I remember when Neil was on Leno in 1992 after one or two predictable questions from Jay, Neil said, "You know, I'd much rather play with this train you've got back here." For some reason, an electric train was part of the Tonight Show set. Neil jumped up and began moving things around (plants and such) to get to the train, to the surprise of Leno.

pretty common for people who make their living on tour to hang laminates in bunches from a bedpost or a doorknob

This is a great thread. Tried to find Rick Wakeman's appearance on 'Through the Keyhole' but failed. Ah well. It was just a house full of synths and wizards, anyway.

x-post

So Mr. Stipe has put his penthouse loft home and studio on Canal Street in SoHo on the market for $10.95 million as he searches for a suitable downtown work space to share with his partner, Thomas Dozol, a photographer and silk-screen artist.

Michael Stipe's place is for sale.

wakeman 'through the keyhole' sounds like the easiest possible.

I like their media room

Moodles, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 17:59 (eleven years ago) link

omg i LOVE their media room but wish it had more carpet and a real conversation pit
i can't believe people actually live like that?!

nicest bitch of poster (La Lechera), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:04 (eleven years ago) link

yes to the kitchen! NO to the study. that wallpaper would give me a headache

most of the house is a bit too whitewashed for me, I'd be scared of getting things dirty bcs I am a walking dirtsmudge

Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:09 (eleven years ago) link

agree with the whitewashed comment, but I like the super patterned wallpaper (blame acid...)

Moodles, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:12 (eleven years ago) link

lol

Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:13 (eleven years ago) link

Media room is nice, yeah. Sort of like the study too but I wouldn't want walls that busy *as a study*. Kitchen is just a kitchen - the only thing that I'm like "yes" to is the sheer amount of room they have, y'know. If someone gave me that house I wouldn't be anything other than made up about it, but the decor is yawwwwwwwwn for the most part.

emil.y, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:14 (eleven years ago) link

it's cool that there are a couple of 'relaxed' though

always boggle at houses wehre there's SO many rooms. like you half expect them to have a 'day kitchen' and a 'guest kitchen'

Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:15 (eleven years ago) link

*'relaxed (rooms) though

Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:16 (eleven years ago) link

"I'd be scared of getting things dirty bcs I am a walking dirtsmudge"

people with insane amounts of money do not think about things like this.

Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:17 (eleven years ago) link

plus they have more money to spend on hourly changes of clothing to hide their innate grubbiness I suppose

Richard Ashcroft's new home plans for Taynton retreat

No photos of the inside, but apparently it "was built in 1660 and features a period bull-ring, a secret garden and an ornamental pond."

A bull-ring?

Elvis Telecom, Thursday, 30 January 2014 21:08 (ten years ago) link

I question the rock stars who don't have a bull ring in their mansion.
