CBGB's
CBGB's was a legendary music club located at 315 Bowery at Bleecker Street, in the borough of Manhattan in New York City. It was founded by Hilly Kristal, in 1973, and was originally intended to feature country, bluegrass, and blues music. However, it became legendary as a forum for American punk bands such as the Ramones, television, Blondie, and Talking Heads. On display, is an actual piece of a wall from this famous venue. Hard Rock preserved the famous interior walls, complete with graffiti and concert flyers, when the club closed in 2006.

The Ramones
The Ramones were the first New York punk rock band to sign a recording contract largely due to their regular performances at CBGB's Music Club in New York City. This was the mic stand used by Joey Ramone on the last tour of the Ramones in 1996. |
