or do you think it does not? I always see guys with long hair headbang, oh and the occasional bald guy. Do you think it just looks stupid with short hair? or is there a way to do it? This question always puzzles me since two of my friends seem to do it but I'd just feel like I'd look a moron trying in front of them. Of course this isn't when performing, do you think at a performance it fits better? |

From my own experience, it is a lot easier to headbang with long hair. Less effort is needed to make it look cool. |

Way back in the day, I played in a super-fast hardcore band, and I slamdanced at shows. I didn't have a mohawk or buzzcut, either.

And there are plenty of African Americans I see with long hair, what the hell are you talking about?
Get out of my ****ing thread please  it's people like you who say that garbage who start racial issues, I'm simply asking a question if it takes long hair or not.

Honestly I don't think I could ever play all that well hair whipping the whole time anyway. Here is a vid of my band and you can be the judge of my short haired headbanging  http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...arch&plindex=0 |
