The Axes of Those Who Rock

The best thing about any Hard Rock Café are the guitars hanging up on the wall. About every other one was owned and signed by some super incredible rock god. The other ones between were usually owned by an artist who I don't consider Rock and Roll and isn't worthy of being walled. Pictured here are the best ones; the up top belonged to Slash of Guns 'n' Roses, you know him, the guy who was always wearing the top hat, and had such long hair you never saw his face. To the right is a pair of Tom Petty's jeans and a guitar belonging to The Traveling Wilburys, a band who put out three albums, and was made up of Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty, George Harrison and Roy Orbison. Yeah, no kidding. Pretty much the best band ever. Down in the bottom is the bass played by Bill Wyman, bassist for the Rolling Stones from 1962 to 1991. I like the Stones, quite a bit, but this guitar is mostly up there because it looks really neat. All the sudden I have a terrible need to listen to November Rain.
