A Flock of Seagulls - Signature Wall
A Flock of Seagulls, good guys!
A Flock of Seagulls, good guys!
What can I say, they liked our Custom 1965 Dr. Martens Vespa!  Dr. Martens did 16 promotional scooters, they had this Vespa Sprint painted up just for us back in 1997, we still have it at our shop.
the second time through!  this time with Praga Khan! - just as wild, just as much fun!
Lords of Acid famous 'last words' on the Wall of Fame - "Do Not Shop On Acid"
When Lemmy walked through the door we were all kind of shocked.  A good friend of the store, Tony Broncucci ( AKA Tony Rock n Rolla  R.I.P.) brought him in. Lemmy was ruff and grouchy and mean.. everything you wanted in a rock star!!  He wanted White TUK Creepers, we tried to get him a cool pair but his feet were messed up from year and years of crazy ass cowboy boots and he couldn't get this feet in them.  Lemmy looked up from his chair where he was trying on the shoes and said 'just get an god damn belt!' - he grabbed a 3 row pyramid studded white leather belt!  We asked him if we could take a photo, he looked kind of bothered, but when he saw Lisa, we knew it was cool.
it doesn't get any better than this - Like we said he was kind of grumpy, which was ok, he was one hard ass man.  so when we asked him to sign the wall he did it up in style,  Motorhead you Motherfuckers! would you expect anything less..?
Rikki Rockett of Poison and the boys from Great White (band) came into the shop.  They were just running around 13th avenue.  They were doing a Hairband/headbangers Ball at the Fillmore. ( Rikki with store kid Michael )
the first time the boys came to the shop - and one of the best times!  they were here in Denver playing KTCL Channel 933 "not so silent night" Daniel Ash, David J, Kevin Haskins ( with store kid Lisa )
All 3 of the boys, Daniel Ash, David J and Kevin Haskins signed the wall in classic Love & Rockets style.  2 Bubblemen from Daniel & Kevin and David J took off his boot and traced it!  For a shoe store, pretty cool signature!  (more about this in a future post)
the first time in for Neville Staple from the Specials. Â He popped in back in 1988 when they hit town for a show at Fiddlers Green, KTCL's Big Adventure
