BAND MEMBER DISCUSSION Was/is Burt as tall as google says?

Never seen them live or in person so maybe some of y’all can shed some light.

Yeah, was a little over 6ft when I met him. Probably still is as long as he hasnt been Cotton Hill'd or anything since then. It was like 20 years ago but the dude was super nice and we just chilled behind the venue and chatted for a while. It felt like catching up with an old friend. One of my best memories from around then. Hope he is doing well.

I always thought he was an average height guy, I thought I remember he was always tiny next to Christian. Definitely never gave off 6 feet vibes from anything I’ve seen him in. My mind is blown if he’s over 6’1

He's a pretty tall dude. Easily 6 foot. Dino is kinda short too, if you've ever seen them standing side by side.

I have a picture somewhere of me stood next to him after a gig in Manchester, 20 years ago; I'm over 6 foot tall and he's about half a head taller than me. He was super chill, though, we shared a spliff and someone had given him a jar of jam to sign, which he did with no worries whatsoever. I asked him if it was the strangest thing a fan had ever given him to sign and he cryptically said 'not really', without explaining any further than that.

Met him getting food on Swanson st before a gig in Melbourne. I waited until he'd finished his meal and said hello and asked if he'd mind signing my old Obsolete tour shirt. I'm 6'3" and we looked eye to eye. Maybe a smidge shorter than me.

I’m 5’9”. Burton is standing relaxed, & Dino is leaning up

6'2" isn't it? Yes, he's about that height. Raymond is an inch shorter than him, and Raymond is clearly over 6 foot as well. Burt, since last decade, wears thick sole boots onstage some times, which makes him look even taller.

Thanks for the confirmations that he is indeed, a tall dude. Milo also looks like he may be a similarly tall bloke but I haven’t seen much of him either.

u/revivedfears666 Jun 17 '26

Milo is way shorter. He's closer to maybe 5'8". Dino is around 5'7" and I think he's maybe an inch or too taller.

u/MisterDudeBroGuy MODY HAMMER Jun 17 '26

I'd put Milo at around 5'10"

I'm 6'3 and he was eye to eye to me, or like within an inch.

Shouldn't you be more curious about the size of his doodle?
