Rancid
― pplains, Tuesday, 30 June 2015 20:05 (ten years ago)
It dawns on me I have accidentally based my adult look on "Load" era Lars and/or Kirk. Whoops.

Also that Rancid photo is legit darker/grittier, maybe too dark

tbh most of these people actually do look better post-makeover. Rik Savage is almost handsome in that Def Lep photo, and, Kirk's conspicuous labret piercing aside, that second Metallica photo could be almost any band on Hydra Head or something
Also, Gary Numan looks super cool and Ian Astbury much improved without the long hair imo
