Members ten56gibby Posted November 3, 2010 Members Share Posted November 3, 2010 A cool looking one Really though, I have no idea. That headstock shape is entirely unfamiliar to me. But everything about that guitar is cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Runner Posted November 4, 2010 Members Share Posted November 4, 2010 How his career has died..... not sure his career died in the traditional sense, he just stopped making music seems like i remember something about him having a beef with sony, or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members katillac Posted November 4, 2010 Members Share Posted November 4, 2010 Unfortunately he preferred men. How is that unfortunate? More happy men, I say. Some are happier because of being with him and some are happier for being able to be with the women who couldn't be with him. Besides, how can you be so sure every one of those women were into men?

Members Faber Posted November 4, 2010 Members Share Posted November 4, 2010 How his career has died..... With the kind of run he had, he really had no way to go but down. And as already said he simply stopped making music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members clay sails Posted November 4, 2010 Members Share Posted November 4, 2010 LOVE that album. It was definitely a pop gem. I wonder how it holds up? (I haven't heard it in many many moons, though I can probably hum half the songs still.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Faber Posted November 4, 2010 Members Share Posted November 4, 2010 Damn, I stand corrected - I thought he'd retired altogether. I'd love to see him live even if I'm not a die hard fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see him live even if I'm not a die hard fan. He does a lot of highly paid private gigs for some Russian magnate as well, can't remember the details. Theres also some remastered stuff being released, but as he's just got out of jail, they've put it back, hopefully he'll get a driver and stop driving while smashed:facepalm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
