I play fretted and fretless with and/or w/o a pick, different situations call for a different approach. My main bass is a fretless tho.
Fretless is classy as hell, it's almost like playing an actual classical instrument! *gasp*

Style points for that shit!

And long hair is a standard thing, and I personally think it looks cooler. Although it shouldn't really matter if you can play your instrument, especially when a lot of bands these days have short hair all around.
I think the biggest negative to a short haired metal dude is when somebody gets onstage with short hair and starts to do "Windmill" headbanging,like your supposed to pretend they have long hair?

Ive seen that in so many shitty metalcore opening acts it's retarded.

I think the best way to not have long hair in metal is to cut it pretty damn short or just kind of grow it long but put it in a small ponytail stub thing like the live bassist from Mutiilation
Trym from Emperor has it down

but he's one of the few

Yeah,He used to have long hair though,but he looked like a fag
I think also Wlad Drakksteim from Vlad Tepes had short hair when the band first started but later grew it out..So two LLN guys and Trym

Plus the Bald Dissection guy,He went bald later before he killed himself.

I don't think we are talking about it compared to musical ability,We are kind of just naming people with short hair now

I don't doubt it. He has a kid now. Kids and long hair don't mix.
