@skate4lifebit No, of course it's not all about looks, and Emil could still shred if he was playing polka music with cornrows & no eyebrows. But the fact of history is that when heavy metal bands/players cut their hair, a stylistic change often comes soon after. One example would be Metallica, but there are plenty others.
Yes Emil ROCKS!
beard or not, this guy has a real charisma !!!
Very nice impro, thx for sharing this ;)
Emil is a truly unique player...By the way what a beard!!!!:)Reminds 19th century!(or beatniks' generation to say the least!)
I want to hear Mike's solo from this!
Even in blues he can't help but to shred like crazy lol.
@JoeGibb I agree with you, haha it is what it is mate.
@BassWhiz92 Dead on! I wonder if he likes bowling.
I love Emil but this isn't blues. Hear for the gaps in the backing band and all you hear is jazz.
Why do all great metal-ers cut their hair? He used to have epic headbanger hair.
I wish I could grow a beard like that.
