I went to see the good the bad and the queen last week and Paul Simonon looked much smaller than i expected, imdb says he is 6ft but he looked much smaller. My friend disagrees with me and says that it's his skinniness that's thrown me.

His middle name is Gustave.

He looks tall to me, but maybe he is surrounded by short arses.

sorry, i just like looking at pictures of paul simonon. he was so cool. best dressed rocker ever?

― scott seward (scott seward), Monday, 5 February 2007 15:03 (eighteen years ago)

He didn't disappoint in the flesh, maybe it was the fact that Damon Albarn was so unexpectedly beefy that threw me.

i shouldn't have said WAS cool. he still looks pretty darn cool.

I met him and Joe Strummer when I was in 8th Grade. I was significantly taller than both of them, but Simonon was much taller than Strummer.

(I really misread the thread title first as "How tall is Paul Simon?" And wondered mightiliy, why wasn't the question worded as "How small... Although the "middle name Gustave" was an even greater 'surprise':)

It comes from Wikipedia, so I suppose it might be false.

Unfortunately, Paul Simonon is not there.

'Celebheights.com' We need this?!! How in god's name did you find this, Mark?

Generally when you google "celebrity name" and "height" it's one of the first sites that comes up.

"imdb says he is 6ft"

Sounds about right, maybe 6'1" / 6'2".

I was hoping this thread would be nothing but punchlines, a la:

"A manificent seven...feet?"

Paul Simon on what?

― M. Agony Von Bontee (M. Agony Von Bontee), Monday, 5 February 2007 22:10 (eighteen years ago)

I am sure he is taller than Paul Simon.

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Monday, 5 February 2007 22:11 (eighteen years ago)

I am sure you are taller than Paul Simon, Geir.

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 5 February 2007 22:12 (eighteen years ago)

M. Agony Von Bontee wins.

― m0stly clean (m0stly clean), Monday, 5 February 2007 23:42 (eighteen years ago)

I am 6'2", and I was about 6'1" when I met him. He's 5'11" tops. Strummer was amazingly short, amazingly to me at that time anyway.

― Fetchin Bones (Fetchin Bones), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 00:22 (eighteen years ago)

Paul Simon is 5'2". as in, Tom Cruise short.

Depends on how exact one's day time is obviously!

― tiit (tiit), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 17:49 (eighteen years ago)

He's big enough to play bass for Damon Albarn!

― Phil Knight (PhilK), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 21:44 (eighteen years ago)

― FACEBRACE (FACEBRACE), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 22:15 (eighteen years ago)

It's a perfectly reasonable question which anyone might ask who.... uh.... OK, look, just wait there, I'll be right back....

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 22:53 (eighteen years ago)

I'm 6 ft 1.

But I'm not Paul Simonon.

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 8 February 2007 10:13 (eighteen years ago)

imdb says he is 6ft but he looked much smaller

He's old, so maybe he's shrunk?

― Tom D. (Dada), Thursday, 8 February 2007 10:17 (eighteen years ago)

He's not that old.

― leigh (leigh), Thursday, 8 February 2007 10:54 (eighteen years ago)

Gustav is his middle name. FACT.
It's the same bass (with his name carved in) what i want to know is, is it the same hat?

It is the same hate, yes.

"Hat and War", what was that the b-side of again?

― Tom D. (Dada), Thursday, 8 February 2007 11:32 (eighteen years ago)

It was off "Give 'em enough rop"

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 8 February 2007 11:50 (eighteen years ago)

I could have sworn it was the b-side of "White Rio"

― Tom D. (Dada), Thursday, 8 February 2007 11:55 (eighteen years ago)

No, that was "197"
