(Even) Better Bearded
Posted by millymollymandy on 10 June 2010 - 12:48pm.
Top of the list, Tom Petty - no difference musically (all fabulous in my book) but aesthetically, better bearded (see promo pics for new album, Mojo, out Monday)
Also on the list, Mike Rutherford & Ringo - any others?
(or is this just one for the other lady-chaps?)

The one that stands out for me is Eric Clapton...
as without a beard one realizes that he *literally* has no chin.
seconded patrick
the absence of a chin or an excess of chins are the perfect place for a beard.
lowell george and guy garvey for the latter
tom petty is close to the former
Exactly
TP
- chinless and, frankly, getting a bit saggy now - oh dear...
- once again bearded - sigh...
Not fair that the same doesn't work for us lady-chaps, especially when we get to the age where it becomes, unfortunately, more feasible.
I have always
regarded the Lowell George look as an absence of shaving rather than a beard.
It's got to be Mr D.P.A. McManus...
... or maybe not.
Did you have to do that?
Just came back home from a nice relaxing evening with a friend, another friend just called to invite me for a BBQ on Saturday, the rain stopped and I´m listening to Kind Of Blue. And you just had to post this picture? Why duco01? Why?
Jag ber så mycket om ursäkt,
Ola.
Du är förlåten,
as Pete Townshend once sang. Another one that didn´t look very good bearded.
ANOTHER ONE Nicholas Cave
chin deficient - could well extend the porn movie mo' and go the whole hog.
thank god I'm physically perfect;-)
Beards?
Ooohhh, I don't know. Beards always make me faintly uneasy. They always look they'll be a little scratchy and possibly harbouring crumbs from lunch.
(Sincere apologies to any beard-wearing members of the Massive for any possible offence - I don't have a beard myself so I'm not really in a position to judge. Please provide any evidence to the contrary, I'd like to hear it)
Worse, maybe, better
WORSE: much worse:
MAYBE: Only because without it I'd mistake him for Mark Kermode after an out-of-date Brylcreem incident:
BETTER: Mr E's Beautiful beard:
I didn't know Jagger had auditioned
for the Bee Gees... that would explain why he and Keef have barely spoken for years...
Hirsute chap
...our Mr E
Jeff Lynne
Can't really imagine Jeff without a beard although there are a few pics of him in the Idle Race without beard.
Dylan, Lennon and McCartney all had beards at some point but looked better without them.
Jeff's Beard/Sunglass combo
Never goes anywhere without them
LOVE a beard
They look a bit scratchy Hannah, but are lovely and soft after a certain length - it's 'designer stubble' that truly offends and inflicts damage.
Can't post pics from work computer but my examples are Dave Grohl and Paul MacCartney - both quite nice sans facial hair anyway, but vastly improved avec...mmm
I'll take your word for it
But next time I see Dave, I'm going to walk right up and fondle his chin. And if it's not lovely and soft, I shall be very disappointed. VERY.
(and if Dave complains I'll tell him you told me to do it. so there.)
;-)
Deadhead
Gotta be Jerry Garcia with the face fur
The Beach Boys
Especially Dennis.
Also The Band. They invented beard rock. Have seen pictures of them pre-beard. Looks weird.
My favourite rock beard...
I'm sure it powers the genius that is Garth.
this divides women, i am told
current GF actively asked me to shave before i went anywhere near her then adapted to beardiness after we'd not seen each other for a couple of months ... it seems to split 50/50 with women falling into either the "aaaargh hideous" camp or the "aaaaah, helloooo" camp
Shall we won't touch on baldness?
The hair displacement from the top of the head to the bottom looks interesting. I think ZZTop specialised in this look along with a member of The Queens Of The New Stone Age (& it could be the one in the sock, I'm not an expert on QONSA). They only get away with it because of their huge muscles and tattoos. No-one is going to question their sartorial elegance with that combination.
(Unfortunately, I don't yet have the skills to post a picture)
The baldy beardy you refer to
is Nick Oliveri, an impressive purveyor of the shining dome furry face combo.
