Do you think the beards are false? Or would they just tuck them down their jumpers? But you're right, I have absolutely no idea what Billy Gibbons' hair looks like, if he has any. And I didn't think I'd be able to find a recent picture of him without sunglasses, but there are some:

I think Richie was a very early adopter of the hair transplant and, like many on the bleeding edge of any new cosmetic procedure, has probably been stuck with a less than convincing results. Let's face it, if Elton John, with all his stupendous wealth, still looks like he's has a dead cat dropped on his head, what chance has anyone else got of achieving convincing results?
The Edge is another who is clearly troubled by his sparse pate. There are plenty of pictures of him sans beanie and you can clearly see the plugs giving that "dolls hair" effect that I seem to remember seeing on a snooker player in the '70s. Again, he has the economic power of a mid-sized African nation at his personal disposal, so if that's the best that science can manage then it would probably be better to leave it. The odd thing is that he actually looks fine (IMO) bald and it's how I've always imagined him under that "Benny hat". I read Gary Numan's biography a long time ago and he regretted his transplant for the same reason (visible plugs) as, being of the electro/alternative genre, a shaved head was almost de rigueur at the time.
I think that, rather like sexual preference, being bald is thankfully no longer considered something to be deeply ashamed of and hidden at all cost lest the sales figures recede with the hairline.
As a callow youth I used to go to concerts by Rainbow and Jethro Tull (among many others) and it was the latter band that won my heart by openly embracing their ageing by making fun of it. (Better music too.) Modern musical types seem to have just shaved their noggin at the first sign of encroaching spam and got on with the general business of rock and for that I raise a tankard of foaming nutbrown ale in their general direction.
Johnny Marr and Jeff Beck both dye, but have their own hair.
