Rock & Roll Icons’ Guitars and Outfits

tierneycreates: a fusion of textiles and smiles

John and I recently returned from a trip to to Miami and Hollywood, Florida. John had a poker tournament at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida.

I spent a day at the Hard Rock Hotel wandering about and donating some money to slot machines while John was in his poker tournament.

The hotel’s decor was a tribute to Rock & Roll and when you first enter the hotel they have guitars on their doors:

The also have a guitar shaped Guitar Hotel!

The hotel had an AMAZING collection of Rock & Roll memorabilia, primarily instruments (mostly guitars) and outfits that Rock & Roll icons played and wore. For those of you who love music like I do, I thought you might enjoyed some photos of their displays.

The Guitars

Here is a selection of some of the awesome guitars on display:

In case you have trouble reading the sings below the guitars in the images above, they are in order: Lenny Kravitz, Tom Petty, Geddy Lee (Rush), Eric Clapton, Johnny Cash, and Nancy Wilson (of Heart).

The Clothing

Here is a sampling of some of the outfits worn by Rock & Roll icons they had on display:

The signs might be difficult to read in the image above so here are the artists attached to the clothing in each image in order: The Supremes, John Lennon (The Beatles), Buddy Holly, Jimi Hendrix, Prince, George Michael, Keith Moon (The Who), and The Temptations.

Of course the images I share in this post do not do justice to what the guitars and clothing looked like in real life. It was amazing to see the displays of Rock & Roll history in person.

The hotel and casino was beautiful inside and I really loved this entire wall of seashells they had on display:

More on our recent trip to Florida in another post, just wanted to share a little about my visit to this hotel/casino.

  3. COOOOOOOL! I love that they have outfits from the entire Supremes and Temptations lineups, though they aren’t the most exciting outfits I’ve ever seen those groups wear 😆. I’m a serious devotee of Motown and watching musical acts on The Ed Sullivan Show’s YouTube channel. Thank you so much for sharing.
