I just saw on their website that Rob Trujillo formerly of Suicidal Tendencies has joined Metallica. They have a few pictures of him on the site and it appears he has great, thick hair. It's hard to tell how long it is but appears to be at least of medium length.
Jason Newsted was the only one that kept all of his hair. With his great hairline it was a shame when he cut it short before leaving Metallica.
Whu?

Dude, not even! It was Newsted who was the FIRST band member to cut his hair. The rest of the band followed. He was in the process of growing it back before he left Selloutica.
I hope the band's new album sells miserably. After the stunt they pulled with the whole Napster deal, I certainly will have nothing to do with them anymore. They even sued individual fans of the band. How low-life can you get.
They're a bunch of gredy sell-outs! And that's the REAL reason Newsted left the band! Metallica is "do as James and Lars says or leave". Kirk Hammet is a sheep. Newsted isn't.

As I remember, Newstead has been keeping his hair short for years and was instrumental in bringing the undercut into vogue with metalheads when he started wearing it as they got really popular in the early to mid 90's.

I know Jason was the first. He did it in 1994 for the Woodstock festival. He was the only one who didn't have any hair loss so it was too bad to see him trim his hair off.
Hammett has regrown his but it is only a shadow on what it once was because of his considerable hair loss.
