Jeff Beck's syrup
Posted by Colin H on 4 May 2011 - 4:41pm.
Carol From Luton recently suggested, off list, that there was something very fishy about the Beckmeister's head situation: if it's a wig, was it on straight when he appeared in the George Martin doc?
Questions were then raised about Ronnie Wood...
Who are/were the great wig-wearers of rock who should, frankly, get over themselves and just make the music? (obviously, that can't include those in the 'were' category!)
For a start:
Carl Perkins
Richie Blackmore
Ian Paice
I have my suspicions about Biff Byford...
Are Deep Purple the most wig-out band in rock? Toupee the Pops?

I see
Robin Gibb is bewigged again. He had a period without his beloved pet but must have missed its company.
Phil Spector.
Wig-tastic.
Any thoughts on Sir Clifford? Do we reckon the luxuriant tonsorialled one is all his own or are there some added extras in there?
Jagger.
Dad was bald.
Brother bald.
Jagger is almost 70 and look at him. Really.
Yes,
He's come a long way since the days when he was still Hayley Mills
Yes, Jagger...
...surely no doubt about it (or, as Mick would put it, 'Nowurrrrgh DAHHHHHT ABAAAAHT ud - yeah!').
and they don't get more ludicrous than Spector do they?
I almost forgot - Helena of Handcart fame told an anecdote at the Akkerman get-together last week of seeing under the Supreme's wigs in the 60s, given she had the close proximity vantage point of a child looking upwards.
And, in similar vein, Dolly Parton of course...
Gary Numan
Went even further, with a a hair transplant many years ago.
But his current thatch
is a syrup, no?
Is it really?
Did the transplant not "take"?
His current industrial look is certainly quite voluminous.
David Bowie
is mentioned on http://www.rugorreal.com/ as having some sort of hair replacement. They also reckon Paul McCartney has a weave. I think maybe it just dyed...
McCartney's hair
is such a strange orangey-brown colour that I just assumed it was dyed. But maybe that's a cunning distraction … they can be very cunning can these baldies.
It's not dyed
Paul's is dead.
Paul is Dyed.
...
yes
I knew there was a good gag in there somewhere
(retires from trying to be funny as gets shown up by young Tom)
Yes to dye
All my troubles seemed... sorry.
Off the top of my head
Live and Let Dye.
Another Dye
Good Dye Sunshine
Good Dye
Hello Good Dye
Henna Pie
I'll Dye Instead
Silly Glove Songs
You see, sometimes I've watched people having their hair dyed and they often wear little plastic gloves. You see. So that's why that one is really funny.
Sigh.
I'll be over there if you need me *waves*
Eleanor
Rug buy?
Hair Today
Hair There and Everywhere?
Beyonce Knowles
I mean she's not bald or owt, but she's a serial wig-wearer.
Neil Sedaka
For years his hair receded more every time he came over for a tour.Then one year he had a magnificent head of hair. Shoulder length as I recall.
I recall Smokey Robinson appearing on a BBC show in the early 90s and he appeared to be wearing a hover wig. You know, the type that sits an inch above the head.
Yes, but Doc...
...you're talking about a Miracle. :-)
Transplant.
I am a total slaphead. recently my Doctor asked me if I had ever considered a transplant.
I told him I thought I would look a cunt with a kidney on my head.
Look, Jack...
...now you're insulting YOURSELF for God's sake! Keep it together, mate - and stay out of those empty rooms: you'll only start a fight! :-D
Was wondering...
...what's on top of Elton's head at the moment?
.
David Furnish ?
Whoops!
I actually thought of that after I posted. I'll never be godmother now...
Bruce (The Boss) Springsteen
Very probably
You mean wigs are...
...Worn In The USA?
The Edge
has a wig that looks like a beanie hat, silly bugger.
Richard Thompson's hat
When my son was eight I took him to see the Richard and Danny Thompson's Industry concert in Newcastle
He knew that Richard T was bald and at a suitable break in the concert shouted out "Take your hat off baldy". I had to cover his mouth up before he could shout it again. Mr Thompson was most bemused.
That's a
mighty fine boy you have there, Mr Rawlinson.
Why Thank You
Yes he was 22 yesterday and still unusual.
Thompson was probably trying to remember
if 'Take Your Hat Off, Baldy' was a song from Henry The Human Fly.
(It was. Track 2, Side 1.)
Did you get
the deluxe packaged edition with the hidden track, alas I didn't although I now have the fear of a whole audience shouting it out to Mr T, (thank clapton I use a pseudonym and he can't blame me)
Blackmore
Always amused me that he tried to pass it off as a transplant when it was obviously a wig. There has never been a transplant as thick and luxuriant as what suddenly appeared on his head in the late 70s.
Gene Simmons
out of Kiss.
Bret Michaels
is never seen without his bandana, prompting speculation that it's covering a rug.
