This is Spinal Tap.
RIP Alex Harvey. Your wit, your shenanigans have not been forgotten... not after all these years, and getting a statue the size of a pinhead.
Please don't think this is rude. It only looks this way in the video. I love the palms, too. My next trip back to Scotland, will visit for sure!!!

I could cry. Alex is so much missed... always will be.

[@TimLondonGuitarist]

Should've been a Mount Rushmore style carving into Arthur's Seat (or the Glaswegian equivalent)

[@jaynedoe1959]

I discovered him & SAHB early on.
The entire group was fabulous & "SENSATIONAL"
My bands covered him/them & if ever I`m in another band I will again.
I was very sad when he passed.
I still am & miss him & I still love watching & listening to him.
...a big influence on music!

[@mrlucky777]

that's not a bust,that's a paper weight! for goodness sake,why not a life-sized statue like the one of Phil Lynott in Dublin?

[@warvandal3443]

I actually felt embarassed when he whipped the cover away.

[@janrobson9247]

mrlucky777 it’s dolly sized. He was so wonderful... oh and it doesn’t look like him.

[@TimLondonGuitarist]

a bit like Spinal Tap's little Stonehenge, Alex would've laughed

[@nelsonnoname001]

YESSSSS!!! FFS

[@malcolmbliss777]

Alex Harvey changed my life more than my own family did. The man is as close to a God in my life as one man could possibly be.

[@user-cs8sx3fi1y]

Sloppliness . Alex is a LEGEND.

[@bulkington3272]

Long live Alex Harvey!

[@maddog8621]

Glad that Alex is still loved. But use a bit more stuff in the next bust...... Actually, it looks a bit more like George Best

[@amazinghangover4233]

Well done all Alex - Still a genius

[@77doriella]

Bloody insult to the great man, although Alex would have probably seen the funny side of it.

[@Mark-sd7fc]

Alex Harvey and the sensational Alex Harvey Offspring

[@XidiotX]

why so big? couldnt they make the bust a little bit smaller?

[@MachoDocMD]

His son sounds a lot like his dad, I wonder if he ever tried to sing?

[@janinefarnell8570]

I agree. Yes he does.

[@bete8noir]

Totally agree with Michael Daley

[@adriannewman5881]

brilliant Alex would say, Next.

[@neilraymond3304]

Yeah painting not too good and couldn't see the statuette too clear, but hey Alex you will always be the man. Thank you mate for everything, and this coming from a Sassenach! See you one day at the Boston Tea Party.

[@drewcampbell8555]

The painting is brilliant - captures the humour beautifully, I think.

[@MRROBBIEWATTS]

....'NEXT'!

[@MrMagusperde]

Greatest performer live in the 70's

[@michaelhamer1277]

fantastic..vango rools...

[@TheSeafordian]

You'll be disappointed with that.

[@kelvinmarshall9108]

Not a good likeness of the great man..but better than nothing!!!!!!

[@boomerhgt]

Actually it's an insult a shrunken head right enough the painting is way better

[@geoffreycarson2311]

WALL & MUST

[@kevinfroude8679]

I was lucky enough to see the band live and Alex was much larger than life. Sorry but that bust does not reflect the man I saw on stage.

[@jumpfortyfour9965]

looks nothing like him who did it steve wonder

[@mukhumor]

Oh my god! Fucking worse than the Ronaldo one! Rule No1 in Portraiture: never make the subject make a 'face'... even if it is a 'catchphrase' face. If it is a monument, don't make it a 'Cheeky Chappy'.

[@itsayesfromme2669]

A bit of an insult to the man's memory. Best front man in the very best band Scotland has ever produced - a shrunken head ? Come on, we can do better than that, surely ? It's like Strawberry Fields in New York's Central Park, I pished myself laughing when I saw it, it's utterly pathetic.

[@naderbolandi7274]

the small big man...RIP....

[@jiplix]

Better than nothing someone said, I don't know, the man was bigger than any statue, I don't think I will be going out of my way to see this bust or that painting is it just me or is that shyte? No offense meant to anyone but is it just me?

[@mollyrolo]

+jiplix Nope, not just you. It was obviously made by someone who never knew him or his music.

[@GFSTaylor]

I thought the bust was pretty good, though it's a shame that the money raised apparently wasn't enough for something a bit bugger. Not so keen on the painting: I've done better ones of Alex myself.

[@colinmcquail442]

Let’s see one please

[@boomerhgt]

Self praise is no honour no artist is going to make a crap statement like that so I'm questing your full of shit

[@doggod07]

I don't think it even looks like him! FFS!

[@laurasinfield2431]

that is not good...sorry

[@michaeldaley5831]

sorry but it looks nothing like him.

[@janicetaylor3721]

I completely agree. :(
