Elvis would be almost 90.. think they need to crank the age a little.

this would be Elvis in the year 2000, not 2024

>this would be Elvis in the year 2000, not 2024 “Musicians if they were still alive today” Today is 2024, not 2000. WDYM?

OP commented elsewhere that the prompts are variations of “X at 75 years old”

With his diet and lifestyle he wouldn’t have made it passed the 2000s

Well, he didn’t

Dead you say? I didn’t even know he was sick

Guys use the spoilers tag if you’re going to drop spoilers like this!

I was imagining him appearing nightly on Fox News segments when I saw that pic

Prince wouldn’t have aged a bit 😉

He wouldn’t have allowed himself to show any wrinkles! Lol

THIS! Prince always looked amazing

You both read my mind before even read this post.

Game, blouses

Lmao 🤣

[pancakes?](https://m.facebook.com/ComedyCentral/videos/prince-serves-pancakes-chappelles-show/403054277074991/)

Little Richard looked pretty fantastic in 1997 at 65. Prince would have aged fine.

Agreed!

AI did Prince dirty!

As if he’d ever have those bags under his eyes.

And Prince’s hair would be laid !

And still would be able to ball Rip Prince and Charlie Murphy

If you ever want a fun rabbit hole to go down, google Prince stories. Sooo many people have these incredible larger than life stories about him.

Came here to say this 😂

Chester seems older than expected and Kurt Cobain, younger than expected.

Chris also looks too old, but still pretty nice results.

Chris was born in 1964, meaning he'd be almost 60 now. We're all getting old.

He still looks too old in my opinion, he looks late 60s in this not late 50s.

Rock and roll will do that to you

And Elvis only looks 75, he’s the same birth year as my grandpa and my grandpa looks like a fossil compared to this AI Elvis. Chester looks 60+ and in reality he would have been mid-40s by now. The most convincing one is Chris Cornell by far

My first impression was that overall, the likenesses were incredible, but yeah the aging seemed debatable with most imo. My favourite was actually Elvis, because it frickin rocked with the data draw - warts n all; while I could imagine it *if* he merely had a huge health scare in '77, and did a 180° on his life

Thought Elvis was Johnny Cash for a quick second

Money makes people look younger though. Chester looks way too old though

The pictures of Chris and Layne made me sad somehow.

Me too, them and Chester. When I was making these I started listening to their music. Seems hard to believe so many people from that era are gone.

Especially with Chester and Chris passing away in the same year.

Thank you for making the one of Layne

The way Layne died is heartbreaking. Silently wasting away alone, in a city that loved and adored him.

I think Layne's addiction to drugs was a losing fight and it's a brutal one.

Layne broke my heart. Miss that guy. Just busted through the whole Jar of Flies album last night.

The picture of Kurt made me sad.

Same. The smile.

Chris Cornell looks like Dave Grohl Easy E looks like Morgan Freeman

Came here to find the Morgan Freeman comment

Chester looks like bono

Buddy looks like Bruce Springsteen

Prompts are variations of: *portrait photograph of Bob Marley age 75 years old, gray hair, highly detailed, 200mm lens, --ar 2:3* Edit - Part 2 is here: [https://www.reddit.com/r/midjourney/comments/190mjx9/musicians\_if\_they\_were\_still\_alive\_today\_part\_2/](https://www.reddit.com/r/midjourney/comments/190mjx9/musicians_if_they_were_still_alive_today_part_2/)

John Lennon and George Harrison? It would be cool to see a what if for the Beatles

Jeff Buckley needs a mention.

Yes!

Chester wouldn't be that old 😅

Yeah, Chris and him died 6 and a half years ago, not 20.

Some of these make me sad.

Same here. 😔

BIG sad!

the Kurt one made me smile

Yeah, Kurt looks like he is sitting on his porch, looking out over his land, and appreciating how content he has become with his life. Sort of like seeing him in an alternate reality where things turned out different. Makes me happy and sad at the same time.

It was nice to see a picture of Jimi Hendrix both older and happy; I hope he would've found that peace if he'd lived.

That Layne Stanley hit me in the feels.b

Me too. The tragedy of his talent and his addiction. He died at 34.

I seriously doubt Freddie Mercury would look like that. He was a very fashion conscious man who changed his style in accordance with the times (long hair 70s, macho look 80s ect) and had already shaved his iconic mustache a year or so before his death once that style started to go out of fashion. I'm sure he'd have carried on evolving his style as he aged and as trends came and went. An early 2000s version of Freddie could've looked horrendous though.

He looks a little bit like the Soup Nazi

No Nick Drake? Also, Old Eazy-E looks like Morgan Freeman.

You say Nick Drake like he was world famous mega cultural icon

No John Lennon is the real surprise...

Im always glad I got to see Soundgarden lives a handfull of times, Cornell was a legend.

I love how Kurt looks happy

Me too. It made me happy and sad at the same time

Eazy-E looks more like Morgan Freeman.

Man Elvis looks as wrinkly as Keith Morrison from dateline

Freddie looks adorable as an old man

Chester died a few years ago not decades ago.

Bro you on crack if you think E would look that old today

I know, they have him looking like he's 78, lol.

Kurt and Layne ❤️

Kurt and Freddie drove tears into my eyes.

Yeah, my childhood musical heros.

Chester and Chris would look pretty much the same as when they left us. It’s been less than seven years.

This is one of the best uses of AI so far on these subs

absolutely. I wonder how closely AI can predict what living celebrities look like now based on their younger photos

That’ll be a fun thing to try. When one of us is bored and actually has free time

Please give Chris his blue eyes back.

For sure - this guy looks nothing like Chris to me

That can’t be true at all. Chester would not look like that at all.

If you do a part 2, can I request Tu-pac?

Layne hit the hardest.

Loved these! Kurt Cobain looked great

Where Michael ?

What he’d have looked like is anyone’s guess

Is it? I don't know; I find it Black or White

I can only imagine how bad his nose would be now if he had lived

Tried Michael but it seems MJ remembers him from the Jackson 5, not after all the plastic surgery.

Where’s Amy?

And Janis. And Whitney, Selena, mama Cass, Aliyah, Karen carpenter …

Prince lived wayyyyy longer then anybody else. He almost hit 60! Elvis was like 45.

This is cool! I wanna see old Tupac and biggie.

Do Micheal Jackson

Prince looks like Tim Curry

Chris Cornell would not look like that. He would have barely aged.

Ahh Kurt Cobain... Still so gorgeous

Some of these are too old looking. Cheater Bennington and Chris Cornell wouldn't have changed much.

The 4th one looks just like Buddy Holly

Nailed Bob’s smile. I feel like the world would be better off if he was still around

Chris Cornell looks like Kirk Hammet.

Midjourney is getting out of control, super cool stuff

Missed opportunity to use Dave Chappelle’s photo

Chester looks a bit like Gary Oldman 😂

Eazy E is like Morgan Freeman.

Mercury looks like Dan Severn

Snubbing pac is criminal

Wow

Chris Cornell looks like Kirk Hammett

Would like to see Scotty Weiland, Ronnie Van Zant and SRV

Chester hit me in the feels. He was smiling in his last photo taken. He still had so much left in him.

Just wonderful. What else can I say!

AI makes every black person Morgan Freeman.

Freddy looks like he should be selling rugs in Istanbul.

Chester and Kurt did it for me. 🥲

Wait prince fucking died!?

Easy E looks like Morgan freeman

I thought for sure Jim Morrison would have been in there

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.

Good job little bot

Tupac

Where is Bowie, and I thought Buddy Holley was Elvis Costello (I thought, “how did I not hear that?!?)

No John Lennon?

Reddit hates Lennon with a seething rage.

Because Jahn beet the wif

Uh… Where Biggie? Where Pac?

Kurt literally looks like current CM Punk with long hair...

This will never not seem tacky.

I dunno, I really like it. Makes me feel sad for what we lost.

cool! Elvis is the only one that doesnt look like him. Im (literally i think) his biggest fan on spotify (.0005% or something), id love to see more pics of him in any context. ive been trying to get bing image creator to make casper and the lgbtq+ friendly ghosts except elvis instead of casper, but i can't get it to consistently make the ghost sheets correctly. i'll probably end up signing up for midjourney but i'm afraid i will waste too much time with it, it's so fun. the trial doesn't work on discord.

The Kurt one made me stop and think about life

It always amazes me how young Buddy Holly was. He died at 22 years old, that‘s almost still a kid.

Chris Cornell looks the same as he did

Elvis, Prince and Freddie would have had tons of cosmetic work done and probably look closer to Donatella Versace

Burt kokian

Within less then a year, almost all ai generated images have become so boring. It's like watching jurassic park1 again . Digital has no longivity. I don't mean your efforts are in vain, I've seen some interesting info graphics using ai gen, it serves a purpose and the visuals accurately corrospond to the topic.

Half these guys are still alive

Wait so Elvis would have turned black?

Kurt looks exactly like Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

Impressive!

Was not expecting the feels this early in the day.

They would have never made it to be alive this long.

I'll be having nightmares with Elvis 👌🏽

Where's my man Mozart and also where's Bach? This list is bs

No Mj?

Oh how much I miss Prince

Chester :(

Benny Goodman？

Freddie looking good for 78.

Would’ve loved to see Bon scott

Most of them would look way, way older.

Awh thiywas really sad but also nice. Would love to see a joey Jordison. Even the only recently died so probably wouldn't have changed much...

OH! Do me next!! :D

This almost made me cry

Where is Michael Jackson?

Chester and Chris looks much more older than I expected. It's crazy to think that It's been almost 7 years since they have passed.

Freddie looks like my uncle, my uncle on the other hand sings like Tom Waits in a blender.

Elvis is alive though

Chris Cornell would be Gary Oldman?

What, no Michael Jackson? Lol

So John Lennon and Michael Jackson are still between us huh? Always knew

No Tupac?!

Yea the looks on some of these are way off on reality. Bob Marly would be 80 something. No way he would look that good. Same for Elvis

This post hurt my heart. Thanks for sharing

Johnny Cash ain't lookin to flash

The Eaz be looking waaaaaay too old

What about MJ?

Elvis looking like old Bruce Campbell

Elvis turned into Father Jack Hackett

Easy E looks like Morgan Freeman.

Was not expecting layne staley. Looks awesome!

It would be nice to see women here

Jimmy Hendrix would be nowhere near as deified as he is now since he died young at the peak of rock music. There, I said it! P.S. Same thing goes with Kurt Cobain. (Height of Grunge/Gen X)

What was your prompt?

Who are the specific musicians?

The one of Layne looks like Tim Finn.

TIL: Jimmy Hendrix is Morgan Freeman.

Bobs dreads would be longer and Kurt would look older

Eazy E looks like Morgan Freeman dressing up as Eazy E for Halloween

i like buddy hollys :,)

The Elvis picture, was weird

Every time I see a would still be living Freddy Mercury image I want to cry. T\_T But here, it looks like an aged Davie504.

Why does Prince look like Cleveland Brown?

Nice, can you do Paul McCartney?

Elvis looking like Ricky from trailer park boys

Janis Joplin ? These are wonderful
