i was thinking today, Adam keeps going back and forth between really blond (pretty much white) hair and brwon hair. which is his natural?? early boy-oct days he had the big white fro, then the curly brown hair of UF, and short brown of JT-RH, then onto white for zootv, white for popmart, brown for elevation, and now white again for vertigo. boy, that's alot of flip-flopping.

as for his body, am i the only one who sees a DRAMATIC change from UF to JT?? i can believe it's the same guy. in UF days he is a bulkyier guy with more meat on him. during JT he is the thinnest, scrawniest guy i've ever seen. what happened? you can even notice it in his face. my first guess was (unfortunatly) the possible use of drugs. i only say that cuz i know adam was a pretty wild guy and i know certain drugs cause drastic weight loss. i don't want to start any rumors or problems (please don't jump on me), i'm just asking if there's actually a story out there explaining this. that's all. thanks
 
My guess is Adams hair is naturally light brown. The early days blondeness was possibly due to the perming solution. Perms can lighten hair colour. The Zootv blondeness is peroxide, baby. I'm guessing Adams silver hair is his natural colour now.

Adam was carrying a bit of puppy fat in the Unforgettable Fire days (as were the rest of them). Now I believe Adam is lean and healthy from working out.

This is from the last tour but he is clearly looking after himself.

As for the time period in between I think its best to leave a gentleman some mystery.

Adam used to smoke canabis now and again, everyone knows that. But drastic weight loss between UF and JT? Sorry, I think you're imagining this. Adam was never chubby.

And that more recent pic from the Vertigo shoot - I don't think he looks big at all. Bigger than the Elevation pics but still healthy.

I don't see how you couldn't see it. I agree with 'marik'. He was definitely much slimmer during JT than UF.

No Larry, but here is Bono.

I've always thought I could explain the weight loss between UF and JT -- doesn't anyone else remember the Rolling Stone article written by that illiterate Chris Connolly? He was interviewing Edge and Adam and said they were a study in contrasts, Edge looks like yadda, yadda, yadda, while Adam is "almost rotund?" Can you imagine being 25 years old, your band is taking off, Rolling Stone just declares you the band of the 80s, and you see that in the article? I always thought that was written out of pure spite and/or jealousy. I could've died when I read it, how Adam felt, please...

And so, 20 years hence, we have our Silver Fox, and Connolly is this pathetic chipmunk standing on the red carpet outside the Oscars going, wow, Tom Cruise. What goes around, comes around.
