I’m not sure what the general consensus is, but I’ve always kind of accepted that the dreads up through Psalm 69 were legit.
Sphinctour and after . . . . yeah, I’m calling CLIP ONS!
He didn’t get dreads until Psalm 69. He had that not quite as cool looking hair that he had in “Over The Shoulder” before then.
Yes, we all know when he started rocking the dreads.
What I’m calling out is WHEN they started getting . . . shall we say . . . “enhanced”.
The time I really noticed it and said, “Whoa! FAKE!!!” was the Sphinctour.
That’s AWESOME!!!
In college we found a flyer for an event at an old theatre in Sacramento. There was some classic gore movie about vampire cannibal zombie hookers or some such gibberish and it also said “Blood Jello Wrestling” and some other stuff on the flyer so we knew we had to go.
The ad said “Come dressed to KILL for $2 off”, so, yeah, we wanted to get our $2 off. We had some black and white face paint and some of the red jelly blood. I was planning to try to pull off some blackmetal corpsepaint type of motif. Well . . . as happens in college on the way to such an event . . . we got super drunk and super high. I was trying to put the makeup on in the van on the way over and I just kept getting carried away and getting out of control. Eventually I was just in blackface. Yeah, like Al Jolson style blackface.
I pulled on my beanie and was wearing a vest with no shirt and had applied a bunch of blood coming from my nipples . . . . because, yeah, what’s more hardcore than a white guy with a black face and bleeding nipples.
When we got to the box office to pay for our tickets the gal was absolutely horrified by us. She’s like, “Yeah, yeah, you get 2 bucks off, just go inside, please.”
I’m still laughing after reading that.
To make things even better . . . while we figured that everyone there would be kooks and going balls out with dressing up and being weird like us . . . nope. Just us (and a few of the organizers who were promoting the thing, but they weren’t in the audience).
The same thing happened when we went to see “Superfly” and dressed up like pimps.
