no shave zz (July 3, 2012)

No amount of money will get ZZ Top guitarist Billy Gibbons to whack off his world famous whiskers. Gillette once offered Gibbons and bassist Dusty Hill $1 million to shave off their beards for a razor commercial, but they turned them down flat. And Gibbons told BraveWords.com he’d tell Gillette to take a hike again if they asked. He said, “Even adjusted for inflation, this isn’t going to fly. The prospect of seeing oneself in the mirror clean-shaven is too close to a Vincent Price film. It’s a prospect not to be contemplated – no matter the compensation.”
