HARD ROCK LIFE
MEMORABILIA SPOTLIGHT

THE WHO
INSTRUMENT – 1970

I

n a career that spanned nearly forty years,
John “The Ox” Entwistle of the Who defined
the sound and approach of the bass guitar in
heavy rock. His passion and technique have
influenced every rock bassist who’s picked
up the instrument since. This absolutely
stunning Alembic bass was custom-made for
John in the ‘70s. John had a long relationship
with the Alembic Company and some of their
best-known designs were created specifically
for him.

LADY GAGA
CLOTHING – 2000

L

ady Gaga is much more than just the latest
occupant of the house that Madonna built
– she’s a deeply talented musician, songwriter
and performance artist much more akin to
legends like David Bowie and Jim Morrison
than to the fickle world of pop. Her ability to be
provocative and challenging while appealing
to a mass audience is unmatched in the 21st
century. This black patent leather cape was
worn by Lady Gaga at the 2009 American
Music Awards.
