Steve Smith Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Yes Alex was a good looking lad back in the day. That is why I wanted to look like him on FTK inside cover and have a white ES355. Neil was also pretty cool looking on 2112, tall with his long hair and "professor tache" But you know? Don't wish to offend anyone but hey? How camp was that look with the guys in white satin Kimono's!!!!!??? And please I do not mean that in any offensive way towards campness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Alex did a lot of work on his own guitars backstage and while on tour, so maybe he wore the coveralls while he was soldering and carrying things back and forth .. He probably just wanted the right outfit for the man-talk about guitars - a different vibe for the camera than the pink silk top and blue eyeshadow 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought so at first, amazing if not. I presume it was shot in Toronto? I couldn't imagine anywhere else there'd be such a big splash for a then obscure rock band.
