PTH guitarist to donate beard

2009-05-22 by jingledeath | 36 Comments
Tim Millar's big day has finally arrived. Millar, guitarist of Canadian metal outfit
Protest The Hero, has been growing his beard for three years in hopes of competing in the
2009 World Beard and Moustache Championships. This Saturday, May 23, the Championships
will be held in Anchorage, Alaska and Millar will be competing in the "Alaskan Whaler"
category.

A film crew will be accompanying Tim as he and Beard Team Canada compete for the first
time in this global event. To support the team, fans can log on to:
http://www.beardteamcanada.bigcartel.com/
More information about the competition can be found at:
http://www.worldbeardchampionships.com//

Although Tim recently ranked #19 in Metal Hammer Magazine's "Best Beards in Metal"
feature, he tentatively plans to shave the whole thing off when he returns home.
"I'd like to raise money for Locks of Love, a charity that makes wigs for cancer patients
under 18. Even though they won’t accept a beard hair donation, I’m cutting off and
donating my hair and if I can raise enough money through the Beard Team Canada site, I’ll
also shave off my beard after the competition and start fresh for 2011," says Millar.
"It's for a good cause and if we raise enough money, I'll reveal my chin that has been
hiding for the last 3 years. I'm sure you're all curious to see if I really do have a
chin."

oh gosh.

I met this guy, he was using a pay phone in a mall. I felt the biggest urge to touch his beard. I didn't tell the people I was with who he was, so they thought I was gawking at some stranger using the phone.

He shaved those over a year ago.

This is cool. Last time Tim shaved his beard, he uh...he didn't, per se. He lit it on fire. But he has a lot more beard now, he was probably 19 at the time.

They have a DVD in the works, hopefully it'll come out sometime this year.
Given the 3 year gap between Kezia and Fortress I wouldn't start getting anxious until 2010.

"the guy from mastodon has a pretty crazy beard."

Brent or Troy? Either way, neither compare to this guy's.

Although Schuylar Croom's got it goin' on too...
