Ted Nugent and his first wife divorced. She later died in a car accident. He's
currently married to his second wife but they've been together for less than 7
years.
Alice Cooper has also been married more than once.
The rock stars on our "still married" list are those who've only been married
once and have stayed married for longer than 7 years. Which makes it a pretty
short list.

If I remember correctly, Frank Zappa only married once and stayed
married.

Missed the earlier post, but where did you hear that? It was claimed that
Christy hung out with U2 because she was a friend of Naomi Campbell,
who was engaged to Adam Clayton at the time. Christy was also said to
be closer to Bono's wife than Bono. If there was an affair it wasn't "very
public" and Bono wife seemed remarkably friendly toward Christy in photos
I've seen. You wouldn't expect that if there was a very public affair with
Bono.

WRONG! I'm not going into to the details for how I know, but Bono has NEVER
been unfaithful to Ali. In fact, she encouraged his friendship with Christy,
despite all the tabloid rumors about them. I love gossip newsgroups, but I will
not condone lies about people that I know and have spent time with personally.
BTW, it ended up that Ali and Christy became better friends than Bono and
Christy.

What about Krist Novselic? He got married fairly young. If they're still
married, it has to be 12 years or so.

I've never heard any of those rumors, but they seemed to have had a bumpy
courtship. *Very* shortly before they married, Dorathea filed a huge
palimony suit. Then after their spontaneous Las Vegas wedding, which his
management denied, IIRC, there was an attempt to have the ceremony annulled.
<<If I remember correctly, Frank Zappa only married once and stayed

Yes, but wasn't he a notorious cheater? Back in my college days --early
80's-- he picked up 2 friends of mine during Mardi Gras and rode them (no pun
intended) all around the city in his limo. I remember them bouncing in my
room, giggling hysterically, after being up all night with Zappa. They swore
nothing happened, but I always figured either they were lying or he must have
been really pissed with himself for choosing those two.

Ack. I misspelled Krist's name! Novoselic. In the meantime, though, I did
manage to turn up my copy of _Come As You Are_. It turns out that, while Krist
and Shelli met in 1985, they didn't get married till the end of 1989. That's
still more than 7 years. (So far as I know they're still married, but I don't
know for sure.)

I mentioned Simon and Yasmin Le Bon in another thread. 13 years this
December. 1st marriage for both. 3 beautiful girls.

I guess Simon got it right the first time by marrying a model!
Now as far as fidelity goes, I've heard rumors that the Le Bons have an "open
marriage". That may or may not be true, but whatever they're doing, it seems
to be working and more power to them. They still seem to be insanely in love
with each other.

Hmm, how about Chris DeGarmo? (Formerly Queensryche, now with Cantrell, next
to be...?) He and his wife Kimberly have been married for 9 years, as of last
August.

Of course, ther were Christy's own words to the contrary (in a magazine
article during the affair, in Vogue, Cosmo or something similar, she pretty
much spelled it out) and I remember being very surprised due to Bono's image.
And OF COURSE Bono would deny the affair to his wife......
I came up with a few more people that have been married a while:
Meatloaf (still married to Leslie I think) Roger Daltry (though he's had many
affairs I believe) Robert Smith of the Cure (still married to Mary I hope)
and hasn't Alice Cooper been married to a woman named Sheryl for about 20
years?

A long time ago, I read the book "Rock Wives" and Gail Zappa was interviewed in
the book. I'm almost positive she said that Frank left his first wife for her.
Everyone thinks Gail was Frank's only wife because she was the one who had kids
with him and stayed wiht him the longest. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but
I'm pretty sure that Frank was married more than once.
SassyMs69
He's still married, so thank you for that addition to the list, which is
turining out to be a little longer than I thought it would be.

Another addition - Martin or the vocalist from Depeche Mode is still
married to my doppleganger. Apparently, this wife is a splitting

It is so pathetic when overzealous fans of a celebrity go in gossip newsgroups
and vehemently defend their idol when someone mentions that their idol is less
than perfect.
Look, if you have a problem with people pointing out the truth--that your god
Bono is actually human and has made mistakes, than go to the U2 fan worship
newsgroup. Fact is, I know people who work closely with U2 and you're sadly
delusional about Bono being "100% faithful" to his wife. This is a gossip
newsgroup so get over yourself with your "Bono is the perfect husband" crap.
I'm not trying to change your mind because you're obviously blinded by fan
worship. I like U2's music, and I don't have anything against Bono either. I
just happen to know the truth and it doesn't shock me if I find out that Bono
has cheated on his wife. If you can't cope with some of life's harsh realities,
then that's your problem.

He's been married only once. To a former model/hat check girl (Marie Guiron is
her name) he met when he was in this early 20's.
They have been together ever since and have one daughter. He did father a son
when he was 16, pre Marie. Hope this helps.

Justin didn't marry Tiggy (I don't know if they where ever an item) but he's
been married to his wife Marie for 30 years. I do remember him telling a
really funny groupie story, which I heard him tell on the radio.
Here's the story as I remeber it....
It was back in the 60's. The Moodies were in Texas for a concert. There was a
knock on the door of the room Justin and bass player John Lodge was sharing.
Justin opened the door and there was a women in a fur coat standing in front of
him. She opened the coat and Justin recalled, "She was compleatly Starkers!"
She asked him if he wanted to ball, but he said she would have better luck down
the hall. Meanwhile, John Lodge missed out of the whole show because it happen
when he was in the bathroom blow drying his hair.

Rock Star who have long marriages. Just wanted to point out some
facts. Dorothea never file a parlimony suit against Jon Bon Jovi,
that was made up by the press. Jon and Dorothea never wanted
the marriage to be annulled it was his overly concerned
management who wanted the marriage annulled.
Interesting to point out that since than, the manager has been fired
by Jon.

about groupies, leaving his wife, etc., he pointed said he loved his
hard-earned money more than shelling out megabucks to Dorothea in a
settlement. So I guess they'll stay married ...

Look, rock star is a profession where you get a lot of sex with a lot
of different women and travel far more than is good for you.
Bono would have to be a saint to have not screwed *anyone*
else besides his wife, especially when they were running around
with freaking supermodels.
Infidelity is part of the job description.
Same thing with sports.
I've seen this in action and it is simply amazing to see how many
woman want an athlete or a musician.
A friend of mine, who is related to a musician, had strange women
calling his number, asking to speak to this person. Since he was
listed and the person wasn't, he would get the calls. When they
found out it wasn't this person, they asked him if he wanted to get
together. If he wanted, he would have had sex
for years and he wasn't even a musician, forget famous.
>Look, if you have a problem with people pointing out the truth--that your god

Blind idolitry is permitted there. Then Bono can walk on water, heal
the sick and make the stock price rise with one smile.

Look, Newt Gingrich cheated on both wives and he looks like a fucking
troll. Millions of women masturbate to Bono every night. At some
point, most people break. He may not shag every groupie, but Christy
Turlington is an entirely different case. How many men could say no to
her, no matter how much they loved their wives?
You want to worship someone, fine. Just don't go looking into their
sex lives. Because disappointment awaits.

Dammit, I hate trying to find expired messages when I don't check this NG for a
few days.
Anyway, although I apologize for *how* I made my post, I do not apologize for
the basic content. I rarely get pissed off or flame someone, so it usually
leaves a bad taste in my mouth when I do.
If you think that I'm the type to blindly worship someone, you're much
mistaken. As other examples, I like Sarah Michelle Gellar but recognize that
she's basically a complete bitch. I like Rob Thomas of Matchbox 20, even though
it's plainly obvious that he's got a serious drug and/or alcohol problem.
Furthermore, I never claimed Bono was the perfect husband (I think "The
Sweetest Thing" is a perfect example of what a self-absorbed shithead he can be
sometimes, if you know the history of the song), only that he hasn't been
unfaithful to Ali.
You may know people who work with U2, but I know Bono and Ali personally. Maybe
that makes me more likely to know the truth than you, or maybe not. But it
really doesn't matter. It doesn't really affect me one way or the other if you
want to believe that he's an adulterer, and I know it doesn't affect Bono and
Ali. They know what the truth is, and that's really all that matters.
FTR, and I don't mean this as a flame so please don't take it as such, you'll
probably find that your "connections" (getting backstage at the Vh1 awards,
etc) will automatically make some of the others in this group assume everything
you post is the gospel truth. You won't get that from me. I'm not easily
impressed, and I *will* disagree with someone (not just you, so don't take it
personally) if I feel and/or know that something they post isn't true. However,
I'll do my best to not be quite as inflammatory in the future.
So, truce?

Further to that quote, the reporter said that she was going print that
and Jon laughed and said there was going to be hell for that when
he gets home. Sometimes you can't take everything that Jon says

Thanks to my much-publicized connection to the evil empire of Larry
Flynt, I have the *answer* to that question, Mary Beth!
Lonn left RIP in '94 to accept a position with the A&R dept. at Arista
Records (who have never been known for their hard rock.) LFP dropped RIP
a few months later.
Earlier this year, he returned to Flynt to edit an "extreme golf" mag

What's better is when he does several interviews in a day (he did a radio promo
tour last summer) and gives different answers to the same questions. And
denies all of it when you bring it to his attention. Oh well.

Just thought of a few more, but I'm out of the current news loop, so I
don't know if these people are still married or still together:
Rich Robinson of The Black Crowes - got married about six years ago
and despite his ego problems, have been known to be faithful to his
wife. I'd believe it more if it was his brother, Chris (the vocalist).
Danny Bowes of that crappy band, Thunder - married for about 9 years,
but in the press, he was 'single' to make himself more appealling to
his female fans. It was his wife's idea, apparently.
Alannah Currie and Tom Bailey of Thompson Twins - they are still
together, and have been for about 19 years. I don't think they are
married as I vaguely remember that Currie wasn't that keen on
marriage.
One of the Christian brothers of The Christians is still married to
his 'high school' sweetheart - and have been for 15 years or so. Don't
ask me which one as I still haven't figure out who is who. I know they
are Gary, Roger and Russell, but to put their names to their faces,
I'm lost.
Bill Drummond (or Jimmy Csomething) of The KLF is still with his
boyfriend and have been for about 8 years - well, it was the same year
as Live Aid (UK). His boyfriend was featured in a documentary about
KLF's infamous £1million bonfire (they burned £1million as a protest
against something the Government did. Idiotic, I thought as many
charities would have loved to get their mitts on the dosh.)
Echo & the Bunnymen, Ian McClulloch (sic) is - I believe - still with
the same woman he first met in the mid-80s. I don't know if they are
married, but I believe they have two kids.
Lastly, Martin Fry of ABC is still married to - ack..what's her name?
I can't remember her name, but she is this gorgeous black woman from
one of the 80s bands. They have been together for many years
and have two drop-dead gorgeous kids (I mean, seriously gorgeous,
especially the daughter). I admire the wife a lot because she once
reported him to the police after she found out that he drove home,
thoroughly drunk. He got a heavy fine out of that one and apparently,
she made it very clear that she'd do it again if he'd ever pull that
stunt again. With her help, he got over his drinking problem a few
years ago. Many people agreed that they are a nice couple.

I'm not certain, but I think Rich may be divorced now. I remember when he got
married, I think I read it in RIP LOL.
I think Jack Irons (Pearl Jam's drummer, at least for now) has been married at
least 8 or 9 years.

RIP! I miss that magazine. Wish I could get Kerrang! on a regular basis
here. R.I.P. RIP!
Anyone know if Lonn Friend is still in the record industry? That's what he
left RIP to do -- AOR for Warner, I think it was?

I miss it too, I had a subscription to RIP for 5 years, until it folded when,
late 1996? It was so much better than Circus and Hit Parader, they did actual
interviews and had a lot more variety, plus the writing overall was better
IMHO.
I haven't heard a thing about Lonn Friend in a long time, though.

Yeah, he was AOR for one of the biggies; WB maybe? I had some dealings with
him in AOR about a year ago but I haven't heard from or about him since then.

Kerrang!?! It's still around. My favourite was RAW - but I think it
was folded (I stopped buying this mag about four years ago). As far as
I am concerned, Mojo is the best music magazine in the UK right now -
even I don't read many music mags these days.

I actuallly enjoyed Circus more than RIP and Hit Parader, I think. I
can't remember why. Hit Parader was really for the teenagers - a lot
of photos, IIRC. Granted, RIP had more interesting columns, but it was
rather dodgy in some parts. I can't remember why I thought this. Ah,
well.

Was he the one who wrote a lot about his 'friends' (aka rock stars)?
Was he the editor?

Was she the one with blonde wispy hair (a bit like Betty of The Golden

she wear a leather jacket? I remember reading that advice column,
thinking, "How bizarre!" Especially, IIRC, when almost all letters
started with 'Dear Mom,...'

ThorntnFan knows the Bono that exists for several months a year when he's at
home and being a devoted husband and father, while SassyMs and several others
know the Bono that exists for 8 or 9 months of the year when he's recording or
touring away from his family and turns into a pussy hound. Agreed? ;-)

I think that was her. Of course if you're really old like me, you can
remember when Lita Ford's mother was writing the column (till she croaked)
and before that Ma Nuge (Ted Nugent's mom). What I remember most about Lonn
was how frequently he put photos of his daughter in the magazine----and that
bug-eyed baby was no beauty.

I remember that!
Didn't Lonn also do something called the Friend Report during the waning days
of Headbanger's Ball in the U.S. on Saturday nights? (I specify in the U.S.
because I believe that Headbanger's Ball is still alive and well on MTV
Europe.)

photos on the wall of himself *naked* with rock stars. Euuuuu!
FWIW, Lonn went on to an A&R position with Arista records in 94 and RIP
was canned around 95-96. Earlier this year, he tried to launch a mag
about "extreme golf" (whatever the hell that is) but it never saw the
light of day. Don't know what he's doing now.

Steven Adler's mum had a thankfully short lived advice column in
Kerrang - and it was total pants.

I dunno where he is now, and the only Riki story I have to sare is that I
attended his halloween party in 1991, because Danzig was playing, and Riki was
most gracious and personable and was dressed as a Ninja Turtle.
I always wanted to write for RIP. I sent 'em my resume and clips a bunch of
times but never got a bite. One time, they had the nerve to send me a T-shirt,
like I was some kind of teenybopper looking for a freebie....and it wasn't even

Danzig!! LOL. I got a heresay story about that one. I think the
vocalist's name is Glenn, right? Danzig was over here, doing the tour
and one night, they got into this song - I think - Black Summer(?)
When it ended, someone shouted, "Let's sing Jolly Bright Winter"
Glenn glared at the joker in the audience, and flatly replied,"You
know, I love live performance art. I'd like you to volunteer. Would
you?" The joker said he would. The vocalist blandly smiled and said,
"Good, because we are going to do 'Let's Beat the Shit out of a
*Jolly* Fucker'."
I don't know if this is true, but I thought it was funny anyway. I
mean, the vocalist isn't exactly well known for being a comedian.

I used to be friendly with someone who knew him and he said that he owned a few
restaurants/clubs and had invested pretty wisely and never had to work again.

Glenn Danzig is one of my guilty pleasures. I'd do him anytime, anywhere.
