when did you realise you wanted dreads?

head was the other guitarist, david silvera is the drummer

head is the one who found god

I too only have the albums up to and including untouchables... i dont really rate any of their stuff after...

 

Lol I don't mean pop. Angry is fine. The album...something like In The Mirror??...just seemed so complainy

Anyway! Enough derailing sorry people with your good dready tales

 

Terry Bozzio did drums for untitled...my god that man is a bad ass!!! I have never seen a kit like that EVER!!!!!


Take a Look In the Mirror

 

Haaaa I fixed it

Sorry for the derail Think we should have a music thread since I seem to always derail with one reference about music...sorry I cant help it

 

I saw a guy at a transition meeting by me, never seen anything like it so close
Fell in love with them instantly!
This is the guy who made me decide:


3 attempts later at backcombing I now have them

 

MMMMMMMMmmmm Zack... I saw one of rage's last performances...(if not the last) at maple leaf gardens in Toronto.... They closed the building the next day.... it was way too awesome and they encourage everyone to come to the floor and "fuck security" LOL it was insane!
I still get chills when I hear the guitar at the beginning of know your enemy...bcause I picture the blacked out arena and green back lit tom morello... mmmmm...

 

I have been playing around with my hair for years, and I just wanted something different.

I actually saw my friend's hair down and curly for the first time last summer, and told her that she should definitely get dreadlocks because her hair would lock up so quickly (seriously, she's got some serious ringlets!). She said that I should get dreads if I thought they were that cool, because she didn't want to.

Later that day (week?) I researched, found out the cheapest/most natural way to do it, attempted to backcomb (ultimate fail), waited 7 months and here I am. I thoroughly enjoy my decision and my goal is to have them survive college (which would put them at the 5 year mark, or so).

 

I've wanted them since I was 13 I don't really remember what made me fall in love with them but it was most likely Korn(just a tad obsessed) or some band or something. I finally got them when I was 17 then I brushed them out and then 3 months after brushing them out I decided to do it again and have been dreaded ever since <3. Sometimes I consider taking them out again but haven't yet and hopefully I won't

 

i dont have dreads, i doubt i ever will, the only time i ever considered them is when I saw tanaleighs pics...


i love her hair!! i would hump her dreads if i could

 

untitled is great, its a lot better than see you on the other side anyways, (that album made me want to puke) I love old korn it is the best

 

I didn't want dreads simply because some popular rock band guys had them....

I was always impressed by dreadlocks, both the appearance and lifestyle- but I never seriously considered it for myself. Then my life took a turn for the worse. I began to lose motivation for life and started to deteriorate. My weight gain soared, my schooling became a complete joke, then I was arrested, my self esteem fell; I started to pick myself back up, but was arrested again. I feel further back into my lack of confidence trap. It was at this point in time I felt that I had no one to turn to. Bitterness and self-hate began to manifest.

I needed something, anything to cling to. Almost immediately after I was released, I wondered; To be dread? Ha, entertaining ignorant thought.

...I didn't just jump in on a whim like many. I waited about 4-5 months before I did anything. Luckily I did wait, otherwise I might have ended with yet another mess to clean up. TBH I don't know if I could have taken another disaster at that time in my life.

 

Are there really a lot of people who jump in on a whim like you say? It's a pretty big hair commitment; I'd be surprised if there are many who don't think it through.

 

i remember being like, 13, 14 years old, going to hippie fair and seeing all these people with amazing dreads, and not really knowing what they were and being interested.... and then sorta forgetting about it until the next year's fair rolled around.... and they i stopped going, but my sister and i would twist up all of our hair and leave it like that until it was too messy to deal with anymore....
then, didn't really think about dreads again until i hit my 20s... thought about them A LOT, like at least a year, solid, but didn't really know how to go about getting them - stumbled upon KB, finally, which was a blessing and a curse all in one cotton baggy... got my first set when i was 22 - ? i think, and i'm turning 25 in august and am into my 4th and FINAL set - there will be many a pants changing!

what was funny was that, i even had friends who i hung out with quite a bit who had dreads, and i didn't really even think about them at all... this was in my late teens.... but, eventually, it was like, yeah... i like that, i WANT that lets do it!

 

Judging by the number of waxy dreadies, I'd assume so. Google search: How to Dreadlocks. DreadHeadHQ site pops up and that's about as far as they go for any knowledge on the matter.
All assumption, of course ^^;

To be fair, the only reason I waited was because of court dates. All of this was a blessing in disguise. I needed to hit near rock bottom before I could move further. Not just in the matter of dreadlocks, but other aspects of my life as well.

 

I don't get your logic there, sorry....

 

Quite a few people here used those products....I wonder how they feel about having their dready motives all dismissed as being on a whim for that reason alone?

 

good point amy.... and really, who cares if they decided to get dreads on a whim or not? isn't it everyone's right to be able to do whatever they want with their hair and not be judged for it. to say that you have dreads or you don't and you got them this way or that way, does it really matter? you want them, you have them, awesome! yay for dreads! doesn't really matter HOW you got there

no offense intended to anyone reading this.....

 

Hm. Distaste for the new outsider?


Either way, I think you exaggerate. I did not question anyone's dready motives.
Someone may have a very notable motive for wanting dreadlocks. He can still jump in on a whim by not fully researching the process and just going with the first few things he hears. People may have good intentions- yet are simply fooled by DHHQ and KB.
I suspect most who've used wax here would tell us they wish they did a bit more research first.
But like I said, this is all an assumption. Take it as you will.

 

Sorry that is just ignorant!!!
So if you used wax that made it an impulse decision????
Nope my friend I wrestled with it for about a decade...always wanted to but never had the balls. I love they way people assume so much bullshit around here....urrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

 

Haha.
