Best Rock Hair

rsvmark · July 2023

As I was watching some vintage Thin Lizzy on YT today, I reflected on what a magnificent mane John Sykes was blessed with. Does anyone top him?

let’s review the evidence:

And for balance, who’s is spectacularly bad??

I saw Lizzy in 1979 and was taken with Scott’s hair as much as any other aspect of the band. And Phil stuck with a nice fro.

[ and how did Gary Moore break the low E?]

One of the most spectacular hair dos in music history.

Dave Mustaine has always been my man-crush:

Swoon.

Yeah, I don't think anyone tops late-1970s Scott Gorham.

I know. But it was never to be. I did have very long, straight hair in my late teens and again in my twenties, but it was nowhere near Gorham-esque.

And holy fucking shit, what an awesome performance that is, by the way.

It's either Jimi Hendrix or Dave Hill of Slade.

I’m 47 and grew back my unruly curly and frizzy main at 42/43. It’s kind of dumb but not yet grey or thinning so…

I've still got a full head of hair and very little grey... it might be a little thinner on top but the jury's out on that, it was never very thick in the first place. I'm not growing it again though, I don't think it would be a good look at my age.
