Bands tend to develop images and fit stereotypes often associated with their specific style of music. Check out Zsolts new solo lesson, "Metallica's "One" and then think about the following questions.
When Metallica cut off all their hair, did it change how you felt about the band? Did it seem as though their style had changed as well? You can't say that image means nothing because if James came out in a skirt and heels people probably wouldn't listen as closely...or perhaps they would listen ever closer?! |

There's sure something about the looks and their image that affects the perception we get of them. I mean I can't imagine a pop band dressing as metal heads or the other way around. So yes, image definitely changes the way we perceive a band.
But in the end it's only music that matters. I guess wehn Metallica changed their look was around the time they released Load, so I guess their music also changed, and not just their looks. I liked that album, by the way. -------------------- Guitars:

Having long hair doesn't make you metal, it's what you are. If you are true metalhead, you can look whatever you want. But, since it's about showmanship on stage, you have to look cool one way or the other. If you go out in a regular clothes, well, you better show that you have originality in some other way!
