looks like bass player went bald

[T-Rat]

well, he still looks good to me!

 

[Blind Guardian]

and i always thought headbanging was for letting your energy out!

 

[Lothlorien]

a bit sad, but he pulls it off nicely.

 

[Albatros]

Worst news in Opeths history ever!!!

 

[Iki-ilkkuja]

Hopefully Mikael is not going to do the same thing sometime in the future... his hair is far from being as long as what it used to be.

 

[the opeth affinity]

You look spastic trying to headbang with no hair.




Thats very true, i wonder what his sde to side headbanging thingy will look like now with no hair, he looked cool in the quit bits with the hair over his whole face now he'll have to smile ..............or something

 

[Lilith Bloodshed]

At first sight I thought it was photoshopeth thread -.-''

 

[soundave]

No. When I see a bald/short haired guy headbanging, it usually looks as if he is going to break his neck or something. With longer hair it looks kinda normal because IMO headbanging has more to do with throwing your hair around rather than moving actual head.

Yeah, Scott Ian has been doing the bald headbanging thing for, like, forever, and he's a SERIOUS headbanger.

 

[intimidatingcrustaceans]

wow, this is on the same level as lindgren and lopez leaving...

 

[TehLeperAffinity]

I'm glad you guys are dedicated enough to care about one of the band members altering their personal appearance.

 

[Crackfare]

thats something i had nightmares about..only it was Mikael shaving his head lol.
What concert was this n why does mikael's hair look more brown?

 

[Crackfare]

oh wait a minute...thats not Mikael. thats the other krux guy lol MY BAD

 

[ever dying]

thats something i had nightmares about..only it was Mikael shaving his head lol.

aint mike

 

[FRUGiHOYi]

I guess he figured now would be a good time to do it since the band has already changed so much recently. Yeah, having long hair can really be a bitch, I don't blame him. I cut mine some months ago too and I'm glad I did.

 

[Evil Blakey]

Damn... Now he just looks like any other chav... Too bad. At least his name isn't Samson...

 

[Sinten]

aw, his long hair was so metal. and bald guy headbanging has nothing on long hair headbanging. oh well, whatever he wants is fine, i'll greatly miss the mendez hair though.
longhairs unite \m/

 

[Crackfare]

Mike told me that someone fucked up his haircut and he decided he should just forget about it and shave his head, but he will let it grow out agai eventually...in a few years lol.

 

[Sinten]

and that's why you never let anyone besides girlfriends or really good friends take scissors anywhere near your hair, one little fuck up will ruin years of growth

 

[Godhead59]

What if he goes all Jason Newstead on us?

What's wrong with Jason Newsted?

And yeah, while he might not look as cool headbanging anymore, he's still Mendez, the Opeth bassist we all love.

 

[Towedwart]

It fits him. He looks just fine with the new baldness.
