Andy Gibb's hotness

He had fur not hair

OP - I don't think it had anything to do with his brothers. It was too much fame too quickly. Most people aren't mentally able to handle that. So much to take in at one time and not enough hours in a day. Until they discover cocaine, (or something similar). That is what primarily led to his downfall.

I think addiction, plain and simple. His brothers by all accounts were extremely supportive and Andy had no small measure of his own fame. Loved him and still love his music.

All you have to do is just say no!

You have all of this intense success and then the decade changes and its pretty much over.

A lot of people forgot about this, but supposedly he was also completely broken up about his break-up with Victoria Principal.

Then again, it might have only been The National Enquirer reporting that.

[quote]A lot of people forgot about this, but supposedly he was also completely broken up about his break-up with Victoria Principal.

I got over it.

Nice teeth

R6 Actually, Victoria Principal left him because of his drug use. He publicly trashed her and blamed her for his troubles, but she never responded.

I saw an interview with her a few years ago where she discussed the relationship, and she said she would never speak ill of him publicly, because she knew he was deep in his addiction.

I give her credit for not responding and making it worse for him.

I loved his tight little ass and his bulge when he'd wear those Angels Flight pants in the 70s.

Why did he start using in the first place? Was he abused in his younger days?

Who knows? I remember seeing one of those E! channel bios on him a while back, and they interviewed his mother. She seemed rather cold and emotionless to me, and I wondered if that relationship could have affected him.

He married at 18, so he must have been desperate to get out of the house.

Apparently, he was clean and sober at the time of his death and was working on a new album. But the years of drug abuse had taken their toll and he died of myocarditis.

Andy Gibb was the Little Bee Gee. He was like a beautiful comet that exploded all at once and then quickly disappeared. Drugs and booze did him in. I remember seeing him on a Bob Hope Special and he was so high that he could hardly say his simple lines. Another rock star ruined by drugs and drinking.

Drugs and booze were destroying musicians before there ever was such a thing as rock 'n' roll, R15.

I see you eyes in the morning light . . .

I remember watching the John Davidson Talk Show on which Andy Gibb first met Principal

R13 I think he was married to someone in Australia. His record company wanted to keep it a secret so his fans thought he was still single

Did he ever show his todger?

R18 I thought he was introduced to Victoria in the Dinah Shore Show.

Too damned short and tiny. Big bro Barry was the hot one in that family.

All the Bee Gee boys, except Robin, were cute in their youth. Lulu wouldn't have married a minger.

I happened to click on an old article from 2012. It was a brief interview with Lesley Gibb. She mentioned that she mightn't see Robin for a decade and then he'd appear, never using her name but addressing her as "sister".

It's interesting that the main trio had differing ways of getting high - makes them all seem somewhat solitary, even in their partying.

Sadly, Andy would be a grandfather had he lived. His daughter Peta is married with two sons.

Correct to the poster who said that he met Victoria Principal on the Dinah Shore show.

[quote]His daughter Peta is married with two sons.

Are they also named after activist groups?

My understanding from what I've read is that Andy was a troubled youth and was using drugs even earlier than when his career took off. So while that success may have contributed, Andy had demons long before his career happened. Maybe the success of his brothers was a big weight on his shoulders to achieve himself. There is also a decent enough age gap between Andy and the Bee Gee boys. Enough for him to have been a spoiled recipient of their success.

That 70s hairstyle. Oy. But all was forgiven with an open shirt and tight pants. What hairstyle ???

Some people are more predisposed to addiction, be it drugs , alcohol or smoking, than others. I'm sure the pressures of stardom contributed to Andy's drug addiction. I knew too many around me who became abusers of drugs and alcohol so I never tried anything stronger than pot.

Maybe, just maybe he had a teeny tiny penis

^^ That's often the case with those guys who mature early with a lot of body hair. And they're short too.

Tiny! Short! Tiny peen! Some of you are shallow and not worth knowing beyond DL.

Andy on one of Bob Hope's specials (late '70s or early 80s).

He was so beautiful, the only person he wanted to fuck was himself. And though his cock was of respectable length, it did not reach his ass.

RIP, Andy.

Victoria liked guys who were much younger. She tried to pick up a hot guy I used to work with who was at least 10 years her junior, maybe 15. He told a very detailed story and said he really regretted turning her down but it was his. birthday and he was having dinner with his girlfriend that night.

Andy had fabulous hair. I spent hours with a blow dryer and brush trying to recreate it. But he was way too hairy for me.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

He looks just like that guy Swan from The Warriors-Michael Beck. 2 hot babes.

I remember beating off to this thinking he was nude.

He was so beautiful.

I didn't realize he was only 30 when he died. Even at the start of his career, he looked older than his years.

Please to enjoy this moose knuckle.

One of his demons was Victoria Principal. They had a hot affair; they even did a duet together (she could not sing at all). But the relationship was doomed; she supposedly told him "choose me or choose drugs." At any rate the relationship ended and he was said to be devastated by it. All that success and he blew it big time. At the time of his death he was broke. Another sad Hollywood story.

Another annoying Hollywood story.

He was the first artist to have his first three singles hit #1 on the U.S. pop charts. "Shadow Dancing" was the #1 hit song of 1978, dominating the charts that summer. Somewhere I have a photo that a friend of mine took of him wearing pink silk pants at a music event that year, showing a lot more bulge than what we've seen in this thread so far.

Old ladies loved him

unlike the BeeGees, he appeared on all their favorite talk shows.

R44 is right. My mother loved him. "That cute little Andy GibbS" as she called him. She also raved about his performance as Olivia Newton-John's love interest in XANADU....which he wasn't in.

My mom was kind of a ditz.

Gibb-adjacent:

Strange that he looked so much like Heath Ledger, who also suffered a drug-related early demise.

not hot.

He was OK, but I lost any attraction once he permed his hair for Solid Gold.

It always seemed like VP used him to try to get a singing career going. Also, she is not the sweet innocent. He was addicted but she also used coke and other drugs while dating him. Barry wouldn't let her go to his funeral. I think there was more to the story then she is telling.

.....

r51, what a shitty song by two relics.

So much misinformation. Yes it was the John Davidson show that Andy met Victoria in person for the first time. There is a video of it floating around on YouTube. His childhood wasn't that troubled. His brothers hit it big in Australia by the time he was 5 or 6 so he grew up in luxury for the most part. He did get bullied because of who his brothers were and quit school at 13 and shortly thereafter his mother put his first band together. He worshiped Barry and they were the closest even though Barry is almost 12 years older than him. He always saw himself as inadequate and didn't think he deserved the success because he had and only got it because of his brothers. He couldn't handle the quick fame then decline like his brothers did. The Bee Gees and their older sister grew up in some pretty harsh conditions in England before leaving for Australia shortly after Andy was born. They had a tough skin because of that and because they had gone through a lot of rejection. They also knew how to handle being extremely famous then go into a decline as it had happened to them in the 60's.

Andy's mother was far from cold. If anything, she coddled/babied him too much. By all accounts he never grew up and froze in time maturity wise around 16-17. He got married at 18 against the advise of his and her family. Barry was ready to produce his debut album in Miami and Andy would have to move from Australia, so he thought if they got married they could stay together. Then then moved to LA so Andy could start promoting the album and near RSO. That's when his wife said he really went off the rails as far as cocaine use goes and she said he started getting paranoid. She left him and returned to Australia and found out she was pregnant. Andy filed for divorce after she left but said he would be there for the birth of their child. He wasn't and saw her only once when she was 2 but spoke to her frequently on the phone. Her name is common in Australia.

VP did do drugs, but not at the rate he did. She was able to do it recreationally and never got addicted. I think he was much more vested in the relationship then she was and when she broke up with him he was devastated and it took a while for him to recover. She didn't wait very long to start seeing Dr. Harry Glassman, who she would later marry. Andy actually took her to him when she got her eyes done. During that time he was fired from Solid Gold, blackballed from NBC for a time by Bob Hope after not showing up for a TV special taping and fired from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

Out of the brothers though he did have the biggest hit in the 80's out of all of them with "Desire" which went top 5 in early 1980. It was initially a throwaway track from the Bee Gees Spirits Having Flown album. His final studio album was a disaster and Barry had to cover for him vocally quite a bit. He didn't show up to the studio for the duets with Olivia Newton-John and Barry had to record them and Andy added his vocal in later. The album was supposed to come out in the summer of 79 but was delayed until early 1980 because of Andy's erratic behavior.

The Gibb children, including Andy's daughter Peta are putting together a tribute album. I've always heard Robin's son Spencer had the most talent out of all the Gibb offspring.

I love that song r51. He and Olivia shared a close friendship and did a couple of duets together. He was also in at least 1 of her TV specials. I think originally he WAS supposed to have been the love interest in Xanadu, but it didn't pan out.

He makes more sense than Michael Beck being in it.

He was never in consideration for a role in Xanadu.

He was actually supposed to be the lead in Grease sequel, where he would play ONJ's cousin, but failed his screentest on top of the escalating drug problems.

Victoria Principal was one of Bernie Cornfeld's harem (along with the fabulous Vicki Morgan).

Ryan Murphy should do an American Crime Story about Vicki Morgan's murder. It has it all...drugs, money, S&M, and her lover Alfred Bloomindale was married to the hideous Betsy Bloomindale, Nancy Reagan's best friend.

I really Loved him in such a star struck way as a 14 year old girl. I lived in my step father's houseboat that summer that was moored in Key Biscayne. I was playing with the sand on the beach when he emerged from a boat and walked past me. It happened so fast. The beach was very small, private and he just walked past me and nodded and smiled it was only when he was past me did I realize it was him. His boat was named - Shadow Dancer.

Does Victoria's pussy stink?

[quote] He was actually supposed to be the lead in Grease sequel, where he would play ONJ's cousin, but failed his screentest on top of the escalating drug problems.

[italic]Gimme A Break![/italic] knew how to handle him since they'd already helped get Nell off drugs by the time he was on it.

For r60:

Instead of ONJ, it's Marie:

A performance in Australia before he hit the big time

r64, Marie Osmond had no right to sing that fucking song!

Okay, r66: here's one for ya -

ahh. that's just what i needed r67!

I like R45's mom.

Interesting, R53!

R59, the Vicki Morgan story has already been done -- Dominick Dunne's "An Inconvenient Woman" was filmed in the 90s, with Jason Robards and Jill Eikenberry as the Bloomingdales, and an excellent Rebecca DeMornay as Vicki.

[quote] "Whitney Houston comes to mine. I wonder why that is."

Whitney Houston comes to your what, R35?

I hate motherfuckers like r57, who have no idea what they are talking about, but proclaim information anyway.

Xanadu (1980) - Trivia - IMDb www.imdb.com/title/tt0081777/trivia Xanadu (1980) Trivia on IMDb: Cameos, Mistakes, Spoilers and more... ... Andy Gibb was originally cast to play Sonny. 20 of 20 found this interesting Interesting ...

R65, thank you for that clip. It's interesting to see him at 17 with his original teeth. His nose looks different, too.

[quote] Its interesting how empathetic and sympathetic Dataloungers are toward Gibb and his cocaine addiction, versus some other well known cocaine addicts. Whitney Houston comes to mine. I wonder why that is.

Was it because Andy did not go around outright lying that "CRACK is WHACK!" while he was using it on national television before millions of viewers? or was it because Andy never went on TV like a sweating grotesque mess? Or was it because Andy did not talk while strung-out on drugs to the television about his romantic partner pulling a small turd out of his ass?

Those are just a few possible reasons

Andy dated Kari Michaelsen from Gimme a Break after he appeared on the show.

He also dated Donna Rice when he moved back to Miami in 1986. Here's Andy in a commercial for Minute Maid Orange Soda that was shot at an Crystal Beach Amusement Park in Ontario in 1984. It features DL fave Erin Moran along with Heather Locklear and Michael Damien. Andy and Heather would've made a gorgeous 80's couple.

Yikes, those teeth at R65!

In addition to having his teeth capped, it looks like he may have had the bump on the end of his nose taken off. God those kids were annoying in R65's clip.

Robin said that shortly before Andy died, he was wasted and hit his face against a wall at Robin's estate and lost a lot of teeth.

Right? What's with all the confetti throwing?

God, he was an almighty fuck up. At least he didn't sprinkle myriad bastards to the four corners of the earth.

The bee gees offspring including Andys daughter peta and Leslie's daughter beri (who was raised as a sister by the bee gees/Andys parents) are about to release a tribute album.

Here's the first song.. It features both of Maurice's kids Adam and Samantha, Barry's oldest son Stephen , robins oldest son spencer and Andys daughter pets.

I wonder if Andy would have had tattoos.

Barry Gibb was the one who had the head of hair that resembled a lion's mane.

Young Barry and Andy looked so much alike.

Andy got me through puberty. I would lay in my bedroom with my headphones on listening to his music while staring at his picture on the album cover. Loved him.

r59 is that what 'An Inconvenient Woman' is based on? Loved that book by Dominick Dunne.

The story of the Gibb Brothers is quite a sad one, Barry is the oldest brother and he is the only one alive. Barry was the main songwriter and in my humble opinion the hottest of them all. Very prolific songwriters.

Overall creep Jimmy Savile introduced Barry to his wife of almost 50 years.

Here they are doing an acoustics version of Blue Island.

Yes, An Inconvenient Woman is based on Vicki Morgan.

please more of the Gibb Brothers

R89 That video on from the Midnight Special shows how great the Bee Gees were even before they broke out big with Saturday Night Fever soundtrack.

Yep and they could also deliver those songs live. Here is Barry in 2014 doing Nights on Broadway, falsetto and all.

He was beautiful to me as a little pencil-dialing fan, at the peak of his brief pop fame. "I Just Want to Be Your Everything" is a great song of its era.

Those tight satin pants on all those TV appearances! That gorgeous mane of feathered hair. Those eyes.

My favorite Bee Gees song. Love the lyrics.

why didn't he have lips?

Marie Osmond referred to Andy Gibb as being "empty". He got too much, too soon at a young age, including all the drugs and booze, and he and his career spiraled out of control. Sad He didn't have the skills to deal with everything that was happening to him.

I think a lot of people thought "Emotion" was a Bee Gees song. Samantha Sang was a friend and they wrote the song for her. It's too bad the song wasn't initially recorded by someone with a better voice (Yvonne elliman would've done great with the song). Sangs vocals are so weak that that the gibb brothers backing vocals and harmonies carried the song.

Destinys Child recorded "Emotion" in the early 2000s and when Kelly Rowland interviewed Beyoncé about songwriting bey talked about the creative process and inspiration for writing songs like emotion.

Barry gibb was very generous with splitting songwriting credits. When Andy was recording his first album, Barry would often come up with the title of a song first then write around it. When he was collaborating with Andy, he asked him to come up with some titles, Andy said "thicker than water" and Barry crafted "(love is) thicker than water for Andy" but gave him equal songwriting credit/points for the song. He also offered to give albhy gaulten half credit for grease but he declined. Both songs were massive hits.

Barry was super hot when he was young. Very good looking guy with great hair and a beautiful body to match.

Robin had a beautiful first tenor voice, very unusual with the vibrato too.

So many great songs!

I crushed hard on Barry when he did the duets with Barbra, back in '80 or '81.

There should be a Disco special on the Grammys, just to piss off the white right wing rockers who pushed the Disco Sucks movement because they didn't like that Blacks and Gays had so much fun on the dancefloor and were dominating the charts.

R97 Beautiful song and video clip. This was when the Bee Gees were in their singing prime as opposed to the disco years when they started to sound like shrill mice.

Barry was always the Gibb for me

I never liked Jive Talking, but Nights on Broadway and Stayin' Alive to me were great dance songs with big, fat groovy beats. Just the opening bass line on Stayin' Alive was so cool and to this day immediately identifiable the second the song comes on.

This was Andy's last recording. It was part of a 4 track demo he did in 1987 which helped him get a record deal with Island. Andy, Barry and Maurice worked on the songs together in Miami after Andy finished another stint in rehab. The full song didn't get released until the Bee Gee's Anthology CD set was released in 2010, but parts of it were heard on the Behind the Music special on Andy in 1997. Had he lived, I don't know if it would've been a hit, but it's a nice 80's pop tune. I think Maurice is doing the majority of the backing vocals on this one, and there's not too much falsetto on the track.

There are clips of him on youtube doing the LA version of The Pirates of Penzance. He's actually pretty good. I wonder how his attendance was. I read he was fired from Joseph and the Amazing.... on Broadway because he missed too many shows.

(Btw I blame Victoria Principal)

Robin had a bi-sexual wife and a kid with the housekeeper.

He started well in Pirates, but started missing shows, though the producers did rehire him to do a short run of the show with Barry Bostwick in 1982 in Toronto. His reviews for Pirates and Joseph were solid. He was doing drugs before Victoria Principal, his ex wife said when they moved to LA, he became ensconced in the drug scene up there and would disappear for long periods of time. She started finding small buckets of bleach around their apartment in West Hollywood and didn't know why until she was told that it was to test the purity of cocaine. If it was pure, the cocaine would sink to the bottom, if it floated there was something added to it.

No wonder he died. He wasn't just snorting coke, he was snorting the bleach they soaked it in.

It's a shame so much of the Bee Gees first era of popularity is overshadowed by their success after "Jive Talkin'" . They had SO many hits in the 60s like "Gotta Get A Message To You", "I Started A Joke" , "Massachusetts" "Lonely Days", "Run To Me" (my favorite) and capping it off with their biggest hit "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart".

(Love Is) Thicker Than Water is without a doubt the stupidest title of any song I've ever heard, but the ending of the song is absolutely lovely.

And after that but before [italic]Fever[/italic], they had "Love, Be Tender With My Fanny."

I think Robin and Maurice are glad they died before they got to know that their brother Barry was a fan of Donald Trump.

Ugh, no wonder they all didn't get along.

R110, I wonder if there is a clinical term for someone who has to connect every topic under the sun to President Trump. Do you have any type of social life? Any friends at all?

There seems to be a lot of them here, r111. Probably suffering from Trumpitis.

Are you afraid of facts R111? I do think this is relevant to this thread.

Barry Gibb is a deplorable.

The topic is Andy Gibb's hotness and you connect it to your pathological hatred of Trump. You're sad and lonely.

Not much more sad and lonely than somebody salivating over a junkie who died almost 30 years ago.

Not as said as a tedious queen like r115. Change your shit rag. This is a gossip board cunt people talk about celebrity crushes past and present dead or alive all the time.

[quote](Love Is) Thicker Than Water is without a doubt the stupidest title of any song I've ever heard, but the ending of the song is absolutely lovely.

Does it mean the same as 'blood is thicker than water'?
