Fair enough.
Maybe he doesn't really like beards then?

Then he would be self loathing. Perhaps we have discovered some deep rooted childhood probloms. I knew this thread was a good idea.

@ Urban, thats a good example. Tonight when I get home I am going to browse in some more depth and find exactly how many pictures have a bearded Beard. That I believe is there first album so he probably wasnt thinking straight at the time. And by the second album chopped that off.

Quite possible. I have a last name that people have remarked on my whole life. It gets annoying.
But Frank Beard would be in a no-win situation... I mean... if he doesn't have a beard, people remark on it. If he does, people remark on it.

I should start a similar thread on Michael Ball.

Finding those pictures will prove difficult.

Me too, and what worse than hearing it over and over again is that they think they're being clever and are the first ones to think of it and expect me to find what they said as humorous.

Any theories or facts/rumors would be very welcome.

I know something about this, because when I was a kid back in 80`s there used to be a music show on TV here in the UK on a Friday afternoon/evening called "The Tube", which used to feature a vast array of bands who performed a set of between maybe 3 to 6 songs each and most of these bands would also be interviewed as well. I remember ZZ Top being on there around 83 and 84 to promote their Eliminator album and also watching their interview. I specifically remember the interviewer asking Frank Beard why he didn`t have a beard and his reply was that when Billy and Dusty started to grow theirs back in the 70`s he did as well, but the problem was that his beard looked **** and didn`t grow thick and lush like theirs, so he decided to shave it off and never attempted to grow one again.

And that was the starightforward response he gave.

ZZ Top was trying to be funny. they failed. however if they ever see this thread i'm sure they'll laugh their asses off

look, Frank Beard doesn't have a beard merely because Dusty doesn't live on a hill nor does Billy hang out with Gibbons

and lay off one of my fave groups of all time

if you wanna make fun of a group, make fun of Oasis or Motorhead
