Mike P.- Long, Curly
Kevin M.- Long, Curly
Charlie D.- Long, Curly

SDOIT
I already know.
ToT
All I know is that JP had short hair.
8vm
No idea at all.
SC
Already know.
BC&SL
Already know.
So ToT and 8vm, I need answers to. Thanks!

There comes a point where you just get too old to have long hair. I hate to say it, but I think a lot of the guys in the band are past that point. Mangini and Petrucci, at least. It looks a little ratty, TBH. I wish JP would go back to the shorter look of the early 2000s.
LaBrie can still sort of rock it, and Myung's hair is so straight, he can probably get away with it forever.
-
Man, we're really scraping the barrel for conversation topics.
-
For ToT, just watch the Making Of series of videos, and for Octavarium watch Score I would say.
-
Considering its a hair thread, you should check out the SDOIT Studio visit video. I wasn't sure if it's ok to post a link.
JP: "Since I have cut my hair all my songs are 3 minute long in 4/4..........But when I grow my beard I play heavier. And when it gets really long I sound like ZZ Top!"

LOL Unforgettable...
I kinda like JR beard on the DVD bootleg of Dark Side of the Moon, it so XIX's

Please, can we talk about this rare John Petrucci?

(https://www.emil.absorbant.net/36-0025f.jpg)
Yup! This came to mind. Worst. JP. EVAR. This was the look he premiered at the beginning of the tour with Yes in 2004, and over time the red highlights disappeared and/or were replaced with deep blue ones, the mustache grew back and I'm pretty sure he ditched the Hollywood sunglasses. Not sure what possessed him to try this look, or for that matter, the manscara emo look or even the one he used for Gigantour (hair not so bad, but ridiculous pants). Glad that he's just revert to be normal again (and has since roughly 2006).

(https://pxhst.co/avaxhome/e2/cf/0023cfe2_medium.png)
Seriously, wtf?
I've seen at least one photo where his hair was even shorter (tho not as short as for ADToE) and he had a mustache.
-
I actually don't mind that JLB hair... Maybe that says more about me :loser:

I cannot even comprehend this. I really don't like it and I'm really glad that look is long gone.
Long hair ftw

I'm almost sure Steve Vai possessed him :lol

Oh, man, I don't know why he dressed like this. Anyone would think he's a guitar player of a Nu Metal band (plus, with the short hair he looked like 25-30 y.o.

And answered.
Quite frankly, I thought the short hair and style worked pretty well for JP.

The shorter hair is one thing - the clothes from that time period are something completely different. And that photo doesn't even show the worst clothes he had. I remember seeing a photo of him wearing these fairly baggy pants that had bright orange straps hanging down from them. Ridiculous.

Manly thread is manly.

I usually try not to talk about clothes and hair of a band. What am I a 13yo girl? :angel: (honestly, keep up the posting OntheBacksofAngela. We should welcome a fan that doesn't fit the typical DT profile.) But that doesn't mean I don't take mental notes on style.
I think I know the zipper pants of which you speak. They can't all be hits. He's gonna have some misses. I thought it was cool that he tried out new territory in his life that was obviously a risk for him. I bet Myung wishes he could try a cool short hair look, but is afraid it might not turn out well and have to deal with all that hair farming time he put in going to waste :biggrin: I'm saying this as someone that used to have extremely long hair. Once it gets a certain length, cutting it is very hard.
Now Jordan's goatee, don't get me started on that. Shaving his head was a great move though. He pulled that off nicely.

Think they'll all go bald next. With long beards....

Just to stray out of this topic for a quick second, because I dont want to create a new one.
I remmeber seeing a video where Dream Theater chose an item for each member. Moore got the piano, Portnoy got the gloves, labrie got the mike thing, myung got the cook, ad petrucci got the exaggerator. What were those things? I've never seen theme before.

Do you mean the condoms?
-
Excuse me?
What's that?
-
What were your favourite looks of the bandmembers?
JLB - long hair with beard, I guess BCSL era
JM - Asian, always looked the same (kidding, maybe 8varium)
JR - bald head and long beard, just like now
JP - Budokan look (spiky hair) as well as his classic look (long hair, short beard)
MP - curly hair, medium length, white sport jersey, a bit of beard, glasses
MM - I guess he should get a haircut, JP still looks nice with long hair IMO, but Mangini should definitely cut it off
-
All I know, is I would take that LaBrie from the photo above, and almost every Petrucci photo here (less the one with the orange streaks, and the pants with the parachute still mistakenly clipped to the side) over today's look.
I put on BTFW on Palladia the other week, and she knows I dig Portnoy, so I told her a little about the band and said "this is his old band...etc. etc." She kind of dug the music (she's mostly country, but likes rock as long as they are singing not screaming or carving up a lung), but looked at me and said "But they look ridiculous. They're the same age as YOU?"
Look, metal is as much a uniform as any other genre, including rap and boy bands. Dark jeans, check. Weird dark t-shirt with the pseudo-tat looking artwork on the front, maybe some flames on the side, check. Black boots, check. Long straggly hair despite the slightly receding hairline, check. Beard, check. I mean, c'mon. And it's not just DT: Richie Kotzen looked ridiculous when I saw him with the Winery Dogs eith the leggings and shorts and stretchy sweater and not stretchy sweater... Give me Billy Sheehan - simple black pants, simple black button down shirt - any day of the week. If you have to make the shirt color, fine. Blue or purple silk, and you're looking good (see: Robert Plant).
Best dressed DT member ever: Derek Sherinian.

Yeah, they are in Japan and MP picks out condoms for the band members. They were a bunch of hobbies/interest themed condoms.

Condoms? Um, are they like a dream theater souvenir? Where can I find those condoms? That'd be really nice to havr.

Everything about this will be clear in due time, but it's best if you do not understand it all through us.

?
I checked the first dictionary and it was urban dictionary and that's what it said. Read the definitions there....so?
Edit: I'm frustrated that I don't know many things.
-
Good, you're not suppose to understand these sorts of things at your age. Heck, I can't recall at the particular age I begin to grasp all of this. We're still talking about JP's crazy hair and parachute pants right?
-
Yeah, let's just go back there.
JP's short hair is what makes him the handsome member in the band while Labrie comes close, in the old days.
-
I checked the first dictionary and it was urban dictionary and that's what it said. Read the definitions there....so?
No no no. Never go to an "urban" dictionary. All they do there is provide slang terminology and definitions that are sometimes pretty bad. If you want to get the actual definition of a word, go to a website like:
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/
https://www.merriam-webster.com/
or
https://www.oed.com/
Edit: I'm frustrated that I don't know many things.
Don't worry - enjoy your innocence. You may feel frustrated now, but sometimes it's nice not knowing everything or the truth about everything. You'll understand that as you get older.

Personnally I think they look fairly good on this picture.

I agree, they all looked fine, I liked Mangini's short hair better, or long ad in the 90's but now they are too dark.
Even though Petrucci looked better with shorter hair as in Score or, even better, with very long hair as in 1995:

This is the image I am referring to when I reference the "uniform". I could do without that, but then again, it's not my call. I don't let anyone tell me how to look, so I wouldn't expect them to change a thing because I (or anyone else) said so.

I see what you mean. Personally I find their look in that photo pretty ''normal'', but it's true that a lot of metal band dress in a similar fashion.
What about this then?

I saw your age too and I have to say 2 things:
1. It's amazing that the band have fans of your age!
2. Maybe in some years you'll understand what the condoms are, but they aren't a DT's souvenir. It was just a sign on the streets of Tokio and they were joking. Also, that happened back in 1992 :biggrin:
-
There's no way someone at 13 doesn't know what a comdom is, right? It's pretty young, but it's not that young, especially these days.
-

Well, unless they are homeschooled, their parents shelter them from everything and the contact they have with friends is severely limited.
-

At least in my country (México), at 13 most of teenagers already know what a condom is, but hey, she still keeps her innocence. She will know it when the right time comes :tup

So this thread got kinda creepy. Well, lets be honest, it started out creepy with a bunch of straight men talking about our preferences for other mens appearance...not that there is anything wrong with that.
Condoms? Um, are they like a dream theater souvenir? Where can I find those condoms? That'd be really nice to havr.
Easily one of the best posts I have read recently.
I gotta say, this might be the ultimate DT souvenir. So bizarre and obscure, nobody thought to pick up those condoms in japan in the early-mid 90s. I know some people on this board have the original Majesty demo tape. One person even got Mike Portnoy's cut off blue beard from the early 2000's (I dont think they post here though) but nobody has the keyboard condom that DT were joking about from the Live in Tokyo home video.
That could fetch in upwards of $10 on ebay.

"Hey honey, I got a Dream Theater condom. Let's put Octavarium on. It lasts 24 minutes. And so can I".

So ToT and 8vm, I need answers to. Thanks!
So, going back to the original question, here are the pictures.
DREAM THEATER 2004. TOT era. This was the average look of the members (except JP and his Steve Vai-esque look)

This is JP's 2004 look, before the rare look.
(https://ibrahimgahnie.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/dreamtheaterliveatbudokan5.jpg)
DREAM THEATER 2005. 8V era. Actually they kept the same look of the previous year. JR is the only that changed a bit, shaving his moustache and beard (kinda weird looking). Since then, he's been growing his wizard beard :biggrin:

This is DTF, so maybe this game has already been played but .........
Guess the year by only using a John Myung pic. Each pic could probably range from 1982 to 2015. The background would probably give more away than JM.

He changes basses a lot (or at least used to when I still paid attention). So I'm gonna say his bass model is going to give away more than Myung himself.
That was the black clothes, straight long hair era.

Okno.
Seriously tho, I don't think there's really any way to tell between BC&SL Myung and Score Myung.
That just stopped aging, he's immortal, he's gonna outlive all his bandmates by a long time. Next to None's members will die of old age and Myung will be at their funerals. He's expected to live around 500 years at least.

Myung is a giant tortoise

I wish Rudess would've kept the moustache. I can't say why, he looks friendlier with it (but he's always smiling and pleasant so I forget that at times).

Agreed Calvin - the bass will be the key to guessing a fairly accurate year. For the above picture, I actually was gonna guess somewhere between 2002 and 2006. But it could've been 2007 - that was right when JM was switching from Yamaha to Music Man basses. He was playing a 5-string Bongo bass on that tour, but still played his 6-string Yamahas (with the MM-style pickup) when necessary since EB/MM was still working on the 6-string Bongo bass for him (which I believe premiered for the 2007 North American late summer tour leg).
-
JP's best look by far is from the ToT era, as seen on the Budokan DVD - shorter, spiky hair on top, goatee. He should bring that back (especially since the long hair look looks really bad once your hairline recedes too much).
-
I absolutely hated the short hair on JP. Spiky or not. Hated it on MP too.
I'm all for longer hair. The longer the better.
I'm content with how they look in the last few years. I like this dark-intense-bearded-metal-dudes look:

My favourite JP look was when he was at his absolute biggest, probably around 08-10 maybe, with long, straight hair. Fucking boss
-
There comes a point where you just get too old to have long hair. I hate to say it, but I think a lot of the guys in the band are past that point. Mangini and Petrucci, at least. It looks a little ratty, TBH. I wish JP would go back to the shorter look of the early 2000s.
LaBrie can still sort of rock it, and Myung's hair is so straight, he can probably get away with it forever.
I think it's funny and ironic that you said that some guys are too old to have long hair, but that James, who is 52, still looks good that way, but Petrucci, who is still in his 40's, should cut it.
My two cents:
-I think James looks okay, but maybe he should try the shorter hairstyle like he had during the FII tour, just to see how it goes.
-I agree that Mangini's hair is awfully "ratty," and he should maybe go back to the shorter style that I've seen in some of those older pictures of him.
-It would be interesting to see Myung try a really short hairstyle. He looks too much like a girl.
-Petrucci looks okay, as long as he keeps his BEARD trimmed. The "crew-cut" look he had back around '04 made him look like a little boy, but a shorter haircut might look good, as long as it isn't THAT short.
-I wish Jordan would at least let a little "fuzz" grow on top of his head. I've never really liked or gotten used to the skin job.
-
I don't care one bit what their head looks like.
