Some pople live and die by their favorite bands. Just thought id throw it out there. Not so long ago I found this pinball machine for 100 US dollars at a swap meet. It didnt work at the time. I rebuilt the whole machine and got it working correctly. It was made in 1978. Its a conversation piece now that im bored with it but Id thought id ask , if anyone has anything kewl from their favorite groups.

Also I have a Alice Cooper doll, along with Joan Jett and Joey Ramone and Slash.

Well that's cool i've got a jimmy page and a gene simmons action figures, and a miniature kramer baretta eddie van halen...
And i also own 2 guitar pics flipped, one by Yngwie Malmsteen and the other one from George Lynch at the ultimate world guitar exibition in Bologna.
I was in the first row and before the show i shoot photos with doug aldrich and george lynch, and george asked me where to buy cigarettes!
I also have photos with jennifer batten(michael jackson) and ringo (is a famous italian dj and motorcycle rider)
Unfortunately i wasn't able to get pics with glenn huges and malmsteen.
Anyway it was a great show and glen huges dedicated the concert to ronnie dio who died after a few hours...

My coolest items are Tommy Lee's drumstick that I caught on the Dr Feelgood tour and an original pressing of the Stick to your Guns/ Toast of the Town single autographed by Nikki Sixx.
I got Ace Frehley's guitar pick, the Motley figures boxset, a Slash figure, a stack of 80s tour shirts, programs and posters. I have the incredibly rare Motley Crue '85 biography too. Also worth a mention I have glam Pantera album Power Metal signed by the whole band.

The Original Appatite for Destruction cover before it was banned. I bought in late 1987.

Heres the tour shirt that got me kicked out of soooo many classes in school.

Back when OzzFest was here I wore my Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast tour shirt from 1981. Just tryin to represent and all. A rhoadie from Rob Zombie jumped off the stage between sets and offers me 200 USD for it right there, I say NO ! then he whips out 2 backstage passes and offers them plus the money for the shirt. That I couldnt turn dow, I sold it to him. That was in 2003. I regret to this day giving that one up.

No I had drinks with Rob Zombie and his working crew. The badge was for Zombie so I got hosed out of shaking hands with Ozzy Osbourne.

The shirt was from the 81 Number of the Beast tour when they played here with Forigner , Heart , Loverboy and The Scorpions.

LOL the Guns n' Roses was here shirt. They don't make em' like that any more

I've got my Motley Crue shirt with their mascot (what was his name again?) sticking his head between a pair o' legs, and some shirts from their more recent tours.

A guitar pick and money with Alice Cooper's face on it, both caught with pride at an Alice Cooper concert.

Keith Richards action figure.

Lots n' lots of vinyl.

Always have tried to chase down the Crue action figures but I never found any anyplace other than eBay, and even then I didn't have enough $$$.

**I've got lots of KISS vinyl(some so old, they've got the circular impression of the disc causing the album art to fade ).

**I've got the original 12" KISS dolls(funny thing about those -- the Gene, Ace & Peter dolls all have "G.I. Joe" doll bodies(muscles, etc.), but for some reason the Paul Stanley doll has a "Ken Doll" body! No muscles & no chest hair!

I remember when I played with them as a kid, I'd set up my stereo system as the stage & amps('cause the dolls came with cardboard guitars & drums you could cut out of their packaging), I'd blast KISS Alive II so they could play their concert! Then...after the show...they'd head back stage and fuck my sister's Barbie dolls -- you know, groupies... Good times, good times...

**Modern Rock Action figures, I've got Angus Young, Alice Cooper & James Hetfield( ...It was a gift...). I had a friend that had the Motley Crue figures(THE FUCKING BOX SET!!) from McFarlane Toys. He wouldn't sell it to me though... I didn't hold it against him though, I wouldn't have sold either!

**ODDLY ENOUGH I recently bought a Motley Crue spiral notebook and pencil bag with the Girls, Girls, Girls album cover on them. I'm a LOOOONG WAY from my school days, but I bought 'em anyway, cause it's Motley Crue and they should never have merchandise on a clearance shelf in Wal-Mart!

I got Rick Allens DRUMSTICK! from Sheffield City Hall on the first league of the Hysterica tour, they hadn't broke big yet then in the UK. Kinda of cool becuase it was there homecoming gig.

I also had a mini set of drumsticks on a key ring from Wolfsbane drummer Steve Danger from back in the day. I used to keep them on my demin jacket.

Just today dug these out of my junk drawer. They are Angus Dollars. They were hard as hell to get. When AC/DC did their show in San Francisco for the Razors Edge tour in 1992 these were dropped from the rooftop rafters of the Cow Palace onto the crowd by the thousands during the song " Money Talks " . It was a mad dash to grab them. I remember getting pushed, punched, kicked, stomped on, and trampled on but managed to grab 6 of them. I think I may have given one away sometime.

Wow my 100th post. Yeh !

I have figurines of Brian Johnson, Angus Young, Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons.

Also got 2 vinyls, 4 cd's and 1 setlist all signed by Alice Cooper when I met him backstage 3 months ago. Also got 5 photos with him which i would love to upload on here but I need more time to think whether it's safe.

Not sure how rare they are but I found Poison's Flesh & blood Album with the original bleeding tattoo cover.
