laughedatbytime Posted August 17, 2018 Posted August 17, 2018 Shhhhhh...no one's supposed to know about it. 5
HemiBeers Posted August 17, 2018 Posted August 17, 2018 Yeah I found that a few years ago. Way too uber-modern and sterile for me. 2
pjbear05 Posted August 17, 2018 Posted August 17, 2018 Pic #14, guitar rack, 4th from the right. Les Paul bodied 12 string? More info, please! :drool:. 1
edhunter Posted August 17, 2018 Posted August 17, 2018 Because of my last job I've been poisoned off of mansions. All I can think of is how lousy it must be to be that guy's Pest Control Tech. 2
apetersvt Posted August 17, 2018 Posted August 17, 2018 Pic #14, guitar rack, 4th from the right. Les Paul bodied 12 string? More info, please! :drool:. Don't know any details on his specific axe, but this is from the gibson site http://www.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Les-Paul/Gibson-USA/Les-Paul-Traditional-12-String/Specs.aspx 2

Lucas Posted August 17, 2018 Posted August 17, 2018 Yeah I found that a few years ago. Way too uber-modern and sterile for me. Totally agree HB Not a fan of that style of architecture - a lot of that here in NJ .. In the 1960s, it might have been different, but it gets old, quick .. Alex, dear, come in here for a minute .. I want to show you our new rug - it's made of ties 4
goose Posted August 17, 2018 Posted August 17, 2018 A shame that he didn't just buy LeStudio and convert it into his private residence. It had way more charm than this place. 6
HemiBeers Posted August 17, 2018 Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) A shame that he didn't just buy LeStudio and convert it into his private residence. It had way more charm than this place.that ship has obviously sailed. It couldn't even be sold for the property itself. Did The White Stripes design his kitchen? Looks like it could have been one of those houses made out of shipping containers. Edited August 17, 2018 by HemiBeers 1
Empty Mindless Spectre Posted August 17, 2018 Posted August 17, 2018 I always wonder about these "country houses" with flat roofs, and how they hold up under large snowfalls. Especially in Canada... 1
pjbear05 Posted August 17, 2018 Posted August 17, 2018 Thanks peeps, the axe was a gold top Les Paul 12 string, looked like Al had a whammy bar added. 1
Fordgalaxy Posted August 17, 2018 Posted August 17, 2018 I always wonder about these "country houses" with flat roofs, and how they hold up under large snowfalls. Especially in Canada...Probably reinforced to withstand heavier loads. 1
Principled Man Posted August 17, 2018 Posted August 17, 2018 I'm not a fan of "country homes" that look more like post-modern museums. 3

Fordgalaxy Posted August 17, 2018 Posted August 17, 2018 I like the more modern, angular stuff. Even the bright colors are nice. 1
Geddyleegenes Posted August 17, 2018 Posted August 17, 2018 I am a fan of great architecture of all types. There was a time when I wanted to be an architect, but then I discovered you have to know math. (Me not know math good.) To me, this house is absolutely beautiful, both inside and out. This is also the first time I've ever seen the lovely Mrs. Lifeson. Alex did damn good, in many ways! Thanks for posting this, JohnnyBlaze. 1

treeduck Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 It reminds me of a futuristic house in a film from 1970. 3
JohnnyBlaze Posted August 18, 2018 Author Posted August 18, 2018 Well, how tall is he? Answers varied but all fell within 5’10 to 6’1. Some guessed he’s shrinking due to age and is closest to 5’10 now. 2
