DT in the studio again!

[jonnybaxy]

Why is JLB ginger?

Because he is naturally a redhead ?

He's looked more blonde than ginger for ages.

[Kotowboy]

Dye?

[wasteland]

Of course it's dyed. How would it be possible to change hair color multiple times as he did if it wasn't?

[MoraWintersoul]

I thought it was common knowledge that JLB's been dyeing his hair for longer than he's been in DT? MM also does it and MP did/does too, no big deal

[wasteland]

Yeah, I'm absolutely fine with it. As long as they are happy

Wait, you're telling me MP's beard isn't naturally blue?

[Kotowboy]

He just has a very cold chin.

[Orbert]

I just figured his hair gets lighter when he's out in the sun more, and darker during the winter.  A lot of people's hair does that.

Yeah this happens to me as well, to the point where people ask me if i dyed my hair

Maybe he shaves with lead-foam?

That would cause a bluish hue to the skin and beard (I think?), but MADNESS AND DEATH TOO

I thought early on maybe not, but once he was in his late 30's it probably started going grey. You can definitely see some grey roots in the more recent years from time to time. Sometimes I think people actually mistake that for his hair receding more than it actually is. Probably a similar situation with the other guys, except hair will stay black longer. Anyway, who the hell cares, as long as they don't cut it!

 lol I can imagine the guys reading this forum and see us, even the guys, talking about their hair 

[wasteland]

I have this gut feeling that James started dying his hair in 96

AND, I really hope they are not reading these posts. We would creep them out of the galaxy

No way man, his hair color changed several times since pre-Images, Images to Awake

we've talked of way creepier things than this

[King Postwhore]

When I went to a meet n greet for the SFAM tour James roots we gray.

He had some gray hair back in '93, you can see it under the lights on the side of his head during some-or-other-ballad of LiT.

Son now we're discussing if they dye their hair

   Well it was so pronounced in person.  Besides, live I look at his junk.

thank you, I will savor that laugh you just gave me.

[Lucien]

It's rainin', rainin', on the streets of New York City

[TheAtliator]

the only thing I really don't get is this-



literally one-year difference  and actually same thing for '98 to '99

[DarkLord_Lalinc]

That's very impressive for a man that just turned 50.

[Perpetual Change]

Only one explanation.

MID LIFE CRISIS

[DebraKadabra]

Goodness gracious, all of the James pics!!!

The one year difference one is rather startling, but I'm impressed in the man's ability to grow hair.  I am so not worthy.

[TheAtliator]

oh come on guys you know they were extensions or plugs or something.. you just don't wanna admit it..

[DebraKadabra]

 

[TheAtliator]

  sorry! XD

[TheAtliator]

I was just kidding- James's hair is not fake, he would never do that to you Debs!

[DebraKadabra]

 

[Sycsa]

Only one explanation.

MID LIFE CRISIS

He's perfect, yes, it's true.

[wasteland]

So, I wake up tomfind that the creepy hair discussion is still going on? Completely expected.

[MoraWintersoul]

That's a year, your hair can grow a lot more in that time, trust me

Also a shout out to DT in case they may be reading this and shaking their heads at us:
WE DON'T CARE THAT YOU CUT OR DYE YOUR HAIR OR SHAVE YOUR HEAD OR HAVE AN EPIC BEARD OR NOT HAVE AN EPIC BEARD OR LOOK THE SAME AS YOU DID IN '92 OR HAVE 30 EXTRA POUNDS OF MUSCLES WE LOVE YOU OKAY

[wasteland]

Everybody is beautiful, and they certainly are! 

Now that we have settled this, give us the fucking album already. biggrin:

[robwebster]

I love how they are dressed normally!
I hope that the final photos would look as much natural as possible!
Not like BC&SL Goth-Heavy-Crap

Ugh, none of them really look any different. It's just them wearing their regular clothes and standing there expressionless, just like every photo shoot, including BCASL. There was nothing remotely goth about any of their photo shoots, unless Photoshopping in a cloudy sky is goth.

PICTURE!

SO METUHL. WHAT A HUGE DEPARTURE THEIR NEW PHOTOSHOOT IS!

Or maybe you also mean the SC photo shoot?

PICTURE!

So glad they're over that phase of wearing clothes and standing there.

What I would say, and this applies very much to the BCSL shoot and not at all to the SC or ADToE ones, is that in the BCSL shoot they're standing in grey or black environments, wearing grey or black clothes, with grey or black expressions.

I'm sure this is, in part, due to the title of the album - as are the photoshopped clouds - but it does make it look a lot more "planned," it looks very deliberate, like they're aiming for a particular vibe, and I also agree that the faux-sinister thing doesn't quite come off.  Funnily, they're doing the exact same thing in this photoshoot, except the sky's blue, and Mike Mangini's t-shirt is blue. Which must mean he's dead, or Ringo's an auton, or something. I think the teeny bit more colour and the shinier environment go a long way. That people still remember the BCSL pics is probably as much a comment about how different they genuinely did feel as it is a barbed jab at MP's leadership and vision. Same shit, different details, but with something as "stock" and generic as a band photo, those details to tend to go much further than they might elsewhere.

...and I do have a t-shirt and a hoodie with both of the BCSL promo pics on, so I'm not slagging them off!
