rob dickinson (catherine wheel) – shag or gag?
last night i was able to go see rob dickinson (the former lead singer of catherine wheel) perform at the mercury lounge here in nyc and he certainly did not disappoint! and i happen to think he’s quite dashing and handsome myself. he’s also incredibly charming and kind and seems to be a fairly nice guy all around. his solo album is called fresh wine for the horses and was just re-released with 6 catherine wheel songs re-worked and i happen to lurve it a lot. so i am proposing him for a shag or gag. included below are some more pics as well as some old catherine wheel songs and a taste of his solo stuff to acquaint the slags who aren’t yet familiar with this gorgeous specimen:

Hi Tifffffersssss! Um, no shag, though. He’s really not my type. Was he ever blond? For some reason I’m associating Catherine Wheel with a blond dude.
He kinda looks like Elijah Wood, and I associate that with hobbits and so I’d have to say no shag. Sorry Tiffers!
Looking like Elijah Wood FTW!!
He looks a little scary.
I’d kill his hairdresser and then shag the guy.
Reminds me a bit of Tarkan, although not as hot. He’s a Turkish singer, do an image search on his name and droooooool!
Um, gag. Nice eyes tho.
He looks like a chronic masterbator. Gag. Sorry Tiffers.
i would say shag. but only after 2 or 3 mojitos.
he seems a short man.
Jaded, he DOES look a little bit like Tarkan! I think the resemblence is around the eyes…
Anyway, I don’t think this guy’s a shag. :/ Gag it!
LOL Ali-ers – Chronic Masterbator FTW! I was thinking that he looks a bit like Chester the Molester myself. Although I’m usually a sucker for a man with a guitar, I’d have to say gag-o-go-go.
OMG! Black Metallic sounded phenomenal! What a great song! Glad you got to see it live, Tiffers.
hahaha! clearly my shag meter is not in alignment with the rest of the slags as of late. maybe i should just put up a cola shag or gag just so i know i’m not completely crazy in my man taste
anners – i don’t think he was evah blonde but my memory may fail. i’ll do some googling later!
daners – elijah wood? i may have to re-evaluate him now that you put that in my head!
jaded – thanks for being my lone supporter- and tarkan is totes hot! thanks for giving me a new boy to crush on!
ali-ers – because that was so funny no apologies needed! hahahah!
konst – he’s about 5′10-5′11″-ish so not so short!
and thanks for the beer googles shag rating!!
morgan!!! sorry i missed you
it was really well done and thanks as always missy! it’s always fab to have virtual friends with such fab music taste!!
I had a short boyfriend before, it was fun, he was so thankful and really tried his best.
omg jaded – you rule! hahaha
totally shag
i have loved the catherine wheel forever..
i am glad mr dickenson is getting the love!
well done stella! well done
In the stills I thought a shag was a distant possibility. I mean, I’ve gotten over bad hair before. But then I watched a video and marveled at how inhumanly awkward the man is and I decided: GAG.
catherine wheel were great ,totally underated, and lovely rob with his sexy voice,and lovely eyes,personally i would shag him to death !!!
yay lisa jane! i’m right there with you
