I dont know who talked who into what all I know is it was a way of the times. The big hair and spandex regardless of what kind of metal you played, except maybe thrash but I wouldnt be surprised to find photos of those guys in their youth garnering the hair of the times, or if you didnt play at all you might still have at least 50% "big hair" . The girly makeup was another thing... now your getting closer to glam. Im sure they all wore "stage makeup" for videos and photos, no different than actors do. You can go back into the early 70's and find guys with big fros or poofy hair, no different, in some cases it was natural, I had a buddy that wouldnt grow his hair long after the first time because he looked like he had a big red fro.... lol. I think many of these players today dye their hair black and iron it because I recall few of us that actually had "straight" hair let alone black. I had the jew curl thing going on and if I brushed it out after it dried or worst yet dryed it with a blow dryer... guess what... puff. People make too much of the "big hair" today, I've seen the damndest bands listed as "hair bands".... like WTF... long hair and ROCK has always gone hand in hand, whether you had it layered and blow dried it, let it do its own thing or iron it... BFD
today we're all half to nearly........ bald.......... lol
