As you've probably noticed, (one of our) favorite guitarist(s) has been rocking pure white hair for the past several years, and it's been getting increasingly thin. A lot of his scalp is really starting to show.
Question is, does he still pull it off? I think he does, but I don't know how long he'll be able to keep it up while still looking self-respecting.
I think Brian's hair still looks alright. Really I find it hard to imagine him without the hair... even though I've seen the old photos of him without it.
Think he's embracing his stature as an "elder" and doing it gracefully.
Kinda ridiculous being an old guy and hiding it.
Ifv they had stayed in the ZANDRA RHODES get up from the seventies and been like TODD RUNDGREN then it might work to truly truly dress up as an aging QUEEN ... but since Freddie and everybody else in the band transitioned. ...its really not important.
He's a brilliant mind and a famed influential and great guitarist... I LIKE what he's doing

I think a little black rinse would have helped, the grey look makes him look very old.Mind you he is the only member of Queen who has never changed his hair style.

I've actually never thought about that. I guess he's come too far to change it now.
Pretty much. I believe I've read something where he said that he felt if he just went and cut it like he'd be backing away from something. I think basically what happened is decades ago is he thought to himself, "What if I just grew my hair out and kept that for as long as I possibly could?" And then he was all like, link
And a man doesn't back away from a challenge.
Had a bizarre dream about this and itsc something probably the furthest from my mind.
Brian was doing an appearance in store somewhere..... but when I saw him he lookedc terrible. ...YNGWIE MALMSTEEN terrible.
Hunched and heavy. ...much worse... the top oud his head was bald but he'd had hairplugs put in for a faux hawkb within the bald crown.
Then I heard someone say no that's not brian that s his brother Harold.
Once I realized he had no brother Harold I woke up and laughed.
Why on earth was I thinking of Queen?
Could have been the karaoke dj with the horrible rug on his head
"I believe I've read something where he said that he felt if he just went and cut it like he'd be backing away from something"
On the contrary I think he'd be moving forward into pastures new.
You're never too old for that.
Memory Lane is a great place to visit but you shouldn't live there.

Maybe encore with 'Delilah'.
I'd pay to see that.
I LOVE Delilah. ..
Front row and center with you, bro!!!!!!!!!
Am I the only one who thought his hair turning grey was really sudden? I sort of suspect that it had been going grey for a while, and eventually he just decided to stop dying it black, resulting in a very sudden change as far as the public can see.

Yeah, I noticed that too. One day I was checking out his soapbox and was like, "Oh, his hair's going gray." Then suddenly it's white.
Yep, no doubt about it! He hid it for a few or maybe more years, and then decided to go natural. It sort of seems appropriate in a way cos Brian always seemed to me to have that hippie look going because of his long hair. And what hippie would die their hair? ....lol.
