I found this post about the relationship between Metallica’s songwriting ability and the length of their hair over at The Gauntlet. It is a most interesting correlation.
Then it made me think–personally, I see much the same pattern with Bon Jovi and a lot of the other hair bands as well. Ultimately, the worst album Jon ever made is Destination Anywhere, which he did while completely scalped.
Then again, on the other hand, we have Crush, which was also made while Jon had short hair. Of course, I think the secret isn’t so much length as it is the total rock-ness of the haircut. Jon’s hair during the Crush era was good, and the hair during Destination Anywhere was just awful.
What do you think? Do you see the same pattern going on here? Or am I nuts?
