Now they didn't allow any cameras inside the Hall of Fame but I got a few photos on my phone when the many guards there were looking the other way..

ZZ Top's Eliminator (also on the cover of the Eliminator Album)

The First Les Paul Concept by Gibson.
Did you Know?
Gibson wasn't going to work with Les Paul at first? Fender offered Les Paul to work with them and use his design, but since Les was a die hard Gibson fan he told fender he was going to give Gibson one last chance. He then went to Gibson with the "broomstick" guitar (right of photo) and Gibson took the offer.

Before leaving the Rock Hall I noticed these guys walking around who looked to be apart of a band. I found out they were members from the band Black Veil Brides. So I got a magazine they were in and had them sign it.

Awesome! I ran out of time on my trip, otherwise I wanted to hit up the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. If your still in Buffalo, you gotta check out the Anchor Bar where Buffalo Hot Wings were invented. And if you do, see if they put the bottle of Point Beer I gave them up behind the bar with all the other barley pops from around the world

the cool thing about it is the owner has all his old bikes on display. They also will put up your license plate if you give it to them

Didn't care for Anchor Bar. Our Waitress was a bitch. I did see your Point beer bottle though.

Did you take a boat ride on the Maid of the Mist and get all wet?

camaro_guy
07-27-2010, 11:06 PM
No, tourist trap!!! you see just as much at the observation desk for "Behind the Falls." and it's cheaper. Tip for anyone going to Niagara Falls. Never buy gifts on the US side. The Canada side has all the same crap but its cheaper.

TomKat
07-27-2010, 11:26 PM
Well I can say you can't see shit from the deck of The Maid of the Mist. It's the being close to the bottom of the falls and getting wet experience.

TK, if you eat this bar you will be able to drive better!
