Might be off topic but it did make me laugh.

Dennis Wilson once knocked off Mike Love's baseball cap on stage.

The late Kevin Dubrow of Quiet Riot was obvious, and Richie Blackmore for many years.I think Rob Halford of Judas Priest took the right approach with his look.

I'm beginning to wonder if Gene Simmons is wearing some kind of toupee. Look at his hair from the mid-ninties compared to the matted down look he's been sporting lately...

All of Kiss wore wigs for the reunion tour - to keep the 'illusion' alive. The fact that most of the hair looked more fake than the torsos at a porn star convention apparently didn't occur to anyone.

That's a 1st for me. I remember browsing thru a book on Bowie, which included a photo of a young David with his brother. Viewing the photo it was clear that his brother had lost hair on top, but Bowie had a full, thick head of hair.
