..what would it be & why?

Assuming he's kept every bit of Sisters history in there & assuming he has a basement that is.

Master tapes of the next three records... which surely must exist since they record all the time. Right?

I want the snake-skin print shirt from the RAH gig in 1985.

Alternatively, you don't have to go as far as the basement. Sneak into his living room on a sunny afternoon, purloin the sleeping cat from the sofa, and leave a note intimating that if he ever wants to see Fluffy again he needs to make with the album-releasing.

Those groovy heart-shaped glasses he wore in the '90s. Or maybe the FALAA-era hat.

...Alternatively, I'd snag a copy of The Damage Done and sell that sucker for as much cash as I could get out of it. Always got to think of making a profit, you know... :innocent:

I would go for the box of memorabilia (flyers, posters, reviews, contracts etc) from the gigs of 1981-1985.

I would snatch the box with filmed material from 93 and onwards and make a DVD :innocent:

Every item of neon-colored clothing (can that count as "one item"?)

He'd thank me for it someday.

But you're NOT talking about his lovely yellow shirt now :?: :!: ... :eek::eek::eek: ... I'll buy him a new one, if you do that! ... :evil: :twisted: :lol: ...

Hmmmm....first I'll have to distory the source of neon (take that Being645 ;))

And after I finish accepting the thanks of a grateful nation, I'm breaking back in and taking the parallax.

Hasn't this been done before - I mean, literally? I've heard his was house burgled for memorabilia?

Don't know why, but I would not want to invade his house/home to steal his belongings. I didn't even thounght about that. But maybe because I would not want to have my house burgled? Maybe.

I didn't even thought about the possibility that someone would take this thread seriously :wink:

I'd go after any boxes marked "unimportant", "cannot be arsed", "boring" etc. in hope to find the the unreleased stuff quick before sultan2075 gets there!

Really? ... :eek: ... Pah! ... :urff: ... Though, I can easily imagine that such things might have happened back in the days ... disgusting ... :urff: :urff: :urff: ...

I know how it feels. I've lived in places, where the same people you'll meet in the corridor next day broke into my room x times,
stealing almost everything that could be made into cash or that they could just make use of in any other way. Like the electric
coffee grinder, which had been the only memory of my late Grandmother. They could have asked. I surely had lend it to them. Lovely.
Finally, I got home one day to find some intoxinated couple in my bed telling me that someone upstairs had told them they could sleep
there. Thanks. OK, they left, but they also left scabbies. Very cool. Those were the days ! And only one short excerpt of it ... but hell,
half of them idiots are dead, and it still makes me sad, because they were my friends, people of whom I knew where they came from,
how they felt, and who I saw going down like flies on a trap ... :( ...


But back to joking ...
@EmmaPeelWannaBe :D
OK. That does not include the pretty yellow shirt, then ... ;D ...
Sorry for you, though - there is no way to take away the parallax ... :wink: ... you/we can only reduce it ... I'm with you on that ... :D ...

I just don't like idea/thread title. If it was something like: if you can get just one thing from AE basemennt/storage ... But stealing? Only riff can be steal. :wink:

I agree, being burgled is a horrible experience and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

Yeah, can't remember who told me, or even when.
