What a difference a decade makes...

The old black-and-white picture of me with my guitar that used to be above was taken in 1996. Just before I cut off all my hair I decided to take some pics of me with my hair and guitars to use for publicity. I thought, at the time, that people actually cared whether I was in metal and had long hair or not.
What’s worse is that I cared whether they cared.
Not anymore.
Though I’ve let a few pics of me post-cut get out, I never really actively sought any publicity with my current visage, until recently. Death Beast is taking off and I wanted to be able to promote it properly, including band photos. So, we decided to have a photo shoot today, and you can see one of the results above. (I uploaded two pictures here, but don’t know how to tell you to view the other - click on that one, I think…).
A few of the others are put up, bigger, on the Myspace pages for me and for Death Beast.
As for my own take on things - the hair doesn’t matter shit. I look way more metal now than I did back then. Not that I give a fuck.
And, when you think about it, THAT’s what makes it more metal. Not my ‘look’, but that I truly don’t give a fuck for your opinion. I AM WHO AM.
And if you have a problem with that, I direct you to the lower right corner of the picture.
(For those who didn’t see my old blog, the ‘new’ picture is the same as the one above here, but cropped a little differently so you can see me flipping off the camera - with my hand in the aforementioned lower right corner. Just lazy I guess. Maybe I’ll fix it some day.)
