GeminiRising79 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Alex has always been my favorite and I hated seeing him supersize like he did over the last 10 years or so. After seeing this new picture I wonder if he's been on a serious weight reduction program. Of course it helps to wear black and use angles, but it seems he really has come down.http://www.gibson.com/Files/aaFeaturesImages2010/alex-lifeson_by_andrew-macnaughton.jpg I'd love to know where he got his shoes!

trenken Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Definitely lost weight. Looks older than his age in the face, but nothing wrong with that though. Could be a bad shot or lighting enhancing the features. The shoes look like something you could find at Clark's in the $200 range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babycat Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I think he has lost some weight there. I remember about a decade back that he had rather broad shoulders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USB Connector Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Here's a comparisson of Lifeson on tour in the last decade: Vapor Trails: http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1108/1474227774_56406118d5.jpg R30: http://s4.hubimg.com/u/2978387_f520.jpg Snakes and Arrows: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3215/2705721844_b53cff07fa.jpg Time Machine: http://melodicrockconcerts.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/IMG_3662.jpg Now: http://www.gibson.com/Files/aaFeaturesImages2010/alex-lifeson_by_andrew-macnaughton.jpg Based on the fact that this is an angle shot and that he's wearing black, I'm not too sure that he has lost much when comparing to the last two pictures. I'd say he lost a few pounds, but not a whole lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeminiRising79 Posted February 19, 2011 Author Share Posted February 19, 2011 Thanks for the montage, usb. There are a lot more unflattering photos than those. Ive seen him look like he's bursting at the seams. Very unLerxst-like. When u get fat enough, where you start to resemble a pig, you really lose your characteristic look. I hope he keeps it off.

ShaniaFanAlso Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Reani, Gemini, You people need to get a f***ing life. Stop hating on people for their size. People come in different sizes and shapes. Go get a hobby or something or at least shut the f**k up about stupid topics like this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's just your own off-the-scale interpretation. Btw, please tell us your height and weight for further analysis and discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe they were hating on Alex for it at all. It is a stupid thing to discuss though because I don't get how it affects anyting with the band and their music if he's a few pounds lighter or heavier. When people get older they put on some weight. It's not the person's fault, it's just nature. He's been in good enough shape to still go out on tour and that's all that matters in the end. Alex isn't training for a career in the UFC, so his weight doesn't matter to me. As long as he doesn't blow up to like 300 pounds I don't see the issue.

Recalling some of your other posts, Gemini, I wonder whether "lipo" is really the kind of "suction" that you're interested in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

summer_sky Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 If that is truly a recent photo of Alex, I think he is looking too lean. I rather enjoy a man with a build that you can grab onto in windy weather and know that you'll be able to remain grounded. If ya ask me, Alex was lookin' real good @ Red Rocks in August 2010 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v51/summer_sky/RUSH/RushatRedRocks2010407.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
