Paul Natkin, Chicago’s foremost music photographer, shines a light on the stories behind some of his most famous shots for Trope’s Behind the Shot series.
They’re three really hilarious characters, and they’re known for their beards. I was doing a cover shoot for a magazine, and there was a scissors laying on the table. Dusty [Hill] just picked up the scissors and grabbed Billy [Gibbon’s] beard and threatened to cut it off. It was just this moment of pure wackiness. Every moment with them is pure wackiness. There’s never a moment where they were serious.
