I think it would be nice to post some pictures of long haired poeple that inspired you to grow out your own mane.
For me, it would be Marco Hietala (nightwish), who also has an awesome beard:
But also Devin Townsend, depicted here in one of his crazy moods. He is half bald but still has long hair, which I think is admirable and courageous. He is one of the most creative minds out there =) An inspiring person in general.
James Hetfield from Metallica had beautiful hair when he was younger.
he is one who make me to want to have long hair :)
My inspiration would be the late 1960's-1970's period, I was a teen back then and I love looking back on that time, being influenced by clothing, music, attitudes, etc...

Alexi Laiho from the metal band Children of Bodom. He is an inspiration for me musically too. A fantastic guitarist.
oh yeah, Roope too! Too bad he's always drunk. Well he wouldn't be Roope if he wasn't drunk;).
Haha! They drink all the time, it´s hilarious. Do you have the Stockholm Live DVD? It has lots of funny clips of them partying. :D
I don't have it but I saw Chaos Ridden Years and that Trashed and lost in HElsinki or something along those lines, they were hilarious.
Devin is definitely one of mine too! I also like Max Cavalera's old hair (80s, early 90s) before he got dreadlocks.
And last but Definitely not least! Chuck Schuldiner from Death, who is also one of my biggest musical. influences. R.I.P. Brother!

Gorgoroth is so badass it hurts.
Well, I first started trying to grow my hair out when I met my friend Ian, who unfortunately I haven't seen in years. He stopped talking to people and nobody knows what happened to him. :'(
Besides that, the most inspiring thing is probably related to the fact that I watch too much anime and play too many video games. There are far more guys with long hair than short hair there! XD
I don't think it's possible to play too many video games
but if your anime is cutting into your video game time, then yeah, you're watching too much ;)

and Peter Steele (lead vocalist, bassist, and songwriter for Type O Negative)
Damn, Peter Steele is RIPPED!!!

My first inspiration to grow out my hair was Atreyu from the movie the NeverEnding Story. I saw it when I was about 14 and have wanted long hair ever since...
So if it was a never ending story why did they need a sequel?
My inpsiration for growing my hair was the Beatles (on the Ed Sullivan Show). By the time Woodstock rolled around my hair was pretty long.
Someone who inspires me is Troy Polamalu of the Pittsburg Steelers. He is a Pacific Islander. Don't have a pic but I'm sure most of you have seen him on Sundays with his long locks flowing out of his helmet. B.
I was only 10 years old, but I remember it well. Best 3 days of my life with my parents.

My inspiration for growing out my hair started with my Woodstock
experience, so I guess I should have said that about 70% of the hippies there were my inspiration and not just a single person or rock group.
I'm a huge wrestling fan. The Undertaker was my first inspiration to grow my hair out. Currently it would have to be Petey Williams.
