The www sabi rock man

Click to see ‘The www sabi rock man’ in a variety of different sizesUpdates: www Sabi Rock man revealed…… Sabi Rock Man Flickr Group
The www sabi rock man has been a regular feature under this Trinity Way bridge for some time. I reckon it’s months rather than weeks now.

It’ll be that long that I’ve been planning to check out his URL, but only now that I realise it’s not a proper web address. He dresses in black with a hat that makes him look like one of the Voodoo bad guys from Live and Let Die… makes me hum the Paul McCartney theme tune.

    See this guy everyday, he lives in gorton near bellevue, his regular walk is up and down hyde road.

    I will ask him what hes about-the next time i see him and tell him to get a proper site up seeing as his page is just a holding page…..

    Me and Moz see Sabi all the time and we always yell from the window of our passing transit van “Hay Sabi rock on man!” We get no response. The man is a rock. We see him on Trinity way most of the time but we have had sittings else were in Manchester. Sabi if your reading this “Rock on man!”

  11. tigergaz says:

    his website used to be up. He was advertising his own music (which was pretty shit).

    I think SidReighn is right he probably doesn’t know the site is down.

    I saw him about a week ago in piccadilly sat on the fence rails near the bus station. I asked if i could take a picture and he said “yeh fine as long as you arnt associated with all these websites that think i am a random lunatic!” so i asked what is the point he is a solo rock artist from down south and its a sort of gimic for publicity. He is a really nice guy, was polite and far from a lunatic i have pictures on my phone as proof.

  13. Stephen Newton says:

    To be fair, I’ve not seen anybody call him a lunatic and reckon any web attention he’s got has only helped his cause… whatever that might be.

    I was on this website today, and then i went to town afterwards where i saw sabi rock, so i spoke to him and asked him wot the whole thing is about, and its a teaser campaign apparently.

    I reckon it’s been at least two years since I first saw this guy! It’s starting to get a little like when Forrest Gump went running! I think he just woke up one day and thought it was a good idea…

  20. JB says:

    Saw him yesterday morning, about 6.45am near MEN Arena

    how come you people can’t spell?? Sense is spelt like that (not sence) and what is Domi trying to say?? Can’t you write in proper English instead of crap “text speak” Or are you all thick?

    Sabiman is a Manchester institution !!!
    When i see him next im gunna speak to him – i dont care if the lights go green and im at the head of the rush hour traffic! i bet he won’t speak to me though:-( i bet he’s a spaceman who has been sent to watch us! the real truth is he’s probably researching the future congestion charge for number 10 :-(
