Two of them were new to me

2 of my all time favorite photos are from the Mirage era. The photo with them on top of the building. However I prefer the one in the Rolling Stone article that is a bit different than this one here. I dont like Stevie's stare and it looks like Mick has to hold her up. I also LOVE the shadow silhouette used in the Mirage show. That is the coolest thing ever. I always wanted it painted on my bedroom wall.

I dont like the Tusk photo shoots. They are so wasted and dont even care they are doing photo shoots. They are so wasted. They are wasted in Mirage shoots too but at least the early 80s hit and they cleaned up a bit

Which photo is the one you mention where it looks like Mick is holding her up?

I don’t think they look wasted in any of the pictures, with the exception of the candid one with Stevie. Just because we know they did drugs, especially back then, doesn’t mean they were always wasted. When you say they don’t even care, I see as a more carefree attitude- for example, the Tusk photos in the album show John swinging Stevie, and they’re having a little fun.

Who is that guy?

if you've ever watched any of the behind-the-scenes footage of the photo shoots for Tusk, they are ABSOLUTELY wasted.

That's Neil Preston, their photographer.

The rooftop photo. I prefer the Rolling Stone one where Chris and Lindsey have reversed positions. I did not say they looked wasted in THESE photos. I said I did not like the Tusk ones because of how wasted they were. However 1982 was probably the druggiest they all were. Post Mirage Chris and Lindsey got clean. Stevie went to the abyss. John was stoned drunk on the Hold Me set. Their MTV promo in 1982 Lindsey hiding his eyes behind sunglasses and Chris not taking any of it serious. Their US Festival performance was so impacted by their heavy use of controlled substances. Stevie could not even show up with the band to be interviewed by Rolling Stone. My point was because the early 80s preppy scene hit, they were cleaned up (i.e. visually, not the drug reference). They looked better wasted in the glam 80s compared to the hippy 70s.
