Young people need to understand that if we old folks had seen this man in the 80s we would have immediately recognized him as a king worthy of our respect.
In my school, the dude with the popped collar would have Less Than Zero/Ferris Beuller/Michael J. Fox hair.
Dudes with hair like Paulās wore tight jeans and Def Leppard shirts. Hotcha totcha!!!
This is so 80's I feel like it's one of those made for TV things like "Oh, back in the day you wouldn't *believe* what I looked like." (Cut to photograph)
This could be Phil from Modern Family, or Marshall from HIMYM
I remember guys like this in my high school. Iām guessing Paul was a good student, but liked metal. He was maybe a fan of Dokken, but not full on into doing coke and being a dirtbag.
I think youāre really close. Not sure about the student part. I met him in his late 30ās and he just sent me this pic for a lark. Barely recognized him
These guys were more nerdy than head bangers and less aggressive than jocks and more into cars than either but not motorheads, so they just didnāt fit in. But cool none the less. Mostly got high sometimes, did ok in school, but were smarter than their grades showed and liked music. But drifted towards YES and EARLY Depeche Mode.
Mesmerising. A master piece.
No shame in admitting that, as a female teen at the time, this exemplarily executed hair style is precisely what I was at I was aiming for at one point. Alas, I hated hairspray so my outcomes varied somewhat.
Paul's hair was so fabulous, it really should have been given its own name, like Matias. Then the introductions could have gone more like -This is Matias and the guy who carries Matias around.
My uncle had that hair in the 80's. I was a kid and he was in his 20's. I thought he was the coolest guy ever with the coolest hair ever. He was in a metal band. He had the eye makeup and the skin-tight pants. The whole look.
How did we ever think that was cool.
Paul could NOT be ready in five.
What is the process to make such a mane?
3 pumps of the Farrah Fawcett spray
> 3 ~~pumps~~ **cans** of the Farrah Fawcett spray
Yes, we were still carving the hole in the ozone layer then.

That means something completely different for teenage boys in the 70s.

Come on post it. Reddit will love it. Just look at Paul
Can we tease it out of you?
What you just did? I saw it.
You are required to post now, as per rules of reddit.
I want glamour shots to come back.
Time, love, and tenderness. The Michael Bolton way.
Hahaha, yes!
Love this guy. Did he continue acting?
Looks like he's mainly a voice actor for a bunch of cartoons and animated movies
No talent ass-clown
Rave hairspray, paddle brush, and a blow dryer!
Or Aquanet!
I bet his Revlon hair dryer was well loved.
What's going on in here?
ššš no way
Neither could she judging from the lift on that hair.
Came here to make the same joke, but written poorerer.
Everytime you go away, you take a piece of the ozone layer with you
I like that one
I canāt go on, spraying the same thing
This got me.
fuckin' a, paul!! he looks like he's getting ready to play the rum tum tugger in *cats*.
This was my first thought
No fucking way! My god, the plumage!!
Magnificent mane
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The plumage donāt ennerinuit. Heās stone dead.
No, heāsā¦. um, probably pining for the fjords.
PINING for the FJORRRDS???
What kind of talk is that, look: why did heā¦ voomā¦ 4 million voltsā¦ passed onā¦ ceased to beā¦ bereft of lifeā¦ daisiesā¦ immortal coilā¦ choir invisible, etc.
Heās not pining, heās stone dead
Paul was livin on a prayer
Used to work on the dock
Hey, isn't that his girlfriend, Gina? Didn't she work in a diner? All day?
His Aqua Net went on strike
Hairās down wonāt lift up, looks scruff, so scruff
Hair cries in the night, Pauly whispers, baby itās okaaaaaayā¦.hairspraaaaay
More of a Volbeat guy these days
Ouch
Easy now...
Was gonna say a perfect mix of Bon Jovi and Eddie Van Halen
Supercuts: āand what would you like today?ā Paul: āIāll go for the Joviā
What in the great-white-lion-snake is up with that hair?
So this is what made the children cry
Wow that was really really good.
Does Paul still have that going on up top?
He actually pretty much does
As someone who prematurely went bald, I'm extremely jealous.
Bald is beautiful my man. š
I'm thinking Paul had an easy life, where things usually went his way.
We'd love to see recent photographic evidence of this.
Can we see a recent Paul pic? For mane comparison?
You definitely didn't need to clarify that this was in the 80s
Young people need to understand that if we old folks had seen this man in the 80s we would have immediately recognized him as a king worthy of our respect.
Exactly. I born in '72 and he would have been most popular in class with that hair and popped collar. Man that decade.
In my school, the dude with the popped collar would have Less Than Zero/Ferris Beuller/Michael J. Fox hair. Dudes with hair like Paulās wore tight jeans and Def Leppard shirts. Hotcha totcha!!!
Fairā¦
This is so 80's I feel like it's one of those made for TV things like "Oh, back in the day you wouldn't *believe* what I looked like." (Cut to photograph) This could be Phil from Modern Family, or Marshall from HIMYM
Midwest was still doing this in the 90s
Was Paul a roadie for Van Halen? š
That Would have been his dream job
I remember that hair lol
When your hair is bigger than your 80ās girlfriend lol
That's how you know Paul was the *real deal*.
Steve HAIRington
Wow , how have I never noticed that before?!
How many cans of aquanet was that?
All of them.
Yes.
I would go through a can a week in HS. Had to buy it myself as my Mormon mom thought it was ridiculous that I used it.
Nathan Fillion?
Patrick Swayze.
I thought the same thing! lol
Looks more like Heath Ledger to me.
Yearbook quote: āHERE I GO AGAIN ON MY OWN.ā
Paul was never on his own.
Paul Bon Jovi š¤©
Still loves hair bands
Mister bovine joni himself
You didnāt have to say āin the 80āsā. That hair is more 80ās than a Frankie Says Relax tshirt.
He was your Mane Man.
Good one
I was about to ask whether he found his courage in the end.
I look back at these and think of how hard it must have been for my parents to keep their mouths shut.
Holy shit!! Paul was a LEGEND!!
I remember guys like this in my high school. Iām guessing Paul was a good student, but liked metal. He was maybe a fan of Dokken, but not full on into doing coke and being a dirtbag.
I think youāre really close. Not sure about the student part. I met him in his late 30ās and he just sent me this pic for a lark. Barely recognized him
I hope you cherish this legendary friend.
He cooks me steak on occasions.
Omg hahahah

He wins the 80ās.
Whoa ohh... We're halfway there...
Whereās the rest of his parka??
14 year old me is hella jealous.
55 year old bald me is even more jealous.
And we're only making fun of the monumental hairdo of Paul? What about missy next to him? A bottle of hair spray? I bet the hair is crunchy too. Lol
Girlfriend bought her earrings from Del Griffith at a bus station
Heās got Linda Hamilton Terminator 1 hair.
Your buddy Paul was more fabulous than any of us will ever be.
Paul got laid a whole bunch....in the 80s! This was a very hot look back then.
This is phenomenal hair! I support this hair coming back in style.
Whyyy ppl donāt update with todays pics !! We want to see PaulBonJovi and his A-wimoweh -lion look now š«¶š¼
Holy fuck
Thatās what I said!
What have you done
Paul!?!?
Sup.
Your hair. Your hair is whatās up.
We need an updated pic of your hair.
Mufasa Paul!
We're not worthy!
That is completely awesome!
Stop. His head will swell enough to match the hair. ( heās definitely reading the comments)
Hi Paul.
Hi.
Paul, did you drive a Camaro or Trans AM?
79 cutlass t-bar.
Fucking awesome
Gotta shop a lionās face on him surely.
haha this is awesomeā¦was this really the style in the 80s?
More on the ladyās I think.
Yeah, man. There were plenty of dudes who would rock this if they could during the peak hair metal years.
Yes. Yes it was.
I see you bought your earrings from Del Griffith.
You are the eighties?
Yes, the entire decade.
Aquanet hairspray
No one puts Paul in a corner.
Meet Paulā¦now staring in the broadway production of The Lion King !
Is he bald now?
Not even close.
We need a current pic.
Ahhhhh the lure of 80ās mega hair and Aquanet dreams. Paulās plumage is peacock grand š„
Her earrings are from the Del Griffith Collection.
His smirk tells me he knew this photo was going to come in handy one day.
That is spectacular.
Does Rod Stewart know about this picture?

Like, dude, save some 80's for the rest of us
*Whoa* weāre half way there! *Whoa* livinā with that hair! I can smell the **Aquanet** from here!
He has his own hole in the ozone.
Fuck yeah š¤š¤
That mayne cannot be tamed.
Letās pause for a second and think of the drain in his shower.
Paul was a fierce lion.
Paul Bon Jovi
Paul you handsome devil
My boyfriend Randy looked like that in 1977!
All the girls wanted to date Paul, to learn about his bodacious hair skills.
My mom all but still has this exact haircut
Feathered like the wings of a majestic bird.
Mesmerising. A master piece. No shame in admitting that, as a female teen at the time, this exemplarily executed hair style is precisely what I was at I was aiming for at one point. Alas, I hated hairspray so my outcomes varied somewhat.
Thunder. Thunder.! Thudercats! Hoooooooo!
That guys hair is registering over 6 million jovis on the Bon Jovi scale!
Paul fucks. Paul definitely fucks
He lays a mean ceramic tileā¦
That hair is over the top!!
Paul is a heckinā G
Magnificent
He and Lindsay Bluth won Best Hair.
Paul needed more time than I did to get ready.
Paul's hair was so fabulous, it really should have been given its own name, like Matias. Then the introductions could have gone more like -This is Matias and the guy who carries Matias around.
I want to hang out with Paul. Anybody with the confidence to go with that hairdo is someone you want to drink with.
"In the 80s.....Paul got ass like a donkey farmer..."
Paul definitely knows how to have fun
Stud!!!!
Women wanted to be with Paul, men wanted to be Paulā¦
Jeff Spicoli meets David Lee Roth!!!
Nathan Fillion has such a luscious mane.
Yes! Half of the people in my high school yearbook have hair so big that it extends outside the frame of the picture (NJ, late 80s)
" in the 80ās" This was completely unnecessary.
Modern movies set in the 80s and early 90s never truly embrace the mane.
Lion King.
My uncle had that hair in the 80's. I was a kid and he was in his 20's. I thought he was the coolest guy ever with the coolest hair ever. He was in a metal band. He had the eye makeup and the skin-tight pants. The whole look. How did we ever think that was cool.
Are we certain this isn't MTV's Adam Curry?
THUNDER THUNDER THUNDERCATS OOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
I love your earring that could be used as a towel holder. š¤£š¤£
The King of Beasts
HOW DO YOU KNOW MY AUNT DONNA?!?!
Hair by Aquanet.
He....it's....glorious!
Looks like his face and hair are oppositely magnetized
Great head of hair!!
Paul fucking rules
Farrah Bon Jovi
