Mother nature is a ****ing bitch!

[Kayman]

I just can't do it Kayman, I can't be that guy who was known for his awesome thick messy hair, to being 'the bald guy'. 'Oh have you seen X, he's lost all his hair', 'but he has awesome hair!'

I just can't bare it, I'm a guitar player!!! How am I meant to be a guitar god with a bald head!!! My hair was something that I was so proud of, it was something that I actually liked about myself, something that defined my appearance.

Better to be the guitar player with the bald head than the one with the wispy thin hair no? Satriani,Nick Oliveri, Kerry King, Billy Corgan, Moby, Michael Stipe, Fred Durst all baldies, all good musicians with plenty of fans (maybe not Fred Durst lol). Yes the stereotypical rock star has the long locks but if its not happening its not happening, so may as well try and rock the bald musician look no? Better than being the "wispy" guitarist, or the "balding" guitarist. Just my two cents, I used to play the bass all through my twenties, unfortunately don't really get the time to do it now and the shaved head never really impeded my image or the bands image. I have a friend who still plays in a band and he's a complete slick norwood seven at age 34, he's a guitarist in a metal band and looks the part.

And don't forget to include the Metal God, Mr. Rob Halford in that list, hehe!

Thanks Aames, good advice, best of luck.

Baldness works in metal, but rock/blues/soul -which is what I play- not so much...
