Ultrarare RAMONES items in the basement of METROPOLIS VINTAGE!

The basement of METROPOLIS VINTAGE was once again transformed for the most unique of events –  a showcase for an upcoming auction of one-of-a-kind RAMONES and rock memorabilia. Presented by RR Auctions, the room was filled with plenty of amazing artifacts, including leather jackets worn and signed by Dee Dee and Joey Ramone, Johnny Ramone’s guitar and sneakers, rare flyers, original paintings, the “GABBA GABBA HEY” sign held aloft by the pinhead during live proceedings, and most importantly, and almost impossible to miss, a massive 35-foot-long “Adios Amigos” banner that hung behind them onstage during the Ramones final tour. The event even landed METROPOLIS VINTAGE a cameo on CNN as seen above and in the footage below!

Most were from the collection of Andrew D. Gore, who also displayed his own artistry – quite amazing stained glass interpretations of classic punk album covers and icons, From DEVO to THE CLASH and NIRVANA and MINOR THREAT.

 

Check out some of the items on display! Our good friend, artist John Holmstrom collaborated a bit with some images of and by the great Arturo Vega, who also designed the Ramones’ ADIOS AMIGOS banner. John will be back soon with an exhibition of his own design.

A good time was had by all, and we’re looking forward to seeing what happens to these artifacts come auction time! Here’s to another great exhibit at Metropolis. Gabba Gabba Hey!

You may have already seen the news, but the sensational ROSÉ of BLACKPINK stopped into Metropolis the other day to search out some new pieces.  She was all smiles, no pink venom anywhere, just oversized jackets, posing in our dressing room and dancing in front of the mirror.
