pet Sounds self at Live Aid. Had a nice classy look on the cover of his debut solo album, looked almost kinda Lindsey Buckingham-esque in some photos
Early to mid '90s through 2012ish: "old man" Brian, age is catching up, keeps the weight on more, dresses more like an old man, gray hair, etc

And I think we figured that was how Brian would look from then on. So it's weird to see him look even older now. We'd grown accustomed to his looks, and it's just weird to us. Just as I've grown accustomed to how Paul McCartney looks. He's 71 (almost 72 as well) and he obviously looks much older even compared to his late '80s/early '90s stuff. But he's kept that same look, and even though his skin is much more wrinkled and saggy, it's not as alarming. He gives off a youthful vibe still too, as does Mick Jagger, who even though he looks really wrinkly and aged, stayed well in shape and gives off a youthful vibe. Even "modern" Bob Dylan, with his little moustache has his slender figure and even though he's aged a lot too, looks good. And Daltrey and Townshend from The Who, they look great too.

The thing about Brian too, that although at times he comes off as "childlike" he really doesn't have a lot of that youthfulness thing anymore. Can that be chalked up to past drug use? Maybe. I personally think it's more what Landy did to him, which gives him a kind of wretched, stiff, sorry to say it but "disabled" kinda look. It bums me out to see him like this, but regardless, I hope he's feeling ok and making some good music. I just wish it wasn't the case that we have to "explain" his situation to people when he's on TV and whatnot.

McCartney doesn't look like he's at death's door at all.  He looks, acts, and sings great for his age.

Paul doesn't look any better than Brian

With Paul, people are probably fooled by all that brown hair. Kudos to Brian for aging naturally.

I think we're deluding ourselves a bit. Fighting over who looks older doesn't prove anything about their music or when they'll die.

Sometimes I feel very sad...

Sorry but that photo is a little difficult to look at.

The photo actually reminds me of my uncle Horst who is just a little older.

Yep, Brian has had at least one face lift. Paul hasn't.

Plus, Brian has had his teeth fixed. When was that, the 90's or 2,000's?

Brian has to sit down at the piano all the time and has a bad back. Paul doesn't. The only time Paul sits down during a performance is near the end of the show for a couple of numbers on the piano. The rest of the time he's got a Bass slung over his shoulder standing up singing into a microphone for more than 2 hours.

Brian's voice is damaged/not what it use to be. Paul's voice sounds pretty much the same as he did in Wings/Beatle days - can even still hit the high notes.

Brian has limited energy on stage and has attention span issues. Paul doesn't.

Brian continues to have weight issues. Paul doesn't.

Paul communicates clearly without slurring his words and giving yes/no answers during interviews. Brian doesn't.

Brian needs a teleprompter to read all the lyrics to his own songs. To my knowledge, Paul doesn't, or if he does, uses it sparingly.

Brian is brain damaged from drugs.  Paul survived the acid trips, coke, heroin and hash.

I, I love the colorful clothes she wears, and she's already working on my brain. I only looked in her eyes, but I picked up something I just can't explain. I, I bet I know what she’s like, and I can feel how right she’d be for me. It’s weird how she comes in so strong, and I wonder what she’s picking up from me. I hope it’s good, good, good, good vibrations, yeah!!

If we take 88 as the turning point and discount 2012, has Brian now been a solo artist for longer than he was a Beach Boy?

Nobody's criticizing Brian, son.  Just stating fact.  He still has issues and always will, and it will continue to be exacerbated with age. He hasn't aged naturally (or gracefully) like somebody above said. But that's expected!  Brian's a survivor.  He's been to Hell and back and is still alive to tell about it.  And yes - we're very lucky he's still around and still writing new stuff for the fans and touring, when all a LOT of people like him would do is retire to their Beverly Hills home with the wife, kids, and dogs! And Phil Spector records.

I hope brian's new album is better than mccartney's album 'new'. That was a serious disappointment. Take all the time you need Brian!
