Not only the hair was reason for concern.
I mean, look at that pic with the Pharao-mirror-ball-suit. :D

No doubt Dave took the Glam thing to far, that image just did not resonate with the US crowd.To be honest his guitar skills were not up to snuff, he should have spent more time on his instrument than on his wardrobe. I love them just the same.
