He's not the kind of guy to bite the head off a small animal (since he's been a spokesperson for PETA, I think they would disagree) and he doesn't need a fireball to make his music more amazing. Give the guy a break. In the past year and a half, he's released 3 CDs and toured all over North America. He's been playing shows since the 80's. He's currently working on a potential TV show along with other musical and non-music related projects. If he wants a simple picture, I think he's allowed to have one.

Band image is very important weather you want it to be or not, because of the imagerey and pigeon holing people (unintentionally) do when they see someone, regardless if they're in a band or not, but even more so when they are a focus of attention like this. Band image is very important because it's stupid stuff that most people don't care to be concerned about that can put you off of your target audience, or any for that matter.

Shallow frankly. This only matters if you are concerned with image — this bizarre idea that to be Rock n Roll you have to look Rock n Roll.

Now he looks like he has a personal trainer and has hit that chunky-guy-at-the-end-of-the-bar-on-the-make look. I think I bought insurance from someone who looks just like Trent.
