It was understandable why Billy shaved his head in the first place; he was going bald in his late 20s. But now it just gives a "old dude trying to hold on to his youth" vibe. Especially when he's dating girls half his age. He doesn't seem comfortable with growing old at all.

I really think Billy needs to let his remaining hair grow. For the sake of his career.

Are you bald? Did I touch a nerve?

Young dudes take charge of their baldness by shaving it all off.

Old dudes take charge of their baldness by not giving a fuck.

If billy had seen this thread 4 years ago, this might have been a reality in 2014. let's push to make it happen for 2018!!!!1


thread should be a poll. we need to find out what the community thinks about what kind of haircut billy should sport.
I'm going to 2nd the skullet. like Dennis Flemion

here's some face swaps I just did to get the thread going!

He was NOT "going bald", he had perfect hair in the "Siamese Dream" era!

He shaved his head in order to have a cooler image and he specifically said that in an interview.

I wouldn't care about this but why the revisionist history?

Can you produce ONE picture as evidence that Billy Corgan was "going bald"?

No, show me one picture as evidence. With google search it should be a piece of cake.

After all, he could have been going bald and using the "cool look" as a cover story so I'm a little interested.

Still, I want to see the evidence.

You don't even care about whether that claim is true?

Let me tell you:

It's relevant to the discussion because if you're wrong about him "going bald" back then then it's possible that if he grew his hair out now it may be totally normal now.

Look, December 1994, I see NO SIGNS of baldness, you?

in this late 1995 bwbw video you can see the effect of his receding hairline has on his thinning widows peak
http://i.imgur.com/QTd5xBX.jpg
and that's with them trying to cover it up...

in this shot of the 33 video you can see how thin it would have been late 1996
http://i.imgur.com/8mJNCtQ.jpg

and in case you're blind here's an otuline of what's left in that same picture;
http://i.imgur.com/E5kOGf8.jpg

zwan era?:
that widows peak is completely gone, and his line has moved back another inch...
http://i.imgur.com/DDwiOr4.jpg

and even further back in 2010...
http://i.imgur.com/Cy90cIU.jpg




he's not bald, he's just got a severe & embarrassing receding hairline
& that's why I think he should own it and grow a skullet.

So, according to you I joined this site when I was about 5 years old. You just don't give a fuck about truth at all do you?

That's at least something but that particular music video was full of fast cuts and blurry effects, here's a picture I think refutes what you're saying:

http://weezerpedia.com/foppery/wp-co...m_L110309.jpeg

He's wearing the Zero shirt so it's from the same time period, perfect hair.

And another:

Your hostility about nonsense is in no way the behaviour of an adult. Unless you have some mental condition. If you are above the age of 18, see doctor.

I absolutely have the truth on my side at least in the sense that Corgan said the reason he shaved his head was for a "cool look"...again I'm open to that being a cover story.

But, I want photographic evidence for the "going bald" theory. Why is any of that immature?

those pictures don't refute what I said at all
In the booket pic a stylist clearly did his best to place his hair accordingly, they chose 1 shot of a thousand, they're not going to use one where his balding is showing.
In the live pic it looks to me like he's holding on to thin scrapes in the front. his periorbital fields are clearly balding imho
as you can see in the pic from the 33 video, he's not bald, but it's fucking thin, and that's just a year later.
he knows his family genes, he knew what was coming and how long he could hold onto the thin scraps up top.

SP Fan who argues that Billy was not balding in 1995 is silly.
Especially when their proof is obviously showing billy as someone struggling with his hair.

Billy shaved his head because he was tired of dealing with the stress of balding. In this famous quote he explains:

Quote:
"I just got so sick of worrying about appearance that by shaving my hair completely de-emphases the way I look. I kind of subscribe to the Einstein theory that the less you have to think about the more upwards you become."

So, you're gonna claim that anything like the following was airbrushed?

if you look at that picture and don't see a receding hairline, I can't help you anymore.





If Pickles in Metalocalypse can rock a skullet, I think billy can get away with it too.

That IS a receeding hair line you retard. Balding doesn't happen all at once.

I heard what he said about why he shaved his head in an interview a long time ago.

Corgan's famous for changing his stories and bullshitting anyways so does it even matter?

Look, I see ZERO signs of balding in many of these pics but I guess they were all air-brushed, I'm not buying that.

Thanks for the pics. I think there was a show or two where Billy initially buzzed his hair really short before going the whole hog with a razor, and it was pretty clear how thin it was on top. Also: morespsoon is a fucking moron.

Anyhoo...


Billy growing his hair is the symbolic gesture his career needs right now. Corgan Skullet '14.

I think the hairline is in exactly the same place as it was in December 1994. It's neither receding or unusual in my opinion:

that's not airbrush, it's just the way he's combing it to deal with what's thinning.

in THIS fucking pic from the 33 video: late 1996. (single was released nov 11 1996, safe to say the video shot around same time? 13 months after the release of the bullet single)
