I think they looked much more imposing with their long hair.
I think I remembered them saying somewhere that it was time for a change. It happens.
Metallica was good in the '80s, one of the best hair metal bands. And Justice For All was around their peak. They lost a little of their creative edge on the black album, and since then it's been downhill hard and fast. Short hair fits in perfectly with their new lame sound. All IMO. But seriously they suck.
Thank you for your informative insight, profundity of presentation, and original perspective, you genius of a music critic, you. You have just proven to the members of this board that you are incapable of rendering a relevant answer to a simple question; one I have already answered adequately. Have a nice evening.
metallica was far from hair metal
Well not to say anything like bragging, but I have studied Metallica very thoroughly.. and what I think is that just as the 90's came and they changed their style of music, they wanted a change.. they had long hair for so long, maybe wanted short hair for a bit.. (kirk grew his hair back pretty quickly :P guess he didnt like short hair too much.. and james isnt really short anymore.. jason was just a dookie!)
Not to say they sold out(even though they kinda did.. especially these days, and with the Madly in anger with the world tour they had recently.. i actually went to a concert from it)But they kind of did, not even just with the hair.. they wanted more money and were getting snooty with the concerts haha
I still love Metallica no matter what and you shouldnt really ridicule them for cutting their hair.. They have been around for over 20 years.. changes are needed :P
Its life
Jaymez hair is NOT long at all. Take a look at his latest european tour pictures and he has it shaved almost bald!
Imposing is good?
A bad decision while in a drug induced stupor?
That or a bad decision while in a money induced stupor (gotta' follow the trends so you can sell even more records, right?).
