Odds of Wearing a Hat: 66 percent
Because He/She's Bald? Gibbons and Dusty Hill are rarely, if ever, seen hatless. Drummer Frank Beard, on the other hand, has never been photographed wearing a hat that we know of.
Odds of Onstage Injury: It's a concern. All three band members are 62 years old, though they've never been known for taking Nugent-esque Tarzan leaps across the stage.
Odds You're Sick To Death Of The Song "Legs:" 80 percent, but you won't care when you see them play it live.
