LeStudio is being renovated!! :o

[ALifeson85]

I remember a couple years back, I shared a video regarding LeStudio getting vandalized by a group of punks. And then is suspiciously caught fire back in August. (At this point, I'm sure everyone here knows the story.) BUT...I just came across a handful of RECENT videos, from this past summer / fall, of this small group of people who have been slowly cleaning and fixing up the building! I hope they manage to re-open it in the near future. Maybe not as a recording studio - but even if they manage to make it into a museum of sorts, that would be fantastic.

Unfortunately, I believe that these videos showing the restoration were filmed before the fire that destroyed Le Studio

You may be right. Judging by the dates these videos were uploaded, it caught fire a month later. There IS a video that was uploaded, from the same people, the day AFTER the fire, talking about continuing the renovation. So, hopefully they decide to do so.

[Ancient Ways]

Time to edit this threads title I think.

[ALifeson85]

I'll probably just delete it.

[ALifeson85]

Or have an admin delete it. I can't seem to do it myself.

[Lorraine]

All may not be lost. :codger: We might be able to find another use for the thread.

Yet it is still here...

This is the guy that has been stealing money from people in the guise of remodeling the studio and has been putting it in his own pocket. He has multiple personalities/profiles on Facebook and he recruits people to help him scam people. Richard Baxter was his original profile. Who knows what his real name is. He has no affiliation with the owners of the studio and was selling off parts of it for cash.

Yeah. He’s a nutcase. He sends and really nasty, threatening messages to people if they question him at all. He’s set up fake Facebook pages exactly like the real Rush fan pages and added people without their knowledge.

In this last pic, it appears the right foot bass drum is shallower than the left foot bass drum. Weird.

An Ottawa band wrote a song about him years ago. There's no recording on YouTube, but I found the lyrics!

the ballad of richard iommi

 

This is the ballad of Richard Iommi. Richard was a typical suburban teenager. He lived with his parents and spent most of his time hanging out with his friends, listening to records and smoking dope in his room in the basement. There was only one difference between Richard and a typical suburban teenager--he was totally obsessed with Tony Iommi. For those of you who don't know, Tony Iommi is the guitarist in the rock 'n' roll group Black Sabbath. Richard idolized him.

 

CHORUS:

He believed, he believed, he believed he was the son of Tony

He changed his name, he changed his name, he changed his name to Iommi

 

But Richard's devotion to Tony Iommi didn't end there. Not only did he change his last name, but he began buying vintage musical equipment circa 1969. His goal was to obtain the same make and model of guitars and amplifiers that his idol had used. He even got a 72-piece drum kit* just like Bill Ward's. Richard and his best friend would go down to the basement, get really wasted, and set up all the equipment like a shrine. They talked about the day that they would form their band. Richard, of course, would be the guitarist.--CHORUS

 

One day Richard and his best friend were down in the basement. Richard was cutting pictures of Tony Iommi out of old Creem magazines and pasting them in a huge collage on his wall. His friend was playing with the tuner on Richard's stereo when suddenly they both heard something that would change their lives. Lee Aaron was coming to their town. For those of you who don't know, Lee Aaron is the very talented and lovely Canadian rock singer who's also known as the Metal Queen. Richard and his friend loved Lee Aaron second only to Tony Iommi. Richard knew he had to somehow meet Lee Aaron and tell her the secret of his lineage.

 

He believed, he believed, he believed he was the son of Tony

He went to see, he went to see, he went to see the Metal Queen

 

On the day of the show, Richard was so excited he could barely move. In the afternoon he went down to the concert hall early in hopes of catching a glimpse of her. Suddenly, there she was. Everything in the world faded away, and before he knew it he was telling her about the double-neck guitar, the 72-piece drum kit, and why he changed his name. The Metal Queen listened, and in a single sentence brought his entire world crashing down!

 

"Like, why don't you sell that shit and get a life?"

 

He believed, he believed, he believed he was the son of Tony

The Metal Queen, the Metal Queen, the Metal Queen smashed his dreams--CHORUS

 

* Richard "Iommi" Baxter's drum kit is now 115 pieces. I'll have to check that sucker out one of these days. He has recorded an all-percussion album with it called Richard's Drum World.

 

I actually own a copy of the Drum World cd. Is it beyond abysmal. :(

He really would visit local music stores and go on about how Tony Iommi was his dad. Sad, really. Too bad he's turning into an asshole.

It really is, but from what I’ve heard people say about him I’m not surprised. He's really got some major mental problems.

Didn't he come here trying to sell his bits and pieces?
