I think the rock set call it "faded grandeur"...
I will say this though - Brian is in his sixties...it's pretty much how a sixty year old would do up their house.

And what about all those half empty cans of hair spray in the bathroom and those dirty dishes in the sink?

[QUOTE][QUOTENAME]mrjordy wrote: [/QUOTENAME]On Brian's current front-page soapbox, check out the picture of Jack (who is a Make A Wish foundation cancer patient) with Brian, in Brian's living room. Note the following:
. Hideous sofa.
. Carpet wadded up underneath sofa. Tacky.
. Shit piled all over table, topped with Darth Vader helmet.
. Pillows don't match couch, under any circumstance, ever.
. In the background tables, they too have shit piled all over them.
. Carpet doesn't match sofa, or anything else in the room, for that matter.
. Though you can't see all of it, the painting on the wall looks pretty ugly, on it's own accord.
Ponder, if you will, and feel free to add any tackiness you may find.[/QUOTE]
What the bloody hell's wrong with it.Looks fine to me!! =P

I agree J.R....
Looks completely fine to me.
I think what is bothering these people is the fact that it is a very "normal" looking place...very "real". Everyone wants to see the glamour of being a famous rock star...and people assume his home would be, well, a castle of sorts with all the showy trappings. Instead you see a typical location where one has lived and worked for some time...and is admist many projects. It is simply a reflection of the rather down to earth personality that resides there in my opinion....
I think it is simply grand in it's own way ....but that is just me perhaps.

And the fact that nothing in the room seems to match anything else looks just very British to me...

Is this the Gibson custom shop version? Or is the the Cheapo Epiphone look-a-like? And why is Brian giving out Gibsons anyways?

I believe the original article about the boy's visit stated it was a "dream guitar" he had dreamed of owning for years...
It must have been very exciting for the teen....imagine having someone you respect hand you the thing you have dreamed most of life about.
Damn amazing and meaningful methinks.....

That guitar has only been out for 4 years. The Epiphone model is about a $500 guitar and sounds like it. The Custom Shop is a nice Maple (front) and Mahogany (back) solid with EMG pickups. Quite a nice bite, indeed. Four grand.
They also offer the CS in an aged wood version for nearly twice that!!! But again, this is a recent issue, not a 'dream guitar'. Maybe the boy dreamed of owning a vintage Les Paul. This is NOT that. I'm just curious.

I hope he would feel flattered. Or whoever picked out that sofa would.
I love Victorian / Edwardian furniture. I wanted to buy a yellow sofa a bit like that once, but I had no way of getting it home (700 miles).
