    Yesterday, Machine Head frontman Robb Flynnreturned from taking his young son to school to discover his home had been broken into and some irreplaceable items stolen.

    Robb wrote on the band's Official Website: "Items include my wife's jewelry, laptops, wakeboards, cash, and most importantly 4 of my guitars including the guitar that I recorded my first album Burn My Eyes with. Also stolen was a guitar that is priceless to me, that was a gift from Dimebag Darrell. The cock suckers even stole my son Zander's mini Flying V I got him for Christmas."

    scummy

    There's no way the guy who stole all the guitars could sell them on to any decent metal fans, it'd be flagged and reported straight away.

    I would think that these guys will get what's coming too them, if they don't decide to put these items in hiding for the rest of their lives

    Then again, hopefully, they're smack addicts...at least that way they'll be too stupid to avoid going to a pawn shop for the next fix...and hopefully someone will spot Flynn's guitar when it's on the market

    Remember, Slash got his hat back

    Didn't Zakk Wylde have his guitar (that he auditioned with for Ozzy) stolen and returned a few years ago? Hopefully they're recovered, beyond scummy.

    man that sucks, thats no ordinary guitar, thats a dimebag darrell prototype. a gift to him, he must be boiling over this. scumbags will get whats coming to them eventually. hope he gets it back safe!

    Hopefully those guitars will be recovered, I mean they are pretty recognisable. The only likely purchasers of guitars like those from pawn shops or whatever are going to be metal fans who will most likely be aware that Robb Flynn's house was broken into.

    Then again I suppose you are relying on people to have a conscience.

    Think this happened to Satriani also, and it was returned a few days after

    Johnny Marr got a guitar back ten years after it was stolen:

    What is a wakeboard


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,550 ✭✭✭NIBBS


    It's happening more and more so maybe musicians are getting targetted......I seem to be reading stories like this every few weeks......so there must be a market for the stolen goods......sad

    only say a couple of weeks back that Tony Iomi had one of his red SG's robbed from High Voltage in July.....nice thing to do when the band are playing a Tribute show with fee's going to charity...
