What famous guitarists live near you?

Bogwhoppit · December 2014

Jimmy Savile visited my school.

Gary Glitter lived down the road (or should I say Paul Raven).

Cyril Smith had relations (err I mean friends of his family) in the next road to mine.

I didn't stand a chance

Nicky Wire of the Manics lives a mile or two from my parents. I used to see him carting his wheelie bin up his driveway now and then, as well as in the local HMV...

Why would Nicky cart his wheelie bin around HMV?

IanSavage · December 2014

Because everything must go.

You must feel really left out

Richard Hawley lives about 10 minutes walk away. Sat next to him in the pub a while ago, nice normal bloke.

Pulp's guitarist, he's round here too, the one who plays the violin as well, can't remember his name. I was in the drummer's pub last week too. Nick summat, again, can't remember. Banks?

Bass player of Def Leppard, he had a massive place, just round the corner. Think he's sold and moved, bloody enormous house, like a hotel.

Frank White, he's not too far away,

Phil Oakey is about 5 mins walk down the road - dunno if he plays guitar, but he's a mighty nice fella.

Nick Clegg used to live across the road, and he on the other hand, is a mighty big twat. I bet he doesn't play guitar.

George Harrison's humungous house is in Henley on Thames, which is on the berkshire/oxfordshire border.

I have been interviewing for a new member of staff today. One of the candidates told me she knew I played the guitar.
That may be the most famous I ever get - so I live near me !

We have a few in my neck of the woods, Martin Barre lives in Northleigh a few miles up the road I love the private plate he used to have on his porche J 7ull
Matt Bellamy used to have a flat opposite a sex shop in Exeter.
That twat from Coldplay used to live just outside Exeter too
mind you its said that you could chuck a stone and clout a celebrity in virtually any direction in devon lol

But which twat from Coldplay. Last I saw there were four in the group. Not a guitar one but I once saw Simon Le Bon in a hardware shop in Putney carefully considering which carpet shampoo to buy. Maybe he'd had the Wild Boys round again.

Mick Ralphs (Bad Co/Mott the Hoople) was born and raised in my village, Stoke Lacy, in Herefordshire then eventually moved to Henley near Jon Lord and George Harrison.

Not quite in the same league but Gary Roberts (Boomtown Rats) lives a couple of miles away.

Roy Harper used to live about 10 minutes away.

Not a guitarist but Bill Ward (Sabbath) lived 5 miles away and when Bill was away, Ozzy Osbourne could be found in the local pub while he was, ahem, "visiting" Bill's wife....

Shame. I can't mention about when I lived near Paganini then (this is a reference to violins should any solicitors be reading).

I didn't know it when I moved in but they all live within 20,000 Km of me!

NervousJohn · December 2014

Headly Grange is about 5 miles from me. and Bedales School is I the next town over so there will be someone going to be famous there.

Ahh not her. I couldn't convince the guy from HR knowing I played the guitar was a strong enough reason to give her the job.

and the 36DD's weren't a good reason either?

You disappoint me sir.

When I was 5, I was deeply in love with a grown-up girl down the road who then went and married Jimmy Lea of Slade .... devastated I was...does that count?

Howdy, Stranger!
