I was looking at a site earlier this week, one where the photos were displayed in such a way it was easy to see how Mikey, Gerard, Ray, Frank and Bob have changed visibly over the years. I decided the Mikey photos would make a fun post for Mikeyway_daily. Then once I pulled that together I decided to do the others, too.

It's in no means comprehensive, looks are missing for them all. But I still look and just think, man, look how you've changed.





















Not many pictures of Bob to pick from, sadly.

Ray is the most constant. <333

He really is.

He got me into a muddle when uploading because his look has remained so similar over the years.

I'm just a mess of feelings after looking at this. Sure, it's missing some of the pics from the guys' bb!band era (that's where you'd find the most contrast for Ray). Still, it's pretty kicky to see the looks and being able to identify which era is which based on their styles. OH, BAND!

IMHO, Frank and Gerard are neck-and-neck as to who's been the most chameleon-like. *g*

This is so great! I could analyze these pictures for a long time! Thanks for posting bb! <3

It's a shame they had no photos from the really early days, as those are always great to look at. I guess when they were that new the magazines wouldn't have been sitting up and taking notice.

Seeing Frank with so much bare skin is weird!

You're welcome!

It's a shame they didn't have all the looks but there's enough for some dedicated staring :)

Boys!!!!

When you compare him to the others it's really strange how Ray manages to look exactly the same all through the years. It's like he's immune to the changes the rest of the band goes through :-)

So many great pictures of them.

Yeah, Ray's look hardly changes at all. I guess he found what worked for him and decided to stick with it.

How are you feeling today? A little better I hope.

Unfortunately not :-( I'm just hoping it won't get even worse over the weekend because the doctor's office was less than helpful today. They didn't call me back until late in the afternoon and then only told me to call them again on Monday to get an x-ray appointment because "they can't do anything until they know it really is sinusitis". Apparently the doctor's examination I'd the week before last doesn't count or something. And I've no idea why they couldn't have made that appointment today, the nurse that called me refused to answer that question. She was very unhelpful and standoffish and made me feel like she suspected me of faking being ill just so I could get more antibiotics - who on earth fakes to be sick to get ANTIBIOTICS?!! - and it was all very frustrating.

time travel photos of joy :)

[turps]

They really are :D

[turps]

That is such an unbelievable attitude, and not helpful at all when you're already feeling so ill.

Thinking you're wanting more antibiotics just because is all kinds of ridiculous, what do they want you to do, just sit and keep suffering? I'm really angry on your behalf.

Hee! I'm really wondering what happened that lead to Gerard showing MOAR skin while Frank showed LESS as the years went on. Could it be that both of them baring too much skin at once will cause reality to collapse into itself????

Seeing how I'm an eternal optimist, I'm hoping that Frank will eventually understand that there's nothing wrong with wearing less layers while onstage. \o?

(And I'm not only saying that due to ulterior or shallow reasons, mind you. He's been wearing way too much clothing in locales that have high temps. The last thing I want him to have is heat stroke. *hides ALL of Frank's clothing*)

[turps]

Imagine if they all showed skin at once. It would be amazing!

There was an interesting discussion going on about Frank and his layers on one of my last posts over at LJ. Talk about how he doesn't need to show off so much skin now he's settled into himself, but also how it may have to do with dropping so much weight so fast. Something that had me nodding as I experienced that myself, how your internal temperature gets messed up.
