That would be the ultimate set crashing. Get up on stage, grab his doo rag and dreads and just run like the wind and stage dive the heck outta Dodge.
This went through my mind as soon as I saw the pic. I wish I could put this on my bucket list, but there’s no tour.
Dude. Amazing. I like how his hair looks like a woven backet now too.
i know this is old joke, but it still cracks me up
What are you, six?
Late,

I mean, if you don’t have an actual response and are at a loss for words don’t settle for something like that, man.

yeah, he does look pretty young sometimes. that’s a good picture of him. not all the time, though.
Totally. That’s why it caught me off guard. I don’t know if you saw the clip of him jamming with Mikey and the Del Rio band or whatever they were called, playing “Barrio Blues”. He looked like an 80 year old man at that time, and honestly, he doesn’t usually strike me as young looking.
you could REALLY see the extensions in that picture. makes me really wonder how al looks like without that stupid bandana/fake dreads.
Yeah, I noticed that too.
In “FIX” there are some shots, I believe, without a hat or scarf on his head and it is really thin on top . . . . almost 20 years later I can only imagine how it is now.[/reply]
He really should just shave his head instead of acquiring all of the head and facial accessories along with the dreads. It only adds more attention to it and makes you wonder what he looks like without some sort of headgear on.
He could always go back to this look again:
Though I’m not sure that his head is completely shaved but you get the idea.
whats the big deal with everyone wanting Al to take of the head gear. it’s his image and it works for him.if he likes it , that’s all that matters.it’s almost like telling Slash to take off that dumb top hat.
if its between al in bandana and other head gear…
i prefer that chicago policeman hat thing…
he was using somethign like this alot in some periods
True dat! The Psalm69 era Al with the policeman hat and motorcycle boots is to me the most iconic Jourgensen image.
And why are we obsessed with pulling off his doo rag or dreads? Because it’s funny, that’s why! Anytime you see a guy with a bad toupee don’t you just say a quiet little prayer hoping that a seagull will swoop down and grab it? I know I do. Same thing.
I don’t wish Al harm or violence. But baldness, especially when people desperately try to hide it, is comedy.

ok,no I didn’t…
i think Al looked in his prime during the 2003 years.
gotee,bandana,and no dreads a little chubby and having fun.
Being a “celebrity” (or at least a celebrity to us) does kind of put him in that no-win world where anything he does is gonna be picked apart. I remember a number of people commenting on how bloated and fat he was.
Then more recently it was back to “OMG he’s so skinny! He looks like he’s gonna die.”
I love when you guys go on your cute little fangirl tangents about Al’s appearance.

thats kind of true and all but come on:
that was over a course of ~8 years (2005-2013)
now lets slice other ~8 years - how much different stuff he put out, lets say from 1984 to 1992, constantly changing - from “all day” to “n.w.o” - not to mention whole bunch of side projects - revco and lard being the biggest.
sure you can sample other 8 years and get less impressive results. and ofc that was then and this is now. it was also weird how every other album he had a story how he almost died… first spider bite or something, then he damaged the toe, then the ulcers thing happened, its so fucking weird. and if you check out the interviews i mean he now says some really mundane stupid shit with lame jokes.
oh yea - latest example is when people on this board saw some pix and there was couple videos of making of relapse where he was drunk, and with all the new piercings he had - people went like whoa, what the fuck is that? and why wouldn’t they - in 92-96 he looked badass and kind of scary actually, even tho he was skinny as fuck.
what im kind of trying to say that the ‘quality’ of the latest output may also affect the overall opinion about a person. or something…
I think Al’s least productive eight years were from '56-66. I mean, what the fuck, he didn’t really do any music. Fucking junky.

True! He looked super small too and could hardly even speak or walk in those early years. Crawling around and crapping himself like a complete degenerate!

Keep dressing up like a half-assed Marilyn Manson and then get snarky when people discuss a musician’s (who clearly puts a lot of fucking effort into it) appearance.

Oh wow I hit a nerve. Who are you anyway? A novice to the forum? You are awfully cantankerous.

The cop hat was cooler. Sometimes I like to think he got it from the Thrill Kill Kult, but then there’s that Twitch promo pic. I sometimes rock the cop hat myself. Most people like it - one even gave the Ministry nod - but then there’s the ones that don’t get it. One guy said I look like a member of The Village People, and a random chick came up to me and said “looks like a limo driver.” Those were both pretty irritating, especially the limo driver comment. The funniest one came from my dad who just told me I look gay.

I believe that was Filth Pig. Any Psalm 69 footage I see he’s got the cowboy hat.
