1. He likes headbanging
2. Girls tell him they like his hair
3. He's narcissistic and does what other people tell him to do instead of what he wants
1. I only headbang if I'm playing on stage with a band. Which I haven't done for like 2 years. Brushing my hair out after our set was always one of the single most horrifying experiences of my life. I absolutely DO NOT miss it. I agree headbanging is fun and rad, but I never do it and it's not why I keep my hair long.
2. This much is very true
3. LOL ok
I've been thinking about this all morning, trying to figure out why I have my hair long. I don't do it to associate myself with "metal". In fact, that's something I've honestly been trying to separate myself from in recent years. Tom said earlier that long hair is basically synonymous with metal and I think that's unfortunate, but it is what it is. I don't keep it long to please women, although I can't lie and deny that I enjoy the great compliments I get from them
I don't keep it long because others tell me I should.
I don't know, I think what it's really about is that I do it to be different and I do it because it makes me comfortable. Sometimes when I'm in a foul mood and I'm walking around with it hanging down in front of my face, I think that maybe I'm subconsciously hiding myself from others or something.
I think the fact that my hair is totally awesome and epic helps a lot too. If I had shitty hair, it probably would have been chopped years ago. But, in lieu of tooting my own horn, my hair is amazing and it really does seem like a waste to cut it off right now when I still enjoy it so much.
