Title: Robert's new look?
Post by: Poe on May 22, 2008, 16:45:29
I believe no one's started a thread about this around here, so here we go: wish-man posted a link to a radio interview with Robert that was broadcasted on the 13th of May:

http://tinyurl.com/5s4mpk

At one point in the interview, Robert says...

"I definitely will actually, this year, I'm a 100% I'm gonna shave my head again, and when I do that I'll probably stop wearing make-up..."

...does this scare anyone else? I mean, is he gonna look...normal, now? *shudders*

He does add "I don't know, you never know" shortly aftewards, so he may not be a 100% about losing the make-up, at least, and it's not like he hasn't changed his mind about certain things before, but oh well. Maybe the old look's time has finally come. It has done a lot of good to this world. I miss it already.

no, it doesn't. i don't care what he chooses to look like.
and people change.


(i remember robert saying in some bloodflowers era magazine interview how he decided to stop wearing make-up one day and went to do a photo-shoot without make-up. but he felt really dreadful in front of the camera, like "this is somehow wrong". and so in the middle of the photo-shoot he said "hold it!" and went to put on the war-paint after all. and they started from the beginning and he felt so much better.
yet that was then - this is now?)


(besides, if he went and shaved his head, i think he'd look far from "normal" anyway  so...)

He cannot possibly look any worse than he does now.

Well, actually he can. If he shaved his head completely and put some funky tattoos on it. That would indeed look worse than his current appearence.

Well hi Anyone Else, nice to see you.  :smth047

Anyway, yes of course people change and his looks doesn't affect his music, but surely you can have a harmless opinion about it behind his back... :smth045

You don't care about what anyone else is
Don't care what they do or they say
You live your own life
In your own time
And in your own dead indifferent way
Yeah... In your own time...

Post by: rodney on May 22, 2008, 17:47:04
My wife thinks that he looks better now than he has recently.  She feels that his longer hair makes his face look thinner.  Still shorter hair and less make-up would make most any nearly 50 year old man look better.

his look is great, so why to change it  :smth017

Hi,
In my opinion, he and the Cure will stay the same.Cause the Cure is not Robert's hair. Now he is 49 and the most time in his life he has this hairstyle and so he want to change.He and his Mary must like his new hairstyle and the fans shouldn't care about it.
Title: Re: Robert's new look?
Post by: Janko on May 22, 2008, 21:00:39
I WOULD LOVE IF HE CHANGED HIS APPEARANCE
HE SHOULD DO IT BEFORE THE TOUR AND A NEW ALBUM
HE'S A 49 YEAR OLD MAN AND HE SHOULD TAKE A BETTER CARE ABOUT HIS LOOKS
EVEN MORE ABOUT HIS HEALTH AND SHAPE

ON THE OTHER HAND, SIMON...

So let's wait what he will do :)

I do like his hair though...

Post by: rubcure on May 23, 2008, 06:41:52
maybe just a little cut... like in high video will be ok; but, if he want to do that... is his hair!  8)  :smth023

and... The make up... think it twice please Robert!!

ok, even leaving the word "fashion" out (even thow the baldness horror has unfortunately become fashion) it comes down to: men with roundish, well nourished facial features uglify themselves by 1000% by shaving off their hair, I think..... if that's the intention behind it thow, then one can say: it works  :-D

ROBERT SHAVED HIS HEAD AFTER WISH AND IT'S A MIRACLE NO PICTURES LEAKED...
AND AT THE TIME PEOPLE USED TO SEE HIM AT FOOTBALL MATCHES

I THINK HE DOESNT HAVE TO SHAVE HIS HEAD, BUT I WOULD LOVE SOMETHING LIKE IN ORANGE HAIRCUT...
THAT WAS A GREAT HAIRCUT!

Anyway, for Robert and everyone else reading this, here are two clips from an old interview (posted before on this forum?): Robert talks very briefly about his make-up and hair at the end, in the second part, just in case someone hasn't seen it. He talks about more important things in life as well, sure.. Don't know where it's from, but it was filmed/broadcast in 1991, apparently. Not the best quality. Japanese subtitles. Thought it was fun:

Robert to shave his head!?

Actually this could be good news... I remember hearing or reading an interview where he said that Mary thought that he always became more agressive when he had his hair cut short. So this could mean he finally gets inspired to write the ultimate f*****-up record, the album to out-"pornographise" "Pornography"!

We must always look at the bright side of things... err, I mean, dark side, of course.  :-D

Quote from: revolt on May 23, 2008, 18:22:12I remember hearing or reading an interview where he said that Mary thought that he always became more agressive when he had his hair cut short.

It could be from Never Enough, the biography, couldn't it? Not sure. I found the quote a while back on the net, but there was no source mentioned... :?

"Mary has been the great influence in my life, the rock that stays strong when I lose my head. She noticed, for example that I become aggressive and unfriendly when I cut my hair. So I make it long."

Well, curiously enough I'm reading that biography now but I'm still in the "Faith" period, so if that reference indeed appears there I still haven´t got there... Actually it is something I read or heard a long time ago, maybe from the Disintegration or Wish period? I can´t recall, really.

Hey, I found a quote among the notes I made while reading Never Enough:

"I will most certainly not be wearing black and lipstick in 2011. That's a guarantee."
(p. 298)

I don't think Robert should shave his head, I'm not to sure he'd look good bald but I think a shorter hair cut might be needed.  Nothing to drastic, keep it long, just make it a little more neater.  His hair is just way to messy anymore but hey I still love it no matter what he decides to do!

Haha, JapaneseBaby, you did a nice job for a 2 second labor. Frankly, I don't give a shite about how he's gonna look or what he's gonna do with his hair, make-up, whatever. It may be just me, but I don't give a damn about how someone looks, especially if I'm not supposed to be attracted to him/her.  :-D
And this rule particularly applies to people who are supposed to entertain me artistically! Bob could shave his head, grow beard, wear flashy clothes and stripper shoes at the same time and I still wouldn't give a damn. So long as he would continue to make good music.

I think Robert would look horrible with a shaved head.  I personally hope he keeps his wild hair and makeup, because I love it.  But if he doesn't, it won't change how I feel about the band, of course.  I think he could use a little trim... like, to Head on the Door-ish length.  I never like it when he has the ponytail in the back, either.  Me and my little sister joke about how Mary should just scissor it off.  When we saw them in May, she turned to me and said, "Oh no!!!  The ponytail's back!  Where's Mary?"

But Robert says stuff a lot.  I love how he'll say things so definitely, and not follow through, when it comes to stuff like that.  Maybe other people find it annoying, but I think it's really funny.  Perhaps his type of humor?

My thoughts exactly. I love it when he's saying things he's not going to do. Maybe it's just this, his beautifully distorted sense of humor.

LOL!!! Japanesebaby!  I don't think Robert would completely shave is head bald.  His big hair is his style & I don't see him drastically changing it anytime soon.    Maybe he'll go short like the picture coxoxi posted.  Hmmmmmmmmm .... coxoxi, I love that picture and he is so adorable!   :smth055

I don't know.  I would imagine that it would be a nice change.  Besides, it might just be healthy for his hair in the first place.  Besides. It's just hair.  It will grow back.  It's what's inside his head, not what's on it that is important.

That being said...
Am I the only one who is simply DIEING to see what Rob looks like with his long hair all brushed back, and kept? Curiosity is killing me.

by the way i heard about some french fans who met him after the paris show. robert had washed his hair or something (after the show) and they said he looked a bit shocking, like he had not very much hair left just above his forehead, like he's balding.
so i'm not sure i'd like to see him with his hair brushed back. maybe he'd look something like this?:

Am I the only one who is simply DIEING to see what Rob looks like with his long hair all brushed back, and kept? Curiosity is killing me.

by the way i heard about some french fans who met him after the paris show. robert had washed his hair or something (after the show) and they said he looked a bit shocking, like he had not very much hair left just above his forehead, like he's balding.
so i'm not sure i'd like to see him with his hair brushed back. maybe he'd look something like this?:

(btw no offense to the guy in the pic, i've no idea who he is, just a random pic!)

Well, he had a high hairline when he was younger...Hmm....

I remember seeing a photo of his father once.  I wish I had paid attention to HIS hairline now.

Well... It doesn't matter if you are without hair or make-up,
or if you won't dye your hair anymore.
You are still Robert and we'll love you... always.
