Six Feet Under Guitarist's House Burgled

posted Dec 7, 2008 at 8:16 AM by Diamond Oz.  (14 Comments)

Six Feet Under guitarist Steve Swanson had his house burgled late friday night/early saturday morning. Among the stolen items were six guitars, two of which were custom made, a HP laptop, one Mesa Boogie dual rectifier head and a Line 6 Spider III 75 guitar amp. The police are currently investigating the robbery.

Swanson states: "I am a father who works hard for everything that I have and need some help to find the worthless waste of human life that would steal things that mean more to others' happiness than my own."

Lost 3 guitars to a fire earlier this fall. So I know how he must feel. Also agree with Branded, if they didnt know him personally, they definately knew who he was and what they were after. It isnt like 6 Feet Under are as rich as Metallica or anything, these guys are a working class band. Hope he gets 'em back.

I've never lost a guitar. I've been broke enough to have to sell one, but I just couldn't. I'd be crushed if I did. I can't imagine losing 6. Or all that other stuff.

^ I don't think Six Feet Under ever claimed to be the best band out there, but I really don't think they're terrible.

While this is really lame for the guitar player, I'm still super excited that we had a legitimate excuse to use the word "burgled." Thanks for that Oz.

No harm against the band but I've never heard them. But that comment made me laugh a good laugh
