One VERY GOOD reason why photoshop should be banned...

Found this on a KISS website...of all places. This is just... WRONG! Ahem... it is photoshop...right?

No, that's just what a 57 year old man looks like before he puts on his halloween costume.

He looks like one of those prissy butlers on a Disney Channel teen show.

[Riffster]

no way would he allow that picture to be taken

As old time rock stars get older and older and some keep their long hair I think they look more and more pathetic.

Stanley looks good this way, imo

He looks like a man rather then a man pretending to be a teenager.

I kind of admire him for admitting his age and being cool with it. The last time I saw the KISS guys up close they looked kind of silly in all that get-up with their jowels flopping around underneath all the whiteface.

Connery went bald and no one blinked. He wore rugs in roles when needed. And he is THE man's man.

Remember when Metalica cut their hair ?

At the time everyone said it was the worst thing they could do.

Today they're highly respected for doing it and it put them in the rock legend catagory - instead of the washed up 80's hair metal band catagory.

Paul Stanley: I Don’t Wear A Wig

Christie Eliezer of Australia’s Beat magazine caught up with KISS frontman Paul Stanley and bravely asked if he wears a wig. “No. But it’s interesting when I hear things like that,” Stanley responded. “It goes back to a superficial sense of what makes rock credible. That’s why the Kurt Cobains and Keith Richards are so appealing to a critic. They think they’re the real thing. You lie vicariously through them until they kill themselves. So if someone is bald and wears a wig, they can’t be the real thing. Or you can’t play great rock if you’re rich. These are creeds started by frustrated journalists!”

back in what...1997ish, KISS did that MadTV Halloween special.
Paul was on there for a very brief cameo in a skit ...without his long black hair. He sported a very short, bleached crewcut. I never got the full story on it.
Seeing this pic, heck, I'd believe it and it's a good look for him.
Long black hair is for the stage show; he's got a real life outside of work too ya know.
I say we ask Mythbusters to bust this one. lol

If it's a Photoshop fake, it's one of the best I've seen. It looks very real.

a) With all respect it seems you don't much about the capabilities of photoshop...it's a very accomplished artform that can EASILY
do stuff like what that job was attempting to accomplish.

b) That's a far away version of the "splice". It's EASY (comparitively)
to make a job look "real" at that distance. I saw the job
closer up on another site...it's actually a kinda sloppy
photoshop job, the flesh tints don't match too much.

I don't see anything wrong with that picture ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

Like johnny storm said...it's a 57 year old man in civilian clothing.

Stanley's KISS persona is just that...a fictional character with a costume.

This is definitely a wig...or at the very least...extensions (even in his younger days):



Nowadays...his hair has obviously receded...even when long:
