Elton John is sick, SICK I SAY, of American rock bands’ tattoos and piercings. He’d like them to ditch their lives as fashion criminals and “adopt the cutting-edge, glam-rock style made popular by his peers”, namely Lance Bass of Insync.
“It’s been a thing the British have always been very good at, with Bowie, myself, T.Rex, the Who, Queen. … We all embraced that side of it,…
…I’m so over the tattoos and the T-shirts and rings through the noses. It’s not pretty, it’s not pleasant, it’s not exciting. Please stop it now.”
I’ll agree with Sir Elton here, the tats and wayward piercings on a guy aren’t cool. But a strategically placed piercings, or a dozen, is kind of sexy, in a naughty super-freak kind of way. But alas poor piercings, we knew the well, Christina has dropped the last of the dirty dozen (piercings) out of respect for her husband, so long right nipple ring, it was fun while it lasted.
One the up side though, famed British Rocker Pete Doherty’s fashion choices have worked out for well for him, he’s hot in a cracked out pre-op-tranny kind of way, if you like that sort of thing. R. Kelly followed in Gary Glitter’s footsteps and it’s done wonders for his career.
Aren’t these two casualties of British Rocker emulation enough or does he expect British Rocker world domination? Maybe we could get the Monkees back together for another reunion tour, sure they aren’t all Brits, but they’re close enough right?

Uh, this is a guy who used to wear a damn Donald Duck suit on stage. He’s in no shape to badrap anyone else about their fashion choices.
Babyspatters sucks babyballs. Doherty’s main piercings seem to be his trackmarks from his lastest fix.
That guy should definitely make the career move of early suicide/death by O.D. to cement his legend now, before he becomes a used up-weathered old crone-like junkie ala Keith Richard. He probably has like a 6 month window of opportunity there.
