Hair n' metal

[uncle_sprinter]

I don't think you need long hair to be metal. But some people do.

Your thoughts?

My thoughts?
Instead of thinking about hair(which actually is not thinking), make music.
Chicks think(which actually is not thinking) about hair, shoes, Prada etc.
Guys have to make music to make money to buy them those things

Nope, I have 8 fingers in my left hand, you know, that's the guitarists' dream

Metal to me is about music not the image, in the cases that matter. If you want to go for a certain image personally that's fine but you shouldn't have to subscribe to a look or a philosophy to play music that you connect with.

Agreed but it's an utopia unless you don't want to make money with music.
Music as a product, needs an image, attitudes and stuff, all genres have their own images, clothes, hairs, attitudes etc, never saw a reaggae band wearing leather and skulls and a metal band dressed up like new kids on the block
Even not choosing an image is actually choosing an image

it's a delicate balance. you also have to have an edgy name.

hair metal is about hair
true metal is about not worrying about cosmetic things like hair

 

[Brian D]

I don't really think anybody really cares...although most metal does have a certain scene of people which they must fill out the look, in order to attract a regular following.

There's tons of breakers to the stereotype, but just keep in mind you won't look very metal on stage with surfer dude flow, no matter how brutal you are.

Your haircut and dress sense shouldn't in any way be interconnected with music. There are plenty of metal band members who have had or have short hair. People breaking the mold of long hair-only include Muhammed Suicmez, Brendon Small, Trym Torson, Josh Middleton etc etc. There are probably many more I'm missing out. Metal to me is more about your philosophy and outlook not to mention the music you make.

 

[TRENCHLORD]

If you don't have long hair, then you ain't metal

tell this to Kerry King
