Category Archives: Joe Lynn Turner

You may or may not be familiar with the name Joe Lynn Turner, but in the hard rock, heavy metal world, Joe Lynn is a rock God. An accomplished guitarist but better known for his screaming lead vocals, Joe Lynn Turner has fronted some very successful bands in the 70′s and 80′s. Rainbow and Deep Purple are the two he is best known for. He also enjoyed some success as a solo artist. But besides his musical talents, Joe Lynn is also well known for his removable, extra super thick head of hair; it’s his trademark. One can describe it as an amazing mane only seen on wild animals that roam the African plains. We tried to find a picture of Joe Lynn where he made the move from the thinning haired rock star to a Samson-haired rock god, but we couldn’t find one. It looks like Joe Lynn has had this massively thick thing on his head for decades; we hope he washes it occasionally. Now 60 years old, Joe still has hair that’s thicker and fuller than a 16 year old girl’s. This amazing helmet of hair seems to mostly sprout from one side of his head and form a giant wave of thick locks all the way to the other. The thing has a life of its own, but all kidding aside… we have to give props to Joe Lynn. It takes a huge set of gonads to throw a huge ridiculous wig on your head and then get up on stage in front of thousands of people and pretend no one notices. We salute you Joe Lynn. Keep rocking that wig brother!
