You can use it in a magic spell to give yourself guitar-shredding skills.

I don't want to be a stickler, but (being a warlock and all) guitar-shredding skills are held in the pubic hair area. Sorry.

I think his short hair/short beard combo around ToT suited him more but he should always have a beard...it's a well known fact that without the beard the other bears would beat him up

The only beard in the band that I dislike is Jordan's, and that would be improved if he'd just grow it longer and start wearing a wizard hat.  I'm even beginning to like James' beard.  It looked strange at first but now it's really filling out and it looks quite nice.
Title: Re: JP's beard

Jordan's goatee makes me cringe a little bit admittedly, but he obviously likes it.

JLB's beard rocks

JP's beard is great. JLB's is also awesome.

BTW, has John Myung ever thinked of having a beard (Even though he doesn't need it at all)?

Would just like to point out that I DO live in it. I also lived in his hair from 1992-2003. I emigrated to Jordan's goatee in 2003, and loved the lifestyle, however, it didn't really have central heating (was a bit thin) so, when I heard that John had this majestic beard, I moved immediately. It's really warm. Even in winter.

My Blu-ray arrived yesterday and I spent the afternoon drinking a few beers and blasting that thing through my surround speakers... I cannot find the words to express how much of an improvement this recording is over the Luna Park mess that was released almost a year ago...

I would also have liked for the orchestra and choir to be a bit more audible, simply because Rudess' key-sounds are so awesome these days, that it is hard to hear the difference in a live setting. But aside from that small note I loved every nano-second of the release.... James is as awesome as he could possibly be with his 50+ year old voice and the mix is light-years ahead of that on the Luna Park release!

Heck, everything is just... better... much, much better. The stage setup is awesome, the video show is great (and not cut in with the live footage during the actual show or stupidly superimposed on the musicians playing as e.g. on TBOA on the LP release), the sound is way more even, with Rudess' solo sport clearly audible; the drums sound way more "live"; the cut is slower with smart occasional use of multiple Videos side by side or even at one point all four musicians being shown on the screen split four ways.

I love, love, love this Blu-ray as much as I HATED the Luna Park one.... Bring on the next tour and next concert release!!!

That picture is at pretty much the perfect angle, and his hair is nicely weaved and straightened out there. He's thinning out quite noticeably if you see him in a ponytail.

It actually looks like his growth line was always around that point, even in the younger photos. So maybe he's not receding relatively as bad as we think. Sometimes it just stands out more if his hair's right back. :lol

But anyway, the beard is glorious. ;)

But the real question is who is more metal; John or Bill?  Bill has a very unique one-of-a-kind style that I don't know if JP can match: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoA5jty5yQE

His beard is going out of control, he should trim it a little or something.

Or just out of nowhere appear with the 2001 hairstyle and no beard like in '93. Out of fucking nowhere.

Well it's his facial hair, so he can do what he wants with it, but I'm not digging it at all. I like the way he had it trimmed around the Awake era. Now he looks more like John Kalodner or Rick Rubin.

I'll second that.  If I wasn't a Mortgage Broker, and I didn't have to look "professional" (I have a full beard; just trimmed), my hair would be at my shoulders and my beard would be kept in the "King Leonidas" style.  I think JP's beard more resembles Leonidas than Jace Robertson.

It might while he is having a sit down practice.  I know I had that problem with my long hair all the time.  Nothing like having to tie up two hands with playing and not being able to get the hair out of your eyes or off the strings without some violent head "banging".

I'm not a fan of the beard.       I actually liked when he had the short spiky hair - wasn't that around 2000?

I don't think that bosky ever had short spiky hair.

Am I a woman now, then? I can't grow a beard even if I don't shave for months (I've tried, but the fuzz just gets awkward after a while)... beard-growing tips, anyone?
