Is there any piece of rock memorabilia that you think is worth $48,000?

Maybe it's because I don't have an extra $48,000 laying around and collecting dust, but I can't imagine shelling it out for a lock of John Lennon's hair. Don't get me wrong, John is a rock legend...I just...I don't know.

So thinking about this made me wonder if there was any item from any musician that I would spend nearly $50,000 on if I had it. Can you think of anything from your favorite musicians that you would spend the money on, or would you save your money?

LOL...I appreciate that, Mike.

Unless if was a private performace from some band that I love, nah... I would spend a pretty penny for signed guitars from certain people, but not $50,000... That's a house down payment if you ask me, lol.

Well if I was rich I would probably buy some rock stars' cars, like Ozzy just auctioned off.

The charred remains of Hendrix's strat from the '67 Monterey Pop Festival.

If I had 50,000 dollars laying around, I'd probably buy a signed guitar or something. Seems more practical than hair. I don't know, maybe its just me...

jimi hendrix guitar or jimmy paige guitar. any great guitarist guitar i would spend that much on but especially those two

Completely honest here, I tried to figure out a way to jokingly say that I'd invest $48K in the undergarments of a few particular female artists, but no matter how tongue in cheek or "ha-ha" funny it was supposed to be, it just came out creepy.

So, the answer is no.







NP: "Only You" - Kiss

Well, Billy Joel is my fave artist but there's nothing that he has / has used that I would pay that sort of money for. Though I did once pay over 拢300 for a signed copy of a rare album.

I know the original lyrics written on scrap paper to some Beatles songs were sold to a collector in England a few years ago for several thousand but other than that i'd be struggling.

Maybe a signed guitar by Hendrix

Or the white suit worn by Elvis ??????????

I agree with you totally. I can't believe how people can spend that much. Recently a fan paid $83,000 I think for 2 tickets to Led Zeppelin's reunion. At a time like Christmas, I honestly think that money should go somewhere that needs it. If I had so much just lying around I would give most of it to charity and keep a bit. $48,000 on a lock of hair is ludicrous so I would save the money.
On the other hand, if I had given some money to charity and had a lot left I wouldn't mind a Jimmy Page signature Les Paul...

I would try and use the money to fund a reunion tour for Operation Ivy. But, because I am funding the tour, they have to let me come on stage and sing a new song at each destination (just background vocals or something). So, basically, I'm paying 50k for pictures of Me on stage with Operation Ivy.
I'd do the same thing with the Misfits too! But they would probably battle it a bit more because of personal relationships. Operation Ivy would be more cool about it.

One of Dimebag's signed guitars that he actually played,oh yeah

ANY original recording from Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon". Worth more than 48k.

Well, it better be. My dad has a huge collection of Elvis signed records and apparently...that will eventually be my inheritence. But I would not spend that much on memorabilia!

if i was rich enough to be able to spend 48 thou on a lock of hair, then i wouldn't deserve to be rich because that is just INSANE!! come to think of it.... i actually would. that is, if the rock memorabilia was a lamborghini a rock god owned, cuz then i'm gettin a damn good deal!!

Yeah... I'll take the 10' Eddie that comes on stage during the Iron Maiden concerts, would make a nice piece in my foyer... I'd rather have him in his mummy outfit from the Powerslave tour..

Let me phrase it this way. Imagine if Gerard was the main protagonist from that two girls and a cup video. If one of his brainwashed legions were willing to cough up $48,000 for the full "cup", then there's the answer. Anything can have value to it based on what someone is willing to pay for it, no matter how worthless (and disgusting) it might be in reality.

Perhaps for investment purposes only would I spend $50,000 on a rock artifact.

id like to by the (pig) from pink floyds concerts. ya know the one thatcomes out flying when they play one of these days. it has the lazer eyes and thenid have each member sign it..if i had money laying around thats what id buy..

on my budget now though i'd settle for a david gilmour guitar pick..i could afford that...(maybe L.O.L)

The bat carcass that Ozzy bit the head off of !

If I had money lying around, I definately spend it on some GREAT rock memorabilia.

I can't see it for Lennon's hair, no but for say Jimmy Page's Gibson Doubleneck, or the Fender Stratocaster Clapton used on Layla sure. That would be worth it

Courtney Love's virginity but I don't think such a thing ever really existed.
