Looks more like Wentworth Miller to me.

Gets what; that he's been ripping off the Young Gods for years?

It's hard to take anyone seriously who is known for a song titled "Your Body is a Wonderland."

very true. It seems like some people want to s**t on him more than ever, now that he's dead. You don't have to be a fan to recognize his musical talent or the incredible SQ of his albums, you just have to remove your head from where you appear to have it firmly planted.

I do not know much about his discography, but that song is definitely "gun to head" worthy.

I am not a big fan, but the man knew how to entertain flat out. The sound quality is icing on the cake, and it is proof that the argument that artists have no oversight over sound quality is crap. They just do not care or are ignorant.

With regards to the OP, I am curious as to who else is dedicated to sound quality whether it is recording (musician) or playback (fan). I suspect the list will not be long, as most celebrities would rather hear themselves over a musician

Well I'm sure Steve Wilson from Porcupine Tree is somewhat of an audiophile, we all know how meticulous he is with his work and is very very particular on how things should sound, and that he hates compressed music

OK folks, enough talk about pedophiles and man bras...

He's not a "celebrity" beyond the bluegrass/acoustic world, but guitarist Tony Rice was interviewed by Listener magazine, back in '02.

When I was working at Martin Logan there was a wall of the celebrities that had some of our products. Of course there was a large area for Fabio.

One of the guys on friends ( I believe David Schwimmer) wanted to have some of the Aerius' on the show (you can see them on some of the shows) and I believe in the picture of his house he had some CLS' with some Mac gear.

LeBron James(Dr. Dre Beats)...he even has his own custom ones with Cavs colors:

 

[dcpoor]

marketing monster headphones doesn't make you an audiophile. <_<

I don't know if this makes them audiophiles, but a bunch of NBA players have UE customs. If you go to their gallery area they show a bunch of the customs designs.

& others want to build him up WAY beyond what he was.. When I hear MJ was the best entertainer ever I cringe. Anyone hear of Elvis? No doubt he was ultra talented as a singer & dancer, but no singer/musical entertainer had the impact that Elvis did.. &, Yes. I know Thriller is the best selling Album worldwide. I was actually a huge fan growing up. I like around 15 of his songs, so I'm no hater.. Just when any 'icon' dies, they are built up as bigger then life.. MJ's popularity & success in America dropped of greatly, as his HIStory release in 95 was a failure in the US, & more so with his 01 release. Compared to his prior albums & the Billboard charts..

This will probably be my last post on this thread, as I do not want to draw the ire of others, but I have to say that impact says NOTHING about talent. There are many bands that made huge impacts are are seriously lacking in talent. I am not saying Elvis was not talented, but let's face it, Michael Jackson could entertain circles around Elvis. I really do not care what people say about that opinion, but (kool bubba ice: I am not singling you out... this is more of an observation in general) I cannot stand it when people are are praising an artist and someone whips out Elvis or The Beatles like the artist praised is garbage and Elvis or The Beatles are Gods.

Michael Jackson was more talented than Elvis, and I am not taking it back

jilgiljongiljing: I'd say that Steven Wilson does indeed care about sound quality... if you forget most of his releases on CD. The DVD-Audio releases, however, are simply outstanding. I wonder what he has at home to listen with.
