10-foot-tall guitar art to be shown downtown


PHOENIX - Alice Cooper is scheduled to officially launch GuitarMania on Friday at a public unveiling in downtown Phoenix.

More than 80 local and celebrity artists, including Eddie Van Halen, Stevie Nicks and the Gin Blossoms, have created art pieces using 10-foot-tall Fender Stratocasters for the project. The guitars will be on display at America West Arena and outside Bank One Ballpark from Friday through Sunday.

The following weekend, individual guitars will be moved to public locations around the Valley but won't be displayed as a collection until they are auctioned off Feb. 4. The proceeds will benefit Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Central Arizona and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Education Fund.

ok well, i work down at bank one ballpark (or chase something or other, they just renamed it today) and i searched and searched downtown, almost got a jaywalking ticket, and couldn't find stevie's guitar. i talked to someone who knew how hers was decorated and he gave me a description, so i searched and searched again, this time reading the plaques carefully and examining the guitars... and i couldn't find stevie's.... THEN i noticed through the window that there are some INSIDE america west arena... from what i could tell of the description i was given, none of them match.... BUT there was one guitar that was sort of turned sideways and is up against a stairway that i could not get a view of. with my luck, this ONE guitar that i cannot see is probably Stevie's guitar.

i asked the security guard who was guarding the guitars if they were going to let people inside AWA at some point to see the guitars that were inside and he told me that i could buy a ticket to tomorrow's concert and go in to look at it. HA. i REALLY don't feel like going to see styx and reo speedwagon.

soooo, any phoenix ledgies planning to see Styx and Reo Speedwagon tomorrow?

It's kind of boring if you ask me.

It's got the hands thing, like the cover of Say You Will. Wonder why she chose black? :confused:

[gldstwmn]

These two are my favorites:

I really like "The Eternal Dance" one.

[Kelly]

I like it. It is not that fancy but it is very Stevie. The hands definately remind me of the Say You Will cover. :thumbsup:

[Glittermoondust]

Hmm... I never thought of the SYW cover...... what's with the brown squigglies?? I think the hearts on the neck are kind of cute :) But yes--a little plain......

[jkmaletic]

Those brown squigglies look like Mr. Hankey marks if you know what I mean. :laugh:
Kinda wierd design her and her neice chose to do. :confused:

Kind of what I was thinking but didn't want to say it!! It would have looked nicer with some brighter colors :thumbsup:

That's what I thought of too! :laugh:

Hmmmm, definitely not a favorite.

I agree. I don't like it much. I was thinking it was going to be much cooler than it was when I opened that link.

[ontheEdgeof17]

The SYW hands are cool, but the Wild Heart is a little overplayed and outdated.

[Jessica Leigh]

yeah that would be it- i was told it was white with hands on it- and the sideways standing guitar that was out of my sight was what i would call a pale sand color.... but i wasn't sure if it was the one since i couldn't see the designs on the front.... but this picture here definitely looks like that pale sand color. what are the odds? out of all of those guitars at AWA and bank one ballpark there is ONE that cannot be seen by people unless they have tickets to an AWA event... and it's Stevies!

i like it by the way. some of the guitars are totally overdone with layers of airbrushing- it was obvious that some people paid professionals to paint their guitars- but stevie did hers with only the help of her neice. they get an A for following the assignment- the other people get Fs for not doing it themselves. just my opinion. :)

I don't like it, but it is cool that she did it herself :thumbsup: Way to keep it real Stevie!

Stevie's guitar is inside Bank One Ballpark outside the entrance to the Team Shop. They will be in various locations around Phoenix for the next five months until the auction on Feb. 4, 2006.

WHERE inside bob? i was just in there yesterday and didn't see one... only the ones in the courtyard out by the box office.

[SapphireSister]

Very unimpressive coming from an artist...I expected more but oh well. It's simple and sometimes simplicity can be nice but in this case it's just boring.
