Hirsute heroes
« 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.

Zappa's stache is the coolest ever.




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.

but the music sucks because the keyboards don't have the cold/mechanical sound they had but a wannabe techno sound that it's pathetic for Rammstein standars.

Seriously. Zappa > every other facial hair-having musician. Ever.

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

Dudes, Shavo from System of a Down. His goatee is like, two feet long.
Serj from the same band (singer) has a pretty funky goatee as well.

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.

A slightly modified photo but the beard is all real. WOAH people, WOAH.

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.

If we're talking moustaches, there is nothing to beat Lemmy Kilminster:



In the silly facial hair stakes, metal-wise it's all about Hellhammer:


And Martin Walkier:


Martin is the one without boobs.

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.

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!
