CuNimb Group: Members Posts: 222 Joined: July 2003 Posted: Feb. 02 2006, 07:50 I've heard an interview with Mike (post Light and shade) where he says that he doesn't have guitars for show - he uses them all. Mmmmm...... Confused now! -------------- Happy? ha ha ha.... Back to top

olracUK Group: Members Posts: 1683 Joined: June 2003 Posted: Feb. 02 2006, 18:56 And in other interviews he talks about buying guitars for fun, almost as toys. "This is my latest toy, a couch guitar", from sometime in the 80's. Remember the pictures of his studio covered in instruments? We all need to have a spring clean every now and then. I'm sure he'll keep a good few, it's too much in his blood not to play guitars. -------------- The answer is 42 - but what is the question? Back to top

Tubularman Group: Awaiting Authorisation Posts: 2304 Joined: June 2004 Posted: Feb. 02 2006, 20:15 he must found alot of guitars e dont use anymore when he moved. (i hope) It was a bit scary when i saw what he said   But like you said andy, he love them to much to give it up!!

Just be careful when you go there to buy the CD "Guitars"... watch out for the item being sold called "mike oldfield guitars" that costs £38,000 instead of £12.99. -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top

David Mar Group: Members Posts: 457 Joined: Oct. 2001 Posted: Feb. 04 2006, 04:54 I'm surprised that he has offered one as a competition prize for Dark Star subscribers! Pity he's selling some, as I don't have much money, as I'd love to own some of his actual guitars! Back to top

David Mar Group: Members Posts: 457 Joined: Oct. 2001 Posted: Feb. 04 2006, 04:57 I'd actually play them, as I would want to just have it for keep sake, nor to sell later as an investment! I think it would be crazy to own a guitar and never play it and keep in original condition with the last set of strings that Mike used on it! I couldn't and wouldn't butcher it up either, that would be like giving a facelift to Marilyn Monroe! Back to top
