Guitar Center and Hollywood RockWalk
Stores / Malls, West Hollywood
Fodor's Review:
For those about to rock, this store salutes you. Musicians and the fans who love them will want to stop by the Guitar Center on Sunset, where you can try out any musical instrument your heart desires as well as view memorabilia donated by some of the store's star customers -- -Led Zeppelin's set list, Jeff Beck's yellow Strat guitar, and KISS members' platform boots are memorable highlights. A place that has provided equipment for virtually every band to have come out of Los Angeles since the 1960s, the store started paying tribute to its rock star clientele by creating a "RockWalk," out front. The concrete slabs are imprinted with the talented hands of Van Halen, Bonnie Raitt, Chuck Berry, Dick Dale, Def Leppard, Carlos Santana, KISS, and others. Two standouts are Joey Ramone's upside-down hand and Lemmy of Motörhead's "middle finger salute." Inductees are celebrated with a ceremony that's open to the public -- check the Web site for details.
