Re: Hard Rock London



     Shannon,
  The story I've heard about the begining of the Hard Rock starts 
with Eric Clapton.  Eric frequented a bar in London and gave the 
owner one of his guitars.  Pete also went to the same bar.  One day 
he went in and saw Eric's guitar on the wall.  A few days later a 
package was sent to the bar.  Pete sent a guitar with a note that 
said "Mine's as good as his".  From there the idea to collect stuff 
from famous Rockers was born.
  The guitar you saw is called a Flying V.  I don't know if this is 
the same guitar, but Pete is pictured with one on the Chinese Eyes 
album and plays one during Slit Skirts on the Chinese Eyes video.
