Maybe it's just that I was a casual fan at the time this was published, but I certainly don't recall JP ever looking like this:

That purple/blue hair...

KILL IT WITH FIRE!

What really makes it is the sunglasses.

Progmetty · « **Reply #3 on:** February 11, 2016, 10:12:03 AM »

Ahh purple highlights Petrucci.. the best of all Petrucci's.

That was around the time they went out on tour with YES.. Don't know what kind of fashion statement he was trying to make at that time, but I'm glad he ditched it.

Hey I'm not a purple highlights/indoor sunglasses/ear rings/opened-button-up-shirt-with-chest-hair-showing kinda guy, but it's better than his current beard situation, his current beard supersedes everything in the "JP and bad new look decisions" diaries IMO.

Architeuthis · « **Reply #6 on:** February 11, 2016, 10:30:22 AM »

I hear ya, at least JP keeps it tidy. If your out gigging, I think it's unprofessional if you are unkept. JP on the other hand can get away with it and he still looks cool. I still think he looks better without the beard.. I wonder what the women on this forum think about that??

Progmetty · « **Reply #7 on:** February 11, 2016, 10:36:24 AM »

He kept it tidy up until a year or so ago, now I can't tell where it ends and his hair begins, it's like his face is leaving us and we need to do something to save it..

This looks a mess.

Haha I guess I'm weird, but I think his beard looks awesome ATM.

Progmetty · « **Reply #10 on:** February 11, 2016, 10:44:31 AM »

That beard is luring in metal guys to buy The Astonishing, maybe that's why they're pissed

Best Guitar World issue ever. Dream Theater and Rush featured as the main articles. Vivian Campbell revisits the Dio days, this is gold! Even Prong is in there. Plus transcription to Dark Eternal Night.

What's more impactful to me is how different he looks skinny, rather than all jacked up from weightlifting.
It's like he went from cocaine to steroids

Dream Team · « **Reply #13 on:** February 11, 2016, 11:30:43 AM »

My first DT concert was in August 2004 and JP was completely clean-shaven and wore dark shades the whole show. Must have been right around the time of this interview.

DarkLord_Lalinc · « **Reply #14 on:** February 11, 2016, 11:33:28 AM »

Porn star Petrucci.

Good times.

If he trimmed it just a little it would look cool. Now it looks somehow unnatural and weird $:-\$

WheyWaffles · « **Reply #17 on:** February 11, 2016, 11:43:09 AM »

This was during his bondage phase where he had all sorts of otherwise-pointless straps hanging off his Hot Topic pants.

Amazing what a little over a decade can do for an image...

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #19 on:** February 11, 2016, 01:08:19 PM »

Current JP would be right at home on Sons of Anarchy.

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #20 on:** February 11, 2016, 01:10:04 PM »

Or as Danny, the Yeti on a rerun of Friends.

DarkLord_Lalinc · « **Reply #21 on:** February 11, 2016, 02:17:20 PM »

How awkward would he look if he went back to the purple highlights/Bono sunglasses/pornstar shirt these days? With all the muscles and baldness going on.

Now that I think about it, so would you.

I think the best JP look was Budokan.
