Title: Hirsute heroes
Post by: Gryff on 24 Jan 2006, 19:28: Who has (had) the best facial hair in rock n roll? Who is the furriest funster? Who totes the most tremendous 'tache? Who's beard is the beefiest? Who has the sexiest sideburns?

I will start with a band I saw on Friday: once known for their unshaveness, now only the drummer's dedication to face fur stays strong. However, he seems to have taken it upon himself to grow enough beard to make up for the rest of his band-mates' hairless chins.

The Kings of Leon.

PS: ZZ Top is way too obvious.

Also, even though he didn't play rock and roll, Karl Marx's beard is so badas that if he did rock out, he would win.

Well, except for John Petrucci, but his facial hair isn't particularly distinctive.

Serj from the same band (singer) has a pretty funky goatee as well.

Post by: Rizzo on 25 Jan 2006, 00:44: Try and tell me Frank Zappa doesn't look like Billy Connolly.
Billy definately has one of the best beards in music (Yes, he is a musician, he plays the music for most of his TV shows. Rather good at banjo actually).

Or possibly Edward Gains from local band The Demi Whores. That's a real beard.

The "x" in Marx stands for sex.

Man I could sew a nice bedside rug with those hair.

Also, this, who used to pull buses with his hair in Montreal. And it's not a cane he's holding, that's hair. Hard as rock hair.

I used to think beards were horrible (except in the context of vikings) but know I know they're all amazingly cool.

Post by: FruitKat on 29 Jan 2006, 16:31: I think Sam Beams beard is pretty cool, but that may be just because I think HE is pretty cool. Not sure.

Also, I saw the Demiwhores once, they were terrible.
Title: Hirsute heroes
Post by: Gryff on 29 Jan 2006, 21:25: Starlight, I agree with you on all counts. Sam Beam has a great beard, he is totally awesome, and the Demiwhores are shithouse.

Hooray for likemindedness!
