Infobox audio sample

I upgraded the box to the Guitarist Project box which contains a field for an audio sample showing off the guitarists signature solo or style. Which audio sample shows Robbo's solo style the best. I have a couple of nominees in mind but it should be a concensus before being added in. 156.34.142.110 12:59, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

3 suggestions: 1. Undoubtedly his solo on his signature song: Still in Love with you (the first one, I think Scott played the last one). 2. He played an unusual and distinctive section on Don't Believe a Word too - this is highlighted on the Still In Love With the Blues VHS video (now freely viewable on youtube too - hooray!). 3. Anything where he uses his wah-pedal as an extension of the instrument - that always makes the hairs on my neck stand up - just fabulous. The Fighting album (& perhaps Johnny the Fox album) have several candidates.

Actually, Don't Believe a Word could cover 2 & 3 above, e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byuyURC0Mmo

BTW Robbo is my favourite guitarist of all time. He may not be as rich as EC, as famous as Jimi or as stunt-astic as Steve Vai - but man, when he plays it is so sweet, melodic, tasteful and...well, just perfect. To my ears anyway, he is the best. And Scott Gorham's playing complements him perfectly.

I believe he currently lives in Brentwood in Essex - he ceratianly has been seen around town. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.168.59.96 (talk) 18:39, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Question: I don't think adding such facts to biography articles is a great idea, unless the person's home is a place of interest, either of notability or a permanent residence, like a mansion somewhere that is never likely to change. ([[Keith Richards' home in Nellcote comes to mind as an exception). The reason for this is the same as putting a musicians' plans for future album dates in the article: later, far too often, it's not updated, and the article requires constant repair. We have a ton of unreferenced or under-referenced articles in the Wikipedia that need attention and there isn't enough energy or interest as it is to clean them up. Speaking as a part-time Wikignome, we are stretched a bit thin. Just a thought, of course. --Leahtwosaints (talk) 15:06, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I believe Robbo has been there for some considerable time (I was first told Brentwood 6-8 years ago) and so probably considers it his home. I can understand a reluctance to include too much detail for security & privacy reasons. It's nice to know he is still around and roughly where that might be - especially as he apparently plays in the area sometimes. Still can't send him a Christmas card though :( ;). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 135.196.5.146 (talk) 12:58, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
