old rock stars don't go bald?

[look 171]

I don't know his name as Procol is way before my time, but I like Whiter Shade Of Pale. That's aint no fake hair and he's has to be in his 70s. He looks good with a full head of hair. I am sure make up has something to do with the youthful look unlike grandpa Mike, Keef and Ronie. Those guys partied too hard and look like they were left out in the sun for too damn long

"looks like real hair"
It is real. Just transplanted from some other part of the body.

Itchy head all the time?

Mick Taylor on guitar in the 20-teens - looks like a few too many kidney pies and bangers and not enough road time!

Guitar still sounds pretty good still, though.

Bald Is Beautiful! 10 Follicle-Challenged Rock Stars

You don’t need Bon Jovi hair to rock out. In fact, you don’t need any hair. Here are some amazing musicians who have managed to not only overcome debilitating hereditary setbacks but get to save thousands every year on exorbitant Supercuts expenses.

 

Joe Satriani

No matter what Coldplay thinks, since shaving off his unruly locks the great guitarist has only gotten, well, greater. When we asked him about his terrible disability a few years ago here’s what Joe had to say: “The day I shaved my head I said, ‘Finally, it's over!’ I didn’t want to be that guy who wears the baseball hat all the time. Always embrace your age. It's about the music, not the hair.” You can expect Chris Martin to say the exact same thing three years from now.

 

Michael Stipe

Yes, we are keenly aware that R.E.M. actually started making terrible records as soon as Stipe lost his head full of frizz but we’re sure it was just a coincidence. At least until there is a scientific link between having hair and coming up with lyrics like, “What do you do between the horns of the day?"

 

Daughtry

Baldie Chris Daughtry didn’t win American Idol but his hirsute rival Taylor Hicks did. Guess which one sold more than 4-million copies of his debut album? (Hint: It wasn’t the guy with the full head of George Clooney-style salt and pepper hair who went on to star in an off-Broadway production of Grease).

 

Rob Halford

Quick, name one so-called hair metal band that rocks harder than Judas Priest! Trick question — there aren’t any, proving there is a direct correlation between having a severely egg-shaped dome and communing with the dark side.

 

Seal

You might be able to see the shine off this British soul superstar’s noggin from the seventh ring of Saturn but then again Heidi Klum isn’t your wife and you didn’t write “Kiss From A Rose,” did you?

 

Brian Eno

Besides producing everyone from U2 to Coldplay, Eno’s brain is so powerful that it can conjure entire solo albums out of the sounds of bubbles popping, elevator doors opening and dogs pooping. His hair simply had to move it or lose it. Or, you know, both.

 

Sinead O’Connor

Fact: Male pattern baldness doesn’t only affect males. It also affects female Irish singers who aren’t going to take your stupid crap any more. Further examples: Britney Spears, Melissa Etheridge.

 

Billy Corgan

He’s creepy and he’s kooky and he doesn’t need anyone else in his band to call it the Smashing Pumpkins. The cool breeze in Chicago may have finally caught up with the blood flowing to his cranium but back in the day, Corgan easily held his own against shaggy challengers like Eddie Vedder and Chris Cornell.

 

Phil Collins

BOOM-BAM-BOOM-BOOM-BAM! What’s that? Oh, just the greatest drum solo ever brought to you by the man who also innovated the business on top/party in the back combo before semi-gracefully submitting to nature.

 

Moby

Had anybody actually ever heard a techno song until this teetotal, vegan, celibate Christian Marxist producer came along? Probably not and for the benefit of this particular list we’re going to say it’s all because he doesn’t have any hair.

 

Also in the No-Hair Club For Men:

Bob Mould

The Edge

Bret Michaels

Tupac

Ian MacKaye

Frank Black

Kevin Eubanks

Peter Gabriel

Aaron Lewis

Maynard James-Keenan

Billy Joel

Tom Morello

Peter Frampton

Paul Shaffer

Ringo Starr

Looks like the Myth Busters aka Pelican Parts forum posters have made a solid case for "they are just like the rest of us".

It was fun while it lasted.
